Week 1 at Detroit Lions
Mitch Trubisky won the starting quarterback job over Nick Foles, but he likely has a short leash this season. It would not be surprising at all to see Trubisky benched in favor of Foles at some point. Trubisky struggled last year, finishing 7 of his 15 starts with no touchdowns at all. The slimmer of hope, however, is Trubisky finished with three touchdowns in each of his two games against the Lions in 2019. With Detroit on the schedule in Week 1, Trubisky wouldn't be the worst streaming option available. But we hope you have a better option available to start the season.
Week 17 at Minnesota Vikings
Mitch Trubisky had a small stretch this season where he played well, but overall has been very poor. Last week he had no scores, which makes it six games he's played this season with no touchdowns. Out of his 17 passing touchdowns this season, 12 have come in four games. He's not a reliable fantasy option, and he'd a poor choice in your fantasy football championship, especially in a bad matchup against the Vikings.
Week 16 vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Mitch Trubisky threw 53 times last week, which nearly tied his season-high (54). Chicago usually doesn't pass this much as Trubisky's only had 40+ pass attempts in a game five times this season. Despite throwing 53 times, Trubisky only finished with one score. But he did have 334 yards, his second 300+ game in the last three weeks. Trubisky has improved lately, but he carries risk because at any moment it feels like he can go back to his 0-touchdown ways. He gets an OK matchup against the Chiefs this week where he should be viewed as a below-average option.
Week 15 at Green Bay Packers
Mitch Trubisky has surprisingly put together a string of good games with his best performance coming last week against the Cowboys. Trubisky finished with 224 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. And on the ground, he had a season-high 63 yards with an additional score. He's now scored eight times over the past three games after scoring just five times in his first seven games. He still carries some risk based on his earlier production, but it's hard to ignore his improvements. He faces a Packers defense this week that he struggled against in Week 1 with no touchdowns and an interception. He's a middle-of-the-road option this week.
Week 14 vs. Dallas Cowboys
Mitch Trubisky had had four games all season where he's thrown multiple touchdowns, and two of those games came against the Lions. In fact, 46% of his touchdowns this season have come against Detroit. Unfortunately, Trubisky does not play Detroit this week and instead faces a much tougher matchup against the Cowboys. Dallas is allowing an average of 14.89 fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, and Trubisky is a below-average QB. Trubisky has played better in recent weeks, but there are much better options available in Week 14.
Week 13 at Detroit Lions
Mitch Trubisky had an OK game last week, finishing with 278 passing yards, two touchdowns (one pass, one rush) and two interceptions. It was just his fourth multi-touchdown game, and his first that included a rushing score. He's now scored six touchdowns in his last three games, making him slightly better than he was at the start of the season. But he's still not a great fantasy option. He's never topped 300 passing yards this season and has five games with no touchdowns (out of 10). He does get a great matchup against the Lions this week, however. He had his best game of 2019 against Detroit, scoring three touchdowns. But he had just 173 yards in that contest. Trubisky isn't a terrible choice this week, but he's certainly a below-average option.
Week 12 vs. New York Giants
Mitch Trubisky had another disappointing outing last week, throwing for 190 yards with one touchdown and an interception. Oddly enough, it was his only game of the season where he scored just once. He's had five games with zero scores and three games with multiple scores. He did suffer a hip injury at the end of the game, but he was a full participant in practice and is expected to play against the Giants. This is a favorable matchup for Trubisky, but he's not a great option to trust based on his past. He's not the absolute worst choice, but there should be better options available on waivers.
Week 11 at Los Angeles Rams
Mitch Trubisky had a weird game last week as he wasn't overly productive with just 173 passing yards, but he did throw for three touchdowns. But that three-touchdown game should be viewed as an anomaly considering he had five touchdowns in the seven games before that start. He gets a fairly tough matchup against the Rams this week who have allowed an average of 13.60 fantasy points to quarterbacks over the past four weeks. Since Trubisky is a below-average passer, you can expect even less production than that from him in Week 11. He's not a good start in fantasy.
Week 10 vs. Detroit Lions
Mitch Trubisky had one of his worst games of the season last week, completing just 10 passes for 125 yards with no touchdowns. He's now finished with no touchdowns in five of his seven starts this season. He's averaging less than a touchdown per game, which almost seems impossible in today's NFL. He's also never reached 300 passing yards this season. He does get a great matchup against the Lions this week, but it's very hard to trust someone who has played so poorly all season. He's a below-average play at QB in Week 10.
Week 9 at Philadelphia Eagles
Mitch Trubisky had the game you'd likely expect from him last week as he finished with 253 yards, no touchdowns and an interception. Throwing for 253 yards isn't much for a quarterback in today's NFL, and it was actually Trubisky's season-high. He's finished three of his five starts (not including the game he got injured) with no touchdowns this season. He gets a decent matchup against the Eagles this week, but he hasn't proven himself to be a valuable fantasy option. He's a poor choice this week vs. Philly.
