Caleb Williams Week 1 Outlook - Titans at Bears

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Wed, Sep 4th 2024, 8:38pm EDT

Williams flashed his big-time upside in the preseason. He had a 13% big-time throw rate and 8.5 yards per attempt while also having some rookie growing pains (61.1% adjusted completion rate). We all know Williams was a high-end prospect who could hit the ground running immediately in his rookie season as a talented receiving depth chart flanks him. The Tennessee pass defense allowed the ninth-highest yards per attempt and CPOE and the seventh-highest adjusted completion rate last year, but that could change this year. This offseason upgrading the secondary was of prime importance with the additions of Quandre Diggs, Chidobe Awuzie, and L'Jarius Snead. Williams could return QB1 production in Week 1, but it's more reasonable to expect a QB2 stat line.
