Does enough for win

Trubisky completed 18 of 26 passes for 163 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Bears' 24-10 win over the Vikings on Sunday. He also rushed three times for 16 yards.

Analysis: Trubisky's numbers certainly weren't anything to write home about, but considering he was playing without Allen Robinson (ribs), the downturn in production is at least somewhat understandable. The second-year signal-caller remained mistake-free, certainly key to Chicago securing the No. 3 seed in the NFC in a normally tough road environment. Trubisky now heads into a first-round home playoff clash next weekend against the Eagles on a three-game interception-less streak, although he also failed…read more

Efficient in winning effort

Trubisky completed 25-of-29 passes for 246 yards and a touchdown while adding three yards on the ground in Chicago's 14-9 victory over the 49ers.

Analysis: Although the Bears trailed at the half, this game was close throughout, allowing Trubisky to function mostly as a game manager in a contest the team was able to control. After being a strong fantasy performer throughout the middle of the season, he's averaged just 189 yards and 1.25 passing TDs over his last four games, and he's turned into a low-upside fantasy option going into a tough Week 17 matchup at Minnesota.

Rebounds in efficient outing

Trubisky completed 20 of 28 passes for 235 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 24-17 win over the Packers. He added 16 yards on three carries. He fumbled during the contest, but it was recovered by the offense.

Analysis: Chicago's defense kept the Bears in the game until the end, and the second-year passer delivered in crunch time. With the game tied at 14 early in the fourth quarter, Trubisky threw a strike to Trey Burton on the tight end's break for a 13-yard score, affording Chicago a lead they wouldn't relinquish. The final stat line isn't going to wow many people, but after five picks in his previous two games, a careful, efficient performance by Trubisky was a welcome sight. With that defense, Chicago…read more

Struggles, but gets win

Trubisky completed 16 of 30 pass attempts for 110 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions in Sunday's 15-6 win over the Rams. He added 23 rushing yards on six carries.

Analysis: Trubisky certainly didn't bring his A game to this contest, but his defense and rushing attack bailed him out in a winning effort. The Rams hadn't been an intimidating secondary to face for a good chunk of the season, but the full return of Aqib Talib could certainly be felt in the box score. Trubisky was also coming off a two-week hiatus due to a shoulder injury, but no reports of an aggravation were revealed. Assuming that news stands, the sophomore quarterback will look to improve on…read more

Slated to start Sunday

Trubisky (shoulder) practiced in full Friday for the third straight day and will reclaim his starting role Sunday against the Rams, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Analysis: Coming off a two-game absence due to a sprained right throwing shoulder, Trubisky's ability to take every rep in practice this week erased any concern about his availability for a matchup with two of the NFC's top squads. Chase Daniel, who led the Bears to a 1-1 record while Trubisky was sidelined, will settle back into the No. 2 role, while the third quarterback on the depth chart, Tyler Bray, could soon be a 53-man roster casualty. Prior to getting hurt, Trubisky had made major strides in his…read more

Practices without limitation

Trubisky (shoulder) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice.

Analysis: Trubisky backed up his confidence about the health of his throwing shoulder as well as coach Matt Nagy's optimism, kicking off the week without any limitations at practice. The 24-year-old quarterback is on track to return from a two-week absence for Sunday's home game against the Rams. Only four teams have given up more passing touchdowns (26) and only five have allowed more yards per pass attempt (8.0), but the Rams defense has more than held its own against signal-callers not named Brees or…read more

Calls himself 'ahead of schedule'

Trubisky said Wednesday that his "arm feels really good" and noted that he's "ahead of schedule" in his recovery from an injury to his right shoulder, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Analysis: After Matt Nagy relayed his expectation earlier Wednesday that Trubisky will return Sunday versus the Rams, the quarterback agreed with his boss, saying he "just has to show coach." Trubisky added he's "throwing as much" as the training staff is allowing him to with the intention to start this weekend. In the end, though, his activity level in practice will determine whether an appearance is possible. If Trubisky doesn't prove himself ready to play, Chase Daniel will be under center for a third…read more

Trending toward return

Coach Matt Nagy said Wednesday that he believes Trubisky (shoulder) will be ready to play Sunday against the Rams, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: During his media availability, Nagy relayed that Trubisky has been "throwing the ball well," according to Dickerson. Nagy added that Trubisky will have to look good in practice in order to make his first appearance since Week 11, so his activity level should be monitored closely to learn whether a return is possible. Chase Daniel would earn another start if Trubisky is unable to prove the health of his right throwing shoulder.

