Who Should I Start? Trevor Lawrence or Caleb Williams

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is expected to make more pre-snap reads in new head coach and play caller Liam Coen's offense, according to Jeff Howe of The Athletic. Howe writes that Lawrence will be sent to the line with two play calls "90% of the time," and that a "trusted QB expert believed Lawrence could turn it on in the second half of the season when he becomes more comfortable." As the offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2024, Coen engineered the best season of quarterback Baker Mayfield's career. A similar breakout could be possible for Lawrence, who is coming off an injury-shortened campaign that saw him average the lowest amount of passing yards per game of his career. The 25-year-old profiles as a mid-tier fantasy QB2 with upside.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams said he is regaining his enthusiasm during his second year, according to a piece written by Courtney Cronin of ESPN. The Bears plucked head coach Ben Johnson away from the rival Detroit Lions during the offseason, then committed to their offense by spending three picks in the first two rounds on tight end Colston Loveland, left tackle Ozzy Trapilo, and receiver Luther Burden III. Williams spoke glowingly of Johnson, who will be tasked with helping the former No. 1 overall pick turn around the franchise, which has posted just one winning record since 2013.
