Should You Start or Sit Caleb Williams in Week 15?
Williams has four top-six finishes on his rookie year resume and I think, entering the year, we would have taken that. The problem, however, is that he has only a pair of top-15 finishes since the huge Week 6 performance, something that is symbolic of the floor that he carries weekly.
Him getting Rome Odunze a pair of touchdowns last week was great to see for those of us holding long-term stock in this offense, though I’d caution against reading too much into it when it comes to value for the remainder of this season.
The rushing profile is nice (27+ yards on the ground in four straight), but the unwillingness to push the ball down field (7.0 aDOT or lower in four of his past five games) is a fantasy production suppressant. He was able to dominate the Vikings in the Week 12 meeting, but is a 149.1 passer rating against the blitz really something we can count on him reproducing?
I’m happy to bet on this aggressive defense adjusting their exotic calls and making Williams uncomfortable with far more regularity than the first game. If you’re trying to get creative in a DFS setting during the two-game Monday night slate, go for it — but in season-long leagues with zero teams on a bye, there’s no reason to take on this risk in my opinion.
