Rome Odunze News
Saturday, June 27, 11:10 AM
Across 12 games in 2025, Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) recorded 44 catches for 661 yards and six touchdowns on 90 targets. The 24-year-old's campaign was disrupted by a late-season foot injury that forced him to miss the final five games of the regular season. Odunze was able to return for Chicago's two postseason contests, but he mentioned during OTAs that he's still dealing with lingering effects of the foot ailment. While Odunze's injury concerns are unquestionably worrisome, it may also be creating a buy-low window for fantasy managers. Following Chicago's offseason trade of wideout DJ Moore to the Buffalo Bills, Odunze appears to be the WR1 in an improving Bears offense. However, he's currently coming off the board as the WR28 by average draft position in redraft leagues. Odunze's profile has risk, but his upside may be worth gambling on in 2026.

Emeka Egbuka News
Thursday, June 25, 5:25 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka was the first player in NFL history to record 25-plus receptions, 400-plus receiving yards, and five-plus touchdowns in his first five career games, pacing as the WR3 over that stretch. While his torrid opening pace fell off dramatically over the back half of the year, there's still plenty to be excited about if he can reestablish a more consistent connection with quarterback Baker Mayfield in his second season. Even while disappointing fantasy managers, Egbuka finished the year with 938 yards on 63 receptions, and with six-time Pro Bowler Mike Evans no longer part of the team, the 2025 first-round pick should see an uptick in first-read targets. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR12, opinions are likely split on the 23-year-old wideout, making him an intriguing trade target who could be viewed as a foundational piece to a rebuilding roster or a usable weekly contributor for contending managers.