Improving, still day-to-day

Coach Matt Nagy said after Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Giants that Trubisky is showing improvement and remains day-to-day, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis: As Trubisky continues with his recovery from what is thought to be an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, Nagy's comments come two days removed from the second-year signal-caller resuming light throwing. In Trubisky's stead, Chase Daniel has led the Bears to a 1-1 record on the backs of 515 yards passing and three touchdowns versus two interceptions. With a Week 14 showdown against the NFC-leading Rams on tap, the Bears ideally want to the more trusted option under center in Trubisky. His…read more

Not dressing for Week 13

Trubisky (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis: As anticipated, Trubisky will remain sidelined for a second straight contest while he recovers from what's believed to be an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder. Despite sitting out another game, Trubisky demonstrated progress this week by practicing on a limited basis Wednesday through Friday, with coach Matt Nagy relaying after the latter session that the quarterback resumed light throwing. Chase Daniel will draw a second start Sunday while Trubisky continues to recuperate, but the…read more

Still doubtful after throwing

Coach Matt Nagy said Trubisky (shoulder) did some throwing at Friday's practice, though it wasn't enough to prevent the Bears from listing him as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Analysis: Chase Daniel is expected to get another start Sunday, with Trubisky then expected to return for a Week 14 home game against the Rams on Sunday Night Football (Dec. 9). The 24-year-old quarterback has been listed as a limited practice participant throughout the week, but there hadn't been any report of him throwing passes prior to Friday. His progress at the end of the week suggests he could have a fairly normal practice schedule next week.

Doubtful to face Giants

Trubisky (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Analysis: Reportedly dealing with an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder, Trubisky was listed as a limited participant throughout the week, but there hasn't been any indication his practice regimen included throwing passes. Barring a miraculous last-second recovery, Chase Daniel will get another start while Trubisky turns his attention to Week 14 against the Rams. It will be awfully difficult for the Bears to land a first-round bye in the playoffs if they don't defeat the Rams on Dec. 9 in Chicago.…read more

Dealing with short-term issue

Trubisky said Thursday that his shoulder injury is a short-term concern, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports. "I feel good," Trubisky stated. "It's not something that's going to [restrict] me in the long term."

Analysis: Trubisky wouldn't elaborate on specifics regarding the injury, but it consistently has been reported to be an AC joint sprain in his right throwing shoulder. As he told Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times, Trubisky is going to "do as much as they [the Bears' training staff] let me," which so far has not including throwing. It wouldn't be a surprise if the team exercises caution with the 2017 first-round pick, especially after his replacement Chase Daniel performed well against the Lions on…read more

Will put in limited work Thursday

Coach Matt Nagy said that Trubisky (shoulder) would be a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Analysis: It doesn't represent a notable step forward for Trubisky in his recovery from a right shoulder sprain, as he was limited in Wednesday's session and Nagy added that the quarterback wouldn't throw Thursday, per Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times. Unless Trubisky makes some meaningful progress Friday, it appears he'll be sidelined for a second straight game Sunday against the Giants, which aligns with what Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported earlier Thursday. If that's the case, Chase…read more

Likely on sidelines Week 13

Trubisky (shoulder) is planning to sit Sunday against the Giants in favor of Chase Daniel, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Trubisky officially made his return to practice Wednesday, but it appears the team will continue to avoid taking any chances with its quarterback of the future. Chase Daniel will be in line to start his second consecutive game against the Giants, while Trubisky is likely eyeing a Week 14 return for a home matchup against the Rams.

