Tyson Bagent Only an Option in 2QB Leagues for Week 5

Wednesday, October 7, 6:16 AM

There is another start coming for Chicago Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent, but the opportunity matters a lot more in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues. Bagent handled the Jets well enough in Week 4, completing 25 of 34 passes for a career-high 268 yards in a 23-12 win. The fantasy line was much less interesting. He did not throw a touchdown, was intercepted once and added only one rushing yard on four carries. Chicago also had little reason to ask for more with Kyle Monangai running 30 times for 146 yards and two scores. Bagent is expected to start again Sunday at Green Bay while Caleb Williams remains sidelined by a hamstring injury. RotoBaller has Bagent at QB26 for Week 5 and lists him as an add only in two-quarterback leagues. That makes him useful if a Superflex manager simply needs a starting quarterback this week, but there is not enough passing or rushing upside here to make him worth chasing in ordinary one-QB formats.

Braelon Allen Steps Into a Bigger Week 4 Role

Saturday, October 3, 7:27 AM

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen gets his first real chance to lead the backfield Sunday with Breece Hall (quad) ruled out. Allen has only 61 rushing yards and a touchdown on 19 carries through three games, but those numbers came while working behind Hall. The opportunity changes this week. Allen took the majority of the practice reps, while Isaiah Davis is also expected to see more work, so this shouldn't automatically be treated as a one-back setup. Still, Chicago has allowed 351 rushing yards and 5.1 yards per carry, which is a much friendlier spot than Allen could have asked for. RotoBaller has him at RB22 in its Saturday rankings. The committee risk is real, but Allen has enough projected work to be used as an RB2 or flex.
