Chicago Bears
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Odeyingbo joined the Bears this offseason after four years with the Colts, with whom he logged 31 tackles, including 3.0 sacks, in 2024. Despite playing all 17 games and logging 120 more snaps than the previous year, he couldn't match the 8.0 sacks he tallied one year prior. Still, his size and athleticism fit Chicago's defensive front. He's projected to handle rotational snaps at defensive end and could rebound with improved usage. Odeyingbo offers modest IDP value in deeper formats. Read Past Outlooks

Odeyingbo is in line to sign a three-year, $48 million contract with the Bears, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Odeyingbo will depart Indianapolis after four seasons with the Colts. In 2024, the Vanderbilt product recorded 31 combined tackles, including his lowest sack total since rookie season with 3.0. He'll figure to be a prominent piece on the Bears' defensive line in 2025.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Odeyingbo, a 2021 second-round pick, put together career-high numbers across the board in 2023. He's begun to find success as a key rotational pass rusher in Indianapolis' defensive scheme, and in 2024 Odeyingbo's numbers could uptick again if he's able to more consistently handle above 50 percent of defensive snaps.
Odeyingbo played all 17 games for the Colts in 2022 and started four of them. He is expected begin the 2023 campaign as the starter at right defensive end.
The Colts selected Odeyingbo in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, 54th overall, despite him suffering a torn Achilles' tendon just a few months before the draft. He returned to play in ten games last season, but just 167 snaps and he had just six tackles. He'll likely be a developmental project this season and the second-round investment looks like a reach at this point.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Plans to play this season
DEIndianapolis Colts
May 7, 2021
Odeyingbo (knee) suggested Friday "the goal is to be back playing this year", Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Many assumed the Colts' most recent second-round pick would be unable to play his rookie year after tearing his Achilles back in January, but the defensive lineman seemed to indicate that wouldn't be the case. A potent combination of size and speed, Odeyingbo would be an excellent force along the front seven provided he's healthy enough to contribute.
