Who Should I Start? Case Keenum or Kenny Pickett

Sunday, July 20, 8:13 PM

Chicago Bears quarterback Case Keenum (undisclosed) was activated off of the active/Non-Football Injury list. The veteran landed on the list on Saturday. However, he's now able to be on the field for training camp. Keenum played for seven different teams before signing with the Bears in April. He's appeared in 80 regular-season contests, throwing for 15,175 yards, 79 touchdowns, and 51 picks off of 62.3% passing. Keenum missed the entire 2024 campaign because of a foot injury. While it appears the signal-caller is finally healthy, he won't have any value for fantasy managers, considering he is projected to be the No. 3 quarterback on the depth chart behind Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Kenny Pickett (hamstring) left the team's Saturday practice with a hamstring injury, and head coach Kevin Stefanski would not disclose the severity of the injury when meeting with the media on Monday. Stefanski reportedly said that Joe Flacco will handle the majority of first-team reps for the team in the immediate future, according to Tony Grossi of The Land on Demand. Pickett is in a competition with Flacco and rookie quarterbacks Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders for the starting job in Cleveland, but this injury threatens to set him back. In five games (one start) for the Philadelphia Eagles last season, Pickett completed 59.5% of his passes for 291 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. A former first-round pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2022, Pickett may be getting his last chance to prove himself as a starter with Cleveland. He'll need a quick recovery to beat out Flacco for the job heading into the regular season.
