BALLER MOVE: Start in 16+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: It has been hard to rely on Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze in fantasy to start the year. Aside from his 23.4 PPR fantasy day in Week 3, Odunze has busted in three of the four games this season. Last week, the rookie only caught one pass for 10 yards while seeing a season-low three targets.
As a result, Odunze is not a strong play in Week 5 against the Panthers. Even though Carolina has allowed six touchdowns to opposing wideouts this season, the rookie appears to be the fourth option in Chicago's offense -- behind DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, and Cole Kmet.

Therefore, it's best to leave the rookie out of your lineups this week. He has scored less than 5.5 PPR fantasy points in three of four games this season and should only be started in 16-plus team leagues this weekend against the Panthers.
