Caleb Williams, QB, Chicago Bears

Caleb Williams has again been a high-upside, volatile fantasy asset in 2025, with five top-10 finishes in nine games. There is a temptation to stick with Williams in the hope that Chicago’s offense continues to improve under Ben Johnson.

However, it’s also reasonable to expect a drop-off in the weeks ahead, when you look at Chicago’s schedule. Six of Williams’ seven top-20 fantasy finishes have come against defenses that ranked in the bottom-10 against quarterbacks in fantasy entering Week 10.

Looking ahead, six of the Bears’ final seven fantasy-relevant weeks are against teams whose defenses rank in the top half against quarterbacks in fantasy. The Bears are on a roll, but Williams’ fantasy totals have correlated fairly closely with his opposition so far.

If that continues, moving him on for mid-to-low-end QB1 value this week would prove a smart move.

Baker Mayfield | TB (at BUF)

Baker Mayfield broke out of a modest two-game fantasy slump with 273 yards and three scores against the Patriots, funneling 58.1% of his targets to his two most trusted weapons in Emeka Egbuka and Cade Otton.

His willingness to focus on his top playmakers is commendable, and the Bills coughed up 8.2 yards per attempt to Tua Tagovailoa in the upset loss last week, but this is a profile that is still iffy at best.

Mayfield has gone three straight games without a single rushing attempt, and if Egbuka doesn’t land a big play, where does Mayfield look for fantasy production (non-Egbuka Bucs on Sunday: 152 yards on 22 catches and 30 targets)?

The Bills have had over 31 minutes of possession in eight of nine games this season, something that stands to limit Mayfield’s volume. After this week, consider me a Baker bull (Weeks 13-18 schedule: Cardinals, Saints, Falcons, Panthers, Dolphins, and Panthers), but in the scope of Week 11, I’m lower than the industry average and have him on the fringe of usable.

Jameis Winston | NYG (vs GB)

Jameis Winston was announced on Wednesday as the Week 11 starter for the Giants, and while that makes for fun headlines, you’re taking on a lot of risk with minimal reward potential by leaning into it for your fantasy roster.

From a macro standpoint, only once has a QB reached 20 fantasy points against the Packers this season, and Winston has hit that number in just three of his past nine starts.

That lone instance against Green Bay was Dak Prescott back in Week 3, a game in which George Pickens and Jake Ferguson caught 15-of-18 targets for 174 yards and three scores.

Who is going to do that sort of thing for Winston in New York?

The last three times that we’ve seen Winston start, he’s funneled at least 29.8% of his targets to a single star player. With Malik Nabers out for the season and a hapless run game, this is a one-dimensional offense without such a playmaker.

I’ve got Winston ranked outside of my top 20 at the position this week, ranking behind QBs that I generally don’t love but are in plus-matchups like Aaron Rodgers (vs. CIN), Geno Smith (vs. DAL), and Tua Tagovailoa (vs. WAS).

Tua Tagovailoa | MIA (vs WAS)

Tua Tagovailoa had the two interceptions last week in the upset of the Bills, the fourth time in five games he has had at least as many INTs as TDs, but overall, I thought he played above his season average for the second time in three weeks.

The touchdown pass to Jaylen Waddle was a 38-yard dime, and his willingness to feed his WR1 since the Tyreek Hill injury is good to see. Waddle has at least five grabs in five of six games and has a 35+ yard catch in four of those games, a trend that has developed thanks to a versatile skill set.

Tagovailoa is doing what we need him to do for the pieces we trust in this offense (De’Von Achane is pacing for 83.3 receptions and is already over 1,100 scrimmage yards). Still, without rushing upside or passing aggression, there’s really no risk analysis that is going to work in favor of Miami’s signal-caller for fantasy managers.

When Throwing Past The Sticks

  • 2022: 117.0 passer rating, 2.6 TD/INT
  • 2023: 109.3 passer rating, 1.4 TD/INT
  • 2024: 92.3 passer rating, 1.0 TD/INT
  • 2025: 67.4 passer rating, 0.6 TD/INT

It’s perfectly fair to say that we’ve seen some better play from Tagovailoa of late, but that doesn’t mean he should be starting for your fantasy team, even in a plus-matchup.
