QUARTERBACKS

Caleb Williams: Williams benefits from the trifecta of improvements in offensive coaching, protection and weapons. After completely revamping their interior offensive line in free agency, the Bears also used their first three draft picks on the offense — tight end Colston Loveland, wide receiver Luther Burden III, and offensive tackle Ozzy Trapilo. Williams is one of my favorite QB2 targets with upside when I don't draft a top-four option.

RUNNING BACKS

D'Andre Swift: Heading into the draft, the Bears were one of the teams that many projected to take a running back early. Chicago drafted a running back but not until the seventh round (Kyle Monangai, 233rd overall). Barring any trades that shake up this backfield, there is plenty of potential value to unlock by rostering Swift.

Roschon Johnson: While the duo of Swift and Roschon Johnson shouldn't be compared to Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, potential for both finish in the RB2/flex range in a Ben Johnson offense shouldn't be out of the question. Compared to his almost free ADP, Johnson already has plenty of upside. The first time Johnson coached Swift, he was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles after the team signed Montgomery and drafted Gibbs. Although I'm not suggested that Swift will get traded away, the point is that it's at least possible that someone other than Swift leads the backfield in 2025 (even if that's not the most likely scenario).

Kyle Monangai: Swift and Johnson were already on the roster with the previous front office and coaching staff. Granted, it wasn't until Round 7, but Monangai is the running back that the new regime has chosen. Given how productive Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery have been for Ben Johnson in Detroit, it's worth throwing a late-round dart on Monangai, who has earned some praise from Chicago's new head coach. Johnson recently said that he's "been very pleased with where" Monangai is at and that "he's a guy that we're going to be able to trust this fall."

WIDE RECEIVERS

DJ Moore: Moore posted a career high in receptions (98) in 2024 while posting career lows in yards per reception (9.9), yards per target (6.9) and ADOT (7.5). In fact, those numbers are much lower than his non-2024 career averages — 14.3 Y/R, 8.7 Y/TGT and 11.4 ADOT. With second-year improvements from Caleb Williams as well as improved coaching and play calling, we should see better overall numbers from Moore in 2025.

Rome Odunze: There were a lot of reasons to buy Odunze heading into 2024, even though he fell short of expectations. Going into 2025, it's still my goal to be overweight Odunze. Ben Johnson has appreciated the second-year receiver's work ethic and approach. Johnson previously said of Odunze, "the way he approaches the meeting room, the walk-throughs, the on-field, the drill work, it's very much like a seasoned pro, some of the best that I've been around."

TIGHT ENDS

Colston Loveland: In a draft class with two elite tight ends, Loveland was viewed as a more talented pass catcher even by most who viewed Tyler Warren as a better all-around prospect. Ben Johnson has compared Loveland to Sam LaPorta, who led all tight ends in fantasy points as a rookie in 2023. A TE1 overall fantasy season shouldn't be expected from Loveland, but there is plenty of upside.
