Jameson Williams Held Without a Catch in Week 7, Remains Impossible for Fantasy Managers to Trust

Tuesday, October 21, 1:32 PM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams saw just two targets and was held without a catch in his team's 24-9 Week 7 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 24-year-old has been one of the most frustrating players in fantasy so far this season, recording just 17 catches for 289 yards and two touchdowns across seven games. Williams has now been held to two or fewer receptions and 43 or fewer receiving yards in five out of seven contests. Williams ranks third on the Lions in targets (30), but his target volume has been more than doubled by Detroit's WR1, Amon-Ra St. Brown (61). As long as Williams continues to average around four targets per game, he's going to have major bust weeks in fantasy. His big-play ability gives him the capability to pop on any given week, but Williams profiles as a boom/bust flex option at best heading into Detroit's Week 8 bye.

Rome Odunze Ready to Rebound Against Ravens

Saturday, October 25, 11:34 AM

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze has cooled off over the past two weeks, but he remains on track for a strong season. Through six games, the second-year wideout has caught 24 of 46 targets for 359 yards and five touchdowns, ranking as the WR12 on a per-game basis. Odunze's recent struggles can be attributed to a mix of poor weather and bad luck. Still, a bounce-back opportunity looms in Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens, who have surrendered the sixth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. The Ravens also run man coverage at the fourth-highest rate in the league, which is where Odunze has consistently thrived. Expect Odunze to get back on track this week, offering high-end WR2 upside in a favorable matchup.
