Who Should I Start? D.K. Metcalf or Rome Odunze

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf was quiet in a Week 12 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. Metcalf caught four passes for 59 yards on five targets. Since his return from an MCL sprain in Week 11, Metcalf has not produced the high-end numbers fantasy managers are accustomed to. Additionally, fellow wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has emerged as an excellent weapon for the Seahawks and quarterback Geno Smith. Still, Metcalf's talent is too strong to ignore. He is unlikely to stay quiet for long. This is especially true considering that the Seahawks are entering a stretch run of the season in which they have a chance to take control of the NFC West. They do not have an egregious schedule for wide receivers ahead and should be able to produce solid numbers in the passing game. It is only a matter of time before Metcalf finds his way back into the high-end WR2 conversation.

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.
