Who Should I Start? Rashid Shaheed or Rome Odunze

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed is not a fantasy option in Week 14 against the Atlanta Falcons. Shaheed's snap count percentage has capped out around 50% for this team. He is being used as more of a gadget player than a true WR2. It is always difficult to integrate a new player at the trade deadline, but Shaheed is capable of much more in this offense. To make matters worse, Shaheed is not even being targeted down the field despite his limited usage. He does not possess the potential to hit on a big play unless he takes a punt return to the house. At this point, Shaheed can be dropped from your team. Until the Seahawks demonstrate that he is going to be a fully integrated piece of their offense, he is not going to be worth rostering in fantasy.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) will not participate in the team's Week 14 matchup with the Packers, as he has been ruled out with a foot injury that has held him out of practice all week. Odunze has run hot and cold this season, and he is coming off a rough Black Friday outing that saw him catch only two of six targets for eight yards. His absence should lead to increased looks for veteran DJ Moore and rookies Luther Burden III and Colston Loveland, all of whom have fallen victim to the Bears' hot hand rotation at times throughout the year. The Packers defense has been one of the stingiest fantasy matchups across all positions, but in a game that could decide the top spot in the NFC South, a healthy 44.5 point over/under should lead to scoring opportunities across the board.
