Fantasy Impact:

With exactly 18 days remaining until the Bears kickoff the season against the Lions, head coach Matt Nagy has yet to name a starting quarterback. According to Chicago beat reporter Adam Hoge, two-straight underwhelming practices for Trubisky has allowed Foles to 'inch closer' to getting the starting nod come Week 1. Much to the chagrin of Bears' fans, Trubisky's well documented accuracy issues were on full display during Tuesday's practice, prompting Nagy to say, "There’s a couple balls I think he would want back, a few here or there just with the accuracy not being exactly what he wanted," Trubisky's high draft pedigree will always keep him in the conversation to start, though with every practice it's sounding more and more likely that Foles will be under center for the Bears in Week 1.
