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

Wednesday, October 22, 9:51 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. had his best game of the season in the team's wild comeback win over the Giants in Week 7, catching six of his seven targets for 85 yards and adding a carry for 13 yards. Mims ran a season high 56.6% of the routes and delivered his most receiving yards in a game since Week 17 last season against the Bengals. The 23-year-old has played in a rotational role for the most part this season while also playing a key role on special teams, returning punts and kicks. Head coach Sean Payton likes to rotate his receivers, but Mims could be in line for more opportunities in a potential shootout in Week 8 against the Cowboys after his strong showing in Week 7.

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.
