Who Should I Start? Tyson Bagent or Jalen Milroe

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.

Seattle Seahawks rookie quarterback Jalen Milroe entered the game in Week 5 against the Buccaneers for a speed option play, but he tossed it just a tad behind running back Kenneth Walker, leading to a fumble. It was an unfortunate result for the rookie from Alabama, as it wasn't the best play design, and it's not the easiest ask for him to come off the bench cold and be ready for the speed of NFL defenses. It was a costly fumble for Seattle, as they were driving in Tampa Bay territory and ultimately lost by a field goal. It's possible that this, combined with how well Sam Darnold has done, leads to fewer of these plays moving forward. Milroe is still a very good asset to own in dynasty, but he won't be an option in redraft, barring injury.
