Bo Nix vs Caleb Williams: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Bo Nix finished the 2025 season at 18.6 PPG over 17 games with the Denver Broncos, while Caleb Williams clocked in at 19.1 across 17 appearances for the Chicago Bears. A 0.5-point gap means any given week could go either way.
With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.
Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Bo Nix threw for 3931 yards and 25 touchdowns, while Caleb Williams posted 3942 yards and 27 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.
One scheduling note: Bo Nix is off Week 14 and Caleb Williams Week 7. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in quarterback for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
