Rome Odunze vs Tory Horton: Who Should You Start?
Two wide receivers who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Rome Odunze (Chicago Bears) finished the 2025 season averaging 10.3 fantasy points per game in 12 games. Tory Horton (Seattle Seahawks) came in at 7.3 PPG over 8 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Rome Odunze carries a 3.0-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Target volume is the story here. Rome Odunze saw 90 targets in 2025, while Tory Horton drew 22. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Rome Odunze, even in weeks where Tory Horton posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Rome Odunze sits Week 7 while Tory Horton is off Week 10. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
