What does Caleb Williams' injury 'meme' for the Bears star?

The Athletic ran a column on Caleb Williams swinging from MVP talk to punchline in the space of a week, following a 40.0-point Week 1 and a 10.1-point Week 2. Williams is listed as Out ahead of a home matchup with Philadelphia.

The column is about narrative velocity, not about your lineup; the word that matters here is Out. Williams is rostered in 100% of the field with a 338.9-point season projection, so nobody is cutting him over two weeks of mood swings. Chicago are 3.0-point underdogs in a 44.5-point total anyway, which is not the game you were desperate to start him in. Start a healthy quarterback and hold Williams. If your bench has no room for him, your bench has bigger problems.
