Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Caleb Williams

Tuesday, December 16, 12:30 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 23 of 27 passes for 224 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 28-15 win over the Miami Dolphins. The 42-year-old signal-caller completed 85.2% of his passes, the second-highest in a game of his storied career. Rodgers and the Steelers' offense got off to a slow start with punts on their first three drives, but then they found the end zone on four consecutive drives en route to a dominant win. The veteran peppered running back Kenneth Gainwell with seven underneath targets to pick up easy yardage, then threw touchdown passes on back-to-back drives to former Green Bay Packers teammate Marquez Valdes-Scantling on the opening drive of the second half and D.K. Metcalf on the ensuing possession. Rodgers has put together two of his best games of the season in the past two weeks and will look to stay hot next week against the Detroit Lions on the road. It won't be an easy matchup, but Rodgers should be forced to throw plenty in a game with shootout potential.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams' passing volume remained a concern in Week 14, completing just 19 passes for 186 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in the 28-21 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Williams hasn't completed over 20 passes since Week 8, and his completion percentage of 57.8% ranks 33rd out of qualified quarterbacks. With a lack of volume, Williams will continue to be an inconsistent fantasy option moving forward. The matchup in Week 15 presents problems as well, as the Cleveland Browns have allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. The winter conditions in Chicago are likely to be a factor as well, with single-digit temperatures expected and winds exceeding 25 mph. Williams is a risky start in Week 15, as he presents much more risk in this game than in past matchups.
