Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice session, according to the team's official website. Odunze last appeared on the injury report in Week 11 with an ankle injury, and it's been common for the second-year wideout to miss practice on Wednesdays this season as the team manages his workload. The 23-year-old hasn't missed a game this season, though, and he will likely be good to go for Sunday against the Packers, barring something unforeseen. Odunze's production has fallen off in recent weeks, as he's recorded three receptions or fewer in six of his last eight games with only one touchdown during that time. He projects as more of a WR3 for Week 14 against a tough Green Bay Packers defense, assuming he can suit up.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze has been very inconsistent and outright untrustworthy in recent weeks. Since the bye in Week 5, Odunze has had fewer than four receptions and 55 yards in five of his last seven games and has only caught one touchdown during that span. Odunze is averaging just 9.1 fantasy points per game since Week 6, on track to finish as the WR51 in that timeframe. The second-year receiver will look to bounce back against the Philadelphia Eagles, who have allowed the 10th most receiving yards in 2025. While Odunze still offers WR3 value in Week 13, without consistent usage in this Ben Johnson offense, Odunze will remain volatile in fantasy.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze has struggled to find consistency in recent weeks, putting up just two catches for 41 yards in Week 11's win over the Minnesota Vikings. The second-year receiver has been held to under three catches in four of his last six games, as the team has relied more on the run game. Odunze has also seen his snap count decrease in recent weeks, dropping from a snap share of 95% or more to under 80% in the previous two weeks. Odunze will look to bounce back in Week 12, against a Steelers defense that has allowed the most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season. The Steelers play a lot of man coverage as well (fourth-highest rate in the NFL), and Odunze has prospered against man coverage this season. In the three games Odunze has faced teams that play man coverage at a similar rate to the Steelers, he's scored over 20 PPR points in all three games. Odunze is set to bounce back in a big way in Week 12.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze has been fantastic in his second season in the NFL. In nine games, Odunze has hauled in 37 of 69 targets, for 559 yards and six touchdowns, ranking as the WR15 on a per-game basis. Despite going through a rough patch since the bye week, Odunze has strung together good outings, including last week, where he had 86 yards and a touchdown in less-than-ideal conditions. The weather will be a non-factor this week, as the Bears play in a dome for the first time since Week 2 (where Odunze had his best game of the season). The Vikings' defense has looked better as of late, but so has the Bears' offense, who currently rank seventh in the NFL in scoring offense. Odunze is a high-end WR2 in Week 11.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's Week 11 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Odunze missed Wednesday's practice due to a minor ankle issue. However, he was able to practice each of the next two days and has been cleared to play this weekend. Odunze bounced back last week with six receptions for 86 yards and a touchdown in the win over the New York Giants. He should offer high-end WR2 value for this upcoming matchup against the Vikings.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (ankle) upgraded to a limited practice on Thursday, according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN. Odunze has been dealing with an ankle injury since late October and hasn't been taking part in practices on Wednesdays. Now that the 23-year-old second-year wideout is back at practice on Thursday, he will most likely upgrade to full on Friday and be cleared to play in a Week 11 contest on the road against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. In the season-opening loss to Minnesota back on Sept. 8, Odunze caught six of his nine targets for 37 yards and his first touchdown of the year. He went on a four-game touchdown drought before returning to the end zone in last Sunday's win over the Giants, catching six of his 10 targets for 86 yards. Outside of a donut against the Bengals in Week 9, Odunze has been the Bears' most consistent WR, and he leads the team in catches (37), targets (69), receiving yards (559), and touchdowns (six).

