3 Rome Odunze stats Chicago Bears fans must know 

Rome Odunze has not been overwhelmingly productive for the Chicago Bears, but he has also not been so quiet that he is being called a bust. He is in a unique spot for a former top-ten pick entering an offense with an established number-one wideout and a rookie quarterback. So, there is time for him to grow.

What are some notable stats to look into to see if Odunze can improve in the final 11 games?

3. Rome Odunze has produced a lot more against man than zone

So far this season, the Bears rookie wideout has been able to beat zone coverage. Caleb Williams is 12-20 when targeting Odunze against zone and they have 203 yards, which amounts to 1.5 yards per route run. Overall, that is actually the top mark of all of the receivers in YPRR. Cole Kmet is at 1.51, D’Andre Swift is at 1.54, D.J. Moore is at 1.29 and Keenan Allen sits down at 0.81. 

There is plenty of room for optimism here. On the flip side, though, he has struggled against man coverage, with 0.26 yards per route run. Williams is just 2-6 when throwing his way against man coverage. 

Moore is at 1.14 and Allen is at 1.63 when facing this coverage. To be fair, this is a limited sample size for Odunze, and it appears that the tracking data says that he is getting open on the plays when he is not being targeted. For whatever reason, Williams is just not looking his way as much. 

Still, finding that Odunze is the most productive against zone and noting that while he is unproductive against man, he seems to be doing well against this coverage are both encouraging signs.
