2025 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Two grabs in return from injury
Odunze brought in two of six targets for 44 yards in the Bears' 31-27 wild-card win over the Packers on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Making his return from a five-game absence due to a foot injury to close out the regular season, Odunze finished second in both receiving yards and targets among Chicago's wideouts on the night. The second-year pro delivered noteworthy gains of 17 and 27 yards on his pair of grabs, making it an encouraging performance following the month-plus layoff. Odunze's conditioning and stamina should take another step forward during the forthcoming practice week ahead of next weekend's divisional-round clash.

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
Returning for wild-card matchup
Odunze, who missed the last five games of the regular season due to a foot injury, doesn't carry an injury designation for Saturday night's wild-card matchup against the Packers, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Odunze was able to jump back into full practice participation Thursday after putting in limited sessions Tuesday and Wednesday. The second-year wideout has been dealing with a stress fracture in his foot since late October, and given the five-game layoff, offensive coordinator Declan Doyle suggested Odunze could be on some form of abbreviated snap count versus Green Bay.
