Worse, he dropped one of Caleb Williams' few great throws on the day, a rocket over the middle on second down that would have been a touchdown. It thudded harmlessly away after catching part of Odunze's helmet. Odunze did not follow up last week's two-touchdown breakout with real success and is now three weeks removed from his last 10-target game. He's a viable FLEX play, but is down the pecking order compared to Keenan Allen and D.J. Moore.
Wide receivers Rome Odunze and Malik Nabers were among the first-round standouts in Week 14 of the 2024 NFL season.
Odunze failed to earn a single target in the first half but made up for lost time in the second, securing both of Caleb Williams' Week 14 touchdowns. The full-game results fail to inspire but Williams' decision to turn to Odunze while in come-back mode could pay off down the stretch. Odunze is an intriguing flex option against the Vikings in Week 15.
Odunze caught four of five targets for 42 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-13 loss to the 49ers.
Bears WR Rome Odunze found the end zone twice in the second half catching four of five tagrtes for 42 yards. The entire Bears offense struggled with much of their scoring coming in a catch up attempt in the second half.
