Many of the NFL's high-profile rookies struggled in Week 10, with their opponents adjusting to their talents and tendencies.
Some had nice days, though, and we continue to track their development, PFF grades and principal opponents.
Pick No. 1: Chicago Bears: QB Caleb Williams
Overall Rookie Grade: 60.1 (Rank: 4/5)
Principal Opponent: N/A
Week 10 Snaps: 60
Week 10 Grade: 54.5
Williams and the Bears’ offense completely stalled out against New England. The foremost concern is a lack of explosiveness exhibited by the fact that Williams did not complete a pass that traveled at least 10 yards in the air. The Patriots were also unafraid of Chicago’s big-name weapons and played a lot of man coverage. In response, Williams completed just seven of his 17 passes into such coverage. Williams and the Bears will need to be substantially better with the toughest part of their schedule coming up.
