Caleb Williams' Week 1 against Minnesota was fine, not spectacular, with flashes of elite arm talent and a few timing hiccups. A late misfire to DJ Moore drew social-media noise, but veteran QBs defended him as Williams navigates a rookie-year learning curve in Chicago. The Bears head to Detroit in Week 2, a true litmus test that could reset the Williams narrative. Fantasy players should expect splash plays and volatility, with Moore likely to benefit if Williams tightens his timing and Chicago cleans up penalties.

The aftermath centers on Williams' public accountability and a path to steadier accuracy. If the offense stabilizes—protection, route timing, and play-calling sharpen—Williams can elevate his weekly upside, turning a tough opener into a springboard for a high-ceiling fantasy profile as Chicago tries to salvage a hopeful post-Week 1 arc.
