2024 Season Outlooks

The Bears selected Odunze with the No. 9 overall pick in the NFL Draft, and he should be a key part of Chicago's offense this season. We like Odunze with a mid-round pick in all redraft leagues, and he's worth drafting as a top-five overall pick in rookie-only drafts for Dynasty leagues. The Bears have a crowded receiving corps with Odunze, D.J. Moore and Keenan Allen, and Odunze should open the season as the No. 3 option behind the veterans. But Odunze could emerge as the go-to option for fellow rookie Caleb Williams, and Odunze has plenty of upside in his rookie campaign. He was a star in college at Washington, and in 2023 he had 92 catches for 1,640 yards and 13 touchdowns. We'll see how quickly he adapts to the NFL and establishes a rapport with Williams, but plan on Odunze being a No. 3 Fantasy receiver to open the season with the chance to be a top-20 option by the end of the year if things go right.

Odunze joins the Bears as the ninth overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft. He's a big (6-foot-3, 212 pounds), physical receiver who knows how to use his size and body when making contested catches. He's the real deal and his numbers during his final season at Washington show that (92-1,640-13). Odunze has the makeup of a star in this league, but in 2024 he'll be third in line for targets behind DJ Moore and Keenan Allen. Add in a rookie QB to the mix and a run-heavy scheme and we're looking at a WR4/5 with upside.
