Who Should I Start? KhaDarel Hodge or Chimere Dike

Saturday, November 22, 5:17 PM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge could be in line for a bump in volume in Week 12 against the Saints as Drake London (knee) is sidelined due to injury, with London's double-digit target volume up for grabs. The team's other back-end receiving options, David Sills V and Casey Washington, will also be vying for targets, but now in his fourth year with the team, Hodge has more familiarity in the offense and with Kirk Cousins. It may not amount to much more than a few catches, as it did in Week 8 when London was absent and Hodge compiled eight targets from Cousins, converting three of them for 31 yards. Managers in deep 14-team leagues or larger and those who play DFS could take a shot on the 30-year-old wideout as an under-the-radar lottery ticket in the event he finds the end zone.

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike has held down a full-time role in the offense, but hasn't emerged as a reliable option for fantasy football. Dike leads the Titans with 24 targets in the past four games, but has generated just 93 yards. The rookie fourth-rounder delivered his two best fantasy performances in Weeks 7 and 8, scoring 16.9 and 16.4 PPR points. However, he has underwhelmed in six games since, averaging just 6.6 points per game. The Florida product still profiles as the most reliable receiver in the Titans' offense, but he is tough to trust for fantasy purposes for a tough matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. He profiles as a deep league FLEX option at best in Week 16.
