Who Should I Start? Brock Purdy or Caleb Williams

Wednesday, November 20, 4:07 PM

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) was limited during Wednesday's practice, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. The 24-year-old quarterback suffered an injury in his throwing shoulder during last Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his progress throughout the week, but seeing him participate in practice early in the week is a promising sign of his availability this coming weekend. Even though Purdy threw for a season-low 159 yards last weekend, fantasy managers should still view him as a solid low-end QB1 heading into Week 12 facing the Green Bay Packers as he has averaged a strong 27.0 PPR points per game during Weeks 6 through 10.

This Sunday, Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams faced a tough test against the Green Bay Packers in Week 11. While Williams showed flashes of his potential, it was still a mixed performance. He completed 23 of 31 passes for 231 yards but, once again, failed to find the end zone, extending his streak without a passing touchdown. On a positive note, Williams added 70 rushing yards his highest total of the season showing off his mobility and ability to make plays with his legs. The recent change at offensive coordinator, with Thomas Brown replacing Shane Waldron, seemed to spark a slight resurgence in the Bears' offense. However, despite Williams' improvements, his inability to score touchdowns keeps him relegated to QB2 in fantasy leagues. The Bears won't have much time to regroup as they welcome the tough Minnesota Vikings to Soldier Field next Sunday. Minnesota's defense, led by Brian Flores, will present another significant challenge for the young quarterback.
