Nick Foles shines in joint practice with Pats

Aug 12, 2014

Just like he was last year during joint practices, New England Patriots' quarterback Tom Brady put on a show on the practice fields of Gilette Stadium on Tuesday.

The only difference this time around, Eagles quarterback Nick Foles was better.

Foles had his best showing of training camp against the Patriots' first-team defense on Tuesday, tossing three touchdowns and not throwing a single interception. The lights-out showing in practice came five days after he threw two interceptions in nine passes against the Chicago Bears.

"I moved on from the (Chicago) game," Foles said after practice. "I had to."

Fantasy Impact:

Foles had a number of impressive throws against the Patriots, with the highlight of the day being a 40-plus yard touchdown pass to receiver Jeremy Maclin over cornerback Darrelle Revis. Foles first pump-faked to his left, before coming back and hitting Maclin in stride in the corner of the end zone. It's a good sign he bounced back from the team's first preseason game where he threw two interceptions after having just two all of last season.

Chargers to sign RB J.K. Dobbins on one-year deal

Tom Pelissero

Former Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins is planning to sign with the #Chargers on a one-year deal. Electric when healthy, Dobbins — who averages 5.8 yards per carry in his career — reunites with OC Greg Roman and can hit the market again in March.

Related Players: Gus Edwards

Fantasy Impact:

Dobbins has had poor injury luck in his career, but has only managed 234 total rushes since being drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. This is a low-risk, high-reward move by the Chargers and might give them a runway to wait a little longer in the '24 Draft before they address the position.

Cowboys sign RB Royce Freeman

The Cowboys have signed running back Royce Freeman to a one-year deal. Freeman had 319 yards on 77 carries with 2 touchdowns last year for the Los Angeles Rams. He was 3rd round pick of Denver in '18.

Related Players: Rico Dowdle, Deuce Vaughn

Fantasy Impact:

Freeman hasn't rushed for 500 yards since 2018, his rookie season. This shouldn't have any impact on the team drafting at the position and/or bringing back Ezekiel Elliott.

The Eagles have paid another big-time, rising player. This time, WR DeVonta Smith gets a 3-year, $75M contract extension that includes $51M guaranteed.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, DeVante Parker, Parris Campbell

Fantasy Impact:

Great news for Jalen Hurts and the Eagles offense as a whole. Smith will continue his 1b role in which he finished the 2023 season as fantasy's WR22.
