Who Should I Start? Khadarel Hodge or Hunter Renfrow

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice. Hodge injured his ankle in Atlanta's second preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals when he was twisted to the ground by a defender. Although the wideout didn't practice on Monday, his limited participation on Wednesday has him trending in the right direction for the season opener. Hodge caught 13 passes for 202 yards and one touchdown with Atlanta in 2022. He comes in as the Falcons' WR4 if he suits up in Week 1.

The Las Vegas Raiders are releasing wide receiver Hunter Renfrow when the new league year begins later on Wednesday, according to a source. Renfrow was to count $13.7 million against the 2024 salary cap. Along with Renfrow, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is being released, as expected. The move to cut Renfrow saves the Raiders $8.21 million in cap space this year. The 28-year-old veteran had a career year in 2021 by catching 103 passes for 1,038 yards and nine touchdowns, but he had just 61 combined receptions for 585 yards and two touchdowns in 27 games the last two years, making him an easy salary cap casualty this year. Depending on what other additions Vegas makes at the receiver position, Tre Tucker currently stands to benefit as the team's No. 3 wideout with the subtraction of Renfrow, behind top receivers Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers.
