IND QB Nick Foles - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

Nick Foles will get the start this week against the Chargers. He last started for the Bears in 2021, tossing 250 yards and a touchdown. Foles has been able to put up numbers in the past, but it’s hard to know how he’ll look in this offense, which has struggled all year, is missing Jonathan Taylor, and faces a surging Chargers defense that’s playing better the last two weeks than their 14th-ranked aFPA standing suggests. Consider Foles a risky QB2 option at best.

CHI QB Nick Foles - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Green Bay Packers

UPDATE: Foles will not play in Week 12 vs. the Packers.

The Bears put on one of the worst offensive performances in recent memory when the Bears played in Week 10 as Nick Foles finished with 106 passing yards, no touchdowns and an interception. He also had a season-low 26 pass attempts (in a game where the Bears were out their starting running back). He should improve this week, but not by much. Foles gets a tough matchup against the Packers who are No. 7 in aFPA quarterbacks. Foles is averaging exactly one touchdown and one interception in his starts this season with about 237.7 passing yards. That's the kind of performance you can expect in Week 12, making him a bottom-five option among quarterbacks.

CHI QB Nick Foles - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Minnesota Vikings

Nick Foles had his best game of the season last week, but that's mostly because he threw the ball a season-high 52 times. Foles finished with 335 yards (season-high) with two touchdowns and no interceptions. It's the second time he's had multiple touchdowns in a start this season and the first time he's had a game without a turnover. Expect his numbers to lessen this week against the Vikings as it's highly unlikely Foles hits 52 pass attempts again. The Vikings are averaging fewer than 40 pass attempts against them per game, so it's more likely we see something in that range. Foles should be viewed as a bottom-five quarterback in Week 10.

CHI QB Nick Foles - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Tennessee Titans

Nick Foles had his best game as a starter last week, throwing for a season-high 272 yards and finishing with two touchdowns (his most in any start this season). He also threw an interception, and has thrown an interception in every game he's played in 2020. Foles is only averaging around 14.5 fantasy points per game, which is less than 26 quarterbacks this season. He gets a fairly favorable matchup this week against the Titans, but Foles isn't a great fantasy option. He's among the worst options at quarterback this week.

CHI QB Nick Foles - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. New Orleans Saints

Nick Foles had one of his worst games of the season last week, finishing with no touchdowns and two interceptions. Foles still hasn't thrown for more than one touchdown in any of his starts this season, and has at least one interception in every game he's played so far. He has a favorable matchup this week against the Saints (No. 26 aFPA), who have allowed the second-most touchdowns to quarterbacks this season. Despite the favorable matchup, this Bears offense has struggled for the most part and it's hard to trust Foles. He's a bottom-five quarterback option in Week 8.

CHI QB Nick Foles - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Los Angeles Rams

In all three of Nick Foles' starts this season, he's finished with one touchdown and an interception while averaging 230 per game. He did add a rushing touchdown last week, but those aren't reliable on a weekly basis for Foles. Instead, you can likely rely on that one TD, one INT performance, and slightly above 200 yards. That's what we have projected for Foles in Week 7 in a fairly tough matchup against the Rams. Los Angeles is No. 12 in aFPA quarterbacks, and Foles is already a poor option for most weeks. He's one of the worst quarterback options available in Week 7.

CHI QB Nick Foles - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Carolina Panthers

Nick Foles had practically identical stats in his second start (243 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT) as he did in his first (249 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT), and those numbers are essentially what you can predict from Foles moving forward. In fact, his numbers may be even lower this week in a tough matchup against the Panthers, who are No. 1 in aFPA. Foles is a below-average option whose value gets even lower in a poor matchup. He'll be among one of the worst starts at QB iN Week 6.

CHI QB Nick Foles - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Nick Foles looked decent in mop-up duty in Week 3, but wasn't much of an improvement over Mitch Trubisky in Week 4. Foles finished with 249 yards, one touchdown and one interception in a tough matchup against the Colts. He gets a slightly easier matchup this week, but it's still not a good matchup. The Bucs are 12th in aFPA (17.4) to quarterbacks, holding opposing QBs to a 6-5 TD-INT ratio on the season. Foles is already a poor option most weeks, and a tough matchup won't help things. He's among the worst quaterback options available in Week 5.

CHI QB Nick Foles - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Colts

Nick Foles has officially been named the starting quarterback of the Bears. This was expected to happen at some point this season, but maybe not so soon. Mitch Trubisky was benched in Week 3, and Foles took over finishing with three touchdowns. While three scores were nice, he was facing a favorable Falcons defense. He'll get a much tougher matchup this week against the Colts who have allowed the fewest aFPA. Indy has allowed the fewest passing yards to quarterbacks out of everyone, making this a tough game for Foles. Foles might be a streaming option during some games this season, but this is not one of those games. Foles is among the worst QB options in Week 4.

JAX QB Nick Foles - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
After an unproductive first half and then with his team behind by multiple scores in the second half, Nick Foles threw for 272 yards and ran for 20 additional yards in the loss at Tennessee last week. In the two games since his return, both losses, he’s put the ball up 95 times and is averaging 284 yards through the air. Back at home on Sunday versus the league’s second-worst pass defense expect another solid game from Foles. He’s a low QB1 play.
