Tyson Bagent Fantasy Stats

Chicago Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent completed 20 of 28 passes for 212 yards and three touchdowns in the Bears' 29-27 comeback victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. The Bears agreed on a two-year, $10 million extension with the backup quarterback on Wednesday, and then he overcame a two-score deficit in their final preseason game of the season. Bagent led a 10-play, 87-yard game-winning drive with under 90 seconds to go in the game, which ended in a six-yard touchdown to Jahdae Walker with seven seconds left in the game. Bagent will enter the 2025 season in relief of starting quarterback Caleb Williams, and he proved he can be productive given the opportunity this preseason.

The Chicago Bears are signing backup quarterback Tyson Bagent to a two-year, $10 million contract extension on Wednesday with a maximum value of $16 million with incentives, according to Bagent's representation. Bagent is now tied to Chicago through the 2027 season. The 25-year-old entered training camp competing with veteran Case Keenum (elbow) for the backup QB job behind starter Carson Williams, but with the extension and with Keenum also banged up, it's likely Bagent will open the 2025 regular season a th primary backup. Bagent went undrafted before making his NFL debut in 2023 for the Bears, playing in five games (four starts) and throwing for 859 yards, three touchdowns and six interceptions on 143 pass attempts. He only saw action in four games in 2024 and completed both of his pass attempts for 11 yards.

Chicago Bears backup quarterback Tyson Bagent completed 13 of 19 passes for 103 yards, a touchdown, and an interception in his start against the Miami Dolphins. Bagent played the entire first half and had an up-and-down outing. After going three-and-out on the first two drives of the game, Bagent and the Bears marched down the field on a 16-play 79-yard drive that finished with a four-yard touchdown pass to Maurice Alexander on a fourth and goal. Bagent proceeded to throw an interception on the next drive to end a two-minute drill near the end of the half. Bagent is currently in a quarterback battle with veteran Case Keenum for the backup role behind starter Caleb Williams. Keenum played well in the second half and brings a veteran presence to a young quarterback room. Bagent will need to perform better against the Buffalo Bills next Sunday as he looks to cement his backup role for the Bears in 2025.

Chicago Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent threw for 57 yards on three completions and ran for a five-yard touchdown in the team's preseason finale Thursday night. The rushing score was set up by a 44-yard reception to wide receiver Nsimba Webster a few plays prior. Bagent played one more drive which resulted in a turnover on downs before getting the rest of the night off. The undrafted second-year quarterback is entrenched as the backup to Caleb Williams on Chicago's depth chart. He looks like one of the better backups in the NFL, picking up two wins in four starts as a rookie.

Chicago Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent made the fourth start of his career on Thursday Night Football in Week 10. The undrafted rookie finished 20-of-33 for 162 yards and rushed six times for 12 yards. While he played a clean brand of football with no turnovers, his 174 total yards were the fewest he's put up in any start this season. Justin Fields (thumb) remained out again, despite being questionable earlier in the week. With the long layoff before their Week 11 game, there seems to be a good chance Fields returns and sends Bagent back to the bench. The Bears take on the Lions in Week 11, who allow the 14th most points per game to quarterbacks this season. Even if Fields has to miss another week, Bagent remains better suited out of lineups given how limited the offense has played with him under center. Without consistent rushing opportunities, there isn't any real reason to rely on Bagent in fantasy lineups.

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (thumb) is officially inactive on Thursday night as the team takes on the Carolina Panthers in Week 10. Rookie Tyson Bagent will make will make his fourth straight start as a result. Fields returned to practice last Friday and was limited this week, though, so he's clearly making progress and could make his return in Week 11 against the Detroit Lions after dislocating his right thumb in Week 6 against the Minnesota Vikings. The 24-year-old has so far been a massive bust for the Bears and fantasy managers in 2023, but he should remain rostered in all fantasy formats. Bagent has been serviceable given the fact he hails from a Division 2 school, and his ability to use his legs makes him a low-end QB2 option in superflex leagues against a very beatable Panthers defense on Thursday night. In his first four NFL games with Fields injured this year, Bagent has gone 74-for-110 (67.3 percent) for 697 yards, three touchdowns and six interceptions.

Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Tyson Bagent is likely to make one more start this season with Justin Fields (thumb) doubtful for Thursday Night Football. The undrafted rookie is coming off his most productive fantasy performance of the year, completing 18 of 30 passes for 220 yards and two passing touchdowns while also adding eight rushes for 70 yards on the ground in their 24-17 loss to the Saints. He finished as the QB9 in most formats, offering value due to his rushing ability. Bagent will step in if Fields cannot play, but the Panthers have allowed the seventh-fewest points per game to quarterbacks this season, making it a challenging matchup. Bagent is best left on the bench in most cases, except for deeper two-QB superflex leagues.

Chicago Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent had his best fantasy output in the team's 24-17 loss to the Saints. With Justin Fields sidelined due to a thumb injury, Bagent completed 18-of-30 passes for 220 yards, notching two passing touchdowns but with three interceptions. He also showcased his mobility by rushing eight times for 70 yards, although he did lose a fumble. Despite the team's defeat, Bagent exceeded expectations as the stand-in for the starting quarterback. The possibility of Fields returning for Week 10, as hinted by Bears' GM Ryan Poles, looms on the horizon, which would relegate Bagent back to the bench for the rest of the season. Chicago is set to face the Panthers, a team that ranks 23rd in points allowed to quarterbacks this season. If Fields can't make a comeback, Bagent could hold value as a streaming option in deeper leagues, given his rushing capabilities.

Chicago Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent will start again in Week 9, as starter Justin Fields remains week-to-week with a thumb injury. The undrafted rookie is 1-1 in starts and has posted double-digit fantasy output in both contests. He went 25-for-37 against the Chargers in Week 8 for 232 yards and an interception and added a rushing touchdown. Bagent has either thrown or rushed for a touchdown in all three games he's appeared in. The matchup this week is more challenging, as the Saints allow the 25th-most points to quarterbacks this season. Avoid putting Bagent in your lineup if possible and consider other streamers on the waiver wire for Week 9.

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (thumb) remains "week-to-week" while recovering from a dislocated right thumb that he suffered in Week 6. Head coach Matt Eberflus announced on Monday that rookie quarterback Tyson Bagent will be the team's starter once again in Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints. Fields will miss his third straight game this week, but there's a chance the 24-year-old will return to practice. Fantasy managers must keep him stashed in all formats. Bagent, a 23-year-old undrafted rookie out of Division 2 Shepherd College has completed 69.7% of his 66 attempts in his first two career starts against the Raiders and Chargers, throwing for 394 yards, two TDs (one passing, one rushing) and an interception. He'll continue to be a low-end QB2 option in superflex leagues until Fields returns.
