Mattek drafted Caleb Williams at pick 63 in his best ball league-winner strategy, pairing him with Patrick Mahomes as part of a stack designed to maximize ceiling upside. Williams is included in a Bears stack for the best ball draft, indicating confidence in his role and production in a winner-take-all format where stacking is a key strategy. Mattek also takes Williams in round 7 to prevent opponents from stacking him with Rondale Moore; the Caleb Williams and Rondale Moore stack is Mattek's most drafted stack on Flock Fantasy with 91 teams, topping the Mahomes and Rice stack (62 teams).PositiveProjectionJul 14, 2026

Source considers Caleb Williams as a potential pick but opts not to take him, preferring to wait for other quarterback options like Kyler Murray later in the draft. In a 2v2 roster comparison, the source finds Caleb Williams and R.J. Harvey versus Byshell Tuitan and Jalen Hurts to be 'actually kind of close,' suggesting both quarterback options have comparable merit.PositiveValueMay 30, 2026
Caleb Williams is considered as a potential second elite QB option in Davis Mattek's double elite QB strategy, with Mattek stating 'either to get Burrow at pick 70 or the final of that elite tier be Caleb Williams, maybe it'll be Drake May.' Williams is part of the elite QB tier (top 7) that Mattek is targeting, and Mattek is hoping to secure one of these elite QBs in the second round to complete the double elite QB build. In the actual draft, Williams was drafted earlier (pick 66) by another team, forcing Mattek to pivot to Dak Prescott. Mattek considers taking Colston Loveland to enable a Caleb Williams stack, describing it as creating a 'whack job team' with 'insane' roster construction but noting it generated strong advance rates via the Flock tool.PositiveProjectionMay 23, 2026
Davis Mattek is 'bought into' Caleb Williams partly because of his historically significant sack rate improvement from year one to year two, which is rare and generally doesn't happen. This improvement in pass protection efficiency is a positive indicator for his fantasy outlook. While his ceiling is higher than Jalen Hurts' in terms of passing touchdown potential (45 TDs possible), he is appropriately priced at his current ADP, whereas Hurts is underpriced.PositiveValueMay 22, 2026
Caleb Williams is a primary draftable piece in Davis Mattek's Bears best ball stack in the Detroit-Chicago game (25.5-point implied total); Mattek identifies him as the quarterback anchor alongside Rome Odunze, Colston Loveland, D'Andre Swift, and Cole Kmet as the core Bears stack, noting the offense is very condensed with no other draftable players after this core group.PositiveProjectionMay 8, 2026
Mattek targets Caleb Williams as a secondary quarterback option for zero RB teams, hoping he returns in the next round after taking Jalen Hurts; securing two elite quarterbacks early allows deferring tight end and running back selections. Mattek would also love to stack Williams with Luther Burden, viewing any situation where he can get those two together as highly desirable in best ball construction.
