Who Should I Start? Kyler Murray or Caleb Williams

Sunday, October 6, 8:33 PM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray delivered an impressive performance in Sunday's 24-23 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. He completed 19 of 30 pass attempts for 195 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 83 yards and another touchdown. From the first drive, it was clear Murray was ready for a bounce-back game, highlighted by a spectacular 50-yard rushing touchdown. He showed composure in the pocket, effectively taking what the defense offered, even though he fell short of 200 yards passing. He nearly added another touchdown through the air but was thwarted by a dropped pass from tight end Trey McBride. Fantasy managers should be optimistic, as it appears the Cardinals will focus on more designed runs for Murray moving forward. Next week, the Cardinals will face the Green Bay Packers, making Murray a must-start option in Week 6.

This Sunday, Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams showcased his best performance of the season against the Jacksonville Jaguars. In Week 6, he completed 23 of 29 passes for 226 yards and a career-high four touchdowns. After starting the game with two consecutive three-and-outs, Williams rebounded impressively, delivering some excellent throws in the red zone and making key plays as a scrambler. Although he threw one interception, it was one of the few missteps in an otherwise strong game. Additionally, Williams contributed 56 rushing yards on four carries, highlighting his dual-threat capability, which significantly boosts his fantasy value. Following a trip to London in Week 6, the Bears will enjoy a bye week, setting the stage for a highly anticipated matchup in Week 8 against the Commanders, featuring the top two picks of the 2024 NFL Draft.
