Who Should I Start? Case Keenum or Riley Leonard

Tuesday, August 26, 9:33 PM

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.

Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Riley Leonard was productive during his first career start against the Houston Texans in Week 18. Leonard completed 21 of 34 passing attempts for 270 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. The sixth-round pick also rushed three times for 21 yards and another score. Leonard also lost two fumbles, so he'll need to work on his ball-handling in the offseason. The quarterback situation is unclear heading into the offseason. Daniel Jones (Achilles) looked solid this season, but he is a pending free agent and recovering from a significant injury. Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) barely played in 2025, and it's unclear if the Colts view him as part of their future. Philip Rivers played a few games down the stretch for the Colts, but he will now retire for the second time. Leonard is worth a stash in dynasty formats, but he probably isn't viewed as the franchise QB in Indy.
