23-Year-Old QuarterbackQB
Chicago Bears
2024 Fantasy Outlook
The No. 1 pick in this year’s draft, Williams heads to the Bears as the franchise quarterback. The same was expected of Justin Fields three years ago, but Fields, who was traded to Pittsburgh in March, never had the talent with which the Bears have surrounded Williams. Eight picks after Williams, the Bears drafted Rome Odunze, a 6-3 wideout with 4.45 speed. He joins holdover DJ Moore and trade acquisition Keenan Allen, giving the Bears one of the league’s better WR rooms. The Bears also signed D’Andre Swift, a good pass catcher out of the backfield, and return TE Cole Kmet, who had 11 red-zone TD receptions the last two seasons (second among TEs to Travis Kelce). New offensive coordinator Shane Waldron didn’t exactly turn heads as Seattle’s OC the last few years, but it should go better than what the Bears had last season. At 6-1, 215, Williams can torch defenses from the pocket with his elite arm and also has the mobility to make plays outside the pocket, throwing with nearly as much accuracy and velocity on the move. If Williams has a fault, it’s that he sometimes holds the ball too long in hopes of a big play, thereby inviting trouble. Even then, though, his scrambling ability adds to his fantasy upside. Chicago is the only franchise without a 4,000-yard passer in its history. Williams should finally change that. Read Past Outlooks

Impressive numbers in loss
QBChicago Bears
December 22, 2024
Williams completed 26 of 40 passes for 334 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed six times for 34 yards in the Bears' 34-17 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
The end result was another ugly loss for the Bears that dropped them to 4-11, but Williams' play was encouraging from a statistical perspective. The rookie first overall pick's yardage total was the third highest of his career, and the performance was his fourth 300-yard effort overall. Williams authored his fourth multi-touchdown tally of the last five contests by connecting with Cole Kmet (one yard) and Keenan Allen (45 yards) for his pair of scoring passes, both of which came in the second quarter. He also hasn't thrown an interception in nine straight games. Williams will look to continue honing his craft while seeking to snap what is now a nine-game losing streak for Chicago when the Seahawks come to town for a Week 17 matchup Thursday night.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Coaching change after debacle
QBChicago Bears
December 1, 2024
Williams will have a new head coach for the remainder of the season, as the Bears promoted Thomas Brown to interim head coach and relieved Matt Eberflus of his duties Friday.
ANALYSIS
Eberflus' firing comes one day after the coach and quarterback were both complacent in mismanaging the clock down the stretch of Thursday's 23-20 loss to the Lions. Williams took a sack to knock the Bears out of field-goal range with 33 seconds left, and Eberflus' decision not to take the team's final timeout at that point was compounded by Williams' curious decision to spend valuable time calling an audible at the line, which led to the clock expiring during Chicago's next play. The Bears will look to find a spark under Brown after dropping their last six games under Eberflus to fall to 4-8.
