• Bears' Rome Odunze: Struggles in MNF loss

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Odunze finished with two receptions (on seven targets) for 39 yards in Monday's 30-12 loss to the Vikings. Odunze was unable to replicate his two-score game from a week prior, instead providing fantasy managers with just two receptions in Monday's lopsided defeat. The Bears' first-round rookies struggled to get on the same page after Caleb Williams connected with Odunze on just 29 percent of his throws against Minnesota. Odunze has potential to go off on a given week, but his floor is too low to rely on against the Lions on Sunday for managers making critical lineup decisions in the fantasy playoffs.

• Bears' Rome Odunze: Week 15 Adds (WR Preview)

  8D ago • By Heath Cummings

  Odunze's domination of end zone targets finally paid off last week with two touchdowns. He has a very good matchup in Week 15 against Minnesota even if he was the only Bears wide receiver who wasn't good agaisnt them last time. I like Odunze as a WR3, but I love him as a boom/bust flex.

• Bears' Rome Odunze: Week 15 Waiver Priority List

  8D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Since Thomas Brown took over as the offensive play-caller in Chicago, Odunze has 31 targets in four games, and he scored at least 12.5 PPR points in two of those outings. He just had four catches for 42 yards and two touchdowns on five targets at San Francisco in Week 14, and he could be a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues heading into Week 15 at Minnesota. He also faces Detroit in Week 16 and Seattle in Week 17, and this could be a strong finish for Odunze in his rookie campaign.

• Bears' Rome Odunze: First multi-score game of career

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Odunze caught four of five targets for 42 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-13 loss to the 49ers. Odunze cashed in a pair of garbage-time touchdowns in Sunday's blowout loss for the first multi-score game of his young career. When the rookie scored during the contest shouldn't matter to fantasy managers, who had witnessed just one trip to the end zone over the wideout's previous 12 contests. Odunze's inconsistency in Chicago's flailing offense keeps him from relevance in shallower formats ahead of next Monday's tilt against Minnesota.

• Bears' Rome Odunze: Disappointing Thanksgiving numbers

  20D ago • By RotoWire

  Odunze caught two passes for 25 yards on six targets in Thursday's 23-20 loss to the Lions. Odunze has mostly been promising during his rookie season, but this game was one of his most forgettable. It's possible that most of Odunze's struggles Thursday were outside his control -- DJ Moore (16 targets) and Keenan Allen (eight targets) seemed to be earlier than Odunze in most read progressions, and with the Detroit pass rush in play it would have been difficult for Caleb Williams to regularly get to his third read. Odunze remains capable but probably less than reliable as a fantasy asset with a road game against the 49ers up next.
