Availability
Rome Odunze caught three of his four targets for 43 yards in the Bears' 9-3 Week 2 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
Fantasy Impact
Odunze has struggled to make an impact in a slow-starting Chicago passing attack to begin the season, finishing with three receptions or less in each of the first two games. The pass-catcher remains difficult to trust with the potential absence of quarterback Caleb Williams ahead of a Week 3 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Rome Odunze (calf) carries no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
Fantasy Impact
Odunze has been recovering from a calf injury for a while, but it seems that he is fully over it at this point, as he isn't listed on Chicago's injury report at all heading into Week 2. It's likely that his workload will ramp up this week after he was limited in the season opener, which should help him to produce a fantasy finish better than his underwhelming performance in Week 1.
Rome Odunze caught two of his three targets for 52 yards in the Bears' 59-37 Week 1 win over the Carolina Panthers
Fantasy Impact
Odunze made the most of minimal usage in the Chicago passing attack in the season opener, averaging 26.0 yards per reception in the win. the wideout provides head coach Ben Johnson with one of many dynamic pass-catching options ahead of a Week 2 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
Rome Odunze (calf) is officially active for Week 1 for the Chicago Bears against the Carolina Panthers.
Fantasy Impact
Odunze is good to go after passing through pregame testing without any setbacks from the calf injury, offering head coach Ben Johnson another dynamic pass-catching option for quarterback Caleb Williams against the Panthers Sunday.
Rome Odunze (calf) is expected to play against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
The Bears made several receiver moves on Saturday, bringing doubt to Odunze's status. However, it does look like the young receiver will play. He's worth starting, but temper expectations a little.
