STM Take
A rising receiver whose floor depends on his quarterback.
The case for
- 49-rank year-over-year jump; the largest sophomore breakout among the top-25 WRs.
- Two-year career line of 98-1,395-9 at age 23 is on pace for a tier-1 ceiling once the QB room stabilizes.
The worry
- Caleb Williams's STTM #17 tier 5 QB finish in 2025 capped the air-share; the offense is still developing.
- Recent game log shows multiple sub-7 PPR weeks; the floor games come when Williams sits or game-scripts go run-heavy.
What to watch: Whether Caleb Williams jumps to tier 3 or better in year three; Odunze's tier-1 ceiling needs a real QB tier-1.
Full take and bio
Odunze climbed from STTM #62 tier 8 as a rookie to #13 tier 2 in his second year, the cleanest sophomore jump in the top-15 WRs. The 2025 game log has 20.6 (Wk 10) and 18.4 (Wk 8) PPR ceilings but also a 0 PPR (Wk 9); the floor games come when Caleb Williams's tier-5 QB rank produces a bad day. The 2024 first-round draft capital is now paying off.
Odunze was born in Orem, Utah, moved to Las Vegas at three, attended Bishop Gorman, and led the NCAA in receiving yards in 2023 as a consensus All-American at Washington. He was a CFP national title runner-up that year. Chicago took him ninth overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. Career line is 98 catches for 1,395 yards and 9 TDs across two seasons.
