Who Should I Start? Case Keenum or Bailey Zappe

Chicago Bears quarterback Case Keenum (leg) has made the 53-man roster and will open 2025 as the team's third-string signal-caller. Keenum has been dealing with a minor leg injury this month, but it won't be enough to keep him off the roster. The well-traveled 37-year-old joined the Bears in free agency in April after a second stint with the Houston Texans. He didn't play at all last year after suffering a foot injury and hasn't attempted 100-plus passes in a season since 2019, which he spent with Washington. With Caleb Williams entrenched as QB1 and Tyson Bagent locked into the No. 2 role, Keenum shouldn't see any meaningful action this season unless things go catastrophically wrong for the Bears.

The Cleveland Browns brought back quarterback Bailey Zappe with a spot on their practice squad, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The fourth-year pro appeared in one game for Cleveland last season, but failed to latch on with Kansas City after training camp and was waived. Cleveland, which traded Kenny Pickett to Las Vegas earlier this week, will keep quarterbacks Joe Flacco, Shedeur Sanders, and Dillon Gabriel on its 53-man roster. Zappe, who had his moments as a rookie in New England, is way off the fantasy radar at this point.
