Caleb Williams tops Week 1 as one Bears-Panthers shootout fills four top-10 spots

Caleb Williams needed one game to set the bar for the 2026 season. The Bears quarterback scored 37.3 PPR points in a 59–37 win at Carolina, the most of Week 1, and held off Josh Allen by 1.6.

He had plenty of company. That one game put four players into the week's top 10, on a weekend when it took 32.4 points just to make the cut.

Four from one shootout

Williams did it with his arm and his legs. He went 21 of 29 for 269 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions, then ran 10 times for 65 yards and two more scores. Four touchdowns, two of them rushing, is the kind of quarterback line that wins fantasy weeks on its own.

D'Andre Swift handled the rest of Chicago's damage. He ran 18 times for 124 yards and three touchdowns, good for 32.4 points and 10th place. The losing side kept pace on the board. Bryce Young threw for 361 yards and three touchdowns, ran one in, and also landed at 32.4 despite an interception.

Jalen Coker was the best of the Carolina group. He caught 8 of 9 targets for 138 yards and two scores, with a long of 51, for 33.8 points and fifth place. Add it up and four players from one game combined for 135.9 points.

Allen's quarter, Williams's afternoon

The Sunday early window decided the top spot. Allen produced the biggest single quarter of the week, 23.4 points in the second, and still couldn't take the lead from Williams. After a quiet third quarter, Williams sat at 30.9. His fourth touchdown pushed him to 37.3, and nobody caught him after that.

Allen finished at 35.7 in a 36–31 win at Houston. He went 20 of 29 for 334 yards and two touchdowns, then ran for two more scores on six carries. Across the field, David Montgomery scored three times, twice on the ground and once through the air, and finished 13th with 28.9.

The same window produced Derrick Henry's 35.3, third for the week, on 24 carries for 144 yards and three touchdowns in a 41–23 win at Indianapolis. Then Detroit and New Orleans went to overtime, and Jahmyr Gibbs climbed to fifth at the time with 33.6. He carried 29 times for 156 yards and two scores and caught all five of his targets in a 31–30 win. Amon-Ra St. Brown added 28.7 on 10 catches, while Chris Olave put up 182 receiving yards without a touchdown and still scored 28.2 in the loss.

The late windows chase the board

Christian Watson opened Sunday late with 17.1 and reached 30.1 by halftime, enough to jump into the top 10. He finished at 32.7 on six catches for 147 yards and two touchdowns, one of them an 81-yarder, even as Green Bay lost 39–22 at Minnesota. Justin Jefferson scored twice for the Vikings and came in 12th at 31.2.

Ashton Jeanty caught Watson. He scored 15.6 points in the third quarter alone and tied him at 32.7, running 23 times for 102 yards and catching all six targets for 45 yards and two touchdowns in a 27–13 win over Miami.

Sunday night didn't move the top 10. Isaiah Likely led that window with 27.8 and came up short. Monday night did move it. Kenneth Walker III scored 12.7 in the third quarter and finished at 34.1, fourth for the week, on 173 rushing yards with a 60-yard long plus a receiving touchdown in a 31–10 win over Denver.

The early windows never threatened the top. Jaxon Smith-Njigba led the Wednesday night opener with 26.2, and Brock Purdy's third touchdown in Melbourne got him to 22.1.

A deep week at the top

Twelve players reached 30 points and 35 reached 20. Running backs took five of the 10 spots. Bijan Robinson missed the list with 31.3, built on eight catches for 90 yards, in a 20–13 loss at Pittsburgh.

Williams sits at the top with 37.3, and that's the mark the rest of the league chases into Week 2.
