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

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. is an interesting player in Week 17 against the Indianapolis Colts. The Jaguars' offense has been impressive over the last few weeks, but that hasn't meant guaranteed production for the second-year pro. With that said, the Colts are a great matchup, which Thomas Jr. somewhat took advantage of in Week 14, putting up 87 yards on just three catches. If BTJ can combine that big-play ability with an endzone trip or two, he could be in for a big day. However, after just 18 yards last week, he is difficult to trust. Thomas Jr. is a boom-or-bust play that is certainly worth consideration in Week 17, especially with the numerous injuries to close out the season.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) has been ruled out of the team's Sunday Night matchup with the 49ers, his fourth consecutive missed game since popping up on the injury report following a Week 13 win over the Eagles. In his absence, the Bears have seen spike games from DJ Moore and Luther Burden III (ankle), who returned to a full practice on Friday and carries no injury designation into Sunday after missing a game of his own with an ankle injury. Both Moore and Burden, along with rookie tight end Colston Loveland, remain in play against a middle-of-the-pack 49ers defense that has been most vulnerable through the air.
