Williams did not live up to the lofty expectations that came with being the No. 1 pick in last year’s draft. But considering the headwind he faced, it’s perhaps a positive he finished QB16 in fantasy. Williams was sacked 68 times (the most since David Carr in 2005), and although he held the ball too long at times and ran into sacks other times, the Bears offensive line was a shambles all season. What’s more, Keenan Allen looked old, fellow rookie Rome Odunze was inconsistent at best, and the gameplan was so poor that offensive coordinator Shane Waldron got fired midseason. Williams was extremely inefficient — 7.9-yard average target depth (16th) but only a 6.3 YPA (33rd) thanks to a 67.3 percent on-target rate (34th) — and was one of the league’s worst deep-ball passers too, with a 23.5 completion percentage on 20-plus yard attempts (and five INTs). Avoiding interceptions, especially on shorter throws, was one of his few strong points. After throwing four picks in the first three weeks, he went the rest of the season with just two. The Bears devoted their offseason to helping Williams, first by hiring Lions offensive guru Ben Johnson as head coach. The team then remade the O-Line by trading for All-Pro LG Joe Thuney and RG Jonah Jackson, signing top free-agent center Drew Dalman and drafting 6-8 RT Ozzy Trapilo in the second round. The Bears also drafted TE Colston Loveland 10th overall and WR Luther Burden 39th overall, giving them a deep group of playmakers with the rookies joining Odunze, WR DJ Moore and TE Cole Kmet. Now it’s up to Williams to do his part.

The No. 1 pick in this year’s draft, Williams heads to the Bears as the franchise quarterback. The same was expected of Justin Fields three years ago, but Fields, who was traded to Pittsburgh in March, never had the talent with which the Bears have surrounded Williams. Eight picks after Williams, the Bears drafted Rome Odunze, a 6-3 wideout with 4.45 speed. He joins holdover DJ Moore and trade acquisition Keenan Allen, giving the Bears one of the league’s better WR rooms. The Bears also signed D’Andre Swift, a good pass catcher out of the backfield, and return TE Cole Kmet, who had 11 red-zone TD receptions the last two seasons (second among TEs to Travis Kelce). New offensive coordinator Shane Waldron didn’t exactly turn heads as Seattle’s OC the last few years, but it should go better than what the Bears had last season. At 6-1, 215, Williams can torch defenses from the pocket with his elite arm and also has the mobility to make plays outside the pocket, throwing with nearly as much accuracy and velocity on the move. If Williams has a fault, it’s that he sometimes holds the ball too long in hopes of a big play, thereby inviting trouble. Even then, though, his scrambling ability adds to his fantasy upside. Chicago is the only franchise without a 4,000-yard passer in its history. Williams should finally change that.
