BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: The tape suggests that Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze is getting open often. The problem is that basically everything else about the passing attack has been terrible. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams has played miserably, the offensive line is banged up, and a change in offensive coordinators has shaken up the team.
Rome Odunze in the first game without Keenan Allen (heel, personal):
* 89-of-90 snaps
* 54 wide, 35 slot
* 55 routes on 56 Caleb dropbacks
* 11 targets for a 21% share

Odunze is not the problem, but the offense overall is the problem with his fantasy production. When the Bears face poor pass defenses, like the Indianapolis Colts and the Jacksonville Jaguars units, they can produce pretty well. If not... it's an unmitigated disaster.
Chicago faces the Green Bay Packers in Week 11, who are not a soft secondary that can be easily abused. In addition, GB features a pretty solid pass rush unit. Expect Williams to be under duress often, and it could lead to bad results. No. 15 has just two games with double-digit PPR points this season, and has eclipsed 41 receiving yards just twice.
Maybe the team will fire everyone and hire current Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson for next season. That might fix things.
