Who Should I Start? Tutu Atwell or Rome Odunze

Sunday, January 18, 5:15 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Divisional Round contest against the Chicago Bears. Atwell is a healthy scratch after he did not appear on the Rams' injury report leading up to gameday. The 26-year-old had an underwhelming regular season and also dealt with a six-week injury absence. He finished the campaign with six catches, 192 yards, and one touchdown, and he was not targeted in the Rams' Wild Card win over Carolina. His absence should lead to more offensive snaps for Xavier Smith and Konata Mumpfield in their depth roles behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) reiterated that he will not need offseason surgery on his foot, according to Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times. Odunze had a stress fracture in his foot that caused him to miss the final five games of the regular season. He returned for Chicago's two playoff games to catch exactly two passes for 44 yards in both contests. The 23-year-old second-year wideout was a popular breakout candidate in fantasy going into the 2025 season, and he was well on his way to fulfilling that with five touchdown catches in the first four games. However, Odunze quickly cooled off and scored only one more time in his final 10 games. His foot injury likely had something to do with that. Odunze will look to bounce back in 2026 with better health, but his fantasy ceiling could be capped with the emergence of young receiver Luther Burden III and tight end Colston Loveland.
