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.

Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze are gametime decisions Odunze was limited on Friday By: Mike Krueger | Fri Sep 13, 2:36 pm
| | Bears are "going to take it all the way up to the game" to see whether Rome Odunze and Keenan Allen are going to play vs. Houston per Matt Eberflus. (Courtney Cronin on X)
FFToday's Take: The Bears could be without two of their starting receivers Sunday night against the Texans. Allen (heel) missed practice all week while Odunze (knee) got in a limited session on Friday. The Bears passing offense was non-existent in Week 1 as Caleb Williams threw for 93 yards against the Titans.
| Rome Odunze to miss time with knee injury Sprained MCL By: Doug Orth | Mon Sep 9, 9:30 pm
| | Bears first-round pick Rome Odunze sprained his MCL and will be considered week to week, per source. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: Odunze becomes the second prominent player to be sidelined by a sprained MCL this week, joining Jordan Love. The rookie logged plenty of snaps in his debut but did not factor heavily into the outcome of the team's win over the Titans. His absence figures to open up more of the target pie for D.J. Moore and Keenan Allen and should allow Cole Kmet to see a few more targets as well.
