Chicago Bears Fantasy Football Projections 2026: Caleb Williams, Swift/Monangai, Rome Odunze, Loveland & the Luther Burden Debate
In episode 11 of VS Fantasy Football, Bradley Stalder breaks down his 2026 Chicago Bears fantasy projections and explains why he’s lower than market on Caleb Williams (QB13 vs QB6), citing skepticism about accuracy gains, a balanced run/pass approach, and a tougher first-place schedule; he projects ~60% completions, ~3,700 yards, 26–27 TDs, and rushing production. He likes D’Andre Swift (RB18) with 222 carries, 1,000+ yards and 8.5 TDs, and views Kyle Monangai (RB32) as an efficient complementary back. He’s bullish on Rome Odunze (WR13) and Colson Loveland (TE3), while strongly cautioning against drafting Luther Burden at his ADP despite projecting a jump to WR34. He also notes smaller roles for Kalif Raymond, Xavien Thomas, and Cole Kmet.
