Keenum brings veteran savvy to the Bears’ QB room, and his Week 2 involvement could shape late-game sequences and drive variety. Fantasy managers watch for his rhythm in relief duty and potential late-game scoring opportunities if Williams is sidelined.

Keenum is highlighted as a well-regarded veteran backup with a history of stepping in effectively. His familiarity with the Rams’ system and his playoff-era clutch moments make him an appealing contingency. If he becomes available, the Rams would see him as a credible upgrade in a pinch, especially given his leadership and proven ability to run an offense.

Keenum was day-to-day with a leg injury during the joint session, creating uncertainty behind Caleb Williams in the Bears’ quarterback depth chart. His absence provided Williams and the offensive staff with a live look at roster depth and the potential impact on early-season depth needs and fantasy handcuff considerations.

Keenum’s veteran presence anchors the Bears’ rotating QB discussion, offering a floor and a veteran lens on development. His presence signals Chicago’s short-term steadiness while the club weighs longer-term options, a dynamic that can influence how owners value late-round QB targets and backup depth.
