Trubisky is Buffalo's backup to Allen after beating out White; ranked 28th among NFL backups by FanDuel, signaling limited fantasy upside unless Allen is sidelined.

Trubisky won the backup QB job again, beating out Mike White. His retention adds stability behind Allen and signals a measured, game-manager approach in relief roles. For fantasy, this solidifies a safe hold in two-QB and superflex leagues, with upside if Allen misses time, especially in game-script heavy scenarios.

Trubisky led Buffalo’s air attack in the preseason, delivering a 58-yard strike to Shavers and showing timing with a growing receiving corps. His connection with downfield targets and comfort within the Bills’ offense add a reliable floor to the depth chart and influence on WR values across the room as final cuts approach.

Mitchell Trubisky is highlighted as the veteran voice in the piece, offering Caleb Williams guidance on embracing Chicago’s intense spotlight and enjoying the journey. His reflections on the Bears era and the impact of staff and perspective frame a path for Williams to handle pressure, pursue growth, and aim for a potential Bears milestone like 4,000 passing yards.

Trubisky is framed as an ideal midrange backup with a proven starter track record, mobility, and a knack for confusing defenses with running ability. The Bills’ current backup plan pushes Trubisky into the spotlight as a plausible Minnesota target if the dynamic with McCarthy shifts and a midseason need arises.
