Caleb Williams vs Jaxson Dart: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between Caleb Williams and Jaxson Dart for your lineup, you are not alone. Caleb Williams finished the 2025 season at 19.1 PPG for the Chicago Bears (17 games), and Jaxson Dart averaged 17.6 for the New York Giants (14 games).
That 1.5-point weekly advantage for Caleb Williams is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Jaxson Dart offers meaningful rushing upside with 487 yards on the ground in 2025, which separates his floor from a pocket passer like Caleb Williams (3942 passing yards, 27 touchdowns). In games where the passing matchup looks ugly, that rushing production can be the entire difference on a start/sit call.
Caleb Williams has his bye in Week 7, and Jaxson Dart rests in Week 11. 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.
