Who Should I Start? Isaiah Hodgins or Troy Franklin

New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins has played close to a full-time role since getting signed off the Steelers' practice squad a few weeks ago. Hodgins has played 76.6% of the offensive snaps while recording eight catches for 103 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets in three games. The 27-year-old should continue to see steady playing time and targets behind Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton in a positive Week 15 matchup against the porous Washington Commanders defense. The Oregon State product earned six targets in each of his first two games, but had only one in their most recent game against the Patriots in Week 13 before the bye. Hodgins profiles as a deep-league flex option in a favorable matchup in Week 15.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin saw another dropoff in snap share during the 20-13 win against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17. After posting an uptrend in snaps with 50% in Week 15 and 64% in Week 16, Franklin was only on the field for 38% of snaps in Week 17 despite not having to compete with rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant (concussion) for snaps. Franklin still caught all four of his targets for a modest 17 yards and no touchdowns. The Broncos will host the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 18, and Franklin will seemingly remain a volatile option until otherwise noted.
