  "account": "Rome Odunze, a wide receiver for the Chicago Bears, recorded 69 yards on four receptions during a Week 7 victory against the New England Patriots. He was targeted five times throughout the game. In this sixth season with the Bears, Odunze's contributions have been inconsistent. Despite his age, he still possesses enough potential to warrant rostering him as a backup receiver, primarily due to the offensive scheme he operates within.",
  "summary": "Rome Odunze finished Week 7 with 69 yards on four catches, including a critical reception in the fourth quarter of Chicago's win over the Patriots.",
