Rome Odunze Fantasy Stats

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) is expected to miss this Saturday night's clash with the visiting Green Bay Packers. Odunze has been shelved for a few weeks now. Unfortunately, he was scheduled to suit up for the Week 15 win against the Browns, but he aggravated his stress fracture during pre-game warmups and seems to be trending toward being inactive again, considering he's yet to log even a limited practice session since. It's an unideal situation for the Bears' offense, particularly with rookie Luther Burden III (ankle) also in danger of missing with an injury of his own. As it stands, DJ Moore, Olamide Zaccheaus, Devin Duvernay, and Jahdae Walker are the only wideouts heading into this weekend sans a designation.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) missed another practice on Wednesday, according to Scott Bair of the Marquee Sports Network. Odunze also missed Tuesday's session and looks to be on track to miss a third straight game due to a stress fracture in his foot. Head coach Ben Johnson hinted earlier this week that the 23-year-old second-year pass-catcher could be shut down in the final three weeks of the regular season so that the team can have him closer to full strength for the playoffs. After a strong start to the season, Odunze has been a disappointment to fantasy managers in the second half, and he's likely to be ruled out for Saturday's divisional tilt against the Green Bay Packers unless he returns to practice on Thursday. Rookie Luther Burden III (ankle) has yet to practice this week, either, so Olamide Zaccheaus and Devin Duvernay, in addition to rookie tight end Colston Loveland, could be in for bigger roles this weekend behind DJ Moore if both Odunze and Burden cannot play.

The Chicago Bears listed wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Rookie Luther Burden III (ankle) was also a DNP. Odunze has missed the last two games due to a stress reaction in his foot, and head coach Ben Johnson said all options are on the table regarding Odunze going forward. It sounds as though he'll miss a third straight game this Saturday night against the division-rival Green Bay Packers, and he could be shut down for the final three weeks so he's ready to go for the postseason. Fantasy managers should be preparing as if the 23-year-old won't be active in Week 16. Burden will be an intriguing upside flex play against Green Bay if he's active and Odunze misses another game. Odunze had a promising start to Year 2, scoring five times in the first four weeks, but he's scored just once since then and is now battling injury.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) could be in danger of missing more time down the stretch. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Odunze is currently considered week-to-week. The second-year wideout missed his second straight game in Week 15 due to a stress fracture in his foot. The organization is keeping all options on the table in the final three weeks of the regular season. The Bears will likely need to lean on DJ Moore, Luther Burden III (ankle), and Olamide Zaccheaus over the next few games if Odunze misses more time. It seems unlikely that Odunze will be ready in time for the upcoming Week 16 rematch with the Green Bay Packers. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for updates, but they need another option lined up in case Odunze sits out another game.

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson said on Monday that "all options are on the table" for wide receiver Rome Odunze in terms of his foot injury, according to Bears insider Michal Dwojak. Johnson said the team will do what is best for Odunze so that he "can help them down the road." The 23-year-old second-year wideout has missed the last two games with a stress fracture in his foot. It looked like he was going to be active for Sunday's blowout win over the Cleveland Browns, but the Bears scratched him just before kickoff as a precaution. It's unclear what his status will be for the crucial Week 16 rematch against the division-rival Green Bay Packers, but it certainly sounds like Odunze could miss more time. Rookie Luther Burden III (ankle) is day-to-day after getting injured on Sunday, too, so the Bears could need Olamide Zaccheaus and Devin Duvernay to step up alongside DJ Moore. Fantasy managers shouldn't be planning on getting Odunze back this week.

In a surprise development, Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns after originally being active, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The second-year receiver was given the all-clear to play on Sunday, but re-aggravated the injury before the game and won't play at all. It was an unfortunate development for any manager who started Odunze, as the news arrived just minutes before kickoff without hardly any notice to make a lineup change. Odunze came into Week 15 ranked as the No. 29 overall PPR receiver with 44 catches for 661 yards and six touchdowns, but managers will have to hope for good news in the next couple of days about his status for Week 16 against Green Bay.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) is officially active for Sunday's Week 15 contest against the Cleveland Browns. He had been listed as questionable but was widely expected to return to action after missing just one game. He ranks as the overall WR29 in PPR leagues with 44 catches for 661 yards and six touchdowns so far. The Browns have been stingy against wide receivers this year, allowing the 12th-fewest fantasy points to the position. Chicago will likely run the ball a lot this week, but Odunze has the advantage of being Caleb Williams' favorite target when he does look to pass the ball. Odunze is a high-end WR3/flex with a low floor and high ceiling.

The Chicago Bears remain "optimistic" that wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) will play in Sunday's Week 15 contest against the Cleveland Browns, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Odunze is currently listed as questionable and is working his way back from a one-game absence. He ranks as the overall WR29 in PPR leagues with 44 catches for 661 yards and six touchdowns so far. Windy conditions and temperatures in the single digits could have an impact on Odunze's fantasy value this week, but his upside as a big-play threat in the Bears' Caleb Williams-led offense keeps him in the WR3/flex tier. Managers should verify that Odunze is active when the Bears announce their list of inactive players at 11:30 a.m. EST.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) is questionable to play in Week 15 against the Cleveland Browns. After missing Week 14 with a stress fracture in his foot, Odunze was limited on all three days in practice this week. The good news is that ESPN's Jeremy Fowler is reporting that the team is optimistic that he will return this week. After a fast start to his second season, Odunze has struggled, totaling just 365 yards and one touchdown since Week 6. Assuming he's active, he has an opportunity to right his wrongs in recent weeks. Browns star cornerback Denzel Ward is out this week, which should leave Odunze in favorable matchups against the team that runs the most man-coverage in the NFL. Assuming he's good to go, Odunze is a high-end WR3 in Week 15.

The Chicago Bears are "optimistic" that wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) will play in Sunday's Week 15 contest against the Cleveland Browns, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Odunze is currently listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. The 23-year-old is working his way back from a one-game absence. He has been a boom-or-bust receiver this year, scoring at least 18 fantasy points (full-PPR) in two of his last eight games, and fewer than 6.5 points in the remaining six of his last eight. Despite the inconsistent production, Odunze has been able to rank as the overall WR29 in fantasy scoring this year. He has been heavily involved, catching 44 of his 90 targets for 661 yards and six touchdowns. Windy conditions and temperatures in the single digits could have an impact on Odunze's fantasy value this week, but his upside as a big-play threat in the Bears' Caleb Williams-led offense keeps him on the fantasy radar. As it stands, he's a solid WR3/flex play this week. However, managers must accept that he has a lower floor.
