• Bears' Caleb Williams: QBs to Start

  7H ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Williams (hamstring) appears on track to return in Week 6 at Atlanta after missing the past three games, and I'm willing to trust him as a top-10 Fantasy quarterback in all leagues if he's healthy. He scored 41.3 Fantasy points in his lone complete game in Week 1 against Carolina, and the Falcons are No. 9 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Bryce Young, Jordan Love and Tyler Huntley each scored at least 22.5 Fantasy points against Atlanta in three of the past four games, and Williams will hopefully have no restrictions with his mobility. He's rushed 107 yards and two touchdowns in his two appearances so far this season before getting hurt in Week 2 against Minnesota.

• Bears' Caleb Williams: Listed as full practice participant Wednesday

  15H ago • By RotoWire

  Bears head coach Ben Johnson said that Williams (hamstring) will listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports. Chicago is holding a walkthrough to begin Week 6 prep, but Williams' full listing on the injury report is a positive indicator that Johnson is preparing for him to start Sunday in Atlanta. Assuming Williams experiences no setbacks in his recovery from a Grade 2 right hamstring strain while practicing throughout the week, he should get the green light to return to action against the Falcons following a three-game absence. Chicago has gone 2-1 without their top quarterback over the past three weeks, with Tyson Bagent directing the offense for two of those contests and Case Keenum starting the other.

• Bears' Caleb Williams: Johnson unclear on return for QB

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Head coach Ben Johnson wouldn't commit to a return date for Williams (hamstring) after Sunday's loss at Green Bay, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports. "He's on track. We'll see if that's Atlanta or after," Johnson said. "I think it's going to be close." Prior to Williams being deemed inactive for a third straight game due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that the quarterback is "pushing to play" next weekend against the Falcons, and the fact he was able to complete a pregame workout backed up that sentiment. Johnson's comments afterward keeps the situation in some limbo for the time being, but the combined play of Tyson Bagent and Case Keenum on Sunday could spur the Bears to turn back to Williams after a second defeat in the last four contests.

• Bears' Caleb Williams: Another absence in Week 5

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Williams (hamstring) is listed as inactive Sunday in Green Bay. Despite his standing this weekend, Williams appears to be trending in the right direction after being limited at Friday's practice and entering the weekend listed as questionable for Week 5 action. He'll miss his third game in a row due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain, but Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported Sunday morning that Williams is aiming to return in Week 6 versus the Falcons, and he even put in a pregame workout before this Sunday's game, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune. Tyson Bagent again will get the start in place of Williams, with Case Keenum backing him up.

• Bears' Caleb Williams: Eyeing Week 6 return

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Williams (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Green Bay but isn't expected to suit up, is "pushing to play" Week 6 against the Falcons, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Back on Monday, head coach Ben Johnson announced that Tyson Bagent would start against the Packers, but the Bears elected not to rule Williams out for Week 5 entirely. Williams -- who has missed the Bears' last two games due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain -- made a surprise return to practice Friday as a limited participant before he was given a questionable tag heading into the weekend. While he still isn't expected to be anything more than an emergency No. 3 quarterback behind Bagent and Case Keenum in Week 5, Williams' return to practice gives him a decent shot at returning to the starting role against Atlanta.
