Fantasy Football Player Notes

Rome Odunze's second season was a tale of two halves, as injuries and poor catchable targets derailed what started as a breakout campaign. Before Week 9, he ranked top-10 in WR fantasy points per game while dominating high-value usage, leading the Bears in targets, red-zone looks, and air yards share. The concerns are real with Colston Loveland and Luther Burden taking larger roles in Year 2 but Chicago also lost significant WR volume and touchdown production entering 2026 with the departure of DJ Moore. Odunze remains a strong positive regression candidate tied to Caleb Williams, especially if the Bears' passing game takes another step forward under HC Ben Johnson.
