Who Should I Start? KhaDarel Hodge or Jimmy Horn Jr.

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.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Panthers' sixth-round pick was rumored to be an up-and-coming piece in the Carolina offense, with some speculation that he could have an immediate role in Week 1. Instead, his NFL debut will have to wait at least one more week. Dalevon Campbell is also inactive on Sunday, leaving the Panthers with five active receivers on gameday.
