He threw for 3942 yards on 568 attempts with 27 touchdowns and 7 interceptions, and ran for 383 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Side by side

In 2025 Caleb Williams scored 19.1 PPR points a game and Hunter Henry 10.5, 8.6 a game between them.

Caleb Williams finished QB5 and Hunter Henry TE9, which are two different ladders.

Caleb Williams is a quarterback and Hunter Henry a tight end, 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 Hunter Henry in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

9.9 points a game is the entire case. The market restates it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when live drafts hold these two again they can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the drafts rather than the market-based projection when they do.
