Rome Odunze - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Quiet day despite QB's success Odunze brought in three of four targets for 39 yards in the Bears' 31-23 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Impact Odunze was third in receiving yards for the Bears on the afternoon, but considering Caleb Williams recorded 30 completions for 305 yards, the wideout's numbers were modest. Odunze has three or fewer catches in all but one game to date in 2026, and his spotty efficiency can sometimes be a hindrance to him maximizing his fantasy potential. Odunze will look to build on his numbers in a Week 7 home matchup against a talented Patriots secondary Thursday night.

NFL Best And Worst: From 49ers-Seahawks Thriller To Giants-Commanders Blunder

Three catches in Week 5 loss Odunze brought in three of nine targets for 40 yards in the Bears' 31-7 loss to the Packers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Impact Odunze finished second in receiving yards with a team-high target total, and he endured an inefficient afternoon overall while working with Tyson Bagent as his quarterback for a second straight game. Odunze did take two of his receptions for first downs, and he extended his season-opening streak of recording at least one catch of 20-plus yards. The talented deep threat will look for a higher catch rate and better ball security in a Week 6 road matchup against the Falcons that could mark the return of Caleb Williams from his hamstring injury.

OCTOBER 4 • BEARGOGGLESON.COM

Season-best game with Bagent Odunze caught six of seven targets for 94 yards in Sunday's 23-12 win over the Jets.

Impact Odunze led the Bears in receiving yards while finishing two targets shy of Colston Loveland's team-high total as Tyson Bagent threw for 268 yards. This was the first time Odunze exceeded 52 receiving yards in a game this season, as he showed nice chemistry with the third QB to start a game for the Bears this season. Odunze's outlook is unlikely to change significantly whether the Bears get Caleb Williams (hamstring) back or stick with Bagent for Week 5 at Green Bay.

Three more catches in win Odunze secured three of six targets for 44 yards in the Bears' 27-7 win over the Eagles on Monday night.

Impact Odunze was relegated to a complementary role in the 20-point victory, finishing fourth in receptions and third in both receiving yards and targets for the Bears on the night. While Odunze entered the season as the presumptive No. 1 receiver, veteran offseason addition Kalif Raymond, who had familiarity with head coach Ben Johnson's scheme from their mutual time with the Lions, has enjoyed an expanded role over the first three games while gathering in an impressive 19 of 21 targets. Conversely, Odunze is averaging a career-best 17.4 yards per reception but has a modest eight catches and no touchdowns through three games, numbers he'll look to given a significant boost to during a Week 4 home matchup against the Jets on Sunday.

The Bears Are A Two-Faced Squad; Despite Win, Patriots QB Drake Maye Is Regressing

Three grabs in Sunday's loss Odunze caught three of four targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Vikings.

Impact The 2024 first-round pick led all Bears wideouts in receiving yards on a wet and windy day at Soldier Field. Odunze has had a slow start to the season, managing just a 5-95-0 line on seven targets through two games, and his outlook in the short term won't be improved if the hamstring injury that knocked Caleb Williams out of Sunday's contest proves to be serious. Odunze could be catching passes from Tyson Bagent instead in a Week 3 home tilt against the Eagles.
