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.

Ben Johnson set to become Bears HC
Oversaw top-five offense in his three years as Detroit OC
By: Doug Orth | Mon Jan 20, 5:00 pm
|  | Bear down: Chicago is finalizing a deal to hire Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as its next head coach, sources tell ESPN. Bears are getting their man. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: The Bears have only had two offensive-minded head coaches since Mike Ditka was fired following the 1992 season and both of those hires - Marc Trestman and Matt Nagy - worked out poorly. It is hard to imagine Johnson going down that same road. Not only has he established himself as one of the most creative offensive minds in the league, but he will begin his Chicago tenure with a blue-chip quarterback prospect (Caleb Williams) and at least two stud receivers (D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze). Williams, in particular, should enjoy the creativity and consistency Johnson will bring to the team. Do not be surprised if Williams is a low-end fantasy QB1 as soon as next year.
