Caleb Williams led a confident, efficient Chicago opening drive in preseason Week 2, tallying 97 passing yards on six attempts and capping it with a 36-yard TD to Olid Zakias. He spread targets to Colton Loveland, Cole KT, and DJ Moore, delivering a calm, on-schedule look that has fantasy managers bumping his ceiling. The Bears showcased Ben Johnson’s offense with multiple-receiver sets and two-tight-end looks, signaling Williams could anchor a top-12 fantasy season if the trend continues.

Across the slate, Ashton Gentry flashed the backfield profile Pete Carroll craves, ripping through Week 2 for 33 yards and a touchdown on seven carries, suggesting high rookie upside with a clear path to heavier usage. Rashee Rice faces suspension chatter that could cloud Chiefs’ target distribution, while the Williams-Moore Loveland trio in Chicago remains a focal point for fantasy value in a retooled offense. Brian Robinson Jr. trade buzz and Purdy’s SF framework provide useful benchmarks for evaluating rookie upside and veteran durability ahead of drafts.
