Who Should I Start? Marvin Harrison Jr. or Rome Odunze

Saturday, December 21, 7:16 AM

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is a flex play with great potential in Week 16. He and the Cardinals will travel to Carolina to face a defense that ranks 16th in fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers. Harrison Jr. has been boom or bust all season, and this week, he's presented with an opportunity to boom. He has been somewhat touchdown-dependent for fantasy production this season, and he will be facing a defense that has allowed the most passing touchdowns in the NFL. Despite not fully living up to the high expectations that come with being a top-five pick to this point, he has received over 90 targets this season and will be involved in Sunday's game plan. Harrison Jr. should be considered a flex play this week, with managers trusting him in their lineups.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze caught 2-of-7 targets for 39 yards in his team's 30-12 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football. The rookie again saw a decent amount of work but continues to play third fiddle in Chicago's air attack behind veteran wideouts Keenan Allen and DJ Moore. On the bright side, Odunze recorded at least six targets for the seventh time in eight games. However, he's averaging just 3.75 receptions and 47.25 yards in that frame. Better days are ahead for the 22-year-old, and his future appears bright as long as long as quarterback Caleb Williams continues to develop at the pro level. For now, though, he'll be tough to trust as a viable option in Week 16 despite squaring off against a depleted Detroit Lions defense.
