Snags go-ahead two-point conversion
Hodge caught one of five targets for 17 yards plus one two-point conversion during Sunday's 19-17 loss to Minnesota.
Analysis: Hodge wasn't able to do much with the bump in targets he saw with Quintez Cephus (shoulder) sidelined, but he made up for it with a reception on a go-ahead two-point conversion with under a minute remaining. If Cephus misses time and Tyrell Williams (concussion) remains sidelined, Hodge could be a bigger part of the rotation in Week 6 against the Bengals.

Snags another pass
Hodge secured his only target for 13 yards during Sunday's 24-14 loss to Chicago.
Analysis: Hodge saw most of his playing time on special teams and is nothing more than a depth option at wide receiver.

Catches one pass
Hodge caught one pass for nine yards during Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Hodge only saw five offensive snaps compared to 18 on special teams, where he operated as a gunner now that Bobby Price is taking on an expanded role defensively. Most of Hodge's value will continue to come on special teams and it's unlikely that will change unless more receivers join Tyrell Williams (concussion) on the injury report.

No snaps on offense
Hodge logged 14 snaps on special teams during Monday's 35-17 loss to Green Bay.
Analysis: After being a healthy scratch in Week 1, Hodge was active Monday but he didn't see any snaps on offense despite the absence of Tyrell Williams (concussion).

Healthy scratch Week 1
Hodge is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: The Lions thought enough of Hodge to put in a waiver claim for him when Cleveland cut him loose at the conclusion of the preseason, but the 26-year-old will open the season behind starters Tyrell Williams, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Kalif Raymond and backups Quintez Cephus and Trinity Benson on the depth chart at receiver. Even on the occasions he's active this season, Hodge is unlikely to be a high-priority option in the passing game.

Claimed by Detroit
The Loins claimed Hodge off waivers Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Hodge was Cleveland's No. 3 receiver for part of last season, and he now finds himself on arguably the weakest receiver depth chart in the league. Of course, he was waived for a reason, and he's caught only 17 passes in 39 regular-season games. Hodge most likely will be a backup and special-teams player, even with the receiver-needy Lions.

Let go by Cleveland
Hodge has been waived by the Browns, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Hodge is the odd man out after falling behind Donovan Peoples-Jones, Rashard Higgins and rookie Anthony Schwartz in the team's wideout mix. The report notes that the Browns hope to bring Hodge back in some capacity if he clears waivers.

Scores for second straight week
Hodge caught two of three targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-10 win over the Falcons in preseason Week 3.
Analysis: Hodge is perceived to be on the bubble, but he scored touchdowns in each of the final two preseason games. Last week, he made a contested catch on fourth down in the red zone from backup quarterback Case Keenum, then Sunday he and starting quarterback Baker Mayfield hooked up on a 22-yarder on the team's second drive. Hodge's special-teams credentials are hard to ignore, but there are five receivers ahead of him in the wideout mix. Rashard Higgins (leg) remains dinged up, and rookie Anthony…read more

Scores in win
Hodge caught two of four targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-13 preseason win over the Giants.
Analysis: Hodge opened the scoring with a seven-yard touchdown grab in the first quarter, helping his case to earn Cleveland's fifth receiver job behind Odell Beckham, Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins and Donovan Peoples-Jones. Hodge will hope to close out the preseason well with another good showing next Sunday versus the Falcons.

Set to sign contract tender
Hodge will sign his contract tender from the Browns on Wednesday, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Browns offered Hodge a contract tender in mid-March, allowing the team to retain his rights if they match another team's offer. While he's not a huge piece of the Cleveland passing attack, Hodge should be a valuable contributor on special teams once again in 2021.

Offered contract tender
The Browns have offered Hodge a contract tender.
Analysis: The move puts the team in a position to retain Hodge, who is set to become a restricted free agent. The 26-year-old caught 11 passes (on 17 targets) for 180 yards in nine games last season in a depth role, while making most of his mark as one of the Browns' most valuable special teamers.

Untargeted in return
Hodge was not targeted over eight offensive snaps in Sunday's 22-17 playoff loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Hodge was activated off the COVID-19 list but was used more on special teams (12 snaps) than on offense. He opened the season as the clear No. 3 wideout, but his usage lagged significantly behind Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry. Then, as rookie Donovan Peoples-Jones showed promise when given a chance, Hodge fell further behind on the depth chart. Hodge becomes a restricted free agent during the offseason and is looking at a similar role, in which he's used heavily on special teams, if the…read more

Returns to roster
Hodge was activated Thursday from the reserve/COVID-19 list, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Hodge got two targets on 42 percent snap share in the Browns' Week 17 win over Pittsburgh before landing on the COVID list for a rematch in the wild-card round. Rookie wideout Donovan Peoples-Jones then took 69 percent of snaps in the 48-37 win last week, catching one of two targets for eight yards. It isn't clear which of the two wide receivers will handle the No. 3 role this Sunday in Kansas City, and it's possible they share snaps behind starters Jarvis Landry and Rashard Higgins.