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (ankle) was absent from Wednesday's practice session. Odunze has routinely opened the week with missed practices as the Bears manage his workload and practice reps. The second-year wideout bounced back in Week 10 against the Giants with one of his best games of the season despite weather conditions, catching six of 10 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown. It was positive to see Odunze get back to his productive ways after posting the first catchless game of his career in Week 9 against the Bengals. Odunze's status will be monitored as the week goes along, but he should be good to go for Week 11 against the Vikings.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze surprisingly put up a donut for his fantasy managers in the Week 9 comeback win over the Cincinnati Bengals in a game in which the Bears put up 40-plus points. The 23-year-old second-year pass-catcher rewarded fantasy managers who stuck with him in another comeback win for Chicago on Sunday over the New York Giants, as Odunze caught six of his 10 targets for a team-high 86 yards and a touchdown. Odunze also led the Bears in receptions and targets, and his sixth touchdown of the year was a two-yard hookup with quarterback Caleb Williams in the fourth quarter. The strong day was great to see for Odunze, who went quiet after scoring five times in the first four games of 2025. Consistency has not been Odunze's strong suit in his sophomore season, but he still leads Chicago in catches (37), receiving yards (559), and receiving touchdowns (six) through 10 weeks. The former first-rounder should be in all fantasy lineups in a potential Week 11 shootout against Minnesota.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze is looking to rebound after being held without a catch in Week 9, seeing just three targets and recording two drops in the 47-42 win over Cincinnati. The second-year wideout has now struggled in three of his last four games. He draws a favorable matchup against a Giants defense that allows the fourth-most fantasy points to wide receivers. However, forecasted 25+ mph winds in Chicago could limit the Bears' downfield passing, which is critical to Odunze's production. He carries clear Boom-or-Bust value in Week 10, dependent on how much Chicago chooses to push the ball vertically.

Chicago Bears second-year wide receiver Rome Odunze (ankle, heel) upgraded to a full practice on Friday and has been cleared to play this Sunday against the visiting New York Giants in Week 10, according to the team. Odunze played through a heel in last week's win over the Cincinnati Bengals and added an ankle injury on Sunday. The 23-year-old did not practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday before upgrading to full practice on Friday. It's good news that he won't be missing this weekend's tilt, but fantasy managers have to be a little concerned that Odunze didn't have a single catch last week despite the team putting up 47 points against a porous Bengals defense. Despite the donut in Week 9, fantasy managers should have Odunze in their starting lineups this weekend, as he's tied for the team lead in targets (31) and leads the Bears in receptions (59), receiving yards (473), and touchdowns (five) in eight games this year.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (ankle/heel) practiced in a limited capacity on Thursday after being held out on Wednesday, per The Athletic's Kevin Fishbain. Odunze followed a similar practice pattern last week and was able to play in Week 9, so he appears to be trending toward playing in Week 10 against the New York Giants. The 23-year-old is coming off his worst game of the season against the Cincinnati Bengals, as he was held without a reception on three targets. Odunze has been much better for the season overall, recording 31 catches for 473 yards and five touchdowns on 59 targets across eight games. Assuming he's cleared to play, Odunze profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 10 against the Giants.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (ankle, heel) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice. Odunze was a DNP in practice to open last week as well, before eventually clearing the report by Friday ahead of their Week 9 matchup against the Bengals. Odunze was joined by fellow wideout D.J. Moore (hip, groin), who also sat out Wednesday's practice. The 23-year-old had the first catchless game of his career in Week 9, recording zero catches on just three targets in a dream matchup against a poor Cincinnati defense. Chicago racked up a whopping 576 yards and scored 47 points, but Odunze was not a part of their monster scoring outburst. He'll look to bounce back in Week 10 against the Giants if he's able to clear the injury report.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze has enjoyed a breakout sophomore season under first-year head coach Ben Johnson, recording 31 receptions for 473 yards and five touchdowns on 56 targets in seven games. The 23-year-old leads the team with a 25.5% target share and has built a solid rapport with fellow second-year quarterback Caleb Williams. Odunze is coming off his best game since Week 3 against the Cowboys, catching seven of 10 targets for 114 yards in Week 8 at Baltimore, the fourth 100-yard game of his career. The 2024 first-rounder is again set up to reward fantasy managers with a beautiful matchup on deck against Cincinnati. Odunze ranks as RotoBaller's WR9 in PPR formats for Week 9.
