Bears: QB Justin Fields doubtful, Tyson Bagent to start Week 8

Bears coach Matt Eberflus says "Tyson Bagent will be our starter." Calls Justin Fields doubtful for Sunday night's game at Chargers.

Fantasy Impact: 

Bagent led the Bears to a win over the Raiders in what was a battle of backup QBs. Bagent was 21-of-29 but for just 162 yards, however he did have a 97.2 QB rating. He added a TD pass and wasn't intercepted, he even ran three times for 24 yards. The Chargers will likely be a harder task in Week 8. For now, Bagent is more of a deeper league, superflex option but it looks like he'll start Week 8 at least as Fields recovers from a thumb injury.
