If Williams Misses Time
Next man up: Case Keenum
Case Keenum is next on the Bears depth chart at quarterback. In superflex leagues he's worth a speculative bench spot for Williams managers; in 1QB leagues he's a waiver add only if Williams misses time.
Who else it affects
A quarterback change matters most for Luther Burden and Kalif Raymond, his two most-targeted pass catchers this season.
