Caleb Williams is a 2024 fantasy football draft sleeper at quarterback and an ADP draft value. Target Caleb Williams as an undervalued QB in fantasy football drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~103 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~108
ANALYSIS: Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has been one of the most talked about prospects since the 2022 college season. That year saw Williams total 4,537 pass yards, 42 touchdowns, 382 rush yards, and 10 rushing touchdowns en route to winning the Heisman.
While his 2023 campaign at USC wasn't as strong -- throwing for 3,633 yards and 30 touchdowns -- he was going to be the first overall pick.
Luckily, he landed in one of the best quarterback spots by a rookie in NFL history. Throwing passes to DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, and fellow rookie Rome Odunze immediately boosts Williams' fantasy value in Year 1. That's why he is a quarterback who should make an immediate impact in his first season.
Williams also looked solid in his first preseason action against the Buffalo Bills. He completed 4-of-7 passes for 95 yards while rushing once for 13 yards across two drives. Yes, it is only the preseason, and fantasy managers should take games like this with a grain of salt. But the rookie's talent was obviously on display.
Caleb Williams is just a natural. First real NFL throw on a 3rd & long to the left? No problem. This throw below - which he made look easy - is Mahomes/Allen stuff. pic.twitter.com/tAoVbasGW8

As a result, we could see the Bears quarterback finish as a borderline top-12 fantasy quarterback in 2024. He has the weapons around him to succeed, and he has some rushing potential as well.
In his final two college seasons at USC, Williams totaled 21 rushing touchdowns. Be patient with the rookie quarterback in fantasy throughout the first half of the season because there are going to be some up-and-down weeks.
However, managers should expect him to take off as the season progresses and he could end up a steal at his current ADP if things break the right way.
