I am an idiot for considering starting Caleb Williams over Jalen Hurts!

I cannot believe that I have to ask this question. However, here I am. Hurts had been underachieving the past few weeks and this week he plays against the Vikings. Caleb Wiliams is overachieving and playing the Saints. What do you guys think?

ETA: As you guys have probably figured out, this move did not work out for me. Caleb Williams shite the bed with a grand total of 5.9 points and Jalen Hurts had a season high of 27 points.

You're not an idiot (at least not for this). However, any time I decide to do something like this it always backfires.

Caleb v Saints is one of the best matchups this week. It's not a bad move.

That said anytime I get cute like that it blows up in my face lol

The Vikings defense isn't anything special. Their stats are skewed from one game where they drug their nuts across Cincinnati. They haven't scored over 5 points in any other game.

Just here to say, yes your logic makes sense.

I mean, what exactly are you looking for? Hurts had one bad week, in week 2, where he only scored 11 points. Every other week he has been 22 points or higher, with a high of 35.
This is a 6 point passing TD league, but pretty consistent.

Caleb williams, smdh. Not only did he screw me in fantasy, but I needed him to throw just one freaking TD for a parlay to hit. What a bum

You’re overthinking this. Hurts scores plenty of points even when he’s bad. Drop Caleb and don’t even think about this anymore
