Caleb Williams rides a revamped Bears line to a dramatic drop in sacks, from a rookie-season record pace to a 7-sack four-game start in 2025. The interior trio of Joe Thuney, Jonah Jackson, and Drew Dalman anchors Chicago’s pass protection, letting Williams get in rhythm and deploy the offense with more confidence. The shift lifts the fantasy outlook for Williams and Chicago receivers as the team eyes a bye and a key matchup with Washington.

The Bears’ offensive-line overhaul, plus coaching changes, fuels Williams’ improved pocket presence and quicker reads, while a fellow 2024 draftee, Jayden Daniels, looms as a reminder of the young quarterback cohort shaping the league. Expect bigger-volume targets for DJ Moore and a more balanced attack as Chicago pushes toward the late-season schedule.
