Who Should I Start? Garrett Wilson or Rome Odunze

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson could not bring in any of his three targets in Saturday's 31-12 loss to the New York Giants. Quarterback Justin Fields attempted just five passes across the Jets' two series, with three of them going the 25-year-old's way. However, Wilson was arguably interfered with on two of his three opportunities, so the former Ohio State teammates aren't totally to blame for the seeming lack of chemistry. Either way, it appears that the wideout will be a target-hog again in his fourth professional campaign. A run-heavy New York offense could cause touchdown opportunities to be sparse. Wilson should be productive anyway, given the lack of receiving options around him. Look for him and his new QB to notch their first connection in the Jets' preseason finale, a home matchup with the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze could be deployed in different spots throughout the offense, wide receivers coach Antwaan Randle El told ESPN's Courtney Cronin. The second-year receiver received praise for his versatility and athleticism, with Randle El noting that he thinks Odunze is "going to have a big year." Meanwhile, Cronin said that Odunze is blossoming into quarterback Caleb Williams' top target. While it's hard to imagine Odunze truly surpassing DJ Moore on the depth chart, it's very possible we see a 1A and 1B situation within the Bears' receiver room. Only two teams targeted their wide receivers at a higher rate than the Bears (72.1 percent) last season, and that percentage could continue to increase under the guidance of new head coach and offensive mastermind Ben Johnson. Fantasy managers should be very excited about Odunze, who has legitimate WR2 upside this season.
