Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Caleb Williams

Wednesday, September 18, 6:37 PM

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has thrown for 343 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception through the first two games of the season but has yet to throw for more than 176 passing yards in a contest. He will look to change that at home against the New England Patriots in Week 3's Thursday night game. The Patriots have been tough against opposing quarterbacks through two games, having allowed just one passing touchdown thus far. That being said, Rodgers is a talented enough quarterback to overcome difficult matchups but he still settles in as a mid-range QB2 heading into Week 3.

Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams had a promising start in Houston on Sunday but struggled in the second half. The No. 1 overall pick was impressive early, completing all five passes for 55 yards on the Bears' opening drive, including two notable third-down completions to DeAndre Carter and DJ Moore. Williams finished the first half with 12 completions on 15 attempts for 91 yards, but frequent mistakes by the Bears undermined his performance. The team had four false starts and a delay of game right after a TV timeout, failed to convert a third-and-1 with a quarterback sneak, and barely managed a fourth-and-inches conversion from the shotgun. The rookie also threw interceptions on consecutive drives in the second half, compounding the challenges. Despite these issues, Williams and the Bears had a chance to win with 1:37 left on the clock. Williams connected with Rome Odunze for a 27-yard gain on the first play of the drive, but two plays later, Danielle Hunter sacked him for an eight-yard loss, and a fourth-down pass to Odunze fell incomplete after a miscommunication. Williams ended the game with 23 completions on 37 attempts for 174 yards and two interceptions. With seven sacks and frequent pressure, Williams was forced into hurried throws and poor decisions. Until the Bears' offense improves, Williams is not a viable starting fantasy quarterback.
