Rome Odunze plays SEA and Kendrick Bourne plays DAL in Week 8.
By fantasy points allowed to each position, Odunze faces the 1st-toughest defense against WRs and Bourne faces the 10th-softest defense against WRs, so Kendrick Bourne has the softer matchup.

Kendrick Bourne has the bigger role, and volume is the steadiest thing a projection rests on.