Officially limited Wednesday

Trubisky (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday on the Bears' injury report, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis: During the session, Trubisky took part in a portion of individual drills and primarily focused on footwork, but he didn't make any throws. The development is a bit of a surprise after coach Matt Nagy said he didn't expect Trubisky to practice Wednesday. Nagy also labeled Trubisky as "day-to-day," which in football parlance means he has a chance to return Sunday against the Giants. If the AC joint sprain in his right shoulder is too much to overcome this weekend, the Bears will turn to Chase…read more

Not in line to practice

Coach Matt Nagy said that Trubisky (shoulder) isn't expected to practice Wednesday and remains day-to-day ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

Analysis: Per Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com, Nagy reiterated that Trubisky's sprained right shoulder isn't a long-term concern, but the injury is still something that could put the signal-caller at risk of a second straight absence. Despite having a longer turnaround between practices after the Bears last played Thanksgiving Day, Trubisky's expected lack of activity Wednesday indicates he hasn't made much noteworthy progress in his recovery over the past week. If Trubisky fails to get back on the field in…read more

No lock to play Week 13

Trubisky (shoulder) remains hopeful to suit up in the Bears' Week 13 game against the Giants but it's uncertain if he'll be available for that contest, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Analysis: Trubisky suffered an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder coming out of the Bears' Week 11 win over the Vikings, prompting the team to hold him out of the Thanksgiving Day victory over the Lions. Prior reports suggested that if the Bears had played Sunday rather than Thursday in Week 12 that Trubisky would have been ready to play, but Schefter's report suggests the second-year signal-caller isn't progressing from the injury as quickly as anticipated. The Bears will reassess Trubisky's…read more

Officially inactive Thursday

Trubisky (shoulder) is inactive for Thursday's game at Detroit, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Analysis: The Bears, namely coach Matt Nagy, expressed optimism Trubisky would be able suit up early in the week, but the tone surrounding the quarterback's availability changed when he woke up Wednesday with less range of motion in his right throwing shoulder than expected, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. The development caused Trubisky to be listed as doubtful for this contest, paving the way for Chase Daniel to start for the first time since 2014. With Trubisky officially in street clothes Thursday, Tyler…read more

Not starting Thanksgiving Day

Trubisky (shoulder), who is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Lions, will cede starting duties to Chase Daniel this week, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Analysis: The Bears haven't officially ruled Trubisky out for the contest while he contends with an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder, so the possibility remains that he could dress as the backup to Daniel. It seems more likely than not that he'll be included among the team's inactives, however, especially after the Bears called up Tyler Bray from the practice squad Wednesday to provide additional depth at quarterback. While Trubisky is in line to miss his first game of the season, the Bears…read more

Dealing with AC joint sprain

Trubisky (shoulder), who is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Lions, is dealing with an AC joint sprain, a source tells Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Analysis: According to Schefter, Trubisky woke up sore Wednesday morning and felt less movement in his shoulder than expected. That prompted the Bears to hold him out of Wednesday's walk-through session, resulting in Trubisky having logged no on-field activity leading up to Thanksgiving Day. With their young signal-caller's long-term health in mind, the Bears appear set to hold Trubisky out Thursday, which would allow backup Chase Daniel to make his third career start. Fortunately, Trubisky doesn't look…read more

Doubtful to play Thursday

The Bears are officially listing Trubisky (shoulder) as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Lions, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Though initial reports a day earlier suggested the Bears were optimistic Trubisky would recover from the right shoulder injury he sustained in Sunday's win over the Vikings in time to start on a short week, the quarterback's outlook took a turn for the worse after he failed to practice Tuesday and was a spectator for Wednesday's walk-through session. Rather than exposing Trubisky to a more significant setback by allowing him to play through the injury Thanksgiving Day, it appears the Bears are…read more

Set to miss practice Tuesday

Coach Matt Nagy said he doesn't expect Trubisky (shoulder) to practice Tuesday but is "cautiously optimistic" the quarterback will be able to start Thursday's game against the Lions, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports. "I can't make any promises. I hope [Trubisky plays Thursday] but it's a day-to-day thing for us," Nagy said. "He wants to play, I know that. We've gotta make sure in these situations we're doing the right thing."

