Should I start Caleb Williams or Carnell Tate in Week 6?

Updated Oct 19, 7:51 PM ET.

Start Caleb Williams: 93 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Carnell Tate's 83 percent of the snaps and 27 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

That came to 33.4 attempts a game at 6.9 yards an attempt.

Carnell Tate is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Side by side

Caleb Williams is a quarterback and Carnell Tate a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Caleb Williams is off in Week 10 and Carnell Tate in Week 9, so either can cover the other's bye.