Hodge caught two of two targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 24-22 win over Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Hodge returned to action after missing Week 16 while on the reserve/COVID-19 list. He's been an afterthought in the passing attack all season and recently lost playing time to rookie Donovan Peoples-Jones, who had three targets Sunday before leaving with a concussion in the first half.

Restored from COVID list
The Browns reinstated Hodge from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.
Analysis: Along with Hodge, the Browns also activated Rashard Higgins, Donovan Peoples-Jones, Jarvis Landry and Jacob Phillips after all five players sat out last week's loss to the Jets following their respective placements on the list. Before sitting out the Week 16 game, Hodge had seemingly been usurped by Peoples-Jones as the Browns' No. 3 receiver, so the former may not be in line for much work on offense in Sunday's game against the Steelers.

The Browns placed Hodge (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, ruling him out for Sunday's road contest against the Jets.
Analysis: In addition to Hodge, fellow wide receivers Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins and Donovan Peoples-Jones were deemed high-risk close contacts and are unable to play Week 16.

Week 16 status up in air
Hodge (undisclosed) has been deemed a high-risk close contact and may not be available Sunday versus the Jets, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: The same can be said for Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins and Donovan Peoples-Jones. The Browns haven't placed any of the quartet on the reserve/COVID-19 list yet, but a decision on each player's availability may be imminent. If all four are unable to suit up Sunday, Cleveland will be down to one healthy wide receiver (Marvin Hall) on the active roster.

Clear for Week 16
Hodge (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's road game against the Jets, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Hodge spent time on injured reserve and also sat out Weeks 13 and 14 due to a hamstring injury, but he's now slated to suit up for a second straight game. In his eight appearances this season, he's managed to post a 9-155-0 line on 15 targets, making him no better than the third wide receiver in the Browns offense behind Jarvis Landry and Rashard Higgins. While Hodge has been out, rookie Donovan Peoples-Jones (8-221-1) has emerged as a threat.

Analysis: Hodge missed two games due to a hamstring injury before suiting up for Sunday's win over the Giants, but the issue still seems to be lingering. As long as the receiver is able to keep practicing in a limited capacity, however, he should be in good shape to suit up for a Week 16 road game against the Jets.

Small role in return
Hodge was not targeted and played eight offensive snaps in Sunday's 20-6 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Hodge returned to action after missing two games due to a hamstring injury. That he only played eight snaps could be a case of bringing him back slowly, or it could be a sign of the team's confidence in rookie wideout Donovan Peoples-Jones. Hodge also played another eight snaps on special teams. Prior to his injury, he was the clear No. 3 wide receiver, but Peoples-Jones has thrived in his place.

Analysis: Hodge received the designation after the hamstring injury that has sidelined him for the past two games continued to limit his participation in practice throughout the week. If Hodge can't gain clearance for Sunday's contest, Donovan Peoples-Jones would likely continue to serve as the Browns' No. 3 receiver behind Jarvis Landry and Rashard Higgins.

Analysis: The wideout was unable to practice at all last week before sitting out the Browns' 47-42 loss to the Ravens on Monday.

Analysis: Hodge seems to have suffered this hamstring injury in practice this week, and it will unfortunately keep him out of action Sunday.

Hodge was added to the Browns' practice report after he was limited participant in Thursday's session due to a hamstring injury, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hodge wasn't included on the initial Week 13 report the Browns provided Wednesday, so the hamstring injury may have been something he picked up midway through Thursday's session. The Browns will see what Hodge is able to do at Friday's practice before determining whether he'll carry an injury designation into Sunday's game in Tennessee.

Takes on bigger role
Hodge drew eight targets over the last two games after totaling just seven in his previous five outings.
Analysis: In terms of snap share, Hodge remains the Browns' No. 3 wideout, but quarterback Baker Mayfield is looking his way more often, including on a key fourth-down conversion to extend a scoring drive in last week's win over the Jaguars. Despite his increased role on offense, Hodge's main duty to start the season was blocking for Cleveland's top-ranked rushing offense, while Odell Beckham (knee) and Jarvis Landry were the main options as receivers.

Three catches in win
Hodge caught three of three targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 27-25 win over Jacksonville.
Analysis: One week after he led Cleveland's wide receivers, Hodge took a more customary role as second fiddle to Jarvis Landry.

