Who Should I Start? Michael Pittman Jr. or Rome Odunze

Tuesday, October 28, 7:35 PM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. continued his strong start to the season in a 38-14 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 8. Pittman caught eight of his nine targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in the win, setting season highs in catches, targets, and receiving yards. The veteran wideout has been a dominant red-zone target this season, catching six touchdowns in eight games for the Colts. Overall, Pittman has caught 43 passes for 446 yards while operating as the team's No. 1 receiver. Pittman will remain a rock-solid WR2 heading into a Week 9 road matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (heel) was unable to practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday due to a heel injury. The Bears' offense is pretty banged up coming out of their Week 8 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, as receivers DJ Moore (groin, hip), Luther Burden III (concussion), and Olamide Zaccheaus (knee) all missed practice as well. It remains to be seen if Odunze's injury is serious enough to keep him from playing in Week 9 in a plus matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, but we should know more about his status over the next two days. After two straight 30-yard performances, the second-year wideout bounced back nicely in last week's loss, catching seven of his 10 targets for 114 yards, his second 100-yard game of the year. Odunze had five touchdowns in the first four games, but he hasn't scored since. He'll have a good chance to end his scoring drought against Cincy, though, if he can play.
