Commanders QB Jayden Daniels' Hail Mary throw a first by a rookie in 25 years

The play of Week 8 was the first of its kind since 1999. Here are the details, plus a look at the rookie receiver upstaging the top picks.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels' Hail Mary throw a first by a rookie in 25 years
Leading receiver in loss Odunze recorded three receptions on six targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 18-15 loss to the Commanders. He added two rushes for 13 yards.
Impact Odunze ended with a modest stat line, but his ability to command opportunity stood out. Caleb Williams attempted only 24 passes in the low-scoring affair, which led to Odunze finishing second on the team in targets -- Keenan Allen earned seven -- while leading the way in receptions and yards. The Bears also made a point to get Odunze involved in the offense with two rushing attempts, another indication that he could see an expanded role throughout the second half of the season.

How Jaguars rookie Brian Thomas Jr. has become a dangerous WR1 so quickly

Brian Thomas Jr. has arguably been the NFL's best rookie wide receiver this season. His dominant play only starts with his breakaway speed.

OCTOBER 16, 2024 • CHICAGOBEARS.COM
Solid yardage total in victory Odunze caught two passes for 40 yards in the Bears' 35-16 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
Impact In a game that Caleb Williams spread the ball around to his top-five options, there wasn't enough volume for Odunze to have a big performance. Other than a 112-yard performance in Week 3, the rookie has yet to have more than 40 yards in a game. He's settling in as a low-upside offense based on lack of consistent target volume.

HIGHLIGHT: Caleb Williams' 28-yard fastball to Rome Odunze gets Bears to midfield Bears quarterback Caleb Williams' finds receiver Rome Odunze for a 28-yard gain.
OCTOBER 13, 2024 • CHICAGOBEARS.COM
Five catches in Week 5 win Odunze caught five of six targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 36-10 win over the Panthers.
Impact Odunze tied Keenan Allen for second on the team in targets, but DJ Moore continued to work as the clear leader in Chicago's passing game, turning his team-high eight targets into 105 yards and two touchdowns. Of Odunze's 206 receiving yards through five games, 112 came in a Week 3 outburst while Allen was sidelined by a heel injury. The rookie first-round pick's speed could give Jacksonville's struggling secondary trouble in Week 6, but Odunze has a low floor while battling Moore and Allen for targets.
OCTOBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Limited to one catch Sunday Odunze secured one of three targets for 10 yards in the Bears' 24-18 win over the Rams on Sunday.
Impact The rookie shifted back to a No. 3 role with Keenan Allen returning from a two-game absence due to a heel injury, and he saw a major downturn in production as a result. Odunze's target and yardage totals were his lowest yet through four games, so he'll have plenty of room for improvement in a Week 5 home matchup against the Panthers.
SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Cleared to face Rams Odunze (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Impact Odunze was a full practice participant Friday, after the Bears added him to their injury report Thursday as a limited participant. He's emerged as the top downfield target in Chicago -- coming off a 6-112-1 receiving line and league-high 235 air yards Week 3 against the Colts -- but Odunze's volume projection will get a modest bump downward if Keenan Allen (hip - questionable) ends up playing Sunday after progressing to full practice participation Friday.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2024 • CHICAGOBEARS.COM
Tending to hip issue Odunze practiced in a limited capacity Thursday due to a hip injury.
Impact Odunze is a midweek addition to the Bears' Week 4 practice report, but the current issue differs from the MCL sprain that he suffered in the season opener and impacted his practice reps during Weeks 2 and 3. He was able to tough out the injury the last two games while Keenan Allen (heel) was sidelined, combining for eight catches (on 16 targets) for 145 yards and one touchdown during that span. Allen has cobbled together back-to-back capped sessions this week, so their respective listings on Friday's report will be one to monitor in advance of Sunday's contest against the Rams.

Leading receiver in loss Odunze caught six of 11 targets for 112 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Colts.
Impact He added two rushing yards on one carry. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams threw his first two career TDs, and his fellow 2024 draftee Odunze was on the other end of the first one, a one-yard strike in the fourth quarter. The wideout's 11 targets were more than he saw in the first two games combined, and Odunze's role in the Chicago offense -- and his chemistry with Williams -- continues to grow ahead of a Week 4 clash with the Rams.
