The Story in 60 Seconds

Brad Berreman of Bear Goggles On argues that the Chicago Bears urgently need starting quarterback Caleb Williams to return following a 31-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Williams, who has missed the past three games, is reportedly on track to return in Week 6 against the Atlanta Falcons after backup Tyson Bagent struggled extensively at Lambeau Field.

Citing Fantasy Points Data via CBS Sports, the writer highlights that only half of the 20 total targets thrown to Rome Odunze, Colston Loveland, and Luther Burden were deemed catchable. Berreman argues that Bagent made life difficult for the receivers and suggests Case Keenum should start if Williams cannot play.
