Who Should I Start? Dyami Brown or Rome Odunze

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter had a tough time getting anything going in the Week 2 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, but Parker Washington and Dyami Brown stepped up for quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Washington led the team with 76 receiving yards, but Brown had a team-best 12 targets and also tied Washington with five receptions. The 25-year-old finished with 57 yards and scored for the first time this season. Thomas and Hunter are going to be Lawrence's primary targets most weeks, but it's notable that Brown has topped 50 receiving yards in each of the first two weeks of the 2025 season. In new head coach Liam Coen's pass-happy offense, Brown could have a consistent role all year, and if anything were to happen to Thomas or Hunter, he could be a weekly flex option in fantasy. Put Brown on your watch list.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze is putting together a strong second season in the Windy City. He hauled in six receptions and scored a touchdown in the season opener. Odunze was able to top that performance this Sunday. He snagged seven of his 11 targets for 128 yards and two touchdowns in the blowout loss to the Detroit Lions. Odunze scored both touchdowns in the first half as the Bears tried to keep this a competitive game. It was an ugly loss for Chicago, but it's good to see Odunze and quarterback Caleb Williams building solid chemistry together. For Week 3, Odunze should be on the WR2 radar for their matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. A defensive unit that just got carved up for 450 yards by Russell Wilson.
