Outlook Rome Odunze
Primed for a Year 3 Breakout in an Evolving Bears Offense
Entering his third NFL season, Rome Odunze is positioned as Chicago's primary outside weapon in an evolving passing attack designed to maximize his skillset. After posting 758 receiving yards and six touchdowns across 14 games last season, Odunze enters the year fully healthy after putting lingering foot concerns to rest in camp.
Our projections forecast a substantial leap forward, calling for 68 receptions, 975 yards, and eight touchdowns on 125 targets (211.0 fantasy points). His established chemistry with quarterback Caleb Williams should yield expanded red-zone volume and weekly WR2 production in PPR formats.
Odunze's ADP has cooled from pick 61 in early August down to around pick 88, creating a prime draft-day value. With his start rate surging past 70% and a clear path to high target volume, he represents a high-upside investment at a discounted mid-round price tag.

Outlook Troy Franklin
Crowded Depth Chart and Plummeting Market Cost Push Former Sleeper to Waiver Wire Status
After a promising sophomore campaign in 2025 where he caught 65 passes for 709 yards and six touchdowns, Troy Franklin faces an uphill battle in Denver's revamped offense. With Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle headlining the wideouts alongside added competition in the slot, Franklin enters the year fighting for secondary targets from Bo Nix.
Market sentiment has cratered over the summer. Franklin's ADP collapsed from the 180s in late July all the way to pick 333 by September, accompanied by his roster rate tumbling down to 3%. Fantasy drafters have steadily faded him as his path to consistent volume narrowed.
Our projections forecast 40 catches for 450 yards and five scores (97.0 fantasy points). While his plummeted price makes him practically free, he remains merely a deep-league stash who requires injuries ahead of him on the depth chart to regain meaningful standalone value.
