Who Should I Start? Case Keenum or Teddy Bridgewater

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.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said on Wednesday that quarterback Teddy Bridgewater will get most of the practice reps this week to prepare him in case Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is unable to play on Sunday against the visiting Arizona Cardinals, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. Mayfield has a chance to play in Week 13 after suffering a mild AC joint sprain in his left (non-throwing) shoulder in the Sunday night loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but nothing is certain. The 33-year-old Bridgewater went 8-for-15 passing for 62 yards after taking over for the injured Mayfield on Sunday. He'll have a much better matchup against Arizona with time to prepare this weekend if he makes his first start of the season, but Bridgewater should still be considered a low-upside QB2 streamer, at best, in superflex leagues if he gets the nod.
