"What stands out the most about Williams' career accuracy numbers is that the problems are particularly pronounced when throwing outside the numbers. He actually is roughly average when throwing between the numbers, with a 0% CPOE since the start of last season. But outside the numbers, that drops to minus-4%. And his 28% off-target rate outside the numbers is outdone only by Colts QB Anthony Richardson Sr."
"In general, this actually makes me slightly more bullish on Chicago because of Williams' new coach. No team threw more between the numbers last season than Ben Johnson's Lions. But facing Detroit's defense might not be the ideal matchup. The Lions faced throws between the numbers only 46% of the time last season, the third-lowest rate in the league. We don't yet know if the Lions will deter middle-of-the-f"
Quarterback Will Levis (Williams) showed significant accuracy problems in Week 1, including a 29% off-target rate and -13% CPOE, with pronounced struggles when throwing outside the numbers. Accuracy between the numbers has been roughly average, while outside-the-numbers performance drops to -4% and a 28% off-target rate, trailing only Anthony Richardson Sr. Ben Johnson's Lions historically throw between the numbers most often, yet Detroit's defense saw just 46% of such throws last season. Additional focal points include under-rostered fantasy options, potential Week 2 surprises, a single key matchup to watch, and a favorite betting pick.
