Who Should I Start? Jayden Daniels or Caleb Williams

Friday, December 5, 12:43 PM

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) will start on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14, according to head coach Dan Quinn. Daniels will be active this weekend for the first time since a gruesome dislocation of his left (non-throwing) elbow in Week 9 in the loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The 24-year-old has missed the team's last three games but will take over starting duties in Minnesota, sending veteran Marcus Mariota back to the bench. Washington got top wideout Terry McLaurin back from a nagging quad injury last week, so Daniels will have a pretty healthy offense around him for his return. Daniels wasn't playing quite like he did in his amazing rookie season this year before hamstring and elbow injuries sidelined him, but he definitely makes the Commanders' offense more dynamic. Fantasy managers may want to temper expectations in Daniels' first game back, though, especially since the Vikings have allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to QBs in 2025.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has continued to lead his team to victory despite less-than-ideal fantasy numbers. In Week 13, Williams completed just 47% of his passes for 154 yards and added a touchdown and an interception, but a strong run game and defensive play helped the Bears get their ninth win in their last ten games. Despite his inconsistent production, the second-year quarterback is averaging 18.9 fantasy points per game, which places him inside the top 10 at his position. His Week 14 matchup against the Green Bay Packers will be his toughest one yet, as they have allowed just the sixth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Not only that, top target Rome Odunze (foot) has been ruled out, and with how well the Bears have been running the ball, Williams could be in line for another low-volume outing in Week 14. Expectations should be lower for the breakout quarterback, who will need to utilize his rushing skillset to be productive against this tough Packers' defense.
