Caleb Williams’ 2025 weekly stat lines—predicting every game

Prognosticating season-long NFL statistics is a fool’s game. We rarely get it right.

Prognosticating week-by-week NFL statistics is sheer insanity. We never get it right.

Listen, you can bust out all the fancy-schmancy algorithms you want, but professional football games are predictably unpredictable—stuff like weather, and injuries, and lousy pre-game meals can render all the research in the world utterly useless—so it’s nutsy-cuckoo for anybody to drop a 1,100-word article of which the conceit is, “Here are Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams’ weekly numbers for the entire season.”

And it’s even sillier to do so before his team’s 53-man roster is anywhere close to finalized.

But we’re nothing if not silly, so we’re just gonna go ahead and guess how Caleb Williams’ 2025 box scores might look. (Spoiler alert: His total passing yardage in this thought exercise is absurd, for which I expect—and probably deserve—eye rolls galore.)
