I was going through my matchup this week, and doing some add/drops... noticed Nick Foles is somehow available. I have Matt Ryan as my backup, and he hasn't been so great as of late. Not hurting for a QB, but (1) Nick is playing at a higher level right now, and has more to "play for" down the stretch; (2) don't want to get Foles'd by anyone else. Should I snag Nick, and dump Matty Ice?
Absolutely. I've got Wilson on bye this week, Ryan has been my backup, but I just dropped him for Tolzien. If Foles was available I would have soiled my drawers. I in no way shape or form trust Ryan even for a week at this point, and especially not against NO.
As bad of a quarterback he has been... He has only really had 2-3 bad fantasy games all season. They're always trailing, so he's just throwing constantly playing catch up.
Foles is still available? Are you in an 8 team league? I would say foles may be a little better option right now but its not the end of the world to Have Ryan as your #2
