Who Should I Start? Michael Wilson or Rome Odunze

Saturday, November 1, 8:33 PM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson has been quite the disappointment so far this season. Through seven games, he still has yet to crack double-digit fantasy points in PPR leagues and hasn't broken into the top 40 either. Even though he has seen nine targets in the two games that Jacoby Brissett has started, that's turned into a total of 84 yards and no visits to the end zone. The Dallas Cowboys, in Week 9, present one of the easiest matchups for the Cardinals' passing game, but Wilson still doesn't project higher than WR60. Fantasy managers should be able to find better options on the waiver wire unless it's a deeper league. In that case, godspeed.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze has enjoyed a breakout sophomore season under first-year head coach Ben Johnson, recording 31 receptions for 473 yards and five touchdowns on 56 targets in seven games. The 23-year-old leads the team with a 25.5% target share and has built a solid rapport with fellow second-year quarterback Caleb Williams. Odunze is coming off his best game since Week 3 against the Cowboys, catching seven of 10 targets for 114 yards in Week 8 at Baltimore, the fourth 100-yard game of his career. The 2024 first-rounder is again set up to reward fantasy managers with a beautiful matchup on deck against Cincinnati. Odunze ranks as RotoBaller's WR9 in PPR formats for Week 9.
