ADVICE

Temper Caleb Williams Hype

  • Treat Caleb Williams' strong preseason outing as promising but not definitive for rankings.
  • Move supporting Bears pieces up or down based on practice film and offensive line performance.
ADVICE

Prioritize QB Stability For WR Value

  • Prefer Amon-Ra St. Brown over Puka Nacua in full PPR while Stafford's availability is uncertain.
  • Adjust receiver rank because quarterback injuries change target reliability quickly.
INSIGHT

Fields' Upside Versus Passing Risk

  • Justin Fields' rushing upside still offers elite ceiling despite passing concerns.
  • But limited passing weapons and poor preseason passing performance make him riskier in standard rankings.
