Luther Burden

We do not yet know Odunze's Friday practice participation level, but he was sidelined on Wednesday and Thursday. We suspect he was again unable to go today. Odunze's 23.9 percent team target share leads all Bears pass catchers by at least 8.0 percent. Removing him from the offense frees up a significant number of opportunities for WR DJ Moore, WR Luther Burden and TE Colston Loveland. All three receive a small bump in their potential ceiling outcomes.

Missed practice all week with a foot injury Bears ruled out WR Rome Odunze for Sunday s game at Green Bay due to a foot injury. (Adam Schefter on X) FF Today's Take: Oduzne missed practice all week with a foot injury and will now sit in Week 14 against the Packers. D.J. Moore, Luther Burden III and TE Colston Loveland could all see an increase in targets. The Bears have been focused on running the ball the last couple weeks and their passing game has been inefficient, so it's likely that the fantasy community will overvalue this spot for the Chicago pass catchers.

Bears WR Rome Odunze (foot) is out for Sunday s game vs. the Packers. We don t have any details on this foot injury, but Odunze didn t practice all week, so this could turn into a multi-game absence. D.J. Moore, Luther Burden, and Olamide Zaccheaus will operate as Chicago s top three WRs against Green Bay s 17th-ranked WR defense. TE Colston Loveland could also get more involved.

Rookie WR Luther Burden III made a team-high 4 receptions on a modest passing day for the Bears against Philadelphia. He tied WR Rome Odunze and TE Colston Loveland for the team lead with six targets and took his 4 catches for 33 yards. Loveland and TE Cole Kmet were the only other Bears to catch more than two balls.

Burden ended up leading the Bears in receptions on a day where Caleb Williams had to deal with significant wind and also just missed on some throws. The rookie continues to see his volume increase, and there's a lot of reason to believe in the second-round pick in the coming seasons. It's just impossible to treat him as more than a risky FLEX play in 2025, and that's certainly true for Week 14 against the Packers in Green Bay.
