12. Tyson Bagent, Chicago Bears
The Chicago Bears have already started three quarterbacks this year, as Caleb Williams got hurt a couple of weeks ago, and all the team has done since then is win their starts with Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent.
Bagent comes in at No. 12 in our power rankings, and he seems to be the QB who will start the remaining games for Chicago with Williams out. Bagent has 322 yards on the season on an efficient 30/43 passing. He has zero touchdowns and one interception, but his 64.9 QBR does paint a nice picture.
Bagent is a capable backup and is much more of a higher ceiling player than Keenum, which is why he should get the remaining Williams-less starts for the Bears.
But if Bagent is starting down the line here in 2026, something went drastically wrong. With his being a competent backup QB in a league that needs more of those players, he lands just outside the top-10 in our latest rankings.
11. Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders
Jayden Daniels is expected to start in Week 5 for the Washington Commanders. Daniels has 260 passing yards on the year. He's added three touchdowns and zero interceptions, but he's only completed 56.9 percent of his passes this year.
Daniels has been hurt more often than not since the start of the 2025 season, which is a huge concern. He dislocated his left elbow again and is honestly off to a bad start in a crucial third year.
The talent and production are there, but the health just isn't. Daniels probably needs to start the remaining games for Washington this year to actually shut the door on further injury concerns, but it also doesn't help that the Commanders aren't fielding a good team much of anywhere. Daniels, after a wicked rookie season, has kind of fallen into a bit of irrelevancy.