Analysis: Though Trubisky didn't miss out on any snaps during the Bears' Week 11 win over the Vikings, Nagy confirmed the signal caller was hurting after taking a late hit to his throwing shoulder from safety Harrison Smith in the fourth quarter, per Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site. According to Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com, Nagy relayed the team is confident Trubisky's shoulder injury isn't a long-term concern and won't necessitate surgery, but contending with the issue with a short turnaround…read more

On track for Thanksgiving Day game

The Bears are optimistic that Trubisky (shoulder) will be available for Thursday's game against the Lions, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Trubisky was labeled a non-participant on the Bears' estimated practice report Monday due to the right shoulder injury, which he likely picked up in Sunday's 25-20 win over the Vikings. The second-year signal-caller wasn't forced to miss any action due to the issue and finished with 165 passing yards and a touchdown to go with 43 yards on the ground. It's possible the Bears are just managing Trubisky's reps carefully due to the quick turnaround between games, but he'll still probably need to…read more

Dealing with shoulder injury

Trubisky (right shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on the Bears' estimated injury report Monday.

Analysis: Led by Trubisky, the Bears have put together a four-game winning streak, which was capped by Sunday night's 25-20 win against the Vikings. During that stretch, he's completed 64.5 percent of his passes for 875 yards, seven touchdowns and three interceptions while rushing 20 times for 118 yards and another TD. While he wouldn't have participated if the Bears held a session Monday, Trubisky will have two more chances to prove that his right throwing shoulder is a non-issue in advance of…read more

Mediocre stat line in victory

Trubisky completed 20 of 31 pass attempts for 165 yards, a touchdown and a pair of interceptions in Sunday's 25-20 win over Minnesota. He added 43 more yards on 10 carries.

Analysis: Trubisky certainly played a role in Sunday's big division victory, but the Bears' defense stole the show, matching the offense in touchdowns on the night. Chicago played with a lead for the entire game, so the sophomore signal caller wasn't asked to do too much, resulting in a solid completion rate (65 percent) on low-risk passes (5.3 yards per attempt). Trubisky is proving to be an all-or-nothing type of fantasy performer, but the good news for fantasy owners is that Thursday's Thanksgiving…read more

Another 300-yard performance in win

Trubisky completed 23 of 30 passes for 355 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Bears' 34-22 win over the Lions on Sunday. He also rushed three times for 18 yards and another score and completed a two-point conversion pass.

Analysis: Trubisky had a direct hand in four Chicago touchdowns, connecting with Allen Robinson for a pair of scores and rookie Anthony Miller for a third. He also scampered in from four yards out in the second quarter for his third rushing score this season. Trubisky's yardage total was also a welcome spike, as it matched his numbers through the air from the prior two games combined. Despite talk about the 24-year-old still having limitations as a passer, he now owns a sparkling 19:7 TD:INT and has four…read more

Throws for a score

Trubisky completed 12 of 20 passes for 135 yards, a touchdown and an interception during Sunday's 41-9 win over Buffalo. He had a 6-yard run during the game.

Analysis: Trubisky didn't have to do much against a tough Bills defense. Chicago's defense and running game scored four touchdowns on three Buffalo turnovers in the second quarter. He finally got in on the action in the game's final minutes, slinging a quick out to tight end Trey Burton for a 2-yard touchdown. The second-year player has been slowed lately, completing just 54.5 percent of his passes over the past three games against some pass defenses. Next Sunday should offer a reprieve against the…read more

Tosses two scores in Week 8 win

Trubisky completed 16 of 29 passes for 220 yards and two touchdowns while adding 51 yards on six rushing attempts in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Jets.

Analysis: Trubisky benefited from a perfect play call on his first touchdown, hitting Tarik Cohen on a screen out of the backfield against an all-out blitz. Cohen did the rest, turning the play into a 70-yard touchdown to open the scoring. The quarterback didn't make many other significant plays with his arm, though he did find Anthony Miller for a four-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Trubisky also continues to be a factor with his legs, having rushed for at least 47 yards in four consecutive games…read more

Another huge performance

Trubisky completed 26 of 50 passes for 333 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions while adding 81 yards and a touchdown on the ground in Sunday's loss to the Patriots.

