Nick Foles

Free agent quarterback Nick Foles is expected to agree to a deal with the Indianapolis Colts.

Fantasy Impact

Foles, having just been released by the Bears a few weeks ago, is set to land in Indianapolis and reunite with Frank Reich. He won't get the starting job, but he will likely be the backup to Matt Ryan and get spot-starts in the event that Ryan gets injured. He won't carry much weight for fantasy, but it's a solid depth move for the Colts.

The Chicago Bears have agreed to release backup quarterback Nick Foles.

Fantasy Impact

Foles' camp requested a release from the team weeks ago, and the Bears finally honored it and released the veteran quarterback. The team wanted to look for a trade partner initially, but they gave in and will let him find a new team in free agency. This doesn't change much for the Bears from a fantasy perspective, but the team will likely bring in another veteran quarterback to fill the gap he left.

Chicago Bears QB Nick Foles completed 24 of 35 passes for 250 yards and a walk-off touchdown in the Bears' 25-24 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

In his first start of the season, Foles looked impressive slinging 250 yards and a walk-off touchdown against the Seahawks. With Foles at the helm, guys like David Montgomery and Cole Kmet see great upticks in their fantasy values. There is no word on whether the veteran QB will start next week.

Matt Nagy said Friday that Nick Foles will start on Sunday against the Seahawks.

Fantasy Impact

Justin Fields (ankle) will be a gametime decision as to whether or not he will be the backup.

Nick Foles (coach's decision) is listed as inactive for Week 1's matchup versus the Rams.

Fantasy Impact

Foles will serve as the Bears' No. 3 QB this season, behind Andy Dalton and rookie Justin Fields. It would take injuries to both of them for Foles to be on the fantasy radar, unless he were to be traded to a QB-needy team that allowed him to start.
