Rome Odunze Fantasy Stats

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) is off the injury report and is set to return to action on Saturday night against the division-rival Green Bay Packers in the Wild-Card round of the postseason, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. It will be Odunze's first game action since Week 13 due to a stress fracture in his foot. Despite missing five straight games, the 23-year-old second-year pass-catcher finished third on the Bears with 661 receiving yards, and he was tied for the lead with six touchdown grabs. The former first-rounder scored five of his six TDs in the first four weeks of the season before hitting a wall. Odunze's drop in production may have had something to do with his foot injury, but regardless, he enters postseason play as a shaky WR4/flex option in fantasy leagues. In his absence for the last five weeks, rookie WR Luther Burden III and rookie tight end Colston Loveland have been the team's go-to receiving options.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) said he plans to play in Saturday's Wild-Card matchup against the division-rival Green Bay Packers, according to Adam Hoge of AllCHGOcom. Odunze has missed the past five games due to a stress fracture in his foot, but he appears set to make his return in the playoffs. The second-year wideout has cooled off considerably since the Bears' Week 5 bye, recording three or fewer catches in six of eight games, with only one touchdown after finding the end zone five times in the first four weeks of the season. It's tough to trust Odunze as anything more than a low-end flex option for fantasy in the playoffs, with Chicago's pair of rookies in Colston Loveland and Luther Burden III emerging as go-to targets down the stretch.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) was listed as limited in practice again on Wednesday as the team prepares to face the division-rival Green Bay Packers on Saturday night on Wild-Card weekend. Odunze has not played since Week 13 due to a stress fracture in his foot, but the Bears are hoping he'll make enough progress this week to return for the first round of the playoffs. The 23-year-old second-year wideout may need to upgrade to a full practice on Thursday to avoid taking a questionable tag into the weekend. Odunze managed to score five times in the first four weeks of the season, but he cooled off considerably after that before being shut down due to his foot injury. Odunze will be a shaky WR4/flex option in fantasy for the playoffs if he returns against the Packers. Since Odunze last played, rookies Luther Burden III and Colston Loveland have become a much larger part of Chicago's offense.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) was listed as a limited participant in the first practice of the week on Tuesday, according to Chris Emma of 670 The Score. Odunze missed the final five games of the regular season with a stress fracture in his foot, but the Bears are hoping that he can return for the first round of the playoffs this Saturday night against the division-rival Green Bay Packers. The 23-year-old second-year wideout got off to a hot start with five touchdown catches in the first four games. However, he fizzled out eventually before heading to the sideline due to his foot injury. Odunze finished the regular season with 44 receptions for 661 yards and six touchdowns on 90 targets after posting a 54-734-3 line in 17 games as a rookie. If Odunze returns to face the Packers, he'll be pretty volatile for fantasy lineups given his lengthy absence and the emergence of rookie receiver Luther Burden III and rookie tight end Colston Loveland.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) has missed five consecutive games due to a stress fracture in his foot. The 23-year-old wideout was able to practice in a limited capacity on Friday ahead of Week 18's regular-season finale against the Lions, which signals some optimism for his status heading into the Wild-Card matchup versus the division-rival Green Bay Packers. Odunze has totalled 44 catches (90 targets) for 661 yards and six touchdowns in 12 games during his sophomore campaign. He was inconsistent after the team's Week 5 bye, however, recording three receptions or fewer in six of eight games with one touchdown. The emergence of rookies Luther Burden III and tight end Colston Loveland muddy the outlook for Odunze heading into the playoffs if he can return. With the game being played on a short week on Saturday, more clarity should emerge regarding Odunze's status in the next few days.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) is inactive for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the Detroit Lions. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. The second-year receiver will now miss his fifth consecutive game, but Sunday's absence could be precautionary as the Bears look for him to get healthy before the playoffs. Chicago has a chance to lock up the No. 2 seed in the NFC on Sunday afternoon. DJ Moore and Luther Burden III will operate as the top Bears receivers in his absence.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's Week 18 matchup versus the Detroit Lions. Odunze has been sidelined since Week 13, but he has a chance at playing in the regular-season finale. He missed the first two days of practice, but he was able to get through a limited session on Friday. He still seems like a long shot to suit up, given the Bears have little incentive to play Odunze at less than 100 percent health, and Chris Emma even mentions it seems more likely that he won't return until the playoffs next week. The Bears have already locked up the NFC North, so they're only playing for seeding right now. The absence of Odunze would mean increased looks for DJ Moore, Luther Burden III, and Olamide Zaccheaus.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) remained sidelined from his team's practice on Thursday as he battles a stress fracture in his foot. The 23-year-old has not played since Week 13, and it appears he could be trending towards missing a fifth straight game in Week 18 against the Detroit Lions. Across 12 games before getting injured, Odunze had recorded 44 catches for 661 yards and six touchdowns on 90 targets. In his absence, Bears rookie wideout Luther Burden III (quad) has emerged as a key contributor in the Chicago passing game. Veteran wide receiver DJ Moore has also seen his role increase, recording three of his six touchdown receptions this season in the last three weeks. The Bears have already locked up the NFC North crown and will be either the number two or number three seed in the NFC playoffs, so the team has little incentive to rush Odunze back for its regular-season finale.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) was listed as a non-participant for the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday. All signs are pointing to Odunze missing a fifth straight game for this weekend's Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Detroit Lions. The 23-year-old second-year wideout hasn't practiced or played since Dec. 12 due to a stress fracture in his foot. The Bears want to hold Odunze out through the end of the regular season in hopes that he'll be closer to full health for a playoff run. After a career day in Sunday night's loss to the San Francisco 49ers, rookie Luther Burden III came down with a quad injury, but he was limited on Wednesday. Olamide Zaccheaus also returned after missing Week 17 with an illness. With Odunze fully expected to sit out against Detroit in Week 18, Burden will be a popular DFS selection if he's active after he caught eight of nine targets for 138 yards and a touchdown against San Fran.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) has been ruled out of the team's Sunday Night matchup with the 49ers, his fourth consecutive missed game since popping up on the injury report following a Week 13 win over the Eagles. In his absence, the Bears have seen spike games from DJ Moore and Luther Burden III (ankle), who returned to a full practice on Friday and carries no injury designation into Sunday after missing a game of his own with an ankle injury. Both Moore and Burden, along with rookie tight end Colston Loveland, remain in play against a middle-of-the-pack 49ers defense that has been most vulnerable through the air.
