Who Should I Start? Caleb Williams or Shedeur Sanders

Chicago Bears signal-caller Caleb Williams has finished as a top-8 fantasy quarterback in back-to-back games, including a QB5 finish in Sunday Night's loss to the 49ers. In Week 18, the Bears face a Lions defense that ranks among the most fantasy-friendly to opposing quarterbacks. The Bears are locked into either the number two or three seed in the NFC playoffs, but a win on Sunday could mean the difference between playing a banged-up Packers seven seed or a more daunting matchup with the Rams or 49ers. With neither Luther Burden III (quad) nor Olamide Zaccheaus (illness) carrying an injury designation into the weekend and Rome Odunze (foot) questionable following a limited practice on Friday, Williams could have as close to a healthy stable of receivers as he's had in some time. He is RotoBaller's QB3 for the final regular-season game of his impressive sophomore campaign.

The Cleveland Browns liked what they saw from rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders in his first year in the NFL, but they also acknowledged that he has plenty to work on going into 2026, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. "He's still very much a work in progress, like many people," general manager Andrew Berry said. The 23-year-old fifth-rounder didn't make his NFL debut until Week 11 after fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel suffered a concussion. Sanders took over as the starter, though, and started the final seven games for Cleveland. He had his ups and downs, completing 59.2% of his passes for 1,353 yards, seven touchdowns, and nine interceptions while running for 153 yards and another score. Sanders showed enough athleticism and arm strength to at least put himself in the competition for the starting gig going into next season, where he's expected to compete with Deshaun Watson (Achilles) and Gabriel.
