Brian Thomas vs Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze holds a 19.7% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 10/2/2026
THE CASE FOR THOMAS
Brian Thomas has a clearer path to immediate target and TD volume in Jacksonville, with less risk of being the WR2/3 in a crowded room. His archetype (vertical/X, splash-play scoring) can swing weekly matchups, which matters most for contenders. He’s also slightly younger and typically cheaper than Odunze, making the production-per-cost bet attractive.
THE CASE FOR ODUNZE
Rome Odunze carries the cleaner “alpha” profile long-term: size, route diversity, and projected target-earning translate to stable year-over-year dynasty value. Chicago’s offensive ceiling is higher if the passing game hits, and Odunze’s skill set fits as a future target hog even if year one is shared. The market already reflects that insulation (5.3% higher), which tends to hold in dynasty unless Thomas clearly outproduces.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Lean Brian Thomas if you’re chasing points now and can capitalize on the slight discount versus Odunze.
Lean Rome Odunze for the higher long-term value floor and better odds of becoming a perennial top-12 target earner.
It’s close—take the cheaper of the two or use roster fit (need spike weeks = Thomas, need value stability = Odunze) as the tiebreaker.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Worth more?
Odunze is worth more by market (about 5%), but Thomas can be the better buy at cost.
Trade?
If you have Odunze, I’d move to Thomas only if you’re getting a meaningful plus (e.g., an extra 2nd); if you have Thomas, I’d add a small piece to upgrade to Odunze for a rebuild.
Superflex?
In SF, this is still mostly a WR-vs-WR bet—prioritize the one you can acquire cheaper relative to your QB build and contention window.