Analysis: Although the fantasy numbers were outstanding, Trubisky was completely ineffective throwing outside the hashmarks due to many inaccurate passes. Fortunately, the Bears were playing from behind, so he had to put the ball up on 50 occasions and was able to connect regularly with Trey Burton and Tarik Cohen in the middle of the field to help him post big numbers. In addition, there were often huge openings up the gut of the defense that allowed Trubisky to have the biggest rushing performance of…read more

Tops 300 yards in overtime loss

Trubisky completed 22 of 31 passes for 316 yards, three touchdowns and an interception while rushing eight times for 47 yards in Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to Miami.

Analysis: Trubisky failed to lead the offense to any points in the first half, but he turned things around after halftime. He capped the Bears' first possession of the second half with a nine-yard touchdown pass to Trey Burton and added a 12-yard score to Allen Robinson on his next throw. Trubisky also had a would-be fourth-quarter touchdown called back on a penalty before getting picked off in the end zone on the next play. He bounced back with a 29-yard touchdown to Anthony Miller, but the…read more

Shocks with six touchdowns in blowout win

Trubisky completed 19 of 26 passes for 354 yards with six touchdowns and no interceptions in the Bears' 48-10 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also rushed three times for 53 yards.

Analysis: It's quite possible the second-year quarterback will one day look back on this jaw-dropping effort as a turning point, as he turned in a completely unexpected performance. Trubisky connected with Tarik Cohen, Taylor Gabriel (twice), Trey Burton, Allen Robinson and Josh Bellamy for scores, racking up five of his six touchdowns in a spectacular first half. After primarily operating in the short- and mid-range passing window for the first three games, Trubisky averaged a whopping 13.6 yards per…read more

Fails to find end zone

Trubisky completed 22 of 35 passes for 220 yards and one interception in Sunday's 16-14 victory over the Cardinals.

Analysis: The Bears fell behind by 14 points early, forcing Trubisky to have to throw the ball often, but he consistently was off-target when throwing downfield passes. Once the defense toughened up, helping Chicago get back into the contest, they were able to lean upon their rushing attack to get the victory, relegating the quarterback to game-manager duties. Through three games, he's averaging fewer than 200 passing yards and less than one touchdown, making him a low-upside fantasy option. He'll face…read more

Throws two touchdowns in win

Trubisky completed 25 of 34 passes for 200 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Monday night's 24-17 win over the Seahawks. He also rushed five times for 24 yards.

Analysis: Trubisky got off to another strong start, throwing a touchdown via a shuffle pass on Chicago's first offensive drive. After that, the second-year pro tossed a pair of picks prior to halftime, but responded with a 10-yard touchdown while rolling to his weaker left side during the fourth quarter. Thanks to that score, Trubisky finally put together his first multi-touchdown performance through the air. Although he'll be disappointed by his two turnovers, the 24-year-old did enough to get the Bears…read more

Unable to pull out victory in Green Bay

Trubisky completed 23 of 35 passes for 171 yards during Sunday's 24-23 loss to Green Bay. He also rushed seven times for 32 yards and a touchdown.

Analysis: The night started very well for Trubisky, who completed eight of nine passes for 99 yards in the first quarter, good for a 112.5 quarterback rating. The North Carolina product averaged just 2.7 yards per pass attempt from there on out, though, as the Bears had trouble sustaining drives and ultimately blew a 17-0 halftime lead. While the mistakes were aplenty, Trubisky nonetheless showed glimpses of being an above-average quarterback. He'll now look to rebound against the Seahawks in Week 2 in…read more

Won't play Saturday

Trubisky won't play in Saturday's preseason matchup with the Chiefs, Adam Hoge of WGN Radio 720 AM Chicago reports.

Analysis: Trubisky is being rested, along with many of the Bears' starters, for Saturday's game. The team effectively has five preseason games since they played in the Hall of Fame Game, and head coach Matt Nagy is pleased enough with how the team has looked in practice that he won't risk injury to many key players. Look for Chase Daniel to draw the start in place of Trubisky.

Fires TD against Broncos

Trubisky completed nine of 14 passes for 90 yards with a touchdown along with an interception in Saturday's preseason game against the Broncos.

