Bears' Rome Odunze: Six targets in defeat
Rome Odunze caught three passes for 23 yards in the Chicago Bears' 19-3 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.Odunze was showing signs of life after posting the second 100-yard game of his career last week. However, with Caleb Williams passing for just 120 yards against New England, there was little opportunity for any Chicago receiver to do well. Odunze is a rising star, but in the short term, he may be limited by the Bears offense.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Showing rapport with Williams
Rome Odunze recorded five receptions on seven targets for 104 yards in Sunday's 29-9 loss to the Cardinals.Odunze's role in Chicago's offense is becoming more consistent, as he has commanded 13 targets across the team's last two games combined. He made the most of his chances Sunday, highlighted by a 44-yard catch early in the second quarter when he broke free of Arizona's secondary. Odunze added three additional receptions of at least 15 yards, ultimately accounting for four of the team's five longest plays from scrimmage. While Keenan Allen remains Caleb Williams' favorite target, Odunze has emerged as a more explosive option in the offense and could be in for a big second half of the season.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Leading receiver in loss
Rome Odunze recorded three receptions on six targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 18-15 loss to the Commanders. He added two rushes for 13 yards.Odunze ended with a modest stat line, but his ability to command opportunity stood out. Caleb Williams attempted only 24 passes in the low-scoring affair, which led to Odunze finishing second on the team in targets -- Keenan Allen earned seven -- while leading the way in receptions and yards. The Chicago Bears also made a point to get Odunze involved in the offense with two rushing attempts, another indication that he could see an expanded role throughout the second half of the season.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Solid yardage total in victory
Rome Odunze caught two passes for 40 yards in the Chicago Bears' 35-16 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.In a game that Caleb Williams spread the ball around to his top five options, there wasn't enough volume for Odunze to have a big performance. Other than a 112-yard effort in Week 3, the rookie has yet to have more than 40 yards in a game. He's settling in as a low-upside option based on lack of consistent target volume.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Five catches in Week 5 win
Rome Odunze caught five of six targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 36-10 win over the Panthers.Odunze tied Keenan Allen for second on the team in targets, but DJ Moore continued to work as the clear leader in Chicago's passing game, turning his team-high eight targets into 105 yards and two touchdowns. Of Odunze's 206 receiving yards through five games, 112 came in a Week 3 outburst while Allen was sidelined by a heel injury. The rookie first-round pick's speed could give Jacksonville's struggling secondary trouble in Week 6, but Odunze has a low floor while battling Moore and Allen for targets.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Limited to one catch Sunday
Rome Odunze secured one of three targets for 10 yards in the Chicago Bears' 24-18 win over the Rams on Sunday.The rookie shifted back to a No. 3 role with Keenan Allen returning from a two-game absence due to a heel injury, and he saw a major downturn in production as a result. Odunze's target and yardage totals were his lowest yet through four games, so he'll have plenty of room for improvement in a Week 5 home matchup against the Panthers.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Cleared to face Rams
Rome Odunze (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams.Odunze was a full practice participant Friday, after the Chicago Bears added him to their injury report Thursday as a limited participant. He's emerged as the top downfield target in Chicago -- coming off a 6-112-1 receiving line and league-high 235 air yards Week 3 against the Colts -- but Odunze's volume projection will get a modest bump downward if Keenan Allen (questionable, hip) ends up playing Sunday after progressing to full practice participation Friday.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Tending to hip issue
Rome Odunze practiced in a limited capacity Thursday due to a hip injury.Odunze is a midweek addition to the Chicago Bears' Week 4 practice report, but the current issue differs from the MCL sprain that he suffered in the season opener and impacted his practice reps during Weeks 2 and 3. He was able to tough out the injury the last two games while Keenan Allen (heel) was sidelined, combining for eight catches (on 16 targets) for 145 yards and one touchdown during that span. Allen has cobbled together back-to-back capped sessions this week, so their respective listings on Friday's report will be something to monitor in advance of Sunday's contest against the Rams.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Leading receiver in loss
Rome Odunze caught six of 11 targets for 112 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Colts.He added two rushing yards on one carry. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams threw his first two career TDs, and his fellow 2024 draftee Odunze was on the other end of the first one, a one-yard strike in the fourth quarter. With Keenan Allen (heel) out, the wideout's 11 targets were more than he saw in the first two games combined, and Odunze's role in the Chicago offense -- and his chemistry with Williams -- continues to grow ahead of a Week 4 clash with the Rams.
