Williams flashed a mix of electric plays and costly mistakes; managing emotions and tightening decision-making will be critical for Week 2 growth.

Caleb Williams needs a clean pocket and rhythm throws to reach peak fantasy value. A steady run game and shorter, precise passes will minimize risk, while accuracy and decision-making under pressure will determine fantasy upside in a hostile road environment.

Williams faced heavy interior pressure from Javon Hargrave and Jonathan Allen as Chicago's revamped line struggled; accuracy questions linger after Week 1; a spike in pre-snap penalties (12 for 127 yards) hurt drives. Week 2 vs Detroit will test his ability to process quickly behind a reined-in offense.

Williams offers a high ceiling in 0.5 PPR, with proven rushing upside that boosts his Week 2 floor against Detroit. His past success against the Lions suggests a favorable script for both passing and designed runs, making him a strong captain or major correlation option.

Williams’ scrambling ability adds a layer to Chicago’s plan. His mobility creates drive-extension options and necessitates contain-and-squeeze discipline from Detroit, especially since he can emulate a big-play threat with improvised runs.
