Rome Odunze Week 3 Outlook - Bears at Colts

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, Sep 21st 2024, 2:05am EDT

Odunze is playing through a sprained MCL. Last week, he had an 83% route share while drawing a 13.5% target share, a 28% air-yard share, and an 18.2% first-read share with 0.83 YPRR and one end zone target. If Odunze is a full go again this week, he could have a strong outing, assuming his knee allows him to play in the same area code as his usual effectiveness. He's been solid on a per-route basis. Among 86 qualifying wide receivers, Odunze is 30th in separation and 31st in route win rate. Odunze will run about 66% of his routes against Jaylon Jones (70% catch rate and 112.1 passer rating), Dallis Flowers (career: 59.3% catch rate and 107.0 passer rating), and Samuel Womack lll (career: 77.8% catch rate and 115.0 passer rating). Indy has allowed the fifth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
