Nick Foles
QB - PHI
ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting former Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Nick Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles agreed to terms on a two-year deal.
Fantasy Impact
Foles, who was drafted by the Eagles in 2012, will return to the team on a two-year deal. He is expected to assume the role of Carson Wentz's primary backup. In Foles's acquisition, Chase Daniel becomes expendable. He will likely be traded or granted his outright release. Daniel is due $7 million in 2017 if he remains with the club on his current deal.
NFL Network s Mike Garafolo reports the Kansas City Chiefs will "likely pass" on picking up quarterback Nick Foles' option for 2017 which is valued at $6.4 million.
Fantasy Impact
If the Chiefs decline to pick up Foles' 2017 option, he will become a free agent. Foles, whose had an erratic career thus far in his five years as a pro, has shown enough to likely garner significant interest this offseason from quarterback-needy teams. He is a deemed a darkhorse candidate to start next season by a handful of the NFL media elite. The question remains, where will Foles wind up next season? The Jets, Bears and 49ers, among other teams, are all in the market for a reliable signal caller.
Nick Foles led the Chiefs to a victory on Sunday against Jacksonville. Foles was 20-for-33 for 187 yards and one TD.
Fantasy Impact
Nick Foles got the job done against Jacksonville, but his value should go down moving forward as Alex Smith works his way back from injury. Foles is a droppable asset with Smith returning and better streaming options available.
Andy Reid has named Nick Foles the starting QB for Kansas City this Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Nick Files starting means great news for downfield receiving options like Tyreek Hill. Foles is a great streaming option this week if you need one.
Nick Foles, who came on in relief after QB Alex Smith left with a concussion, tossed two touchdowns and led the Chiefs to a 30-14 win over the Colts. Foles finished with 221 passing yards on 16-of-22 attempts and no interceptions.
Fantasy Impact
If Alex Smith is unable to play in Week 9, Foles would be a QB2 streamer against the Jaguars whose secondary was suspect against Marcus Mariota.
