Caleb Williams vs Daniel Jones: Who Should You Start?
The gap between Caleb Williams and Daniel Jones is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 1.1 PPG in 2025, this is one of those quarterback decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Caleb Williams averaged 19.1 PPG with the Chicago Bears across 17 games, and Daniel Jones posted 18.0 with the Indianapolis Colts in 13.
When two quarterbacks are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.
Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Caleb Williams threw for 3942 yards and 27 touchdowns, while Daniel Jones posted 3101 yards and 19 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.
Caleb Williams has his bye in Week 7, and Daniel Jones rests in Week 14. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at quarterback for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
