The Chicago Bears are understandably incredibly high on the potential of Caleb Williams when it comes to expected 2026 results. Much of this was built on watching Williams deliver when the game mattered most and understanding the magic the quarterback could work as he continued to get comfortable in Ben Johnson's offense. Heading into year two, there is reason to expect a boom in production that will not only translate into wins but also a higher fantasy football value.
Sleeper NFL recently noted that Caleb Williams is currently the QB9 in fantasy drafts. Is that…
TOO HIGH, TOO LOW, JUST RIGHT?" It is a fair question that has an obvious answer, with there not being eight quarterbacks in the league that have the possible fantasy upside of Williams. Part of what held back Williams a season ago was a lack of knowing a new offense as well as continuing to take needed development steps.
There is a reason to expect a boom in production that will result in higher fantasy scoring and gives clear upside as a potential top-five scoring option at the position. Williams can make every possible NFL throw, as well as having untapped potential as a rusher. This makes the potential pick in upcoming fantasy drafts clearly compelling.
Bears Quarterback Caleb Williams not Properly Valued in Upcoming Fantasy Drafts
Williams could be utilized a bit more as a rusher now that D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai have gained so much attention as a rushing duo. Utilizing the legs of the quarterback to keep the opposing defense off balance is a great option, as well as the clear passing opportunities that it opens up. As Chicago continues to gain trust in Williams, there will be a heavier focus on the pass as well, generating more numbers.
This isn't to say that Williams is going to be the top scorer at the position, as the current rushing situation makes this unlikely. Still, the immense talent and exciting upside make the pick a potential bargain as long as Williams stays out of the top five at the position.
Bears fans will enjoy having an additional reason to cheer for the quarterback and pay close attention to the box score. Williams is unquestionably being undervalued, with the hype around the quarterback continuing to build and likely soon impacting a fantasy price that currently doesn't reflect his ability. No question, Williams is being underrated and is a great selection for fans looking to add their quarterback in the draft's later rounds.
