2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Bears moved on from Justin Fields this offseason, but they kept his No. 2 in Bagent, who will back up rookie Caleb Williams this season. A 2023 undrafted free agent, Bagent played five games, including four starts, last year when Fields was injured. He completed 65.7 percent of his attempts, mostly because he checked down so often. His 5.8-yard average target depth ranked 43rd among 44 quarterbacks with at least 140 attempts, and his YPA was a 6.0 (39th). The Bears' poor supporting cast didn't help matters. That’s not the case this season after the Bears traded for WR Keenan Allen, drafted WR Rome Odunze ninth overall and signed RB D’Andre Swift to join No. 1 WR DJ Moore and TE Cole Kmet. Bagent has rushing upside (109 yards, two TDs last season) and should hold off free-agent acquisition Brett Rypien for the backup job. Read Past Outlooks

Mops up in blowout loss
Bagent played four snaps and completed his lone pass attempt for a six-yard gain in Sunday's 38-13 loss to the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
The second-year quarterback made his third appearance of the season Sunday, with all having come at the tail end of blowout wins or losses with starter Caleb Williams having thus far enjoyed good health during his rookie campaign. Even with the 4-9 Bears on the cusp of being eliminated from playoff contention, don't expect Bagent to get any starts over the final four contests while Chicago remains committed to Williams as its present and long-term solution under center.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Bagent was an undrafted free agent the Bears acquired after the 2023 draft. Both PJ Walker and Nathan Peterman had unimpressive training camps. As a result, Bagent enters the season as the No. 2 QB behind Just Fields. Bagent is considered a developmental project, so if Fields had to miss time, it's possible the Bears would add a veteran backup. Regardless, Chicago saw enough positives from Bagent that they kept him on the regular season roster.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Getting starting consideration?
A few veteran players have asked for Bagent to start amid Caleb Williams' struggles, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams hasn't thrown a touchdown pass since Week 8 while ranking last among all quarterbacks with 4.9 yards per pass attempt over that span. Bagent showed himself to be a competent game manager last season, posting a 2-2 record in four starts. Williams will remain the starter in Week 11 against the Packers, but another dud from the rookie could lead to more calls for Bagent to step in.
