STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Odunze's boom-bust profile and Seattle's elite deep coverage make him too risky for Week 8 lineups.

While Odunze's targets are limited, they are valuable downfield targets. However, Seattle's defense is elite against deep throws, posting an EPA/play of 0.55 on throws 15+ yards downfield—significantly better than the next closest team at 0.20. This makes Odunze more boom-bust week-to-week, and the likelihood of a bust game is too high to plug into lineups. The source prefers Luther Burden III over Odunze in this matchup.
