From the article

Williams put up QB1 numbers in 2025, but he didn't play like a QB1. He finished the season at 19th in EPA per dropback and 29th in CPOE. Brock Purdy and Trevor Lawrence outplayed him in the spreadsheet and outscored him in the fantasy football context.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Williams' poor efficiency metrics and spreadsheet underperformance don't justify QB12 price.

Kyle ranks Williams QB12 and argues his price is more hype than substance. While Williams put up QB1 numbers in 2025, he didn't play like a QB1, finishing 19th in EPA per dropback and 29th in CPOE. Pro Football Focus charted him with their 19th-best passing grade. Brock Purdy and Trevor Lawrence outplayed him in the spreadsheet and outscored him in fantasy football context, making his current ADP inflated.
