Rome Odunze, WR, Chicago Bears

Rome Odunze started the season incredibly in September and quickly established himself as Chicago’s primary receiving option. Odunze had 296 receiving yards and five receiving touchdowns after four weeks, and looked to have become a top receiver in both real life and fantasy.

However, he then had a bye in Week 5, and hasn’t been the same since. In his two games since the bye, Odunze has caught just four of his 11 targets for 63 yards and no touchdowns.

Regardless, the second-year receiver has continued to lead the Bears in targets and should also benefit from likely shootout games against Baltimore and Cincinnati. Odunze should still be considered a mid-to-low-end WR2 in fantasy, and the Bears’ growing pains will be worth it in the long run.

Parker Washington, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars

Parker Washington is a less-obvious buy-low this week and should be widely available on waivers. The Jacksonville Jaguars have a bye in Week 8, making Washington a speculative stash, but one with significant potential upside.

Brian Thomas Jr. has struggled to start the year and left the Jaguars’ Week 7 blowout loss early after taking a hit in the fourth quarter. It’s very possible that the team decided not to put him back in due to the lopsided scoreline, but Jaguars fans will be concerned about the player’s apparent shoulder injury.

With Jacksonville chasing the game, Washington was targeted 10 times at Wembley, catching four for 52 yards. He also found the end zone with an explosive 62-yard punt return, which was then called back for holding.

If you have space on your roster for a stash, Washington could turn into a tremendous asset if Thomas misses time, and you could save some FAAB budget by getting in a week early.

Matthew Golden | GB (at PIT)

Either I’m confused about the plan or the Packers are confused about the prospect.

I’m not sure either is a good outcome.

Matthew Golden had a 14.8-yard aDOT through five career games before checking in at 3.8 last week in Arizona.

Is he a field stretcher? A gadget guy? At risk of disappearing altogether when the WR room is at full strength with Jayden Reed and Christian Watson on the mend?

I maintain my thought that there is potential here. Jordan Love is going to take his shots, and Golden has proven capable of getting vertical, but the odds of us achieving any level of consistency are declining week by week.

Pittsburgh has allowed at least four deep completions in two of its past three games, and if that trend continues, Green Bay’s talented rookie could bail you out during a tough week.
