Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Raiders due to a dislocated thumb. Head coach Matt Eberflus stated that Fields' status beyond Week 7 will depend on his grip strength. Rookie quarterback Tyson Bagent is expected to make his first career start in Fields' absence. Fantasy managers should be cautious with Chicago skill-position players while Bagent is under center.
