Should I start Jameson Williams or Jared Goff in Week 7?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Jameson Williams, and the board ranks him 56th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Jared Goff, and the board ranks him 57th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Jameson Williams's market-based projection is 11.4 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 70th highest figure of the 208 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Jared Goff is 19.2 PPR points a game off 4 markets across 13 market sources. That is 80 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Jared Goff's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Their 2025 seasons

He caught 65 of 102 targets for 1117 yards and 7 touchdowns, with 8 red zone targets.

That came to 6.0 targets a game, a 64 percent catch rate and 17.2 yards a catch.

He threw for 4564 yards on 578 attempts with 34 touchdowns and 8 interceptions, and ran for 45 yards and 0 touchdowns.

That came to 34.0 attempts a game at 7.9 yards an attempt.

He was on the field for 98 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Both were available for 17 games that season.

Side by side

In 2025 Jared Goff scored 17.9 PPR points a game and Jameson Williams 12.9, 5.0 a game between them.

Jameson Williams finished WR12 and Jared Goff QB9, which are two different ladders.

Jameson Williams is a wide receiver and Jared Goff a quarterback, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 6, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

What would change the answer

Jared Goff has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
