Who Should I Start? Baker Mayfield or Rome Odunze

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that quarterback Baker Mayfield (neck) is "good" after he suffered a stinger late in the 30-7 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday in Week 12. Mayfield's neck injury isn't expected to impact him moving forward as the team prepares to face the division-rival Carolina Panthers in Week 13. Injury aside, the 29-year-old veteran was impressive in the win over the G-Men, going 24-for-30 for 294 yards with no TDs or interceptions. He added four carries for 29 yards and a highlight-reel touchdown run. On the negative side, Mayfield fumbled twice and lost one. It helped that Mayfield got his top target back in receiver Mike Evans, who he connected with five times for 68 yards. With Evans back and with another nice matchup against Carolina this upcoming weekend, Mayfield should be on the map as a low-end QB1 in fantasy.

In Week 12, Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze delivered a solid performance in the team's 30-27 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Odunze finished with five receptions for 39 yards but was kept out of the end zone for another week. While the other Bears playmakers were more involved in this contest, limiting Odunze's opportunities, he still made several key plays. Late in the game, with the Bears needing to generate big plays to stay in the contest, Odunze was targeted and showed his ability to step up in crucial moments. Although he didn't find the end zone, the rookie wideout continues to demonstrate promise as a dependable option. With a quick turnaround, Odunze and the Bears will face the NFC-leading Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Thursday, looking to bounce back.
