Tyson Bagent: takes over Bears offense after Williams exit

THE FACT. Bagent relieved Williams in the fourth quarter Sunday and nearly pulled Chicago back before being sacked on fourth-and-2 to end a 9-3 loss to Minnesota, per NBC Sports' Myles Simmons, who wrote that the 1-1 Bears look likely to need Bagent under center when Philadelphia visits in Week 3.
THE VERDICT. Bagent is a bridge, not a fantasy answer. Redraft: leave him on waivers in one-quarterback leagues and treat him as a desperation streamer only in superflex. The bigger move is on the Chicago pass catchers, who all take a downgrade while a backup runs a shorter, more conservative version of this offense. DFS: fade Bears skill players in cash games until we see Bagent take a full week of first-team reps.