Analysis: Trubisky was able to find TE Trey Burton on four occasions, resulting in 45 yards and a score. It appeared that the coaching staff made that connection a focus in the contest. On his interception, the quarterback appeared frustrated that Tarik Cohen didn't flatten out his route, which allowed the defensive back to step in front of Cohen to pick off the pass. In fantasy drafts, it'll only take a low investment to select Trubisky as a backup with potential for upside.

Underwhelms in preseason opener

Trubisky completed two of four passes for four yards during Thursday's 30-27 loss to Cincinnati.

Analysis: Fans looking forward to seeing Trubisky in Matt Nagy's new scheme didn't get much more than a peek. The sophomore passer tossed a short pass to new tight end Trey Burton, had a third-down scramble called back for holding, and was out after two unproductive series. Being guided by innovative offensive minds like Nagy and offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich should, in theory, be a return to more familiar territory for Trubisky, who worked in a spread-out system in North Carolina. Reports from…read more

Playing Thursday

Trubisky will take the field for Thursday's preseason game at Cincinnati, Adam Hoge of WGN Radio 720 AM Chicago reports.

Analysis: Trubisky was among a cadre of Bears that were held out of the Hall of Fame Game, but coach Matt Nagy will allow the quarterback to see his first exhibition action of 2018 this week. While Trubisky's reps are to be determined, it wouldn't surprise if he's limited to one or two series before giving way to Chase Daniel and Tyler Bray under center.

Inconsistent in first practices

Although he's made some impressive throws, Trubisky has struggled with poor decision-making and poorly placed passes during the first few practices of training camp, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis: In addition to learning a new offense, Trubisky is working with primary pass catchers who joined the Bears this offseason. He's started just 12 games in the NFL and made 25 total starts since high school, so as talented as he may be, shaky practice performances like these should still be expected. As long as Trubisky shows steady progress throughout camp, he'll continue to be worth a draft pick as a fantasy backup with upside.

The Bears traded up in the second round of the 2018 draft to select wide receiver Anthony Miller out of Memphis to give Trubisky his fourth new receiving weapon of the offseason, Mark Potash of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Analysis: After adding wide receivers Allen Robinson and Taylor Gabriel, as well as tight end Trey Burton in free agency, Miller rounds out a receiving group that potentially gives Trubisky a chance to make a huge second-year leap as a potential fantasy starter. Of course, the the receivers and the quarterback will all be learning new head coach Matt Nagy's offense while trying to build chemistry, so there also could be a significant learning curve. Although there's plenty of reason for optimism in…read more

Bears head coach Matt Nagy expects to run an aggressive offense in 2018 that promises lots of downfield attacking, an aspect that should enhance Trubisky's production, Adam Jahns of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Analysis: After functioning as a game manager and surpassing 193 passing yards just three times over 12 starts as a rookie, Trubisky looks poised to become a focal point of the offense under Nagy. Not only did the Bears bring in plenty of receiving weapons (Allen Robinson, Trey Burton and Taylor Gabriel) this offseason, but the new coach wants his offense to consistently challenge defenses vertically while employing a fast pace. Assuming that plan holds once the season arrives, it would make the…read more

Trubisky gains three established receiving options on the first day of free agency, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis: After having one of the worst receiving groups in the NFL as a rookie, Trubisky now boasts a versatile group of receivers that includes Allen Robinson, Taylor Gabriel and Trey Burton to go along with holdovers Cam Meredith, Tarik Cohen and Adam Shaheen. Trubisky could quickly become a big fantasy factor as each of his weapons poses different threats to opposing defenses. Robinson is a potential superstar capable of making defenses pay for not doubling him. Meanwhile, Gabriel is a deep threat…read more

Trubisky said Tuesday in appearance on 670 The Score Chicago that he was "really excited" when he heard the Bears had hired former Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy to replace John Fox as head coach, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports. "Just watching the Kansas City offense last year, what Coach Nagy brought -- I was able to meet him through the draft process last year, and we really connected," Trubisky said. "I was really excited when I heard he got the job here. I know Chicago is going to have a warm welcome [for] him, and he's going to bring amazing offensive ideas to the table."

