Rome Odunze was on his way to a breakout season before he sustained a foot fracture. In Weeks 1-12, he was the WR21 in fantasy points per game despite dealing with a 68.3% catchable target rate (96th out of 127 qualifying receivers). Foot injuries always scare me, and Odunze has talked openly this offseason about the "new normal" of playing, planting, and running on his foot.

Odunze's foot injury recovery creates uncertainty despite pre-injury breakout pace.

Odunze was on his way to a breakout season before sustaining a foot fracture. In Weeks 1-12, he was WR21 in fantasy points per game despite dealing with a 68.3% catchable target rate (96th out of 127 qualifying receivers). During that stretch, he ranked 21st in target share (22.4%), 20th in receiving yards per game (59.4), 27th in yards per route run (1.95), 25th in first-read share (27.2%), and 16th in first-downs per route run (0.107). The source notes that foot injuries always scare them, and Odunze has talked openly this offseason about the "new normal" of playing, planting, and running on his foot. Odunze is healthy to open the season, but the source hopes it stays that way so he can flourish in 2026.
