Start Bryce Young. Young projects for 17.6 PPR points vs TB, against 17.1 for Caleb Williams vs NE: a 0.5-point edge.
The projection is the average of every source that carries each player this week, and a player listed Out or Doubtful is never the start.
Bryce Young is projected to score more: 17.6 PPR points to 17.1 for Caleb Williams.
The sources range from 16.4 to 18.5 for Young and from 12.6 to 19.2 for Williams. The ranges overlap, so Williams outscoring Young is a realistic result.
Bryce Young is the safer start: even the most cautious projection source has Young at 16.4 PPR points, against 12.6 for Caleb Williams.
Start the higher floor when you are favored and only need to avoid a dud.
Caleb Williams has the higher ceiling: the most optimistic projection source has Williams at 19.2 PPR points, against 18.5 for Bryce Young.
Start the higher ceiling when you are the underdog and need points more than safety.
Bryce Young plays TB and Caleb Williams plays NE in Week 7.
By fantasy points allowed to each position, Young faces the 10th-toughest defense against QBs and Williams faces the 6th-toughest defense against QBs, so Bryce Young has the softer matchup.
Each projection already accounts for the opponent, so a soft matchup is a tiebreaker, not a reason to bench the higher projection.
These numbers are in PPR. Full PPR adds a point per catch, so it helps whichever player sees more targets.
Switch between PPR, Half PPR and Standard on the board above to rescore both players from the same sources.
Neither Bryce Young nor Caleb Williams has an injury designation for Week 7.
Designations change through the week, so check again before kickoff; this page updates with each refresh.
Each figure is the average of the projection sources that carry the player this week: StatChasers, Sleeper, ESPN, numberFire, FFToday and the betting markets (sportsbook player props). Bryce Young is projected by 5 of them and Caleb Williams by 5.
A source with no number for a player is left out of the average rather than counted as a zero.
