Caleb Williams gets new Head Coach · Jan 20, 2025
The Bears hired Lions Offensive Coordinator Ben Johnson as their new Head Coach.
Wow. Most thought Johnson would land a job somewhere, but few believed Chicago was going to be the best of his choices. He clearly must believe in the talent of Williams and this move has to be seen as a positive one for the Chicago offense as Johnson has proven to be both creative and productive on that side of the ball - something the Bears haven't exactly been known for as of late. Williams could be on the "buy low" side of the dynasty rankings this off-season, especially as his rookie season continues to be overshadowed by Jayden Daniels.
Caleb Williams solid again · Dec 22, 2024
Bears quarterback Caleb Williams completed 26-of-40 passes for 334 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in a loss to Detroit.
He added 34 rushing yards to lead the team. The stat line looks good, but there were some empty points out there with the Bears getting crushed early. He's done enough this season to look like the quarterback of the future in Chicago, but some changes need to be made around him for him to truly be an elite level fantasy performer. Still, his second half has been a lot better than his first half and he looks like a solid dynasty hold.
Caleb Williams does his part · Nov 30, 2024
Bears quarterback Caleb Williams completed 20-of-39 passes for 256 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in a loss against the Lions.
He co-led the Bears with 39 yards rushing as well. Williams was spotty at first, but made a bunch of plays in the second half to keep Chicago in it. Unfortunately, his inexperience (and terrible coaching) led the Bears to inexplicably let the clock run out in the fourth quarter before attempting a game-tying field goal. The team is a total mess, but Williams has looked like a player making some strides over the past few weeks. A new coaching staff could help or hurt, but Williams at least looks like he has NFL talent. We'll see if Chicago ruins it or helps him fulfill his potential.
Caleb Williams solid again · Nov 25, 2024
Bears quarterback Caleb Williams completed 32-of-47 passes for 340 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in a loss against Minnesota.
He also led the Bears with 33 rushing yards. Williams nearly led an unbelievable comeback, but the Bears were once again left heartbroken with another loss. Williams hadn't thrown a touchdown pass in a month, so this was a welcome sight for sure. He may not be the dynasty prospect Jayden Daniels has been, but Williams (and his value) seems to be on the rise again.
Caleb Williams leaves broken-hearted · Nov 17, 2024
Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams completed 23-of-31 passes for 231 yards, adding 70 rushing yards in a tough 20-19 loss to the Packers.
Williams did all he could in this one as the Bears had a potential game-winning field goal blocked at the end. It was a terrible disappointing day for Williams and Chicago lost their fourth straight game. There were rumblings about Williams being benched this week, but those should stop after today's performance. While he still has room to grow, this was a significant day for him as he simply played about as well as you could have expected. Any dynasty value drop he's had over the past couple of weeks should slow down now.
Caleb Williams leveling off · Nov 11, 2024
Bears quarterback Caleb Williams completed 16-of-30 passes for 120 yards in a loss to the Patriots.
The Bears clearly have not gotten over the hail mary defeat that was inflicted on them against Washington two weeks ago and this was rock bottom for their season. Williams led a listless offense that put up only 142 total yards on the day against a team that came in at 2-7 on the season. Williams himself looks like a player who is hitting the rookie wall a little early and despite his 30 attempts, he was only able to post those 120 yards. He won't be a recommended option moving forward and while he has shown some flashes, dynasty managers need to see more from him moving forward to build around him.
Caleb Williams quiet · Nov 4, 2024
Bears quarterback Caleb Williams completed 22-of-41 passes for 217 yards in a loss against Arizona.
The Cardinals have been a sneaky good team this year and Chicago found that out the hard way this week. It honestly looked like a team that was still dealing with last week's gut punch of a loss and simply didn't show up. Williams has shown promise all season, but has also had some poor performances. His value should remain stable moving forward as he's shown enough promise to solidify his lofty dynasty ranking.
Caleb Williams has breakout performance · Oct 13, 2024
Bears quarterback Caleb Williams completed 23-of-29 passes for 226 yards with four touchdowns and one interception in a win against Jacksonville.
He added 56 rushing yards on the day. Feel free to put a * on this game based on the fact it was played against the Jaguars, but you may be doing so at your own risk. Williams looks like a player who is developing very quickly and today could have easily been his coming out party. While not quite on the QB1 line as of yet, Williams looks like a solid hold in dynasty leagues and the talk of the Bears (and dynasty managers) missing out on Jayden Daniels will subside for at least a week.
Caleb Williams progressing · Oct 6, 2024
Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams completed 20-of-29 passes for 304 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions, adding 34 rushing yards in a win against Carolina.
Here we go. After Jayden Daniels had really outshined Williams over the first month of the season, we finally saw what the Bears could have in Williams today. Sure, it was against Carolina. However, Williams was poised, controlled and accurate all day today. While we need to see him string together a few solid performances before anointing him as the next big thing, this was a huge step in the right direction today. Williams remains a solid hold in dynasty leagues.
Caleb Williams has solid outing · Sep 29, 2024
Bears quarterback Caleb Williams completed 17-of-23 passes for 157 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in a win against the Rams.
Williams again did what was asked of him in this one as the Bears continue to protect their franchise quarterback. After the first month of the season, Williams has looked as one would expect, like a rookie. While the output hasn't been extraordinary, Williams has avoided mistakes and managed games relatively effectively. These are the growing pains you would expect from a new quarterback and better days should be ahead.
