Who Should I Start? Caleb Williams or Drake Maye

Saturday, September 27, 11:58 AM

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is off to a scorching start in his sophomore season. Williams is averaging 23.8 fantasy points per game, ranking as the QB3 behind only Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. The arrival of head coach Ben Johnson has transformed the Bears' offense, and Williams is thriving in the system. Week 4 sets up as another strong spot. The Bears face the Las Vegas Raiders, who allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks in 2024. This year, they've already surrendered a 115+ QBR in back-to-back weeks, most recently getting lit up by Marcus Mariota and the Commanders for 41 points on offense. With elite efficiency, rushing upside, and a favorable matchup, Williams is locked in as a high-end QB1 for Week 4. Expect his early-season dominance to continue in Las Vegas.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed 14 of 17 pass attempts for 203 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 4 blowout win over the Carolina Panthers. He also rushed for 11 yards and another touchdown on the ground. The 23-year-old has quietly produced one of the strongest starts to the season among all NFL quarterbacks, racking up nine touchdowns, 98 rushing yards, and just two interceptions. He ranks as the overall QB4 in fantasy points through four weeks, trailing only Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Patrick Mahomes II. That's an elite class of quarterbacks, so Maye's presence among such a talented group is a testament to the strong four weeks he's had. He has entered must-start territory as a mid-range QB1 entering next week's game against the Buffalo Bills.
