Caleb Williams is on pace to break the Chicago Bears’ single-season passing records, aiming for roughly 3,940 yards and 34 touchdowns and possibly cracking the 4,000-yard barrier. Ben Johnson’s new Bears-era identity has Williams operating with a confident, pro-ready offense and a productive supporting cast, elevating Chicago’s fantasy upside. A Week 4 comeback win over the Raiders, sealed by Josh Blackwell’s heroic block, signals a resilient, late-game ethos the franchise has long lacked.

With a bye week to refocus, a sequence of favorable games looms that could lift Williams into historical territory and push the Bears toward a meaningful .500 stretch. The lore of Erik Kramer’s 1995 Chicago passing record — 3,838 yards and 29 TDs — hangs over every drive, as Williams’ current pace threatens to erase a 30-year drought for a 4K passer. The storyline also orbits around Theo Benedet’s assignment in Washington and the broader transformation under Johnson, fueling high fantasy intrigue.

Rome Odunze is on a tear, pushing toward the Bears' single-season receiving TD record as he sits with five scores in four games. Calibrated with Caleb Williams, he looks like a weekly anchor in red-zone and big-play scenarios, making fantasy managers circle him as a must-start option down the stretch. Chicago’s plan revolves around him, and if health cooperates, Odunze projects an uptick that could push him into historic Bears territory.

The rest of the season could bring a running back upgrade for Chicago as GM Ryan Poles eyes help on the ground. A midseason swap for a veteran back could unlock the offense’s ceiling, easing the load on Williams and Odunze while stabilizing the rushing attack. Austin Booker’s return could alter the pass rush and the defensive tempo, too.

On defense, Kevin Byard is playing at a high level, with secondary reinforcements on the way from injury. If Taj Edwards and Kyler Gordon return healthy, the back seven could improve enough to help the whole unit, including Booker who could lead the team in sacks upon activation. Cairo Santos has demonstrated reliability and could further extend his range, potentially hitting a career-long kick this year.

Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson is guiding Caleb Williams toward peak potential, and the early results are encouraging. Williams erupted for four TDs and a 142.6 rating against Dallas in Week 3, continuing a historic start for a No. 1 pick. Through 21 games, he has 28 TDs and eight INTs. Johnson's daily prep and open dialogue keep Williams in rhythm, freeing him to play fast.

The 13-game stretch ahead will test Williams against tougher defenses, but the framework is in place for sustained growth as the pairing refines timing and decision-making.

Caleb Williams continues to shine against blitzes, a surprising contrast to his rookie sack tally. Through four games this season, he leads blitz metrics with a 6:0 TD-to-INT ratio and a 136.3 passer rating when defenses dial up pressure. He uses his legs to escape and buys time for quick reads from the Ben Johnson playbook, fueling a Bears resurgence.

With an upgraded offensive line and Johnson calling the shots, Chicago has found a blueprint to turn pressure into production. The Raiders and Cowboys tests underline Williams as a high end fantasy asset when blitzes come, and the Williams Johnson duo could redefine the Bears offense this year.
