Tyson Bagent

23-Year-Old QuarterbackQB
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. Read Past Outlooks

January 8, 2024
Bagent didn't see the field in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
When Justin Fields missed time in Weeks 6-10, Bagent served as Chicago's starting quarterback. In five games, he completed 94 of 143 passes (66 percent) for 859 yards with a 3:6 TD:INT. During the offseason, the team will determine if the rookie will continue to serve as their backup quarterback. If the team chooses to keep him in a similar role, Bagent is under contract with the Bears for two more seasons.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely headed back to bench
QBChicago Bears
November 15, 2023
Bagent is expected to move into a bench role Sunday against the Lions with Justin Fields expected to serve as the Bears' starting quarterback, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bagent has started Chicago's last four games while Fields recovered from a thumb injury. The undrafted rookie threw only three touchdowns in those four starts but won two games, which is as many wins as Fields has in his last 18 starts. Despite the team's lack of success with Fields under center, a healthy Fields will reclaim the starting job over Bagent.
