Williams completed 10 of 24 passes for 131 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 18-15 loss to the Commanders. He added 10 rushes for 41 yards.

EDGE Analysis

After several strong performances in a row, Williams was unable to find a rhythm in Sunday's loss. He was consistently under pressure and was arguably harmed by the team's run-heavy offensive scheme early in the game, as he attempted only eight passes at the half as opposed to 18 team rushing attempts. While his fantasy performance remained underwhelming, it was positive to see Williams lead two effective drives late in the fourth quarter, highlighted by long completions of 27 and 22 yards to DJ Moore and Keenan Allen, respectively. The offensive line and scheme could continue to hamper Williams, but he showed signs of promise even in a relatively poor performance.

Williams completed 23 of 29 passes for 226 yards with four touchdowns and one interception in the Bears' 35-16 win over the Jaguars on Sunday in London. He also rushed four times for 56 yards.

EDGE Analysis

Williams turned in his most efficient showing as a pro yet across the pond, completing a career-high 79.3 percent of his passes while connecting with seven targets. He struck early and often, hitting Cole Kmet from 31 and two yards out in the second quarter for his first pair of scoring tosses before doing the same with Keenan Allen in the second half on passes of nine and three yards. After a lackluster start to his highly anticipated NFL career, Williams has now posted a 9:2 TD:INT over his last four games while clearing 300 yards in a pair of those contests. The rookie first overall pick and his teammates will next face the Commanders on the road in a Week 8 road matchup following a Week 7 bye.

Williams completed 20 of 29 passes for 304 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 36-10 win over the Panthers. He added five rushing attempts for 34 yards.

EDGE Analysis

Williams accumulated 200 first-half passing yards, including touchdown passes of 34 and 30 yards to DJ Moore, as the Bears took a 27-7 lead into the locker room. The mobile rookie quarterback had a one-yard touchdown run nullified by a penalty in the third quarter, so he's still looking for his first career score on the ground, but Williams has tossed five passing TDs in his last three games after failing to produce one across his first two NFL starts. Williams will have a nice opportunity to keep rolling in Week 6, when the Bears face the 1-4 Jaguars in London.

Williams completed 17 of 23 passes for 157 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions and rushed five times for 12 yards in the Bears' 24-18 win over the Rams on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Williams' 73.9 percent completion rate was his best yet over his first four games, but his passing yardage total was only better than the paltry 93 he generated during his NFL debut against the Titans in Week 1. The rookie first overall pick did record his long-awaited first scoring connection with DJ Moore, hitting the veteran wideout from nine yards out late in the third quarter to extend the Bears' lead to 17-9 at the time. Williams did bounce back from consecutive multi-turnover performances as well by remaining free of any miscues, an encouraging sign as he heads into a favorable Week 5 home matchup against the Panthers next Sunday.

Williams, Cole Kmet and Gerald Everett met with Bears offensive coordinator Shane Waldron to express their frustration with the play-calling, Fox's Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

It's been frustrating to say the least for the Bears' offense. They can't run the ball, and Williams has been under pressure constantly.

Williams completed 33 of 52 passes for 363 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions in Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie quarterback tossed his first two career touchdowns to Rome Odunze and Cole Kmet, with both coming in the fourth quarter as the Bears tried to rally from a 14-3 deficit. Williams' production was very encouraging after he struggled in the first two games of the season, but Chicago's offensive line remains an issue, as he got sacked four times, losing a fumble on one. His interceptions were also very poorly timed, as one came right after an Anthony Richardson pick and the other came on the play immediately after a Bears punt was erased by a Colts penalty. Williams' growing pains will likely continue in Week 4 against the Rams, but the first overall pick in the 2024 Draft is beginning to flash his ceiling as well.

Williams completed 23 of 37 pass attempts for 174 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 19-13 loss to the Texans. He was sacked seven times and added 44 rushing yards on five attempts.

EDGE Analysis

Williams improved in some facets following his underwhelming debut against the Titans in Week 1. The first-overall pick from this year's draft matched upstart sophomore C.J. Stroud in terms of completions in the primetime loss, but the latter had far more success on a per-attempt basis. Williams was expected to go through growing pains as a first-year starter, but there have been minimal positives to point to through two games to justify starting him in standard fantasy formats. There should be better days ahead for Williams and a loaded Bears supporting cast, potentially starting with a Week 3 matchup against the 0-2 Colts.

Williams completed 14 of 29 passes for 93 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans. He added five rushes for 15 yards.

EDGE Analysis

Williams was victorious in his pro debut, thanks primarily to both a special teams and a defensive touchdown. He failed to get anything going in either half, though he did show rapport with DJ Moore by completing passes of 13, 12 and 11 yards. Also positive was the fact that Williams didn't have any turnovers, avoiding mistakes that could cost his team the game. That said, he'll likely need to get the offense moving better to come away victorious in Week 2 against Houston.

Coach Matt Eberflus said Tuesday that Williams and the majority of starters will not suit up for Thursday's road exhibition finale against Kansas City, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams has flashed a handful of highlight-reel plays across two preseason showings thus far, and the Bears don't need to see any more from the 2024 first overall pick ahead of the regular season. During Saturday's game against the Bengals, Williams completed just six of 13 passes for 75 yards, including going three-and-out against a Cincinnati defense that sat a significant number of starters. He rebounded well though, leading Chicago to a field goal and then scoring a seven-yard rushing TD on his fifth and final drive. Williams will look to make the most of his regular-season debut in Week 1 against the Titans, with a star-studded cast of skill-position players at his disposal. WRs DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze, RB D'Andre Swift, and TEs Cole Kmet and Gerald Everett represent a pass-catching corps capable of helping Williams make an immediate impact at the NFL level.

Williams completed six of 13 passes for 75 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Bengals, adding a seven-yard TD run on a scramble.

EDGE Analysis

The Bears went three-and-out on their first three drives despite using most of their starters against what was mostly the Bengals' second-string defense. Williams then produced a field goal on his fourth drive with the help of a pass-interference penalty, and on the fifth drive he made a trio of spectacular plays to finally get the Bears into the end zone. He already has an impressive highlight reel of difficult throws on the run after seven total drives in two preseason appearances, immediately showing off what many scouts considered to be his best trait. The question now is whether Williams can efficiently direct the Chicago offense so that his scrambles and high-difficulty throws are the dressing rather than the meat and potatoes. He was able to do that for both Oklahoma and USC in college, and he'll certainly have the necessary pass catchers at his disposal in Chicago, working with a deep group led by WRs DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze.
