Caleb Williams' Bears debut showed electric early moments but faded late, leaving Chicago with questions about pace and accuracy. Ben Johnson's lofty target of 4,000 yards and 70% completion remains a bold bet, even as Williams' Week 1 numbers drift from that ceiling. The upcoming showdown with Detroit dwarfs the drama, raising the fantasy stakes around Williams' rushing upside and the offense's rhythm.

For fantasy managers, Williams' dual threat keeps upside intact, but must be weighed against the volatility of a young passer behind a developing supporting cast. If the Bears fix timing and target distribution, the 4,000/70% path stays alive; if not, Week 2 could intensify the conversation around role clarity and potential roster tinkering.

Falcons turn to Parker Romo for Week 2 at Minnesota after a week-long kicker battle left Younghoe Koo out for non-injury reasons. Romo, who connected on 11 of 12 FG with Minnesota last season, won the job through consistency, leg strength, and poise. Atlanta had dabbled with Krieg earlier, but Romo’s practice performance sealed the selection and shifts the Week 2 expectations in a game that could hinge on field goals.

Koo’s 2024 struggles (73.5% success) and a preseason showing around 92% influenced the decision, underscoring how every point matters and how quickly kicking jobs can change. Fantasy managers now pivot to Romo’s potential kick volume in a likely tight road matchup as Atlanta eyes critical points from the kicking unit.
