Caleb Williams showed growth in Week 2, attacking rhythm and taking what the defense gave him as Chicago eyes a Week 3 breakout. He went 19-of-30 for 207 yards with 2 TDs and 1 interception, a 91.9 rating, signaling progress in Ben Johnson's offense despite the dud of a game. Rome Odunze flashed as the Bears’ WR1 with seven grabs for 128 yards and 2 TDs, while Tyrique Stevenson’s slide continued as the secondary falters with Jaylon Johnson out. Colston Loveland’s slow start and Montez Sweat’s lack of impact add risk to the push to salvage the season.

The Bears face Week 3 amid mounting drama and lingering questions after a rough defeat to Detroit, while Caleb Williams dominance chatter fuels the story lines around the Bears’ arc. The episode previews a critical meeting with Matt Eberflus and the Dallas Cowboys, and updates on Kyler Gordon and TJ Edwards shape fantasy depth charts.

The hosts dissect how the Williams heat could influence NFL draft chatter and fantasy perception, and how Chicago’s offense and defense might respond against Dallas. With injuries and inconsistent play looming, fantasy managers should watch the injury report closely and identify hidden upside in a week-three landscape that could swing several rosters.

Bottom line: expect careful lineup decisions, lean offense, volatile defense, and a Sacramento-like caution in Week 3 as the Bears navigate a high-stakes matchup with the Cowboys.

Tom Brady’s appearance in the Raiders’ coach’s box during the Raiders-Chargers game sparked a nuanced debate about potential conflicts of interest given his minority ownership and FOX analyst duties. The NFL cleared him, noting no rule violation, but the optics linger as Brady prepares to call Cowboys-Bears for Fox on Sunday.

Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer downplayed concerns, joking that everybody has access to playbooks and that he’ll talk football with anyone. Bears coach Ben Johnson echoed a similar stance, while the upcoming MNF tilt between the Raiders and Cowboys on Nov. 17 adds a fresh narrative layer for fantasy managers to parse—whether such cross-team access quietly influences preparation or remains surface-level chatter.

Dallas Goedert has battled injury misfortune against teams tied to his nameplate. In 2023 he fractured a forearm in Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys and missed three games, including a Chiefs affair at Arrowhead. Less than two years later, a knee sprain in the season opener vs Dallas kept him out the following week in Kansas City, though he traveled with the team and remained hopeful. Now Week 3 vs the Rams looms as he nears a return, practicing in limited fashion with a brace in tow.

The Eagles leaned on Goedert last season as a reliable target, despite a heavy workload and injuries, and they’ll welcome him back if he can contribute in the passing and running games. His presence could unlock Philadelphia’s rhythm as they navigate a cautious early stretch and a defense-heavy opponent slate, with his snap counts and target share under close watch.
