Player performance

Caleb Williams was the first overall pick of the 2024 NFL draft, so he replaced Justin Fields as the Chicago Bears‘ starting quarterback. Williams was drafted in fantasy drafts to be a borderline fantasy starter, which is unheard of for rookie quarterbacks unless there is tremendous rushing upside. For Williams, the difference was the situation.

Moore, and they added Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze.
