Caleb Williams' return should solve many of the Bears' problems, but young pass-catchers still have work to do
Matt Harmon puts the Bears under the microscope to see what getting Caleb Williams back will mean for the team and fantasy managers.
The Chicago Bears finished second in fantasy draft rankings this summer, boasting five players within the top 70 overall. However, their pass-catching corps still needs improvement. After being drafted 19th in Round 4, RB Andre Swift has been the only delight for his owners so far. Wide receiver Luther Burden and tight end Colston Loveland have struggled to make a consistent impact, while Colston Loveland is considered the worst pick on the board.
Despite Caleb Williams' impressive one-game debut, showing growth from his 2025 performance, the quarterback must address several issues to benefit his teammates. The Bears, currently ranked 20th in explosive play rate, will undoubtedly see a positive change with Williams returning. However, the question remains: how much will this improvement translate to each individual player's performance?
