• Bears' Tyson Bagent: Chicago's backup for Week 6

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  With Caleb Williams (hamstring) active, Tyson Bagent will serve as the Bears' backup quarterback against the Falcons on Sunday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Williams missed Chicago's last three games due to a torn right hamstring, but the third-year pro has been cleared to return for Sunday's road game. As such, Bagent will revert to backup duties while Case Keenum (coach's decision, inactive) serves as the emergency third quarterback.

• Bears' Tyson Bagent: Could be QB2 against Atlanta

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Whether Bagent starts or serves in a backup role against the Falcons on Sunday depends largely on whether Caleb William (hamstring) is cleared to return from a three-game absence, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports. Williams strung together a trio of full practices during Week 6 prep, but he's not quite out of the woods yet as the team manages the third-year pro's hamstring injury. If Williams is not cleared to return, then it's not entirely clear whether Bagent or Keenum would get the starting nod, with head coach Ben Johnson being mum on those two options following Friday's practice. Bagent led the Bears to a Week 4 win against the Jets but was benched in the third quarter of Chicago's Week 5 loss to Green Bay after throwing a second interception.

• Bears' Tyson Bagent: Role uncertain for Week 3

  16D ago • By RotoWire

  Head coach Ben Johnson said Monday that a decision hasn't been made regarding whether Bagent, Case Keenum or Caleb Williams (hamstring) will take reps with the first-team offense during the Bears' first Week 6 practice Wednesday, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports. Williams will take back the starting job once fully healthy, but after missing the Bears' last three games due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain, it's not yet clear if he'll be ready to direct the offense Week 6 in Atlanta. Bagent has started the last two games, but after managing the Bears to a 23-12 win over the Jets in Week 4, he regressed badly in a 31-7 loss to the Packers in Week 5. The 26-year-old completed just 12 of 21 passes for 87 yards and two interceptions before being benched in favor of Case Keenum in the fourth quarter. As a result of the poor outing, Bagent could be at risk of dropping all the way to third on the depth chart this week if Williams is cleared to play.

• Bears' Tyson Bagent: Takes step back in loss

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Bagent completed 12 of 21 passes for 87 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions while adding three rushes for 17 yards in the Bears' 31-7 loss to the Packers on Sunday. Bagent was ultimately benched in favor of Case Keenum after his second interception of the day with under a minute remaining in the third quarter. Prior to that, he wasn't able to keep the Bears competitive on a day when Chicago's defense was consistently victimized by Jordan Love and his top two receivers, Christian Watson and Matthew Golden. Bagent had put together a diametrically opposite performance in his Week 4 start against the Jets, and it appears unlikely he'll have a chance to atone for Sunday's struggles anytime soon since Caleb Williams appears to have a good chance of returning from his hamstring injury in next Sunday night's Week 6 road matchup against the Falcons.

• Bears' Tyson Bagent: Week 5 Waiver Priority List

  22D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Bagent will start in Week 5 at Green Bay, and he should be added in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAAB. We don't know when Caleb Williams (hamstring) will return for the Bears, and Bagent can be an emergency Fantasy starter if needed. He didn't have a great game in Week 4 against the Jets with 8.8 Fantasy points, and the Packers aren't an easy matchup. But with injuries and two teams on a bye, Fantasy managers might need to start Bagent in deeper formats.
