Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Caleb Williams

Wednesday, October 23, 11:01 AM

According to interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee, ankle, hamstring) is dealing with a multitude of injuries, as Jonathan Jones of CBS reported. Per ESPN's Rich Cimini, the 40-year-old veteran is listed as limited for Wednesday's team practice. Rodgers has dealt with ankle and knee injuries thus far in 2024, but the soft tissue issue is new. The QB's hamstring apparently "flared up" during New York's 37-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football. Fortunately, the sentiment around the team seems to be that it won't put his status at risk for Week 8. Still, fantasy managers may want to keep an eye on him over the coming days. The Jets will line up against the New England Patriots in a divisional clash this Sunday.

This Sunday, Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams showcased his best performance of the season against the Jacksonville Jaguars. In Week 6, he completed 23 of 29 passes for 226 yards and a career-high four touchdowns. After starting the game with two consecutive three-and-outs, Williams rebounded impressively, delivering some excellent throws in the red zone and making key plays as a scrambler. Although he threw one interception, it was one of the few missteps in an otherwise strong game. Additionally, Williams contributed 56 rushing yards on four carries, highlighting his dual-threat capability, which significantly boosts his fantasy value. Following a trip to London in Week 6, the Bears will enjoy a bye week, setting the stage for a highly anticipated matchup in Week 8 against the Commanders, featuring the top two picks of the 2024 NFL Draft.
