Tyson Bagent Fantasy Overview

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.
