STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Williams' historic Week 1 efficiency and volume suggest sustained high-volume role.

Williams led the Bears to a historic 96-point Week 1 output (tied 12th all-time), with the offense running 19 plays from inside the Panthers' 20-yard line. His efficiency metrics improved significantly: 34.0 yards per drive (vs. 29.9 in 2025), 0.6 EPA per drive (vs. -0.2), and 44.4% third-down conversion rate (vs. 36.1%). Chicago pressured him on just nine dropbacks, and even after extending the lead to 21 points, HC Ben Johnson continued aggressive play-calling, suggesting Williams may not have the option to take his foot off the gas in high-volume, high-efficiency situations.
