Caleb Williams won't play in Week 3 and Tyson Bagent is likely out because of a concussion. That leaves the Bears with Case Keenum under center. Keenum ranks 81st out of 90 qualified quarterbacks in EPA per play over the past five years.

Negative signalProjection

Odunze faces Case Keenum (81st in EPA per play); stylistic mismatch looms.

Odunze is a sit for Week 3. Caleb Williams won't play and Tyson Bagent is likely out with a concussion, leaving the Bears with Case Keenum under center. Keenum ranks 81st out of 90 qualified quarterbacks in EPA per play over the past five years and hasn't thrown a pass in a game since 2023. Odunze's 6.5 aDOT, the eighth-lowest in the league over that timeframe, could be the biggest issue; being a stylistic mismatch for a third-string quarterback is not a promising start to Week 3.
