25-Year-Old QuarterbackQB
Chicago Bears
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bagent attempted two passes in limited 2024 action. He remains Caleb Williams' projected backup quarterback if he holds off Case Keenum by Week 1. The third-year pro showed poise in four 2023 starts, but minimal upside. Entering a contract year, Bagent offers no fantasy value unless injuries push him into a starting role. In that case, Bagent's fantasy value could be enhanced in new coach Ben Johnson's offense. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $10 million contract with the Bears in August of 2025.
Sees work in garbage time
QBChicago Bears
September 14, 2025
Bagent completed two of three passes for 27 yards along with two rushes for seven yards in the Bears' 52-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Bagent was in for mop-up duty in a game in which the Bears were blown out. The veteran is only expected to see time in blowouts or if Caleb Williams misses time.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
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.
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?
QBChicago Bears
November 14, 2024
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.
