Rome Odunze drops to WR2 on the Bears depth chart

Fantasy football: Odunze moves down a rung after Week 9 but his snap and target shares over the last three games keep him a WR3 with upside in deeper formats.

By Fantasy Roundup Staff · November 10, 2026 · Updated November 10, 2026

Rome Odunze was moved from WR1 to WR2 on the Bears depth chart on Nov 9, one day after catching four of seven targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Week 9 against Tampa Bay. The change comes despite Odunze playing 84 per cent of snaps in that contest and averaging 89 per cent over his last three games.

The Bears are on bye in Week 10, so Odunze's next opportunity comes in Week 11 against New Orleans. The demotion raises questions about his target volume going forward, but his recent usage and the 18 per cent target share over his last three games suggest he remains a WR3 option with touchdown upside in deeper leagues.

Rome Odunze

Odunze was WR1 on the depth chart before the change on Nov 9 and is now WR2. Over his last three games he has averaged 89 per cent of snaps, an 18 per cent target share, 6.0 targets a game and 11.2 half-PPR points a game, well above his season average of 8.1 half-PPR points a game. In Week 9 against Tampa Bay, Luther Burden III drew nine targets to Odunze's seven whilst playing only 56 per cent of snaps, and Kalif Raymond also drew seven targets on 70 per cent of snaps.

Odunze is scoring about what his usage predicts over his last three games, 0.2 half-PPR points a game above expected (64th of 183 receivers), so his points match his role. Our models rank him 33rd of 198 receivers with a Roundup Score of 59 out of 99, projecting 7.7 half-PPR points a game. His weighted opportunity rating of 0.49 ranks 39th of 189 receivers and his 31 per cent air yards share ranks 29th, showing he remains involved in the passing game despite the chart move. He is a hold as a WR3 with touchdown upside.

What to do

• Hold Odunze as a WR3 option in deeper formats despite the depth chart demotion, as his snap and target shares remain strong.

• Monitor how the Bears distribute targets when they return from bye in Week 11, particularly between Odunze, Luther Burden III and Kalif Raymond.

• Consider Odunze a flex play in 12-team leagues with touchdown potential but understand his target volume may be less secure than his playing time.
