Caleb Williams vs Russell Wilson: The Full Breakdown
If you are choosing between Caleb Williams and Russell Wilson for your lineup, you are not alone. Caleb Williams finished the 2025 season at 18.7 PPG for the Chicago Bears (17 games), and Russell Wilson averaged 14.2 for the Pittsburgh Steelers (14 games).
That 4.5-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.
Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Caleb Williams threw for 3942 yards and 27 touchdowns, while Russell Wilson posted 2890 yards and 18 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 10 and Russell Wilson Week 9. 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.
