Who Should I Start? Kirk Cousins or Caleb Williams

Saturday, December 6, 11:42 AM

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins threw for 234 yards and one touchdown in last week's 27-24 loss to the Jets, spreading the ball around to seven different receivers, each with at least two targets apiece. The veteran QB now has an unremarkable 3:1 TD:INT in three starts this season, and heads into a tough matchup in Week 14 against the Seahawks. Seattle's defense has yielded just 152.7 yards per game passing over their last three contests (sixth-fewest) and is middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing QBs. The game will be played indoors in Atlanta, but with the Falcons missing their top receiver, Drake London (knee), and with an implied team total of just 19 points, they are not expected to find the end zone frequently. It all points to Cousins being a very low-end QB2 for Sunday's showdown.

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.
