Case Keenum

QB, CHI

Wednesday, September 30

Delivered a sharp, on-schedule performance in Chicago's blowout of Philly, but both shows agree he's a scheme-fit stopgap, not a lock to keep the job with Caleb Williams waiting and Ben Johnson noncommittal on next week's starter.

Friday, September 25

Both shows peg Keenum as Chicago's likely starter if Bagent can't clear protocol, and both agree his low ceiling drags down every Bears pass-catcher's outlook, with Burden, Odunze, and Loveland all in play for the bench.

▼ Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast: 38-year-old backup with negative fantasy points in his last start (2023); hosts doubt he can move the offense against the Eagles. listen ↗

▼ FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Likely next man up if Bagent can't clear protocol; hosts view his fantasy/real ceiling as very low compared to other backups. listen ↗

▼ The Audible: On track to start for Chicago; hosts debate benching Bears pass-catchers like Burden, Odunze, and Loveland given his limitations. listen ↗

Thursday, September 24

▼ Fantasy Feast: NFL Fantasy Football Podcast: Expected to start for the Bears over backup Tyson Bagent, a downgrade the hosts felt should have moved the line more than the one point it did. listen ↗

▶ The Audible: Got first-team reps for the Bears ahead of Monday Night Football vs. Philadelphia, prompting discussion of fading Chicago's skill players. listen ↗

Wednesday, September 23

Only in the QB conversation because Chicago's top two options are hurt, and even then he's a last resort who hasn't thrown a pass since December 2023 and struggled the last time he did; nobody's touting the Bears pass-catchers if he's under center against Philly.

▶ Fantasy Feast: NFL Fantasy Football Podcast: Could be forced into a Monday night start for the Bears if Bagent doesn't clear protocol, despite being their third-string QB who hasn't played in a while. listen ↗

▶ Fantasy Focus Football: Hasn't topped 13 fantasy points in a game since 2019, but hosts say he'd actually be better for Bears pass catchers than Bagent since he's a pocket passer who gets the ball out quickly. listen ↗

▼ Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Berry: Would be the third-string option if Bagent can't play; hosts say neither backup QB should be started. listen ↗

▶ The Audible: Next man up if Caleb Williams and Bagent are both out; his experience makes hosts consider adjusting Bears pass-catcher outlook. listen ↗

▼ Yahoo Fantasy Forecast with Matt Harmon: Hasn't thrown a pass since December 2023 and looked poor in his last outings; hosts are pessimistic about him elevating Bears receivers against Philadelphia. listen ↗
