I mean I have him ranked as like my 61st ranked player. I just don't have him ahead of Luther Burden and Colson Loveland cuz they're really talented upside plays... like Odunze is the same small sample merchant. He has a eight-game stretch... Outside of that, his first year he was terrible... Odunze is going to post up at X, which like X receiver is fine. But it just not might not be that conducive as conducive to fantasy as Burden.
STACKED’s take
Ranked 61st; small-sample concern but upside if Ben Johnson scheme clicks.
The source ranks Rome Odunze 61st overall but does not rank him ahead of Luther Burden and Colson Loveland due to their superior upside potential. The source criticizes Odunze as a 'small sample merchant' similar to Burden, noting his strong eight-game stretch outside of which his first year was terrible; his yards per route run and targets per route run for the entire class are not very good. Odunze is expected to post up at X receiver, which is fine for fantasy but may not be as conducive to fantasy production as Burden's Z flanker slot role. However, under Ben Johnson's offensive scheme—similar to his Lions tenure where Amon-Ra St. Brown, Sam LaPorta, and Jameson Williams all produced at high levels—Odunze could be part of a two top-24 receivers and top-three tight end scenario; the Bears' running backs aren't at Gibbs-Montgomery level, so they won't cannibalize goal-line and close opportunities.
