Who Should I Start? Jacoby Brissett or Caleb Williams

Monday, December 15, 9:11 PM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett has quietly been putting together strong numbers since taking over as the starting QB in Week 6. Since he took over for the injured Kyler Murray (foot), Brissett has thrown at least two touchdowns in every game except one. The 33-year-old has surpassed 300 passing yards in three of his last five contests. Brissett is posting strong numbers in this pass-heavy Cardinals offense. It has helped that the Cardinals have been playing from behind quite often, forcing Brissett to pass frequently. Fantasy managers in need of a streaming option for Week 16 should take a hard look at Brissett. He'll draw a plus matchup against the Atlanta Falcons defense this weekend. Brissett has been posting nearly top-10 QB numbers every week since he took over under center, and he is a viable option for fantasy managers in need of help.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams' passing volume remained a concern in Week 14, completing just 19 passes for 186 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in the 28-21 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Williams hasn't completed over 20 passes since Week 8, and his completion percentage of 57.8% ranks 33rd out of qualified quarterbacks. With a lack of volume, Williams will continue to be an inconsistent fantasy option moving forward. The matchup in Week 15 presents problems as well, as the Cleveland Browns have allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. The winter conditions in Chicago are likely to be a factor as well, with single-digit temperatures expected and winds exceeding 25 mph. Williams is a risky start in Week 15, as he presents much more risk in this game than in past matchups.
