Chiefs Beat: Nothing to fear if Nick Foles starts at QB

Oct 31, 2016

If the Chiefs have to go with Nick Foles against the Jaguars or any time later in the season, there’s nothing for them to fear. Not only was the transition to Foles seamless, but he outplayed Smith, who was 9-of-19 for 127 yards and one touchdown.

"I don’t think anybody blinked an eye," said wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, who played with Foles for a time with the Eagles. "He is a guy that everyone knows likes to throw the ball down the field."

Fantasy Impact:

The Chiefs cut nothing from their game plan when Foles entered the game. They didn’t have to. Foles joined the Chiefs during training camp but had a head start on learning the offense because of his one season playing for Reid with the Eagles as a rookie in 2012.

Panthers placed RB Jonathon Brooks on the physically unable to perform list, meaning he now will be out for the 2025 season.

Related Players: Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne

Fantasy Impact:

With the additions of Dowdle and Etienne (fourth round), this was a distinct possibility, and now the move has been made quite early in the post-Draft season. Brooks will be a tough gamble for 2026, but here's hoping for a full recovery for the young back.

Eagles and TE Dallas Goedert agree to reworked deal for 2025

The Eagles and TE Dallas Goedert have agreed to a reworked deal for this season, as Jeff McLane stated. The team had trade offers for Goedert during the draft. He was in the loop. Decided to remain with the team and selflessly restructured to try running it back.

Related Players: Grant Calcaterra, Kylen Granson, Harrison Bryant

Fantasy Impact:

As Garafolo touches on, it seemed like a draft-day trade was very much on the table, but once the smoke cleared, it seemed obvious that the vet would remain on the team for at least one more year. Philadelphia currently has seven tight ends on the roster, so expect to see a lot of those names drop off throughout the summer. Goedert should once again be considered a touchdown-dependent low-end TE1 on a great offense.

Jaguars release WR Gabe Davis

The Jaguars have released WR Gabe Davis, who was due $12.5M this season.

Fantasy Impact:

Davis played in only 10 games for Jacksonville last season, accruing a 20-239-2 stat line while playing mostly out wide. If he were to have stuck around, he likely would have been a deep rotational piece playing behind the newly-acquired Dyami Brown (and Travis Hunter).
