Who Should I Start? Brian Thomas Jr. or Rome Odunze

Sunday, November 16, 11:39 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) is officially inactive for the Week 11 game on Sunday against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers. Thomas suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 9 and will now miss a second straight game. The good news is that Thomas was able to practice this week (three limited showings), which should bode well for his chances of returning for a Week 12 game against the Arizona Cardinals. The Jags are also without rookie first-rounder Travis Hunter (knee) for the year, which means newcomer Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington and Dyami Brown should operate as the team's top wideouts against the Bolts. Washington scored two touchdowns (one receiving, one on special teams) in last week's loss to the Houston Texans, and his elevated role makes him a prime WR4/flex option in PPR fantasy leagues.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze has been fantastic in his second season in the NFL. In nine games, Odunze has hauled in 37 of 69 targets, for 559 yards and six touchdowns, ranking as the WR15 on a per-game basis. Despite going through a rough patch since the bye week, Odunze has strung together good outings, including last week, where he had 86 yards and a touchdown in less-than-ideal conditions. The weather will be a non-factor this week, as the Bears play in a dome for the first time since Week 2 (where Odunze had his best game of the season). The Vikings' defense has looked better as of late, but so has the Bears' offense, who currently rank seventh in the NFL in scoring offense. Odunze is a high-end WR2 in Week 11.
