Jeff Ratcliffe Flags Rome Odunze as Round 6-10 WR Value for 2026 Drafts

Rome Odunze headlines Jeff Ratcliffe’s 2026 mid-to-late round wide receiver targets as a breakout candidate for fantasy managers who open drafts with running backs.
A 23.9% target share through his first eight games underpins that case: before a Week 9 foot injury, Odunze ranked inside the top 20 in yards per route run and was tracking at a WR10 pace.
Chicago’s changing depth chart adds opportunity, with DJ Moore’s exit leaving about five targets per game available and Odunze moving into the X receiver role in Ben Johnson’s offense.
Ratcliffe argues the market still undervalues him, noting Odunze is being drafted roughly a full round after teammate Luther Burden III despite what he sees as the higher weekly ceiling.
