Rome Odunze Week 16 Outlook - Lions at Bears

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 19th 2024, 1:05pm EST

It's tough to trust Odunze at this point in the fantasy playoffs. Since Week 11, Odunze has finished as a top 30 wide receiver in weekly scoring only once while seeing a bevy of red zone work (ten red zone targets). Since Week 7, Detroit has utilized single-high at the ninth-highest rate (58.8%). Since Week 11, against single-high, Odunze has had an 18.5% target share, 1.13 YPRR, and a 17.2% first-read share. The Lions' secondary is exploitable at this point, but Moore and Allen also have nice matchups, so it really comes down to the question of "Can Caleb Williams support three pass catchers this week for fantasy?" I'm not sure that he can. Since Week 12, Detroit has allowed the 11th-most PPR points per target and fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers.
