Rome Odunze Week 4 Outlook - Rams at Bears

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Fri, Sep 27th 2024, 10:05pm EDT

With Allen likely back this week, Odunze will move back into a field stretching role, but that could pay off massively in Week 4. In Week 1, with Allen active, Odunze only had a 10.3% target share and a 10% first-read share. The Rams have utilized single-high on 55.8% of their defensive snaps this season. Over the last two weeks, against single-high, Odunze has only had a 10.2% target share, but his aDOT has been a massive 29.6. He leads the team with seven deep targets, which comprise 39% of his target volume this season. The good thing for Odunze is that the Rams have been the worst team in the NFL against deep passing. Los Angeles has allowed the most deep passing touchdowns (five), the highest passer rating on deep targets (154.4), and the highest deep completion rate. Odunze is a boom/bust proposition for Week 4, but the boom could be deafening. Odunze will run about 63% of his routes against Cobie Durant (58.3% catch rate and 74.3 passer rating) and Tre'Davious White (66.7% catch rate and 147.2 passer rating).
