The Chicago Bears will host the New York Giants in Week 10. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Rome Odunze.
Is Odunze Playing in Week 10?
Odunze is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Bears’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Odunze in Week 10?
Prior to last week, Rome Odunze was averaging 2.8 receiving yards for every point the Bears put on the board. He had five top-20 performances and scored at least 10% over expectations in four of his previous six games.
So, a goose egg in a spot in which the Bears put 47 points on the board was surprising.
I’m going to largely ignore that speed bump, but it is worth noting that he’s been held under 35 receiving yards in three of four games following the early bye, and the offense as a whole hasn’t missed a beat.
This is part of the Ben Johnson experience. He’s got the Odunze motor running smoothly early in the season, then was D’Andre Swift, and now he might be working toward unlocking Colston Loveland.
We might get a few more down games, but I expect more good than bad the rest of the way. If Caleb Williams puts an end zone target on his chest last week instead of behind him, the fantasy production looks better, and you’re probably not sweating in the same way.
I was encouraged by Odunze popping up in some big blocking spots last week to spur chunk gains. He’s engaged, and this team seems to be buying in: sit tight, we will get back to the top 15 production that you came to expect after the explosive September.
