Emergency third QB; zero fantasy relevance

Case Keenum’s current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. Ben Johnson named him Chicago’s starter for the Week 3 Monday-night game against Philadelphia with Caleb Williams hurt, per the Daily Herald; as of Oct. 7, Tyson Bagent is the Bears’ starter with Keenum as the backup, per the Chicago Sun-Times.
Keenum, who turned 38 in February, has 66 career starts with 15,175 passing yards, 79 touchdowns and 51 interceptions, per NFL.com. His 2024 season with Houston ended in August with a Lisfranc injury, and he spent 2025 as Chicago’s third-string quarterback before signing a two-year extension in March 2026.
Fantasy Action: Keenum is not a fantasy start even in superflex leagues; he matters only as veteran depth behind Chicago’s starter while Williams is out.
