Paired with Williams in Windy City
The Bears selected Odunze in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, ninth overall.
ANALYSIS
Chicago has changed the outlook of its entire offense in the first 10 picks of the draft by scooping quarterback Caleb Williams with the first pick and pairing him with a top-flight receiver in Odunze. The Washington product, and top target of Michael Penix, sports a great combination of on-field production and athletic measurables. Odunze racked up 24 touchdowns in the last three seasons along with two 1,000-yard seasons. At the combine, he checked in at 6-foot-3 and 212 pounds with 4.45 speed. He has the long speed to win downfield, the size to make contested catches, and the route-running ability to be deployed at any level of the field. For fantasy, he joins a crowded receiver group that already features DJ Moore and Keenan Allen. However, there's still room for Odunze to produce as a rookie thanks to his talent and versatility.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be target for Bills in draft
The Athletic's final mock of the 2024 NFL Draft has the Bills trading up to seventh overall to draft Odunze.
ANALYSIS
Though an admittedly unlikely outcome, landing in Buffalo would be the best-case scenario for Odunze, as he would get a chance to immediately become the top wide receiver for quarterback Josh Allen after the Bills traded Stefon Diggs and lost Gabe Davis in free agency. The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia has Buffalo trading picks 28, 60, 133, 160 and a 2025 first-round pick to Tennessee for picks seven and 106 in order to snag Odunze. The wide receiver out of Washington has been projected as a top-10 selection in the majority of mock drafts ahead of Thursday's first round.
