Their 2025 seasons

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

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

He was on the field for 99 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

He caught 16 of 27 targets for 239 yards and 6 touchdowns, with 10 red zone targets.

That came to 1.6 targets a game, a 59 percent catch rate and 14.9 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 38 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Both were available for 17 games that season.

Side by side

In 2025 Caleb Williams scored 19.1 PPR points a game and Isaac TeSlaa 4.5, 14.7 a game between them.

Caleb Williams finished QB5 and Isaac TeSlaa WR82, which are two different ladders.

Caleb Williams is a quarterback and Isaac TeSlaa 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 Isaac TeSlaa in Week 6, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

13.4 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.
