34°Availability
Tyson Bagent completed 7-of-8 pass attempts for 87 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing once for 10 yards in the Bears' 27-3 win over the Bengals.
Fantasy Impact
Bagent impressed in relief of 2024 No.1 overall pick Caleb Williams Saturday, leading Chicago on two scoring drives as part of a dominant team effort. The signal-caller will look to translate his preseason performance into solidifying his role as the No. 2 quarterback on the depth chart behind Williams as the regular season approaches.
The Bears will start Tyson Bagent at QB in Thursday’s HOF game.
Fantasy Impact
Bagent and the rest of the Bears’ second string will start Thursday’s game against Houston. Caleb Williams and the rest of the Bears’ starters will sit out.
Tyson Bagent completed 20 of his 33 passes for 162 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in a 16-13 win over the Panthers in Week 10.
Fantasy Impact
Bagent and the Bears offense leaned on the running game in the Thursday night win, which limited the quarterback's production. Bagent has now thrown for 859 yards, three touchdowns, and six interceptions in place of the injured Justin Fields. Fields could be nearing a return, however, so Bagent might be back in a reserve role as soon as Week 11 when Chicago faces the Lions.
The Bears will have rookie QB Tyson Bagent start in Week 10 against Carolina.
Fantasy Impact
Bagent will get another start with Justin Fields (thumb) listed as doubtful for Thursday’s game with the Panthers. Bagent struggled in his last outing, committing four turnovers in a loss to the Saints. With the Bears set to have a longer rest period after Thursday’s game, Justin Fields will likely regain the starting job in Week 11.
Tyson Bagent completed 18-of-30 passing attempts for 220 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions while adding 70 yards and a lost fumble on the ground in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the New Orleans the Saints.
Fantasy Impact
The rookie once again got the starting nod for the Bears with Justin Fields (thumb) still out, but it turned out to be a rough game for Bagent. He turned the ball over four times over the course of the day, but he was able to slightly save his fantasy outing by rushing for 70 yards on the ground. It remains to be seen if he will start again in Week 10, and if he does, fantasy managers can confidently bench him and most fantasy options associated with Chicago's offense.
