It’s a race to 1,000 yards between Moore, Allen, and Odunze, and they are not shying away from the competition. We already know, on paper, that this is the most talented receiving trio in Bears history. All three players are coming off extremely productive seasons, whether it was in college or the NFL, and Chicago very well could have its first 1,000-yard duo in over 10 years. But who will emerge first—or on top—between these three playmakers?
Moore is the favorite, given his age, experience, and versatility on the offense. He can beat you on a screen or deep down on the sidelines. He’s also extremely durable, having missed just two games during his six-year career. Allen could easily give him a run for his money, however.
The former Charger’s inability to stay on the field is well documented, which plays a factor in how effective he will be in 2024. He is still a force when he’s on the field, though, proving that in 2023 when he managed 108 receptions in just 13 games. Allen will likely be used early and often, especially to move the chains on third downs. He could easily approach the 1,000-yard mark earlier than people expect.
Then there is Odunze, the biggest wildcard of the trio. On any other team, he would be counted on as the WR2 or even WR1 right out of the gate. In Chicago, though, Odunze can be eased into the offense like Jaxon Smith-Njigba was in Seattle under Waldron. His route tree and football acumen might make it difficult for the Bears to wait, however. Perhaps he explodes onto the scene and takes advantage of more favorable matchups, with the focus being on Moore and Allen.
With this talented trio, asking the question of how good they can be feels like a waste. We know they’re going to be a good group, even if not all of them succeed in 2024. We want to know who is going to be the best, and the fact that there is an argument for all three should have Bears fans jumping for joy. This is going to be a fun group to watch this year.
