Isaiah Hodgins with another good practice
Most of the Buffalo Bills depth chart seems to be well set at wide receiver and there is potentially one, maybe two spots, up for grabs on the 53-man roster. One of the players that have been playing better as of late is third-year wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins.
According to Thad Brown, the former Oregon State wide receiver had another plus practice on Sunday.

--Isaiah Hodgins another plus practice. He's stringing them
--McKenzie, Shakir rested today. Crowder made some plays, but had window and did not kill it
--OL combos were all over. Hart, Doyle, Ford among others all played guard and tackle today
While Hodgins is in his third season, he is relatively unknown as he has only appeared in one regular season game over the past two years. In that game, he played only four snaps which were in Week 15 against the New England Patriots this past season.
The end of the depth chart likely will go to a player who can contribute on special teams and this isn’t necessarily Hodgins’ strength but there may be a path to a spot on the 53-man roster.
One of the weaknesses of this group appears to be depth on the outside with Gabe Davis and Stefon Diggs the starters. The team could look at Khalil Shakir or Jamison Crowder as options but they don’t have the size that Hodgins possesses.
It will be interesting to see how he does in the preseason and if he continues to play well he could end up making the 53-man roster this year.
