Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or Rome Odunze

Tuesday, November 18, 11:43 AM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett looked like he was on his way out of the league earlier this season as a minimally utilized member of the Tennessee Titans. However, since being released by Tennessee and picked up by Las Vegas, the 33-year-old has found some new life. Over his last two games with the Raiders, Lockett has recorded eight catches for 77 yards on nine targets. Lockett is tied with wideout Tre Tucker for the target lead among Raiders wide receivers over that span, and he has established chemistry with Las Vegas quarterback Geno Smith from their time playing together with the Seattle Seahawks. Lockett is no longer an explosive downfield threat, but he appears to have established a relatively stable role in Las Vegas. He could be worth targeting in deep fantasy leagues heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze has been fantastic in his second season in the NFL. In nine games, Odunze has hauled in 37 of 69 targets, for 559 yards and six touchdowns, ranking as the WR15 on a per-game basis. Despite going through a rough patch since the bye week, Odunze has strung together good outings, including last week, where he had 86 yards and a touchdown in less-than-ideal conditions. The weather will be a non-factor this week, as the Bears play in a dome for the first time since Week 2 (where Odunze had his best game of the season). The Vikings' defense has looked better as of late, but so has the Bears' offense, who currently rank seventh in the NFL in scoring offense. Odunze is a high-end WR2 in Week 11.
