I got a feeling this year that Rome Odunze is going to lead the bears in yards and/or TDs.

That’s really not too far fetched. It sounds crazier than it is. I said this in another thread, he is a great handcuff. And rookie to rookie is pretty common.

He’s a match up nightmare and he will probably start the season going up against other teams third best corner.

Only thing is that he will not outshine the other 2 as long as he is the #3. Kind of common sense there. If he blows up then chances are he will no longer be the #3

Rookie to rookie is a thing, you're dead on right. But 99% of the time there isn't two perennial all pros in front of said rookie.

Sure. But he is only one injury away, and it’s not like Keenan Allen never gets hurt.

If he can be serviceable as the wr3. He can blow up as the 2 with an injury. Or even pass one of the other 2 on the depth chart.

Anyone that wants to take credit on a prediction that comes to pass based off an injury is a putz.

Could he pass one up? sure, stranger things have happened is it at all likely or probable? absolutely not

First off despite this being a fantasy football board thread. I was commenting in terms to beengay saying that he will be the highest scoring wr. So we are not focused on when to start him.

But with 17 games it is almost certain that Moore and or Allen will miss multiple games between each other. Of course with that logic it is very likely he will miss a game as well.

So again. If he is serviceable when he is the three, with a couple games where he out plays at least one of the big 2. And he plays as the one or 2 in a few games. He very well might have a better season than one of the other 2. Don’t think that is too far fetched at all.

And again, if he goes off then he very well might pass one of the other 2 in the depth chart.

Never said this was probable. Just said there is a path.

And with his talent, it’s not like we are playing only the “what if” game.

Assumed talent. Kevin White, Laquan Treadwell, N'Keal Harry, John Ross, Corey Coleman, Josh Doctson, Tavon Austin, and on and on and on, all had that same assumption at this point in their careers.

It's one thing to claim a rookie WR will lead their team in targets and receptions and yards or whatever, when the team is otherwise devoid of playmakers at his position, its entirely another to assume based on zero evidence at this level that there's a realistic possibility of supplanting either of two elite, or nearly elite, level WR's with 10 1000 yd seasons, nearly 90 scores, 1300+ receptions, and 6 pro bowls between them.

now, if the kid has a 7-10 catch 150+ yard game week 1, we can revisit that discussion. At this point it's just dumb to say

I dont see Odunze having a good year.

Besides the fact that you have Moore and Allen ahead of him, he'll also have Kmet and Swift to battle for targets.

Not to mention the Bears hit the reset button at QB and OC. Both are promising, but both have their critics/red flags.

In fantasy, we gravitate to players that are the alpha on the team. Teams that spread the ball around are a fantasy nightmare. Could be the case here in CHI.

Will it matter? for a redraft standard, not really no. In a PPR, whomever that 'lead' WR is will likely garner enough points to be a viable flex play any given week, at minimum a guy who can be an option.
Drake Maye was many draftnik's #1 choice when asked to pick a bust out of the 'big 6' QB class, and thus far he's provided nothing to argue against that in rookie camp, mini camps, etc.. Jacoby Brissett is likely to start, and while he's very nice, he's not exactly going to elevate those around him. He doesn't have a an Amari Cooper or a Terry McLaurin to carry him to decent numbers in NE. But it'll be good enough to resemble a respectable NFL offense, unlike the previous OC's who destroyed the careers of at least 2 QB's by not even having an NFL offense in place, let alone executed.

As to who it is, DeMario Douglas, hands down for me. He will be the volume receiver in an offense that has no vertical presence.

again... i never said it will happen... i agree it is not probable... but there is a clear path for it to be possible... i would probably give it higher than a 10% chance... wouldnt say that about most number 2s in the NFL... and he is a number 3....
