Caleb Williams Can Easily Rewrite the Chicago Bears Passing Record Book

By

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is poised to be the next big thing, but we say that about every player who gets selected first overall in the NFL Draft.

The likes of Chris Johnson, Ryan Mathews and Philip Rivers will all be on your fantasy bench this week, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of quality options. There are a few runners who will impress this week and are still available on waiver wires, and a couple passers who … [Read more...] about Week 6 Fantasy Football Rankings: QB/RB

We’re three weeks into the fantasy football season and the surprises just keep on coming. Cam Newton and Matthew Stafford are top-10 fantasy quarterbacks. Coe College alum Fred Jackson is the third best fantasy back. And how about Scott Chandler, who had one catch before this year, picking up four scores in the first three weeks. But much like business, it’s not what you did … [Read more...] about Week 4 Fantasy Football Rankings: Put up or shut up
