Caleb Williams vs Will Levis: The Full Breakdown

Two quarterbacks who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Caleb Williams (Chicago Bears) finished the 2025 season averaging 18.7 fantasy points per game in 17 games. Will Levis (Tennessee Titans) came in at 13.2 PPG over 14 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.

Caleb Williams carries a 5.5-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.

Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Caleb Williams threw for 3942 yards and 27 touchdowns, while Will Levis posted 2780 yards and 17 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 10, and Will Levis rests in Week 5. 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.
