Outlook Caleb Williams
Caleb Williams at Atlanta — Poised to Return in Shootout Spot
After missing three games with a hamstring tear, Williams logged consecutive full practices this week and is tracking to return Sunday against the Falcons, pending final medical clearance. Chicago's offense desperately missed his dynamic presence, and getting him back under center instantly raises the ceiling for weapons like Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III.
Williams faces an Atlanta defense in an indoor matchup boasting serious shootout potential. Our weekly projection targets 16.8 fantasy points, forecasting approximately 222 passing yards and 1.5 passing touchdowns. While fantasy managers have steadily boosted his start rate back up to 33%, his limited mobility post-injury makes him a risky fantasy option. Check back before kickoff for final active confirmation.

Outlook Sam Darnold
Sam Darnold travels to Denver for a challenging road matchup
Fully past the early-season glute injury, Darnold leads Seattle's offense into Denver. Seattle’s coaching staff recently adjusted the playbook to focus on swift decisions and curtail turnovers after Darnold tossed five interceptions across his four appearances this year. Surrounded by reliable targets like Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp, Darnold maintains solid passing volume.
From a fantasy perspective, Darnold profiles as a streaming option rather than an automatic start, rostered in 53% of leagues and started in 18%. Our weekly projection estimates 217 passing yards and 1.4 passing scores against a disciplined Broncos defense in an expected low-scoring contest. He is best viewed as a mid-tier QB2 or superflex play this week.
