Scouting report

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.

JAX QB Nick Foles - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Tennessee Titans
With the ground game nearly non-existent in the loss at Indy last week, Nick Foles threw for nearly 300 yards and two TDs. Everything seems to be good with his collarbone, as he attempted 47 passes, completing 70% of them. Foles will be on the road again but has a good matchup against a Titans defense that is in the bottom third against the pass. Jacksonville’s Gardner Minshew threw for just over 200 yards and two scores in the earlier meeting with Tennessee this season, so Foles is more of a QB2 start.

JAX QB Nick Foles - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Indianapolis Colts
After breaking his left clavicle in his first regular-season game with the Jaguars, Nick Foles will be back at QB for the team on Sunday at Indianapolis. The bye week gave Jacksonville’s WRs a chance to get healthy, so Foles will have his full complement of weapons. However, he’ll be facing the No. 9 pass defense in the Colts, which will be out to wreak havoc. Foles is a QB2 play in his return to action.

JAX QB Nick Foles - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Nick Foles makes his official debut for the Jaguars on Sunday at home. As a backup the past three seasons with the Chiefs and Eagles, he’s appeared in 15 regular-season games, tossing 15 TDs and six INTs. Foles resurrected his career in ’17, taking over for the injured Carson Wentz and winning the Super Bowl with Philadelphia. The Chiefs allowed the second-most passing yards last year, but expect a conservative game plan from Jacksonville, utilizing Leonard Fournette and the ground attack to try to keep the high-powered Kansas City offense off the field. Foles is more of a QB2 play in the opener.

JAX QB Nick Foles - 2019 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
The Jaguars had Nick Foles as their top free-agent target, and they didn't waste any time reaching an agreement with the veteran signal caller on a four-year, $88 million deal. Originally drafted by the Eagles in the third round in 2012, Foles bounced around the league before returning to Philly in 2017. It was a move that at the time received little attention but proved to be one of the most important in Eagles history, as Foles took over for Carson Wentz down the stretch that season and helped the team to its first Super Bowl title (while being named Super Bowl MVP). He proved that it was no fluke by saving the Eagles' season for a second time this past year. Now, with Foles as their starter, the Jaguars have a competent passer who has completed 62 percent of his passes in 54 career games, with 68 touchdowns and 33 interceptions. He has the sixth-best career post-season passer rating (98.8) in NFL history.

Fantasy Downside
Even with John DeFilippo (who served as Foles' QBs coach in Philadelphia in 2017) taking over as Jacksonville's offensive coordinator, this will be a run-first and run-heavy attack. In addition, the Jaguars' receiving corps is among the league's least impressive.

2019 Bottom Line
As Profootballtalk.com put it, "Though it often isn't pretty, Foles gets it done. He's cool under fire, and he finds motivation in those who doubt him." Expect him to continue finding a way to get it done -- and to make his new team better in the process -- this season.
