Positive signalBreakout

Odunze's third-season timing and QB regression potential support top-12 breakout case.

Odunze was his team's WR1 before a foot injury derailed a real breakout season last year, having been a top-nine receiver in points per game through the first nine weeks. His quarterback's own accuracy issues on downfield throws have suppressed his catch rate over the last two seasons, and real positive regression is possible there entering year two together. His team's poor defense should force a shootout-heavy offense all season, and history shows a receiver's third season is the single most common year for a first-ever top-12 finish. With a more hyped teammate dealing with a groin injury through the preseason, there's a real path for Odunze to open the season as this offense's clear top receiver, and at the specific point of his own injury last year, his target rate on a per-route basis was already identical to that more hyped teammate's rate, despite a real gap in how the two are currently valued.
