Caleb Williams opened Chicago’s preseason with a seven-play, 92-yard TD drive, signaling the Bears’ top-line ambition and a fast, identity-driven offense. Williams connected with Zaccheaus for a 36-yard TD and showed rhythm with Moore, Odunze and Loveland on a drive that stressed tempo and accuracy, finishing 6-for-10 for 107 yards in 13 snaps. The performance laid a clear blueprint: an explosive, spread-ready attack that can lean on a receiver corps with Zaccheaus and Odunze while still feeding a pair of tight ends in Loveland and Kmet.

Behind Williams, Tyson Bagent directed Chicago’s third drive, completing 13 of 22 passes for 196 yards and a TD, offering a glimpse at the QB room’s depth. While the Bills rested starters, the Bears seized the moment to showcase the growth mindset Williams has emphasized all camp, translating practice wins into a proving-ground success. For fantasy managers, Williams’ early preseason command, paired with a diversified receiver set and active TE use, suggests upside if he remains the focal point and if the line stabilizes enough to sustain the scheme.
