Outlook: Allen shook off an injury plagued 2022 to dominate his 11th NFL season. In only 13 games he set career highs in receptions and yardage, and had his finest fantasy season since 2017. He was downright unstoppable in Weeks 3 (18 receptions), and 10-12 (35 receptions for almost 400 yards), showing he still has the ability to carry a passing game. As he enters his age 32 season, he moves on to Chicago, the first time he's played home games outside of Southern California. With the Bears he'll be breaking in a talented, but likely inconsistent quarterback, as well as competing with an accomplished vet and dynamic rookie for targets. Allen has been the alpha his entire career, but this offense doesn't force the ball to any one guy. Allen is going to have to deal with a diminished role. Throw in the fact that he's missed 10 games the last two years, and I'd be hard pressed to rely on him as anything more than a low end WR3.

Outlook: With just 25 career receptions, the former 1st rounder hasn't exactly been much of a fantasy asset thus far, but that is poised to change in 2024. Not eligible to play until Week 5 last season because of a gambling suspension, Williams was scarcely deployed from then on. Not only did he join a team on a roll, but there were rumblings that Williams wasn't mentally prepared to contribute more than a handful of specially designed plays. Those plays were typically simple bombs (unlike St. Brown his ADOT was 15.8) or runs. When he did touch the ball, it quickly became obvious why he was the 12th overall selection, as his straight-line speed is absolutely lethal. He popped off the screen with two long touchdowns on just three touches in the NFC title game, and has set the stage for a career year.

After heavy criticism from the coaching staff early in his career, he's had glowing reviews about his work ethic and dedication this off-season. Another year in the offense should open up more opportunities, and with little on the receiver depth chart behind him, Williams should easily surpass the 24 receptions from a year ago. The issue remains that his main role is one of vertical threat, as St. Brown, LaPorta, and Gibbs will soak up all of the short to intermediate routes. Barring a seismic shift in deployment, Williams will likely slot in as a boom/bust WR3 for fantasy purposes.

Outlook: For professional growth purposes Odunze walks into the perfect situation. He will get to learn from two elite vets, gets to develop alongside his rookie QB teammate, and won't face any pressure to carry the passing game as he should always get the best matchups on defense. Odunze was a dominate college receiver, and the 9th overall pick, so don't look for the Bears to totally exclude him, but in reality, he'll start the season as at best, the No.3 option in the passing game. His floor should be Jaxon Smith-Njigba's season from a year ago, putting him squarely in WR4/5 range. If Allen or Moore were to get hurt, Odunze could certainly pop off, and for my money his upside makes him a much better season-long add than the aging Allen.
