Should You Start or Sit Rome Odunze in Week 14?
Odunze has earned 16 targets over the past two weeks, growth that is nice to see as this young offense begins to take shape long-term. Unfortunately, like a toddler learning to walk, it’s not all seamless.
Despite all of the volume, Odunze has 13.4 PPR points to show for the spike in usage. He’s seen at least four deep targets in three straight games, and while that gives him the potential to break out any day now, this matchup doesn’t profile as the right spot to roll the dice.
Opponents average just 9.3 yards per deep pass against the 49ers this season (fourth-lowest), projecting this to be another game with plenty of shots and little success. Anthony Richardson has the lowest passer rating among qualified QBs this season at 64.3 — that’s 17.7 points higher than the number of opponents that have posted when throwing deep against San Francisco this season.
This looks like a conservative game plan for Caleb Williams, and that’s not the type of projection I want as an Odunze manager.
