Ben Johnson Coaching Caleb Williams Hard

Monday, June 23, 6:04 PM

The Athletic's Adam Jahns writes that Chicago Bears new head coach Ben Johnson is challenging second-year quarterback Caleb Williams every day about everything and is coaching him hard, which should be a good thing for his development going into his second NFL season. Johnson's fiery, demanding persona stood out on the practice field during the offseason program, and it's expected to continue into training camp this summer. The 23-year-old was sacked a league-high 68 times while throwing for 3,541 yards, 20 touchdowns and six interceptions in 17 starts after being the first overall pick in last year's draft. He also rushed for 489 yards. Fantasy managers should give the USC product a pass after the Bears fired their head coach and offensive coordinator midway through Williams' rookie season. With Johnson now running the offense and plenty of weapons at his disposal, Williams should take a step forward in 2025.

Bo Nix News

Drew Brees Mentored Bo Nix this Offseason

Wednesday, July 23, 3:25 PM

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix spent time learning from future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees this offseason, according to head coach Sean Payton. Brees spent 15 seasons with Payton during their time with the New Orleans Saints, leading the NFL in passing seven times, collecting five All-Pro honors, and winning Super Bowl XLIV. Needless to say, Brees could be a valuable mentor for Nix, who is heading into his second NFL season after a fantastic first year in Denver by way of the University of Oregon. Nix started in all 17 of the Broncos' games last year, passing for 3,775 yards, 29 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. He led the organization to its first playoff appearance since Peyton Manning led the team to a Super Bowl 50 victory. Nix has plenty of fantasy football upside thanks to his rushing skill set, and becoming a more polished passer could put him on track to be a consistent fantasy football QB1.
