Beat: Nick Foles likely to be Eagles' starter

Jul 12, 2013

If this is a fair fight, if this is truly open competition, QB Nick Foles will be the Eagles’ starting quarterback on opening day.

And the fact that Foles is still here when it would have been easy to trade him and the fact that he really did split the OTA and minicamp reps with Michael Vick tells you it really will be a fair fight.

Fantasy Impact:

The entire article is a good read, as beat writer Rueben Frank lays out the case why Foles will (and should) be the Eagles starter. This is definitely concerning for Vick, who certainly seems to be on very thin ice at this point. There are too many solid QB2 options to use a 11th round pick on Vick, at least until we have a better idea of who is going to start for the Eagles. As for Foles, if he is the starter, consider him a low-end QB2 option. The Eagles are likely to be run-heavy, and QB is very deep this season.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
