It probably comes as no surprise that this game represented a career high for Hodgins in receiving yards and fantasy points, but it’s not completely out of nowhere. Since Week 10, Hodgins leads the Giants receivers in catches and yards. He’s scored five touchdowns in his last six games.

There’s no question that the Giants are a little thin when it comes to receiving talent. This has opened up the space for Hodgins and Richie James to become Daniel Jones’ go-to weapons in recent weeks. But is Hodgins’ ascent only the result of a lack of competition?
