Caleb Williams steered Chicago to a 25-24 win over Washington on a rain-soaked Monday night, guiding a nine-play, 36-yard drive to Jake Moody's 38-yard winner. Williams finished 17-of-29 for 252 yards with a TD and delivered when it mattered most, even as Moody—called up from the practice squad after Cairo Santos' quad injury—connected on three earlier kicks before a late block.

Chicago, now 3-2 after the bye, rides Williams and a gritty defense into a Week 7 date with New Orleans, while Washington drops to 3-3, continuing its win-loss pattern in 2025. The game carried echoes of last year's Hail Maryland moment, underscoring how closely this NFC East rivalry is tracked by fantasy players and bettors alike.

Fantasy take: Williams' late-game poise pushes him higher in superflex and dynasty rankings, Moody's leg remains a volatile but viable long-range kicker option in damp conditions, and Washington's schedule offers mixed upside as they head to Dallas.

Chicago rode a late-game surge to a 25-24 road win over Washington, capitalizing on a critical fumble and a rain-soaked, game-winning drive capped by Jake Moody’s 38-yard kick. D'Andre Swift finally unlocked the Bears’ running game with 108 rushing yards and a 55-yard receiving TD, while Caleb Williams kept the offense moving, even if not perfectly efficient.

Washington pushed back with Jayden Daniels’ 211 yards and three touchdowns, yet turnover misfortunes—especially a red-zone interception and a late handoff fumble—undone their efforts. Luke McCaffrey added a late 33-yard TD for Washington before Chicago sealed it. Next up: Bears at New Orleans; Commanders host Dallas.

For fantasy minds, Williams’ floor remains solid with mounting rushing appeal from Swift, but the red-zone efficiency and game pace will drive the Week 7 projections.

Caleb Williams guided Chicago to a 25-24 win in a rain-soaked finale, capping a nine-play, 36-yard march that set up Jake Moody’s 38-yard winner. Williams added a rushing score and 252 yards through the air, while D’Andre Swift produced 108 rushing yards and 67 receiving yards, including a 55-yard TD. Washington’s three turnovers, including a botched handoff, doomed the visitors as Williams and the Bears extended their win streak to three under Ben Johnson.

Daniels tossed three TDs for Washington but couldn’t close it out after the turnover spree; Moody’s journey from practice squad to game-winner highlighted the luck-and-formula nature of a late-season NFL grind. Injuries and absences plagued both sides, with Moore out overnight for Chicago and McLaurin and Brown sidelined for Washington, reshaping fantasy and real-world expectations.

Looking ahead, Chicago hosts the struggling Saints while Washington visits Dallas, two tests that will reveal how durable the Williams-Swift-Nagy blueprint is as the calendar turns toward fantasy playoff relevance.

Deebo Samuel is slated to play Monday night despite a heel concern, and with Terry McLaurin sidelined, Samuel projects for a heavy target share in Washington. Fantasy managers should expect volume in a demanding matchup against Chicago, with Samuel operating as a focal point in the Commanders' aerial attack.

Across the league, Puka Nacua's ankle injury could sideline him, elevating look opportunities for Davante Adams, Tutu Atwell, and Jordan Whittington in Los Angeles. Emeka Egbuka’s hamstring adds to the turbulence in Tampa Bay's WR corps, suggesting a crowded field for Week 7 passes and potential shifts for other Buccaneers receivers.

chatter in Jets land hints at possible quarterback upheaval, though Fields' status remains under debate and could affect Week 7 plans against the Panthers. In the immediate ripple, Rams pass catchers and Stafford have a clearer path to targets if Nacua misses time, while ARI—er Rams—are leaning on Higbee and other pass catchers to shoulder the load.
