Rome Odunze vs Travis Hunter: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between Rome Odunze and Travis Hunter for your lineup, you are not alone. Rome Odunze finished the 2025 season at 10.3 PPG for the Chicago Bears (12 games), and Travis Hunter averaged 7.1 for the Jacksonville Jaguars (7 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.
Target volume is the story here. Rome Odunze saw 90 targets in 2025, while Travis Hunter drew 45. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Rome Odunze, even in weeks where Travis Hunter posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
Rome Odunze has his bye in Week 7, and Travis Hunter rests in Week 12. 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.
