Caleb Williams is on track to start Sunday’s game against the Falcons after being listed as a full practice participant for a second straight day, according to Adam Schefter. The Bears also appear likely to be without running back Kyle Monangi, who is expected to miss his second straight game.

What happened

Williams was listed as a full participant in practice for a second straight day. He had previously missed the last three games with a hamstring injury, but returned to practice as a limited participant last Friday.

Context

Through five weeks, Williams has played in two games and has 46.0 PPR points, 407 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, one interception, 107 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. He is the Bears’ QB1.

Timeline

  • October 15 — Williams was listed as a full practice participant, based on a walk-through, and appeared on track to return Sunday against Atlanta.
  • October 9 — Williams returned to practice in a limited capacity and was officially questionable for the Week 5 game against the Packers. He later missed that game.

Depth chart

Case Keenum is the Bears’ QB2 and has 26.2 PPR points, 355 passing yards, two passing touchdowns and one interception across three games. Tyson Bagent is QB3 with 15.2 PPR points, 409 passing yards and three interceptions in three games.

What’s next

Williams and the Bears face the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, October 18.

It also looks as if Bears RB Kyle Monangi will miss his second straight game. [Quoting @AdamSchefter: "For a second straight day, Bears QB Caleb Williams was listed as a full participant in practice, putting him on track to start Sunday’s game against the Falcons."]

🏈 Fantasy impact

With Williams trending toward starting, he can be slotted back into lineups as a QB1 this week. He has QB1 upside and his projected 17.5 PPR points makes him a low-end QB1/high-end QB2 option. His dual-threat ability gives him a solid floor against the Falcons. If he suffers a setback, Case Keenum would be the next man up and is not a recommended streaming option. Kyle Monangi’s expected absence may increase passing volume for Williams.
