Caleb Williams

After an uneven rookie season in which he finished QB16 in fantasy scoring, Caleb Williams took a big step forward in 2025 under new Bears head coach and playcaller Ben Johnson, finishing QB6 in fantasy scoring. Williams threw for a franchise-record 3,942 yards. He boosted his yardage per pass attempt from 6.3 as a rookie to 6.9. He bumped his TD rate from 3.6% to 4.9%, while slashing his sack rate from 10.8% to 4.1%. There's still room for improvement. Williams completed only 58.1% of his throws last season, and he's a notoriously slow starter who sometimes slumbers through the first half of games. But Williams is a remarkable athlete capable of extraordinary throws. He adds some fantasy value as a runner (388 rushing yards and three TD runs last year), though he prefers to use his mobility to buy additional time to throw. Williams has a bright future, and with Johnson as his mentor and a pass-catching corps that includes TE Colston Loveland and WRs Rome Odunze and Luther Burden, a high-end QB1 fantasy season is within reach.

Caleb Williams completed 20-of-33 passes for 212 yards and two scores in Chicago's 19-16 loss to Detroit on Sunday. He was picked off once.

Fantasy Impact

Williams had touchdown passes to Colston Loveland and Jahdae Walker in the three-point loss. Williams closes out his sophomore season with 3,942 passing yards and 27 touchdowns to just seven interceptions as he leads the NFC North Champions into Wild Card Weekend against the Packers.
