I also like both against a rookie CB who has a line that battled injuries in preseason. I'd rather start Geathers though, because Odom also battled injuries and it's unsure how healthy he really is.
Agreed.
Without knowing exactly what Odom's injury was, it's difficult to project how long he'll need to get back into game shape and how long it will be until he gets his first step back. He's also at risk of a soft tissue injury if he's not fully conditioned and he may not play every snap. We'll know today though. He's got an excellent matchup against Gaither/Flacco.
Geathers got plenty of pressure last season and did this preseason as well -- but has really struggled to finish the play.
So...I think both have plenty of downside this week. I think Odom may have the highest upside today, and, since Geathers isn't a great bet to convert his chances, he may be the better play if you're looking for upside. But if you need a guy that you're sure will get healthy snaps, it should be Geathers.