Hodge caught three of five targets for 73 yards during Sunday's 22-17 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: On a day in which the Browns barely topped 200 passing yards, Hodge accounted for over a third of the team's receiving yardage, thanks in large part to a game-high 42-yard reception. This was easily Hodge's best output of the season, and it came in adverse conditions, which could be a positive sign for his fantasy prospects moving forward. He'll have a chance to generate more production next Sunday against a Jaguars defense that ranks near the bottom of the league in most categories against the…read more

One target in win
Hodge failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Hodge was touted as a deep-threat replacement for the injured Odell Beckham (knee) over the Browns' bye week, but there was little downfield throwing during a game that featured gusting winds and rain. The target was just the seventh of the season for Hodge, who makes more impact as a blocker for Cleveland's two-headed backfield of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.

Role without OBJ
Hodge is expected to be the deep threat replacement for the injured Odell Beckham (knee), Ellis L. Williams of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Without Beckham, the Browns have Hodge and Rashard Higgins as the next men up. Both receivers had a similar snap count in Sunday's loss to the Raiders -- Higgins had 35 snaps while Hodge played 34. Hodge has greater speed than Higgins, making him the ideal replacement as a field stretcher. Defenses may not feel the need to immediately send a safety over the top to help on Hodge, as they do for Beckham, but the Browns may want to take some shots deep to see if he can become a credible threat.

Untargeted in return
Hodge was not targeted in Sunday's 16-6 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: Hodge, who returned from a three-week stay on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury, played 34 snaps, which is right around his season average. He and Rashard Higgins (35 snaps) are the primary fill-ins for Odell Beckham (knee, IR) and will continue to be unless Cleveland makes a deal before Tuesday's trade deadline. However, judging from the performance of the defense, which gave up 208 rushing yards and were on the field for nearly 38 minutes, the Browns need help in other areas.

Removed from IR
Hodge (hamstring) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: More importantly, Hodge is expected to play and step immediately into the No. 3 WR role after the injury to Odell Beckham (knee). Hodge only has three receptions on six targets this season, but he's played at least 50 percent of the offensive snaps in each of the three games he's been active, and that could rise even further Sunday against the Raiders.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that he expects Hodge (hamstring) to return this Sunday against the Raiders, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Hodge has missed the past four games due to a hamstring injury, but he's in line to start practicing this week, which would open a 21-day window for him to return from IR.

Analysis: Hodge suffered a hamstring injury during pregame warmups prior to Sunday's 49-38 win over the Cowboys, and coach Kevin Stefanski declared Monday that the wideout was week-to-week. With his IR placement, he'll officially miss at least the next three games and will be eligible to return Week 7 against the Raiders.

Hodge appears to have a firm grasp of the third receiver spot, Marla Ridenour of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Hodge worked as third receiver for the first three games and supplanted Rashard Higgins, who was inactive in last week's win over Washington. Coaches insist Higgins is not in the doghouse, but Hodge's work on special teams gives him an edge. With Kareem Hunt (groin, questionable) and JoJo Natson (knee, IR) dealing with injuries heading into Week 4 against Dallas, there could be room for both Higgins and rookie Donovan Peoples-Jones behind Hodge on the active roster.

Hodge failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 34-20 win over Washington.
Analysis: Hodge once again served as Cleveland's No. 3 wide receiver and played more than 50 percent of the snaps for the third straight week, but the playing time hasn't translated to fantasy value. He has just three catches for 51 yards. However, Hodge had little competition for playing time Sunday as the Browns made Rashard Higgins inactive and JoJo Natson (knee) left the game in the second quarter.

Another healthy dose of snaps
Hodge caught both targets for 39 yards and played 33 offensive snaps (57 percent) in Thursday's 35-30 win over the Bengals in Week 2.
Analysis: Hodge is locked in as the No. 3 wideout, having played 56 percent of the offensive snaps through two weeks. His two targets were down from the three he had last week, but the Browns were able to play their designed offense, unlike in last week's blowout loss to the Ravens. If the Browns continue to run 60 percent of time as they did Thursday, there will be little chance of Hodge breaking out of the 2-to-3 target range.

Third among wideouts
Hodge caught one of three targets and played 40 snaps (55 percent) in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Hodge had the third-most targets and snaps among the wide receiver group, finishing ahead of Rashard Higgins, who had a perceived edge entering training camp. As close observers of the Browns suspected, the team's No. 3 wideout was less involved as a target than running back Kareem Hunt, whose six targets were more than Hodge and Higgins combined.

