Expert Note
View More NotesLast year, with Ben Johnson, Caleb Williams took a small step forward in his play, but it wasn't nearly as massive a step as most think. Yes, he was the QB7 in fantasy points per game while ranking 12th in rushing yards per game and 11th in rushing touchdowns among quarterbacks, but he still struggled mightily as a passer despite the fantasy production and late-game heroics. Among 38 qualifying passers, he was 22nd in yards per attempt, 30th in adjusted completion rate and highly accurate throw rate, 34th in catchable target rate, 25th in hero throw rate, and he had the tenth-highest off-target rate. Despite all of his shortcomings with accuracy, Williams should still enjoy a nice Week 1 against a pass defense that, in Weeks 12-18 last year, allowed the third-highest passing success rate and eighth-highest CPOE, while ranking 15th in yards per attempt.
Player News
View More NewsCaleb Williams completed 21-of-29 pass attempts for 269 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing 10 times for 65 yards and two touchdowns in a 59-37 Week 1 win over the Carolina Panthers.
Fantasy Impact
Williams was electric behind center to begin the season for head coach Ben Johnson, recording multiple touchdowns through the air and on the ground in the win. The dual-threat quarterback will look to offer fantasy manager a dynamic option in a favorable Week 2 contest against the Minnesota Vikings.
