Fantasy Life Articles on Caleb Williams
From the article
How can you not be bullish on Williams at the moment? Their offense was ridiculously efficient in Week 1, and Williams was a massive part of it. He racked up 269 yards and two touchdowns through the air and added another 65 yards and two scores on the ground. He ultimately finished with 37.3 fantasy points, making him the highest-scorer in Week 1 regardless of position.
STACKED’s take
Williams' elite Week 1 (37.3 pts) conflicts with QB11 projection due to Vikings blitz concerns.
Williams scored 37.3 fantasy points in Week 1 (269 passing yards, 2 passing TDs, 65 rushing yards, 2 rushing TDs), the highest score regardless of position. Despite this elite performance, he's ranked QB11 in Week 2 projections (17.3 points) while all expert rankers have him at QB8 or higher, with Kendall Valenzuela ranking him as high as QB4. The discrepancy is driven by matchup concerns: the Vikings blitzed on 55 of 67 plays in Week 1, and while Williams trailed only Lamar Jackson in EPA per play against the blitz last season, he was mediocre in two matchups vs. Minnesota last year, averaging 201.5 passing yards per game with just two total touchdowns (one passing, one rushing). Still fair to be bullish on Williams for the season despite tempering expectations for this specific matchup.