Analysis: The radio appearance marked Trubisky's first comments to the the media since Nagy was hired Jan. 8. The No. 2 overall pick from last year's draft was quick to mention that his new coach has already been successful with a mobile signal caller, having served as the Chiefs' quarterbacks coach from 2013 to 2016 before he was promoted to coordinator in 2017, when Alex Smith enjoyed his best professional season. Nagy encouraged Smith to be more aggressive pushing the ball downfield, something that…read more

Trubisky completed 20 of 36 passes for 178 yards while adding two yards on one rushing attempt in the Bears Week 17 loss to the Vikings, finishing his rookie season with 2193 passing yards to go with seven touchdowns and seven interceptions in 12 games.

Analysis: Trubisky also added 248 yards and two touchdowns as a rusher during his rookie campaign. Working with one of the weakest wide receiver groups in the NFL, the coaching staff typically implemented conservative weekly game plans to keep their franchise quarterback from having too much on his plate, which limited both his upside and downside as a fantasy performer. With Cameron Meredith expected to make a full recovery for the 2018 season, he'll immediately have at least one outstanding weapon at…read more

Trubisky completed 14 of 23 passes for 193 yards while adding 44 yards and a touchdown on the ground in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Browns.

Analysis: With Chicago controlling this game from start to finish, they leaned upon their rushing attack to control the clock which resulted in Trubisky throwing the ball just 23 times. However, his ability to run with the football helped him to carve out a decent fantasy performance. Although he hasn't thrown more than one touchdown pass in any game since taking over the starting job, he threw for at least 271 yards in two of his last three games, and he's shown improvement over the course of the year.…read more

Trubisky completed 31 of 46 passes for 314 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions in Saturday's loss to the Lions.

Analysis: Trubisky's numbers were inflated due to the Bears falling behind 20-3 early in the second half, leading to the quarterback throwing on almost every down after that time. He had some success moving the ball against a prevent defense, but other than a screen pass to Benny Cunningham that resulted in a touchdown, he threw two of his interceptions in the red zone, and often struggled to read basic coverages. Although he's thrown for at least 271 yards in each of his last two games, he's yet to…read more

Trubisky completed 25 of 32 passes for 271 yards and a touchdown and also rushed twice for five yards and a score during Sunday's 33-7 win over Cincinnati.

Analysis: This was easily the rookie's best fantasy showing of the campaign, and he's also now completed 37 of 47 passes (78.7 percent) the past two weeks. It's an encouraging stretch for Trubisky's long-term outlook, and Sunday's road win as an underdog is especially noteworthy. Still, he's yet to throw for multiple touchdowns or 300 yards in a game, and Chicago appears content to rely on its running game and defense. As a result, Trubisky's value will probably remain limited in single-quarterback…read more

Trubisky completed 12 of 15 passes for 102 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 15-14 loss to San Francisco. He added 19 yards on four rushing attempts.

Analysis: The rookie took advantage of a short field and drove for a touchdown on the Bears' second drive of the game, but the Bears were unable to muster anything after that and only possessed the ball for 21 minutes in the contest. It was the most efficient effort of Trubisky's career so far, as he managed to complete 80 percent of his passes. He will have an even tougher test Week 14 at Cincinnati.

Trubisky completed 17 of 33 passes for 147 yards and two interceptions during Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Eagles. He rushed for 12 yards on four carries during the contest.

Analysis: It was certainly a step back for Trubisky, who had as many picks against the Eagles on Sunday as he had through his first six career starts. The Bears' typically conservative approach didn't stand a chance with the Eagles up by multiple scores early. With no multi-touchdown games this season and just one performance of over 180 passing yards, the rookie shouldn't be on your radar.

Trubisky completed 18 of 30 passes for 179 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 27-24 loss to Detroit. He added 53 yards on six carries and lost a fumble during the game.

Analysis: Trubisky padded the Bears' early lead in the first quarter with a one-yard touchdown in the back corner of the end zone to fellow rookie Adam Shaheen. The fun, for the most part, stopped there as a Trubisky fumble led to the Lions' first touchdown in the second quarter. Trubisky has been excellent at playing Foxball, head coach John Fox's conservative brand of football, with just one pick in his last five games. Still, with just three touchdowns in that span, he shouldn't be on your radar.
