Mitch Trubisky Week 15 Outlook - Bills at Steelers

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 12th 2019, 10:37am EST

Outside of that Rams game on Monday night, Trubisky has played rather well over the last five weeks. He's completed 117-of-176 passes (66.5 percent) for 1,223 yards (6.9 yards per attempt), 11 touchdowns and five interceptions while adding 97 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. From a fantasy perspective, he's totaled at least 18.9 fantasy points in four of the last five games, including back-to-back season-highs of 23.9 and 32.1 points over the last two weeks. The important part is that he's becoming a bit more mobile, totaling 21 carries over the last three weeks, netting 85 yards and two touchdowns, after he totaled just 15 carries for 58 scoreless yards in the first 10 games. Now on to the Packers, a team he's played three times in the last 15 months. He's failed to throw for more than 235 yards in any of those games and has combined for four total touchdowns in them. The Packers defense looked a lot different back in Week 1, as the Bears had very little chance to know how they'd use their new personnel. The Packers were a tough defense the first three weeks, but as time has gone on, they've started to show some weakness. Over their last 10 games, they've allowed 274.8 passing yards and 1.5 passing touchdowns per game. That's despite their opponents averaging just 32.5 attempts per game. The issue is that if Trubisky has another one of his bad days through the air, the Packers have been the best in football when it comes to limiting quarterbacks on the ground, allowing a league-low 2.78 yards per carry to them. In a divisional game on the road, it's tough to say you should trust Trubisky to keep up his hot streak. He's in the low-end QB2 conversation as someone who's simply too risky to play in a win-or-go-home fantasy football situation.
