Who Should I Start? Rome Odunze or Ladd McConkey

Sunday, November 9, 10:46 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze surprisingly put up a donut for his fantasy managers in the Week 9 comeback win over the Cincinnati Bengals in a game in which the Bears put up 40-plus points. The 23-year-old second-year pass-catcher rewarded fantasy managers who stuck with him in another comeback win for Chicago on Sunday over the New York Giants, as Odunze caught six of his 10 targets for a team-high 86 yards and a touchdown. Odunze also led the Bears in receptions and targets, and his sixth touchdown of the year was a two-yard hookup with quarterback Caleb Williams in the fourth quarter. The strong day was great to see for Odunze, who went quiet after scoring five times in the first four games of 2025. Consistency has not been Odunze's strong suit in his sophomore season, but he still leads Chicago in catches (37), receiving yards (559), and receiving touchdowns (six) through 10 weeks. The former first-rounder should be in all fantasy lineups in a potential Week 11 shootout against Minnesota.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey caught four of his six targets for 107 yards and a touchdown in Sunday night's 25-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. McConkey has been on a tear over the last six games following a slow start to the season. The second-year wideout averaged just 8.4 PPR points per game over the first four games, but has bounced back since, posting 17.4 per game since Week 5. McConkey's 107 receiving yards were more than double the next closest Chargers' pass catcher, with Quentin Johnston finishing with 42 yards. The 24-year-old remains the clear top target for Justin Herbert and should continue to be a high-end fantasy producer for the rest of the season. McConkey will rank on the WR1/WR2 border for Week 11 against the Jaguars.
