Rome Odunze Set For Big Game Against Lions
Rome Odunze looks to rebound after an inefficient Week 1 performance. The second-year wideout caught six of nine targets for just 37 yards, though he salvaged his fantasy day with a late touchdown in Chicago's 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. While the box score wasn't impressive, Odunze's usage was extremely encouraging, as he led all Bears receivers in snaps (94%), route share (92%), and targets (9). That role should set him up well against a Detroit Lions defense that allowed the most receiving yards to wideouts in 2024. Odunze struggled in last year's meetings with Detroit, but rookie quarterback Caleb Williams and former Bears receiver Keenan Allen both found plenty of success against the Lions in those matchups. Heading into Week 2, Odunze profiles as a high-end WR3 with room for more if he and Williams can take advantage of Detroit's secondary.
