Case Keenum May be in Play in Deep Superflex Leagues

Tuesday, September 22, 10:37 AM

The Chicago Bears might be turning to their No. 3 quarterback, veteran Case Keenum, for their Week 3 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football, according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Starter Caleb Williams will likely be out this week after suffering a hamstring strain late in Sunday's loss to the division-rival Minnesota Vikings, and now backup Tyson Bagent is in the NFL's concussion protocol. Keenum, 38, is an 11-year veteran in the league, but he has only appeared in 13 games (four starts) with the Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills, and Houston Texans since the start of the 2020 season, throwing for 807 yards, four touchdowns, and four interceptions. The Bears' offense has plenty of playmakers, but not much should be expected of Keenum if he starts against a capable Philly defense in primetime on Monday. Additionally, fantasy managers in deep two-QB superflex leagues should not be spending much on Keenum, since it might just be a one-week spot start for Chicago. For his career, Keenum has a 62.3% completion rate with 79 touchdowns and 51 interceptions in 80 games with seven different teams.

Ashton Jeanty News

Ashton Jeanty Should Have Big Week in Big Easy vs. Saints

Friday, September 25, 2:19 PM

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty should rebound in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints after an uncharacteristic Week 2 performance. The Los Angeles Chargers' run defense held Jeanty to 48 yards on 21 carries and forced three drops. Though, it should be noted that he played 81% of snaps and caught four of seven targets for an additional 15 yards on the day. Jeanty will now face a Saints defense that ranks 26th in the league this season after allowing 273 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns to start the season. This should jibe better with the second-year back's heavy workload, especially after the logjam he faced in Los Angeles. Jeanty remains an RB1 ahead of Sunday's game in the Big Easy.
