Who Should I Start? Patrick Mahomes or Caleb Williams

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes hit the NFL by storm early in his career with his deep-passing skills and explosive plays. However, the Chiefs' offense ranked 27th in 20-plus-yard plays in 2024. Since Tyreek Hill departed to Miami and Travis Kelce has taken a step back, its offense has not connected on splash plays as often. Heading into next season, Mahomes is aiming to incorporate big plays back into the offense. "We've had a lot of turnover in the receiving room, and it seems like the core group will be back in its entirety." Mahomes said." So the goal is to try to build on it and get even better and try to get back to some of the explosive passing plays that we've done in years past." With all-world speedster Xavier Worthy heading into Year 2 and a potential full season of Marquise Brown, the ceiling is high for Kansas City's passing attack in 2025. Mahomes has not been a fantasy football game-changer over the last two seasons, but a more dangerous offensive attack could put him back in the high-end QB1 range.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams' left foot is now forward under new head coach Ben Johnson. "I think it helps out certainly with the quick game from the gun, and then helps us being a little bit better at a throwing posture for a lot of the other things that we're asking him to do," Johnson said. The new head coach said that Williams was already exploring the change himself when he initially discussed the footwork with Williams. The minor change probably won't have much of an impact one way or another as the 23-year-old second-year signal-caller looks to bounce back from a disappointing rookie season, but it's a reminder that Chicago's new head coach is doing everything he can to get more out of Williams in 2025. Getting the ball out quicker -- Williams was sacked a league-high 68 times -- is of utmost importance. He should be more efficient under Johnson and should be targeted as a QB2 with upside.
