Rome Odunze Fantasy Football Outlook (ROS)

By Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Mon, Nov 25th 2024, 8:52pm EST

Rome Odunze was targeted 10 times but caught just 5 passes for 39 yards. He had the ideal usage you love to see - 110 air yards, multiple end-zone red-zone looks - but he fell short.
Buy him low everywhere across the board. He plays enough from the slot - at least 40% - the last two weeks to benefit from the positive matchup versus Detroit.
Williams has relied on Odunze in key moments, which happened in this game. Fourth and three, Williams connected with his fellow rookie on a 14-yard dart that helped Chicago force overtime.
From Weeks 13-17, the Bears play @ DET, @ SF, @ MIN, DET and SEA. The only Bear I'll leave the light on for is Odunze. He is an uber-talented rookie and leads the Bears in air yards this season amid difficult target competition.
Last two weeks, he trails only Allen on the team in target share (25% versus 29%) despite 223 air yards. His explosion game is coming.
