Marquise Brown vs Rome Odunze: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between Marquise Brown and Rome Odunze for your lineup, you are not alone. Marquise Brown finished the 2025 season at 7.1 PPG for the Philadelphia Eagles (16 games), and Rome Odunze averaged 10.3 for the Chicago Bears (12 games).
That 3.2-point weekly advantage for Rome Odunze is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Marquise Brown turned 74 targets into 587 yards and 5 touchdowns, while Rome Odunze converted 90 looks into 661 yards and 6 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
Marquise Brown has his bye in Week 5, and Rome Odunze rests in Week 7. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at wide receiver for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
