Caleb Williams and J.J. McCarthy headline Week 1, with Williams facing Minnesota’s solid defense and McCarthy stepping into Minnesota’s high‑percentage system. D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze are central to Chicago’s aerial attack, while Aaron Jones Sr. and D’Andre Swift form a backfield rotation for Minnesota—that duo should still yield steady receiving work. T.J. Hockenson anchors the tight end spot, and Luther Burden III and Adam Thielen offer appealing upside for deeper rosters. The Who Should I Start tool adds a brisk, four‑player comparison to help set Week 1 lineups.

In short, Williams is a viable Week 1 low‑end QB2 play with long‑term upside; McCarthy sticks as a solid Superflex option; Moore, Hockenson, and Thielen are anchor plays, with Odunze and Mason offering high‑ceiling, lower‑floor upside in this Bears‑heavy Week 1 slate. Jones Sr. and Swift bring backfield value, while Burden and Mason provide late‑round boom potential in PPR leagues.
