Caleb Williams overcame his rookie struggles to elevate his efficiency from 6.3 Yards Per Attempt in 2024 to 6.9 in 2025, securing a finishing spot as the fantasy QB7 in points per game. Now fully adjusted to Ben Johnson’s terminology, he commands a top-two ranking in total Air Yards with 4,901, flashing the elite downfield aggressive mindset required for top-tier fantasy output.
Williams admitted to feeling as if he was “drowning” while learning the playbook last summer. Despite the occasional run-heavy game plan, Williams’ Top-10 Explosive Play Rating in 2025 locks him in as a high-upside QB1 for fantasy football best ball and dynasty formats.

The Bears’ sudden move to replace second-string quarterback P.J. Walker came as a surprise after Chicago just signed the fourth-year backup to a two-year contract worth $4.15M with over $2M in guarantees this Spring. Walker’s replacement on the roster Tyson Bagent will compete with Nathan Peterman for QB2 duties behind star signal caller Justin Fields.
Though relatively unknown, Tyson Bagent is coming off a historic run in Division II. He passed for a total of 9,580 yards and 94 touchdowns in his final two college seasons, and his 159 career passing touchdowns represent the current NCAA record. According to Bears coach Matt Eberflus, Bagent will be the first QB off the bench in competition with Nathan Peterson. It’s worth noting Tyson Bagent was in fact the second QB to enter Chicago’s final preseason game, ending the preseason 20-156-0-1 while adding two touchdowns on the ground.
Bagent rightfully remains undrafted in redraft leagues. However, the push by Chicago to fortify their aerial attack should instill faith in the wide receiver corp, even in the worst case of Justin Fields going down to injury.
