The Bottom Line

Rome Odunze is the better fantasy play this season.

Cross-position decisions depend on league format. In half-PPR, Rome Odunze (10.3 PPG) is the higher-floor play. Theo Johnson (7.0 PPG) could win a specific week on touchdown variance. For FLEX spots, lean toward the player with the softer defensive matchup that week rather than defaulting to season averages.

Fantasy Tiers

Rome Odunze: Tier 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) WR (ranked #28 at the position). Theo Johnson: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) TE (ranked #24 at the position). Comparing across positions, raw PPG is less useful than positional scarcity. A Tier 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) WR is harder to replace on waivers than a Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) TE in most league formats.

Rome Odunze vs Theo Johnson: The Full Breakdown

Comparing Rome Odunze (WR, Chicago Bears) against Theo Johnson (TE, New York Giants) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Rome Odunze averaged 10.3 PPG in 2025 over 12 games, while Theo Johnson posted 7.0 PPG across 15 games.

Cross-position FLEX decisions cannot be made on PPG alone. Positional scarcity, matchup quality, floor versus ceiling, and league scoring format all shift the answer. A 14 PPG tight end in a thin TE week is often worth more than a 16 PPG receiver in a deep WR week, because the opportunity cost on the waiver wire is wildly different.

DraftCall's AI engine weighs all of these signals and returns a verdict with clear reasoning, so you are not cross-referencing four different rankings tabs on a Sunday morning.

Rome Odunze has his bye in Week 10, Theo Johnson in Week 8. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.
