Who Should I Start? KhaDarel Hodge or John Metchie III

Saturday, October 25, 7:49 PM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge (pectoral) is no longer listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's clash with the Miami Dolphins. The 30-year-old appeared on the Week 8 edition of the injury report because of a pec issue. However, he logged full practice sessions on Thursday and Friday. With that in mind, Hodge hasn't done much of anything for fantasy managers this season, logging 26 offensive snaps while being targeted only once. There's a chance Drake London (hip) won't play after being downgraded to questionable on Saturday. Still, even if London can't get on the field, Hodge isn't expected to benefit.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver John Metchie III is in line for more opportunities in Week 8 against the New York Giants with A.J. Brown (hamstring) ruled out. Metchie has played sparingly this season with just 22 offensive snaps and four catches (four targets) for 18 yards in the six games that he's been active. The 25-year-old wideout, along with former first-round pick Jahan Dotson, will both see more routes, but neither would be considered a reliable fantasy option on Sunday against the Giants. Philadelphia could opt to take advantage of the Giants' weaker run defense, which ranks 28th in rush success rate on the season. More targets will likely be directed to DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert, making Metchie a desperation play only in Week 8.
