                    Apart from staying healthy, not much went right during Odunze's rookie season. He arrived in Chicago as the ninth overall pick last spring, alongside No. 1 selection Caleb Williams, who also had WR DJ Moore, WR Keenan Allen and TE Cole Kmet at his disposal. Odunze ultimately drew 101 targets and even had a few big games, but there were 12 instances of 42 or fewer receiving yards and 11 instances of single-digit PPR points. Among the 32 WRs that ran 500 or more routes, Odunze was 24th in target rate (17.3 percent) and 23rd in yards per route (1.26) despite ranking 10th in YAC average (4.8). The Bears, meanwhile, were 13th in pass attempts but 31st in passing yards, undone by a combination of poor blocking, bad coaching and an ugly rookie season from Williams. None of that deterred former Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who turned down a slew of other head-coach opportunities the past two years. After hiring Johnson, the Bears acquired three new veteran starters for their interior O-line, including two-time All-Pro Joe Thuney. They also let Allen walk, but then drafted TE Colston Loveland and WR Luther Burden with top-40 picks to ensure target competition remains strong. There's a solid Year 2 breakout case for Odunze even with the new competition in town, given his impressive physical traits (4.45 40 at 6-foot-3, 212 pounds) and standout college production (2,785 receiving yards his final two years at Washington). He isn't flying under the radar, however, so he probably only makes sense at ADP if you expect a big step forward for Chicago's offense as a whole.

            Expects to play Sunday
Odunze (heel) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
				ANALYSIS
A spectator for the Bears' first practice of the week Wednesday, Odunze's ability to increase his activity a day later is an encouraging sign as Sunday's game against the Bengals approaches. The Bears will wait until after Friday's practice before deciding whether Odunze carries a designation into the weekend, but the second-year receiver told Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times after Thursday's session that he expects to be good to go for Sunday's contest.

This Week's Opposing Pass Defense
    
            How does the Bengals pass defense compare to other NFL teams this season?
            
        
                The bars represents the team's percentile rank (based on QB Rating Against). The longer the bar, the better their pass defense is. The team and position group ratings only include players that are currently on the roster and not on injured reserve. The list of players in the table only includes defenders with at least 3 attempts against them.

            How do Rome Odunze's measurables compare to other wide receivers?
            
            
                This section compares his draft workout metrics with players at the same position. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that metric and it would be considered average.

    It's hard to find a weakness in Odunze's prospect profile, especially after he confirmed his athleticism at the combine with a 4.45 40-yard dash at 6-3, 212. He was one of the few wideouts to go through nearly every test, and each of his scores landed above the 60th percentile among WRs the past two decades, including a 4.03-second short shuttle (93rd percentile). Amari Cooper, Chris Godwin and Ja'Marr Chase are the only 200-plus-pound WRs that have posted better times than Odunze in both the 40-yard dash and short shuttle. The Washington product also checks boxes for age (22 in June) and production (1,145 receiving yards as a junior and an FCS-leading 1,640 as a senior). The only real ding against him is that Odunze had only 483 receiving yards in 13 games his first two seasons before coach Kalen DeBoer and QB Michael Penix lifted the Huskies to national prominence. And even that feels like nitpicking, considering Odunze caught six passes in four games as an 18-year-old freshman during a pandemic-shortened season. The bust risk is low long term, but he does have some short-term concerns in Chicago in the form of target/snap competition from veteran WRs DJ Moore and Keenan Allen. The Bears also have a pair of capable pass catchers at tight end (Cole Kmet, Gerald Everett), making it hard for any one player to see a dominant share of targets -- especially a rookie.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
    Filling traditional X role
Coach Ben Johnson views Odunze as the "X" receiver in the Bears offense, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
				ANALYSIS
Johnson praised Odunze on Tuesday, saying the wide receiver has the skill set to play outside the numbers and win one-on-one matchups in all areas of the field. Those are significant comments given Odunze's relatively uninspiring rookie season, as well as the Bears' offseason additions of Luther Burden and Colston Loveland in the draft. While Odunze will have to back up the hype come the regular season, he appears on track to secure a significant role in the offense.
