Mike Glennon

Mike Glennon was 13/18 for 89 yards with 1TD and 1INT against the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

While the stats suggest that Glennon played better tonight, the tape does not support that. Glennon threw a horrible red zone interception while staring down his receiver, and should have had at least one more due to poor decision making. He struggled mightily with ball placement all game, and had to settle for a lot of check downs. With two poor performances so far, Glennon has opened the door for a QB competition with Mitch Trubisky.

Mike Glennon completed 2-of-8 passes for a paltry 20 yards, with no touchdowns, and a pick-six last night against the Broncos.

Fantasy Impact

It wasn't an easy matchup against the Broncos' great pass defense, but a pick-six on Glennon's second throw was inexcusable. The Bears first team offense couldn't get anything going. To make matters worse for Glennon, Mitchell Trubisky had a terrific start to his NFL career, albeit against second and third team defenses. Glennon will have to show a vast improvement if he gets the start in preseason game two next Saturday.

Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Pace named newly signed quarterback Mike Glennon the team's starter for 2017. “Mike Glennon is our starting quarterback and we’re fired up about that," Pace said Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Glennon, who signed a three-year, $45 million deal with Chicago that includes $18.5 million in guaranteed money, will start for the club in 2017. The former Buccaneers field general posted a 5-13 career win-loss record in 18 games as a starter in Tampa Bay, but Bears brass believes he's shown enough to turn Chicago's franchise around and be their future. Glennon has thrown for 30 touchdowns and 15 interceptions in his career.

When all is said and done Mike Glennon will have a 3-year order with an average of about $14.5M a year.

Fantasy Impact

It is rumored that Chicago will still draft a QB but it seems very likely that Glennon will get the chance to start for the Bears. Glennon last year only threw for 75 yards and one touchdown. With Winston being the franchise guy Glennon wants that chance to prove himself as a legitimate NFL starter. In fantasy terms Glennon is a dark horse as no one really knows how everything will play out. He's worth a backup flyer in most leagues. Keep him on your radar come draft day.

NFL Network's Mike Silver believes Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Mike Glennon "will end up" with the Chicago Bears. Silver adds that he does not believe the New York Jets and San Francisco 49ers have a "legitimate interest" in him.

Fantasy Impact

If Silver's report holds true, the Bears are the only team that has a legitimate interest in Glennon. Therefore, Chicago is his likeliest destination. If the Bears indeed sign Glennon, Brian Hoyer will likely move on and not be re-signed. Hoyer is a free agent and is coming off of a 2016 season in which he finished on the injured reserve list with a fractured forearm.
