Who Should I Start? Isaiah Hodgins or Justin Shorter

Sunday, November 16, 8:37 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins is expected to have a role in the offense during the Week 11 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Hodgins was signed off the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad on Thursday. It doesn't seem like he'd have enough time to prepare for this game. However, Hodgins is familiar with the Giants organization. The 27-year-old has played with this team in each of the last three seasons. He should be familiar enough to go out and make some plays on Sunday. The Giants are without Darius Slayton (hamstring), so Hodgins could step up in his place.

The Las Vegas Raiders have made a series of back-of-roster moves, elevating third-year wide receiver Justin Shorter to the active roster and signing veteran receiver Phillip Dorsett to fill his spot on the practice squad. The Raiders were able to open a roster spot after moving Amari Cooper to the Reserve/Retired list following his unheralded retirement announcement on Thursday. At 6'4" and 227 pounds, Shorter was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in 2023 but spent his rookie season on injured reserve. He spent 2024 between the Raiders' active roster and practice squad as he transitioned to playing tight end. He made ten regular-season appearances without registering a stat. While the Raiders search for any depth in the wide receiver room, Shorter's signing should have no significance to fantasy managers.
