2025 Outlook: Caleb Williams
2025 fantasy player outlook for Caleb Williams, QB, Chicago Bears
Williams is a former No. 1 overall pick who should now benefit from one of the best offensive minds in the NFL in Ben Johnson and has perhaps one of the deepest supporting casts in the NFL with DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, Luther Burden, Olamide Zaccheaus, Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet. Those are the reasons to take a chance on him as a top-12 QB, but there are far more reasons to not do that. His performance as a rookie was subpar (his 21.1% bad throw percentage was the third-highest in the league), and he hasn't quite ditched the concept of holding the ball too long based on practice reports and observations. Inaccurate and indecisive is no way to succeed as an NFL quarterback. And even though the Bears made great improvements to the offensive line they're still struggling to figure out how to move as a unit much less protect their young passer. Because of his potential, and Ben Johnson, we are willing to draft Williams as a top-15 type of QB1 in Round 12 or later, but he should be your second quarterback, not your first. In Dynasty leagues, Williams is a top-eight QB who still has top-five potential.
