Who Should I Start? KhaDarel Hodge or Chimere Dike

Sunday, January 5, 7:53 AM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge should not be considered a playable option despite a possible opportunity Sunday against Carolina. With the Falcons unlikely to have wide receiver Darnell Mooney (shoulder), the Falcons have an opening, but the journeyman receiver hasn't been reliable enough to count on in Week 18. Earlier this year, he one catch against Dallas despite playing 81% of offensive snaps. Hodge has just one catch in the past five weeks total, a rookie quarterback in Michael Penix Jr., and a solid Atlanta running game that figures to be the central part of the gameplan on Sunday. Managers in formats that play Week 18 have better options elsewhere.

According to Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan, fourth-round rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike can play all three wide receiver positions and will get an opportunity at each spot this offseason. Dike spent last season with the Florida Gators, racking up 42 receptions for 783 yards and two touchdowns. He began his collegiate career at Wisconsin and spent four seasons in Madison. The 22-year-old flashed his speed during the pre-draft process, posting a 4.34 forty-yard dash time at the 2025 NFL Combine. The Titans have lacked high-end speed at the wideout spot in recent years, and Dike could have a chance to earn significant playing time in a young and unproven wide receiver room. If so, he'll help rookie quarterback Cam Ward get his career started in Nashville. At worst, Dike should heavily contribute on special teams.
