The Chicago Bears will travel to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13. 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 Rome Odunze Playing in Week 13?
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 13?
This offense is slowly developing into the well-rounded unit that we thought it would be for the jump, and that’s killing the weekly viability of their WR1 in Odunze.
Over his past seven games, after four straight with 15+ point efforts to open the season, he has five single-digit performances and two games over 18.
The thought process behind Odunze is one I’m hanging tough with as a lower-end WR2 this week. The 15 targets he’s earned over the past two weeks are something I trust more than the lack of production from them, and DJ Moore’s 25-yard score last week was opened up by the attention being paid on the perimeter to Odunze.
It’s been a grind lately, but the Bears’ offense seems to be taking shape, and as defenses feel threatened in various ways, I like the odds of the pendulum swinging more in our favor with time.
As it stands right now, I have him and DeVonta Smith sharing not only a field, but a tier in my Week 13 rankings, along with the falling star of the past month in Justin Jefferson (at SEA).
