Who Should I Start? Davis Mills or Tyson Bagent

Thursday, November 27, 12:30 PM

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills has filled in nicely over the last three games with C.J. Stroud sidelined with a concussion. Mills has led the team to three wins, going 69-for-116 passing (59.5%) for 719 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception while also carrying the ball seven times for 38 yards and another score on the ground. He threw for over 250 yards in his first two starts, and he's tossed two TDs in two of his three starts. While the 27-year-old's fantasy stock has been on the rise as a short-term QB2 option in superflex leagues, he could be headed back to the bench this weekend when the team takes on the division-rival Indianapolis Colts on the road. Stroud remains in the league's concussion protocol, but he's practicing in full and is on track to be cleared to play this Sunday. If Stroud is cleared, Mills will head back to the bench in Week 13 and for the remainder of the season.

Chicago Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent completed 20 of 28 passes for 212 yards and three touchdowns in the Bears' 29-27 comeback victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. The Bears agreed on a two-year, $10 million extension with the backup quarterback on Wednesday, and then he overcame a two-score deficit in their final preseason game of the season. Bagent led a 10-play, 87-yard game-winning drive with under 90 seconds to go in the game, which ended in a six-yard touchdown to Jahdae Walker with seven seconds left in the game. Bagent will enter the 2025 season in relief of starting quarterback Caleb Williams, and he proved he can be productive given the opportunity this preseason.
