New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins has been a key piece of the team's offense in the late part of the regular season and last week's Wild Card win over the Minnesota Vikings. Hodgins caught eight of his nine targets for 105 yards and a touchdown last week.
However, he's been on the injury report heading into the Divisional Round of the NFC playoffs in a matchup against the rival Philadelphia Eagles. The game day status of Hodgins will be important for DFS contests, as it could affect the upside of Daniel Jones, Darius Slayton, Richie James, and others.
Will Hodgins play against the Eagles, and what is his DFS outlook if he suits up? Let's dive in.

Isaiah Hodgins Injury Update for Fantasy Football
New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Divisional Round matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Hodgins has been limited in practice this week but appears ready to go for this weekend's matchup.
This is great news for Daniel Jones and the New York offense, as Hodgins has emerged as a legitimate pass-catcher in recent weeks.
Isaiah Hodgins Divisional Round Fantasy Outlook
Hodgins has produced great numbers recently, but his toughest test will come on Saturday against the stellar Eagles' outside cornerbacks. James Bradberry and Darius Slay form arguably the league's best cornerback duo in the league and Hodgins has a slot rate of just 11.5-percent (Playerprofiler.com).
The Eagles allowed the fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season and were specifically strong against outside wide receivers. Richie James might be able to find some success with volume in that slot role, but Hodgins' floor and ceiling look to be mightily diminished in this contest on paper.
Hodgins is more expensive than Zay Jones and Gabriel Davis in this four-game playoff slate, so Hodgins feels like an easy fade this weekend.
