Who Should I Start? Rome Odunze or Jayden Higgins

Wednesday, November 5, 4:30 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (ankle, heel) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice. Odunze was a DNP in practice to open last week as well, before eventually clearing the report by Friday ahead of their Week 9 matchup against the Bengals. Odunze was joined by fellow wideout D.J. Moore (hip, groin), who also sat out Wednesday's practice. The 23-year-old had the first catchless game of his career in Week 9, recording zero catches on just three targets in a dream matchup against a poor Cincinnati defense. Chicago racked up a whopping 576 yards and scored 47 points, but Odunze was not a part of their monster scoring outburst. He'll look to bounce back in Week 10 against the Giants if he's able to clear the injury report.

Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins worked his way into a larger role for the team while injuries to Christian Kirk (hamstring) and Nico Collins (concussion) opened an opportunity. While he still has upside, he's tough to count on in fantasy linesups for Week 9 against the tough Broncos secondary, with both Kirk and Collins cleared to return. Higgins had four catches for 34 yards and a touchdown in Week 8's win, leading the team in targets with eight. He is unlikely to see that much volume this week, but he has shown an ability to make big plays, with two touchdowns on the season. This week, he'll be a touchdown-dependent flier play in a flex spot, and he's only the WR70 in RotoBaller's rankings. There are probably better options available for your lineup in most formats.
