Who Should I Start? Marquise Brown or Rome Odunze

Monday, October 13, 12:55 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown caught all four of his targets for 45 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 6 win over the Detroit Lions. Brown has quietly emerged as a solid WR3/flex play this season, scoring at least 8.0 fantasy points (PPR) in all six of his games so far. Sunday's victory was his fifth game this season (of six total contests) in which Brown had at least four catches, as well as his fourth with at least 42 receiving yards. It's hard to predict which Kansas City receiver will get the bulk of the volume during any given week, but Brown has certainly been a steady fantasy contributor so far. He's a mid-range WR3/flex option for Week 7 against the Raiders.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze has emerged as a breakout star through four games, totaling 296 yards and five touchdowns. Odunze has clearly claimed the WR1 role in Chicago, evidenced by his 90.7% snap share and 94.3% route participation rate, while continuing to build a strong connection with quarterback Caleb Williams. The Week 6 matchup is favorable, as the Commanders have allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Odunze's strength against man coverage is another plus, especially since Washington runs man defense the 10th most in the league. The second-year receiver enters the week as a low-end WR1, with another opportunity to extend his breakout campaign.
