Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) has delivered frustrating results over the last 14 weeks. Between missing time due to injury and struggling to emerge as a top receiving threat, Odunze has been a letdown for fantasy managers who were originally intrigued about his upside. After all, it was hard not to be excited after he opened the season with 20 catches, 296 yards, and five touchdowns through his first four games. The second-year receiver is certainly talented, and his upside remains high going forward. However, managers and bettors will find it challenging to trust him during the Divisional Round of the playoffs on Sunday, especially after he posted a modest line of two catches and 44 yards in the Wild Card Round. Odunze plays in a crowded offense that features Colston Loveland, DJ Moore, and Luther Burden III, all of whom have established themselves as more reliable options. It also doesn't help that Odunze is going up against the Rams, who ranked near the middle of the league in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers but had the 10th-best defense in terms of scoring. Finally, Odunze is banged up coming into this game. He is listed as questionable but expected to play. As it stands, he ranks as the overall WR10 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings for the Divisional Round.--Andersen Pickard
