Who Should I Start? Dak Prescott or Caleb Williams

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott gave some clarification on the "spitting incident" that happened during Thursday's season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. Both Prescott and Jalen Carter got into an altercation due to one of them spitting on the other. After the dust settled, Carter was ejected from the game in the first quarter. After the game, Prescott said he didn't intend to bait Carter or spit in his direction. It sounds like a misunderstanding, but one that certainly hurt the Eagles defense. It's unclear at the moment if Carter will face any other displicine from the league.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams completed 21 of 35 passes for 210 yards with one touchdown in a 27-24 loss against the Vikings. He also rushed for 58 yards on six carries with a touchdown. It was a smooth start for Williams and the new Bears offense under head coach Ben Johnson as they marched down the field for a touchdown on their opening drive. However, their offense scored only three points over their next nine drives. The run game with D'Andre Swift was largely inefficient, and Williams mostly took what the defense gave him. Williams found Rome Odunze for a touchdown right late in the fourth quarter to close the lead to three, but it was not enough. On a positive note, Williams looked very smooth and fast as a runner tonight, which is a key part of his fantasy appeal. It was a decent season debut for Williams as he builds his understanding of Johnson's offense, and he should be viewed as a low-end QB1 for fantasy purposes with his dual-threat ability.
