Fantasy Football League-Winning Wide Receivers to Target
Rome Odunze (CHI)
“You know Rome Odunze — the 9th overall pick of the 2024 draft — isn’t short on talent. Now, with a year alongside Caleb Williams and a major schematic upgrade from HC Ben Johnson, a breakout season looks possible. We’ll see how much rookies Colston Loveland and Luther Burden factor in, but injury situations limited the impact of both guys this offseason.”
– Kevin English (Draft Sharks)
“Rome Odunze will be a steal at his current WR37 valuation. Going into his second year in an offense that was broken in 2024, Odunze has the chance to hit the reset button with new HC Ben Johnson now calling the plays. Caleb Williams will be better in 2025, and Odunze will be a part of that. Odunze has 1,000-yard upside written all over him, and that’s at the cost of drafting him as a WR4. Fantasy managers should be all over that in drafts.”
– Ed Birdsall (Talking Points Sports)
“Rome Odunze is going to take a giant leap this year and help teams reach their championship dreams! He is currently ranked WR37/83 overall and by the end of the year will be in the discussion as a fringe WR1, if not in the WR1 category. Gone are the days of the abysmal Chicago Bears offense, thanks to the hiring of the offensive genius from Detroit, Ben Johnson. The Bears’ offense, led by Caleb Williams and their top receiver, Odunze, will benefit from the regime change and be discussed as one of the top offenses in the league. Odunze will easily reach 1,100 yards and 8-10 touchdowns, which will reward teams who drafted him as a WR4 or FLEX play.”

Stefon Diggs (NE)
“Stefon Diggs is recovering from a torn ACL he suffered last year. Normally, I’d steer clear of players coming back from reconstructive knee surgery, but the word on the street is that Diggs is ahead of his recovery timeline. Diggs is in a better situation, too. He left Houston and is now the top target in New England. If Diggs can stay in head coach Mike Vrabel’s good graces (aka not be an off-the-field distraction), and his knee continues to improve, he’s a bargain with his current ADP at WR 40.”
– Mark Ringo (Sleepers and Busts)
Emeka Egbuka (TB)
“Let’s keep the beat going for Emeka Egbuka. Over the last few seasons, the clearest path to league-winning upside is taking the value on a first-round receiver who is attached to a good offense. Everything out of camp has been incredibly positive about Egbuka. One of the most notable takeaways from camps is when veteran players answer questions with an irrelevant tangent, hyping up a rookie. That’s exactly what Baker Mayfield has done to rave about the Bucs’ new receiver. Ebuka is a true NFL-ready prospect with the fundamentals to be a star, much like Ladd McConkey last year. It’s not the flashiest skillset, but buckle up for him to quickly become a favourite target of Baker’s.”
