Who Should I Start? Tyler Shough or Caleb Williams

Wednesday, January 7, 12:14 PM

When asked if Tyler Shough is the team's starting quarterback going forward in 2026, New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore said, "Yeah, we feel great about Tyler." Shough continued to get better in his first NFL season and went 23-for-35 passing for 259 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the regular-season finale against the Atlanta Falcons, adding 34 rushing yards and another score on the ground. The 26-year-old second-rounder out of Louisville completed 67.6% of his 327 pass attempts in 11 games played (nine starts) for 2,384 yards, 10 touchdowns, and six interceptions. Shough added 45 carries for another 186 rushing yards and three touchdowns. At the very least, Shough cemented himself as New Orleans' starting QB going into the 2026 season, and he should profile as a solid QB2 in superflex leagues and a nice backup with upside in single-QB formats.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams took massive strides in his second professional season, his first under head coach Ben Johnson, and he is now a borderline top-five quarterback in dynasty startups. The 2024 first overall pick finished as the QB5 in 2025, while seemingly leaving plays out on the field. His 58.1% completion rate didn't even crack the top-50, and his slow starts repeatedly left the Bears fighting from behind late in games. While the possibility exists that Chicago could falter in 2026, unable to rely on miracle finishes, there's also a chance the Bears are just scratching the surface of what Ben Johnson's vaunted offense is capable of. With one more year to shape the team's personnel to his scheme and mold said scheme to William's unnatural athleticism, it's possible QB5 still might be buying low.
