Yahoo Sports NFL on Rome Odunze
From the article
Odunze topped 52 yards only once in the first six weeks, while the Bears' passing attack struggled to find its rhythm with Caleb Williams missing three games. After scoring six times in 12 outings last year, Odunze has yet to find the end zone through eight weeks. His 44 targets without a TD are the second most behind only KC Concepcion. Fortunately, with Williams back under center, Odunze is heating up. The 24-year-old posted 69 yards against the Patriots in Week 7 and 87 yards in a tough matchup with the Seahawks on Monday night. The Bears are 6.5-point favorites this week with a strong implied point total of 27.
STACKED’s take
Odunze projected for 90 yards and first TD with Williams back and favorable matchup.
Justin Boone predicts Odunze posts 90 yards and his first touchdown of the season in Week 9. Odunze topped 52 yards only once in the first six weeks while the Bears' passing attack struggled with Caleb Williams out three games, leaving him as WR53 in fantasy points per game. However, he ranks 20th in receiving yards and 32nd in receptions among receivers. His main issue is lack of touchdowns: after six TDs in 12 games last year, he has zero through eight weeks despite 44 targets (second-most without a TD). With Williams back, Odunze is heating up, posting 69 yards in Week 7 and 87 yards against Seattle on Monday. The Bears are 6.5-point favorites with a 27-point implied total. Though Tampa Bay allows the seventh-fewest fantasy points to wideouts, they've allowed five different receivers to top 85 yards in the last month.
