Caleb Williams vs Malik Willis: Who Should You Start?
There is a real production gap between these two quarterbacks. Caleb Williams (Chicago Bears) averaged 19.1 PPG over 17 games in 2025, outscoring Malik Willis (Miami Dolphins, 12.8 PPG) by 6.3 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.
That 6.3-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.
Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Caleb Williams threw for 3942 yards and 27 touchdowns, while Malik Willis posted 422 yards and 3 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.
One scheduling note: Caleb Williams is off Week 7 and Malik Willis Week 6. 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.
