However, was used more vertically downfield as a true number-one receiver in the second half of the season, running legitimate receiver routes rather than dump-off/run-after-catch plays, and was the second-best tight end from week nine onward. Could be Caleb Williams' favorite target under Ben Johnson's offense, suggesting ceiling upside with bigger games (e.g., 130-yard performances). Uncertainty exists around how the Bears' offense will look with Roma Dunze, Luther Burden, and Loveland all healthy, and Caleb Williams' volatility adds risk.
