News: 2 days agoOdunze caught six of seven targets for 94 yards in Sunday's 23-12 win over the Jets.

Spin: Odunze led the Bears in receiving yards while finishing two targets shy of Colston Loveland's team-high total as Tyson Bagent threw for 268 yards. This was the first time Odunze exceeded 52 receiving yards in a game this season, as he showed nice chemistry with the third QB to start a game for the Bears this season. Odunze's outlook is unlikely to change significantly whether the Bears get Caleb Williams (hamstring) back or stick with Bagent for Week 5 at Green Bay.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Odunze opened the 2025 season with a bang, scoring five touchdowns in his first four games and producing 15-plus fantasy points in each game. Things fell apart from there, as the 2024 first-round pick went on to deliver one touchdown and two double-digit fantasy outings over his next eight games prior to missing Weeks 14 through 18 due to injury. On the plus side, Odunze remained heavily targeted throughout the season, especially near the goal line, and he is ninth in the NFL with 24 end zone targets since he was drafted. On the other hand, his connection with Caleb Williams needs work, as his 48% catch rate ranked near the basement at the position. Odunze, 24, is still ascending and has a clearer path to targets with DJ Moore out of the mix. He's a candidate for a Year 3 leap and should be valued as a WR3 with upside.
