Who Should I Start? Rome Odunze or Tetairoa McMillan

Thursday, December 11, 4:27 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) was listed as a limited practice participant for the second straight day on Thursday. Odunze is battling a stress fracture in his left foot that sidelined him for Chicago's Week 14 loss to the Green Bay Packers. While Odunze's status for his team's Week 15 matchup against the Cleveland Browns is up in the air, his ability to get on the practice field in a limited capacity could indicate he will try to give it a go. Across 12 games this season, the 23-year-old has recorded 44 receptions for 661 yards and six touchdowns on 90 targets. Odunze's production has tailed off a bit in the second half of the year, as he's recorded more than three catches in just one game since Week 8. Still, he profiles as a borderline WR2/WR3 if active against Cleveland. If Odunze remains sidelined, Bears wideouts Luther Burden III and Olamide Zaccheaus would both be in line for more work.

Tetairoa McMillan wasn't very busy in Week 13, but still made a notable impact in the Panthers' stunning 31-28 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. The rookie WR was targeted just twice, his lowest target count of the season. However, McMillan caught a 43-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter that proved to be the game-clinching score. McMillan has now caught TD passes in three consecutive games, and he finished Week 13 with 11.3 PPR points. In Week 15, after a bye, Carolina will face the New Orleans Saints in a Week 10 rematch. In the first meeting against the Saints, McMillan finished with 60 yards on five receptions. New Orleans ranked 20th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to WRs in the four weeks leading up to Week 13. Although he did not see much volume in Week 13, McMillan has a favorable matchup in Week 15, where he is likely to see more targets. Due to his solid fantasy floor this season, McMillan is worth considering as a WR3 or flex start.
