The Chicago Bears (2-2) will visit the Washington Commanders (3-2) in Week 6. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Rome Odunze.

Odunze is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Rome Odunze in Week 6?
Rome Odunze has scored in every game of his young career and while we obviously don’t expect that to continue, the fact that he has an end zone look in each of those contests is a hint that this type of production isn’t happening by accident.
What I like most and believe gives this second-year star a top 20 floor the rest of the way is the versatility that he’s being given the chance to thrive with.
Ben Johnson is a mad scientist and he appears to be experimenting with exactly what is possible. Odunze has posted average depth of targets ranging from 7.5 yards to 18.3 in his four games while lining up in the slot for over 30% of his routes in three contests.
He’s being used like a star, not a developmental project, and I see no reason to think that changes. There are plenty of early-season statistical spikes that I’d sell – this isn’t one of them.
