Rome OdunzeWRCHI
Odunze's role shifted dramatically in Weeks 9-13 as he played through a foot injury and Luther Burden emerged. His in-route percentage dropped from 16% (Weeks 1-8) to 11.1% (Weeks 9-13), while go-route percentage spiked from 12.2% to 21.1%. This coincided with Ben Johnson's scheme shifting designed/schemed looks toward Burden and Loveland. Additionally, Odunze was seeing downfield usage (averaging over 100 air yards per game) but Caleb Williams completed just 39% of his deep passes, resulting in Odunze's overall catchable target rate of just 59% (12th-lowest among WRs with 150+ routes) and leading the NFL in inaccurate targets (21) during his active weeks.
