Yahoo Sports NFL on Rome Odunze
From the article
He is — please sit down before continuing — the WR54 in half-PPR points per game, below Ryan Flournoy and Jaylin Noel. And while there are small signs that he could improve down the stretch, that improvement is unlikely to start this Monday night against Seattle. The Seahawks have allowed the fewest fantasy points per game to wideouts this year (16.46), while surrendering a league-low 91.7 receiving yards per game to the position.
STACKED’s take
Odunze is WR54 in PPG; Seattle allows fewest WR points and lowest explosive pass rate.
Odunze has shown shockingly little upside through seven weeks, with one outing of 94 yards in Week 4 but averaging just 3.4 receptions per game and zero touchdowns all season. Luther Burden III and Colston Loveland have stepped up since Caleb Williams' return, and the run game remains the crux of the offense, leaving Odunze with a small share of a small pie. He ranks WR54 in half-PPR points per game, below Ryan Flournoy and Jaylin Noel. Against Seattle in Week 8, the matchup is particularly unfavorable: the Seahawks have allowed the fewest fantasy points per game to wideouts (16.46), the league-low 91.7 receiving yards per game, and the league's lowest explosive pass rate (8.4%, more than two points lower than the 49ers at 10.7% and nearly half the league average of 15.1%). Only Mike Evans and Terry McLaurin (both with 9+ targets and touchdowns) have scored double-digit points against Seattle.
