Rome Odunze

Bears WR Rome Odunze has been playing through a stress fracture in his foot, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. It's unclear when Odunze suffered the injury. He was on the injury report with a heel as far back as Week 9, but this week is the first time he's been listed with a foot. Pelissero adds that Odunze "just needs rest and is week-to-week. The belief is it s nothing long term and he ll be back soon." We'll keep you updated on Odunze's health going forward, but he seems more likely than not to miss multiple games with this injury. His absence leaves behind 7.5 targets per game, boosting the fantasy outlooks on WRs Luther Burden, D.J. Moore, and Olamide Zaccheaus and TE Colston Loveland.

Prior to the foot listing, Odunze has been listed with heel and ankle issues on the Bears' injury report, dating back to late October. It is possible these listings are all related. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that "the belief is it's nothing long term and he'll be back soon." The Bears (9-3) sit atop the NFC standings. Preserving Odunze's health for the playoffs makes sense. The Bears sandwich a Week 15 game against the Browns with games against the division-rival Packers in Weeks 14 and 16. Hopefully, Odunze is good to go for the rematch.

Odunze, who was ruled out for Sunday's game against Green Bay, has been playing with a stress fracture in his foot and is considered week-to-week, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

Top wide receiver Rome Odunze will not play with the Bears this weekend versus the Packers due to a foot injury, the team announced Friday.

The Bears will officially be without their top receiver when they face the Packers on Sunday.