Lands roster spot
Hodge made the Browns' 53-man roster, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.
Analysis: Hodge is one of six wide receivers kept by the Browns, who also retained Rashard Higgins, Donovan Peoples-Jones and JoJo Natson behind starters Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham. Higgins is considered the third wideout while Natson and Peoples-Jones could factor as returners. That leaves Hodge, who is regarded as one of best gunners in the league.

Competing for No. 3 job?
Hodge is working as the No. 3 receiver at Sunday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Hodge missed some practice time this past week for personal reasons, but he's solidly in the mix for a depth role in the Cleveland offense. He logged 260 snaps on special teams and only 129 on offense last season, but he perhaps has a real shot at the No. 3 spot given that the competition consists of Rashard Higgins, Damion Ratley, Taywan Taylor and Donovan Peoples-Jones. Of course, the Browns figure to make frequent use of formations that utilize a second tight end (David Njoku) or a fullback…read more

Returns to practice
Hodge (personal) returned to practice Friday, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Hodge has missed several days this week due to personal reasons. He's looking to hook on as the team's fifth wideout, so getting back to practice will help with that goal.

Sits out practice
Hodge did not practice Sunday due to personal reasons, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Hodge is on the lower end of the wide receiver depth chart and will be challenged to make the final roster. He spent a full season with the Browns in 2020, catching four of 10 targets for 76 yards.

Back with Cleveland
Hodge will remain with the Browns after the team placed a contract tender on the exclusive rights free agent Tuesday.
Analysis: The 26-year-old was used sparingly by the Browns last season, appearing in all 16 games but managing only four catches for 76 yards on 130 total offensive snaps. With both Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry subject to trade rumors this offseason and Austin Hooper coming over from Atlanta, Cleveland's receiver room remains in a state of flux. Despite the uncertainty, it's likely that Hodge will operate as a depth option and special teams player for the Browns in 2020.

Two targets in Week 17 loss
Hodge caught one of two targets for 19 yards in a 33-23 loss to the Bengals in Week 17. He finished the season with four catches on 10 targets for 76 yards while playing all 16 games.
Analysis: All of Hodge's offensive contributions came in the final nine games after the Browns cut bait on the departed Antonio Callaway and Rashard Higgins as their No. 3 wideouts. He was never able to carve out a significant role and shared the job with Damion Ratley. In terms of targets, both receivers were behind running back Kareem Hunt, who the Browns used as their option in the passing game after Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham. Hodge becomes an exclusive-rights free agent in March.

Season-high snap count in loss
Hodge failed to catch his lone target and played a season-high 30 snaps in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Hodge has been on the fringes of Cleveland's wideout depth chart this season, but he received the third-most snaps among the position group Sunday. A special teams contributor for the most part, Hodge has received a longer look on offense after Antonio Callaway was released and coach Freddie Kitchens reduced Rashard Higgins' role. Hodge has just six targets, two catches and 51 yards over the last seven games.

Good to go Week 13
Hodge (Achilles) is active Week 13 against the Steelers.
Analysis: Hodge came into this contest with a "questionable" tag despite logging multiple full practices, but the Browns feel good enough about his status to activate him while Taywan Taylor is a healthy scratch. Hodge has worked his way into a minimal role in the offense, but his contributions lie primarily on special teams.

Listed as questionable
Hodge (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Hodge logged three full practices this week, but he's drawn an injury tag due to the tricky nature of Achilles injuries. The second-year pro plays a depth role in Cleveland's wideout corps behind Odell Beckham, Jarvis Landry and Rashard Higgins. If he were forced to miss any time, it would mean increased depth opportunities for Damion Ratley and Taywan Taylor.

Gets downfield successfully in win
Hodge secured one of two targets for 41 yards in the Browns' 21-7 win over the Steelers on Thursday.
Analysis: With the team waiving Antonio Callaway earlier in the day and Rashard Higgins not seeing a target during the contest, Hodge served as the Browns' main downfield target against the Steelers. The Prairie View A & M product had just made his first catch of the season in Week 10, and he also drew a pass interference penalty Thursday in addition to his game-long reception. Hodge could progressively carve out a larger role as a deep threat in coming weeks, beginning with a Week 12 matchup against the…read more

Makes first catch of season
Hodge made a 10-yard catch during Sunday's 24-19 loss to Denver.
Analysis: Hodge finally made the stat sheet in the closing moments of the first quarter, catching a quick pass over the middle to convert a third-and-short and help set up a Browns field goal. The former Ram dressed while fellow down-roster options Damion Ratley and Taywan Taylor sat. Even if this is the beginning of a trend for Hodge getting on the field, the eight offensive snaps the sophomore receiver saw Sunday are unlikely to move the needle from a fantasy perspective, especially Sunday against…read more
