Bears QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) remained sidelined on Wednesday. He's unlikely to make it back for this weekend's game vs. the Jets. HC Ben Johnson said he knows what "direction" he's going at QB this week but didn't give any more clues. QB Case Keenum played well in Monday night's win over the Eagles, but Johnson pointed out afterward that QB Tyson Bagent won the No. 2 job in camp. We're tentatively projecting Bagent to start vs. the Jets but will keep you posted on the situation.

In Keenum’s first start since 2023, he totaled 3 TDs for a Bears primetime win over the Eagles. The 15th-year QB completed 24 of 34 pass attempts for 247 yards and 2 TDs while adding 6 yards and a TD on the ground on his way to a QB7 finish in Week 3. It’s the first time he’s finished as a QB1 since 2019.

The Bears are expected to start QB Case Keenum on Monday Night. Caleb Williams will be out mutliple weeks due to his hamstring. QB Tyson Bagent is Questionable with a concussion, but it appears he will not start, even if he is cleared. Keenum is set to start the game, which is a hit to the Bears weapons and offense in terms of fantasy value.

Bears QB Caleb Williams has a Grade 2 hamstring injury and was given a 3-4 week timetable for return, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Williams is reportedly trying to beat that timeline and has not been placed on short-term IR. He notably injured this same hamstring in the Pac-12 Championship in 2022 and was able to play in the Cotton Bowl a month later. We'll keep you updated on his progress, but Williams owners should at least plan on him missing Week 4, with Week 5 also looking iffy. Chicago's bye isn't until Week 10. We still don't have confirmation on who's starting for the Bears vs. the Eagles tomorrow night. QB Tyson Bagent (concussion) is listed as questionable after returning to practice on Saturday.

Bears QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) is out for Monday night's game vs. the Eagles. He didn't practice all week and should be considered iffy at best for Week 4. QB Tyson Bagent (concussion) is listed as questionable after a full practice on Saturday. If he avoids a setback between now and kickoff, he should get the start. Otherwise it'll be QB Case Keenum at the controls. Either way, it's tough to feel good about any Bears pass catchers in fantasy lineups against a stout Eagles secondary.

Bears QB Tyson Bagent has been cleared to practice Saturday, HC Ben Johnson said. It's a surprise after Bagent didn't practice at all yesterday. QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) remains sidelined on Saturday, putting Bagent on track to start Monday night's game vs. the Eagles, barring a setback. Consider that a slight upgrade from QB Case Keenum, but it's still a brutal spot for the backup QB vs. a tough Philly defense.

Bears QBs Caleb Williams (hamstring) and Tyson Bagent (concussion) did not practice on Thursday. Both guys are unlikely to play vs. the Eagles on Monday night. That'd leave Chicago down to third-string QB Case Keenum. The 38-year-old last played a regular-season snap in 2023 for the Texans. He averaged 5.5 yards per pass attempt with 1 TD and 3 INTs that year. None of the Bears catchers are reliable fantasy starts this week, particularly against a tough Eagles secondary.

Bears QB Tyson Bagent is dealing with a concussion and in the NFL’s concussion protocol. Caleb Williams will likely miss this week after his hamstring injury in Week 2, and now Bagent himself is in danger of missing Monday Night Football against the Eagles. That would put 38-year-old Case Keenum in line to start if Bagent does not clear the protocol.

The Ringer's Tom Pelissero reports that Bears QB Caleb Williams avoided a major hamstring injury and that the team is not even ruling him out for Week 3. We'd be surprised if Williams played vs. the Eagles next Monday night, but that extra day of rest won't hurt. If nothing else, it sounds like Williams will not be out for long. We'll keep a close eye on his status throughout the week, but fantasy managers should still be lining up another option for Week 3. QB Tyson Bagent will start for as long as Williams is out. He's not a viable QB1 against Philadelphia this week.

Update: HC Ben Johnson said Monday that it "sounds like it's gonna be a week-to-week deal" for Williams.

Bears QB Caleb Williams went down untouched with an apparent leg injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Vikings. He was visibly upset as he was helped off the field by trainers and then carted back to the locker room. We'll update Williams' status when we know more. QB Tyson Bagent has replaced Williams.

Update: The Bears say Williams has a hamstring injury. We'll look for details on the severity.

Bears QB Caleb Williams managed just 207 passing yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's loss at Detroit. He completed 19 of 30 passes, took 4 sacks and tossed 1 INT. Tyson Bagent came on at the end of the blowout loss to account for the team's final 27 yards on 2-of-3 passing. Williams added 27 rushing yards on five attempts.

Bears QB Tyson Bagent completed 20 of 33 passes for 162 yards with 0 TDs or INTs in Week 10’s win vs. the Panthers. The UDFA rookie added very little as a runner on Thursday, totaling just 12 rushing yards on 6 carries in the contest. It’s likely that this will be the last game Bagent starts this season. QB Justin Fields (right thumb) started logging limited practice on November 3 and will have plenty of time to prepare for the Bears’ Week 11 showdown vs. the Lions. Be sure to keep an eye on the practice reports next week to track Fields’ progress. Still, it’s a solid spot for fantasy production, regardless of who starts. The Lions’ defense ranks as the eighth-best QB matchup per our adjusted fantasy points allowed.

Bears QB Justin Fields (thumb) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Panthers. He remained limited in practice all week. We’ll see if he can make it back for the Week 11 meeting with the Lions. QB Tyson Bagent makes his fourth straight start tonight. He’s finished QB20, QB23, and QB7 the past three weeks.
