Who Should I Start? Caleb Williams or Cameron Ward

Saturday, October 25, 11:12 AM

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is coming off his worst game of the season, completing 15 of 26 passes for 172 yards and one interception in a Week 7 win over the New Orleans Saints. Despite the rough passing performance, the Bears controlled the game on the ground, and Williams' overall season remains solid. Through seven games, the second-year signal-caller is averaging 18.3 fantasy points per game, ranking as the QB14 on a per-game basis. He'll look to bounce back in Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens, who have allowed the second-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Notably, they've given up big performances to Josh Allen, C.J. Stroud, and Patrick Mahomes. With improved weather conditions expected and a soft matchup ahead, Williams profiles as a low-end QB1 with bounce-back potential in Week 8.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cameron Ward has been playing better lately, but is still off to a slow start to his rookie campaign. Over the last three games, Ward has thrown for over 220 yards in each of those contests. The biggest problem is that Ward has thrown an interception in each of the last five contests. The 23-year-old is also missing his top wide receiver in Calvin Ridley (hamstring) again this weekend. It's hard to imagine Ward having much success against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8. Due to bye weeks, fantasy managers might have no choice but to start Ward. However, he should be viewed as a low-end option.
