Ben Johnson non-committal on Week 4 quarterback
Key Points:
- Head coach Ben Johnson relied heavily on Case Keenum's passing early in the game, resulting in the Bears dominating time of possession and running 69 offensive plays compared to the Eagles' 47.
- Keenum, despite some risky throws, avoided turnovers and managed the offense effectively, leading the Bears to a 2-1 record; however, his fantasy value remains limited against strong defenses like the Jets.
- Caleb Williams is expected to miss 3-4 weeks due to a hamstring injury, while Tyson Bagent is in concussion protocol and listed as questionable for upcoming games, making Keenum the likely starter for Week 3 and possibly Week 4.
- Bagent's limited involvement in game planning has delayed his starting role, but with Williams sidelined, Bagent could start against the Jets if cleared, and he is a recommended add in superflex fantasy leagues.
- The Bears face uncertainty at quarterback with Williams' week-to-week status and Bagent's concussion recovery, leaving Keenum as the active roster's only healthy QB and the probable starter for Monday Night Football against the Eagles.
