Is Foles a starter now?
In the NFL? sure, in fantasy? Not on any of my teams...you have to be desperate.

Edited- in a 2 QB league, or 16 reamer and bigger, yes he's an option. Id play him over Rosen, Driskell, whomever Washington tosses to the wolves, guys like that, but not guys like Prescott or Tranny or Lamar..maybe even Allen.

That's ok they just won a SB with the replacement
True, but I do believe the league caught up to the limited things Philly can do with him and still have reasonable success with. They can still compete with him for sure, but I don't think the magic is still in the bottle

Its all in the way the previous year's standings fall. We had to go to ATL and SEA multiple years in a row. It eventually swapped and we got the upper hand. Although we had a decent streak against Seattle going for a little while

every year:
3 road games against your division (DAL, WAS, NYG)
2 road games against 1 AFC division (TEN, JAX)
2 road games against 1 other NFC division (TB, NO)
1 road game against NFC teams that finished in the same spot as your team did within their division (LAR - philly played Minny at home this year, and already had NO game since the NFC North faced off against the NFC South this year)

bet you weren't expecting that detailed of an explanation!!

I guess I knew that I just figured they split the home games..............I'm good with it.........lol. Last year Foles came in and beat us in a close one..........this year I think we will be all over Foles and this might be an ass whoopin.

BTW to all tBears fans out there: Nice win last week. IF (and that's a big IF) Nagy has really figured out that he'll have to play more smash mouth and less cutsie, I think the rest of the league is in deep shit.

Rams injured wentz and he still threw a TD with a torn ACL before foles came in - I guess eagles fans can thank the rams for their SB win, wentz would've lost to Brady

just read Guice has had multiple surgeries after 1st ACL operation got infected
Alex Smith also having complications with his broken leg or ankle

so, Washington's either got terrible trainers/training staff, or they use terrible hospitals....pathetic

mam, assuming he's avoided life/limb threatening complications, the next concern is just how long does that affect rehab/recovery? If he's having more and more, that's a lot of time before even beginning what should already be a long road. Sucks

awful situation, but glad I only have him stashed in 1 dynasty league after this news.
Not a rehad expert, but I'd imagine this puts his training camp in doubt next summer.

I really thought he had a great chance at leading all rookie RBs this year, and judging from what Peterson has been able to accomplish, I think it was a fair assessment before the injury.

The infections really depend on the severity and location

I really didn't think he was all that coming into the league, didn't care for his style, so I didn't go for him anywhere. That being said, he'd still have been a good asset, and the news is a bummer

Crowell and Enunwa ruled out this week

Looks like McGuire has an excellent opportunity for 7-10rec vs Houston, I think you have to get him into the lineup in full PPR leagues unless you have locked in studs in front of him

If Jackson starts I think I gotta play him but I can start McGuire in my flex spot over Doug Martin.

What about standard leagues? Im up a creek this week but I think I would play him in front of Lewis but Mack is the real question since he isnt the pass cathching back and they play Dallas

I'd play him over Mack..Dallas is stout up front and amazing LB's. Tough running, and Mack ain't very tough.

agree with Treff, and I prob like Mack more than him, but I'd still go McGuire

jets should lose and be throwing a ton, that'll keep him on the field most of the game, as long as he holds up
