What happened: Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams rejoined the starting lineup last week after time missed with a hamstring injury. The 2024 No. 1 overall pick out of USC returned to direct Chicago's offense in the regular season.

Why it matters: Williams completed 330 of 568 passes for 3,942 yards with 27 touchdowns and 7 interceptions across 17 games in 2025. His presence sets Chicago's offensive baseline and settles the fantasy quarterback position for managers who waited through the absence.

What to watch: Chicago moves forward in the regular season with its starter back in place. Continued full participation will show how firmly the offense is back to normal.
