Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Rome Odunze

Monday, September 8, 2:17 PM

Russell Wilson will get the start at quarterback for the New York Giants when they face the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2. Head coach Brian Daboll revealed on Monday that no change is imminent at the position, following a Week 1 performance that saw Wilson complete fewer than 50% of his passes at a paltry 4.5 yards per attempt. For the third season in a row, the Giants failed to score a touchdown in their season opener. New York traded up in the first round of the draft to select Ole Miss gunslinger Jaxson Dart, who will inevitably take over at some point this season. While Wilson went largely undrafted in most fantasy formats, drafters who spent an early pick on Malik Nabers will have to wait at least one more week for a change. Nabers is still an every-week start on volume alone, but the Giants' offense as a whole will need to see an increase in efficiency to return his heavy draft cost.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze got off to a great start to his sophomore season on Monday Night Football. He led the Bears with six catches on his team-high nine targets and totaled 37 receiving yards along with a touchdown. His fourth-quarter touchdown brought the Bears back to within three points, but they weren't able to finish their rally, falling 27-24 to the Vikings. Odunze showed a strong connection with Caleb Williams and looks ready to take on a featured role in new coach Ben Johnson's offense. Next week, Williams and Odunze will go on the road to Detroit for another divisional contest. Odunze should remain very relevant for fantasy as long as he keeps getting so many targets, especially near the goal line.
