Description: USA Today reports that the Chiefs are looking into acquiring Eagles quarterback Nick Foles. | Insight: Now that Michael Vick, a perfect fit for Chip Kelly's new run-oriented attack, has re-signed with the Eagles, it doesn't look like Foles will have a chance to start in 2013. Andy Reid coached Foles in Philadelphia so playing for him again in Kansas City wouldn't be a difficult transition. If the Chiefs are able to trade for Foles (six TD, five INT last season), they would likely release incumbent starter Matt Cassel (six TD, 12 INT). | | |

Description: The signing of Chip Kelly as the new head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles may not be good news for fantasy owners who were planning on keeping quarterback Nick Foles on their dynasty rosters. | Insight: Foles had a nice season as the replacement for injured Michael Vick, but at 6'5" and 245 lbs he is not the type of quarterback Kelly has utilized in his wide open Oregon offenses. | | |

Description: Eagles rookie quarterback Nick Foles had his second career 300-yard passing game Sunday versus Washington, but it will be his last of the season as he suffered a broken hand. | Insight: Foles had thrown for over 300 yards in two of the last three games, but wasn't in the class of the other more well-known rookie starting QBs - Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III or Russell Wilson. Still he showed plenty of potential if the Eagles can straighten out their offensive line. | | |

Description: Eagles rookie quarterback Nick Foles had his second career 300-yard game Sunday versus Washington. Foles completed 32-48 for 345 yards with one touchdown and one pick. He also lost a fumble for the second straight game. | Insight: Foles has coughed up the ball eight times in seven games, but he has proven capable of moving the offense as of late. As a result, Jeremy Maclin and Jason Avant have had renewed fantasy relevance. | | |

Description: Eagles rookie quarterback Nick Foles threw for a career-high 381 yards with two touchdowns and added 27 yards and a touchdown on the ground Sunday at Tampa Bay in a comeback victory. | Insight: Foles threw a game-winning touchdown to Jeremy Maclin as time expired. The emergence of Philadelphia's passing offense likely has a lot more to do with the sorry state of Tampa Bay's defense than anything else. Foles shouldn't be trusted Thursday against the Bengals. | | |
| 12/3/2012 12:17:00 PM |
Description: Eagles coach Andy Reid has announced that Nick Foles will be the team's starter at quarterback for the rest of the season. | Insight: With Michael Vick likely to be released after the season, this is basically an audition to see if Foles is capable of running the offense heading into 2013. Foles had his best game of the year Sunday against Dallas, completing 22-of-34 passes for 251 yards and a touchdown. | | |

Description: Eagles rookie QB Nick Foles will start against the Panthers Monday with Michael Vick (concussion) still not cleared to play. SOURCE: Philadelphia Inquirer | Insight: Fantasy owners shouldn't let Foles get anywhere near the lineup this week after he threw two picks and fumbled three times (losing none) in Week 11 against the pitiful Redskins defense. Carolina D/ST could be a nice play this week. | | |

Description: Eagles rookie QB Nick Foles could find himself as the full-time starter for the rest of the season due to Michael Vick's concussion. Two sources said Monday that it's a pretty strong bet that Vick will be "rested" for the remainder of the season by coach Andy Reid. SOURCE: Jason Cole, Yahoo! Sports | Insight: "I'm 99 percent sure that's exactly what you're going to see happen," one of the sources told Yahoo! Sports. "Andy is going to go to (owner) Jeff (Lurie) and (GM) Howie (Roseman) and say, 'Let's go with Foles and make the transition to the next era.'" Reid is likely to be fired but there's an outside chance he can save his job if Foles plays well and Reid convinces ownership that he's the reason behind the rookie's development. | | |

Description: Eagles rookie QB Nick Foles threw for 219 yards on 22-of-32 passing with one touchdown and one interception in relief of Michael Vick (concussion) Sunday against Dallas. | Insight: Foles also lost a fumble. The rookie showed good poise in the pocket for most of the game and could be a decent QB2 if Vick has to miss time. He certainly has the weapons to do so in DeSean Jackson (5-62), Jeremy Maclin (8-93-1) and LeSean McCoy (16 carries, 82 yards). | | |

Description: With questions surrounding Michael Vick, smart fantasy owners should claim backup quarterback Nick Foles in case there is a change at quarterback for the Eagles | Insight: The rookie quarterback won the backup job by going 40-of-63 (63.5 percent) for 553 yards with six touchdowns and two interceptions in the preseason. | | |
| 9/24/2012 12:50:00 PM |
Description: At his Monday press conference, Eagles coach Andy Reid said of quarterback Michael Vick, "right now we're with Michael. We'll evaluate it as we go." | Insight: Rookie quarterback Nick Foles is the handcuff for Vick and must be added to your roster after coach Reid's latest statement at the team's Monday news conference. Vick has been turnover prone and beat up over the first three weeks of the season. | | |
| 8/25/2012 10:58:00 AM |
Description: After another solid performance on Friday night (12-of-19 for 146 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT), Eagles rookie quarterback Nick Foles has to be considered the handcuff for starter Michael Vick. | Insight: With the oft-injured Vick already nursing bruised ribs, it's a must for anyone selecting Vick to also draft Foles. Foles is 36-of-57 for 509 yards and six TDs this preseason. | | |
| 8/22/2012 11:24:00 AM |
Description: Eagles rookie quarterback Nick Foles, who has looked very good in the team's first two preseason games will get a chance to play against the first string in Friday's game as he's set to start the game against the Browns due to the latest injury to Michael Vick. | Insight: Coach Andy Reid usually prefers veteran backup quarterbacks, but we should see a lot of Foles in the coming weeks and he could win the all-important handcuff role. | | |
| 8/11/2012 10:28:00 AM |
Description: Eagles rookie quarterback Nick Foles, who looked very good in the team's preseason game with Pittsburgh while throwing for 144 yards and a pair of touchdowns, could see a lot more action with backup Mike Kafka breaking his non-throwing hand. Kafka is expected to miss three weeks. | Insight: Andy Reid usually prefers veteran backup quarterbacks, but we should see a lot of Foles in the coming weeks. | | |
| 8/10/2012 10:17:00 AM |
Description: The Philadelphia Eagles third-round selection this spring, Nick Foles, looked very good in the team's preseason game with Pittsburgh, throwing for 144 yards and a pair of touchdowns. | Insight: Rookie quarterbacks don't normally see much action in an Andy Reid offense, but backup Mike Kafka didn't play well. If this continues throughout the exhibition season, Foles could end up being the handcuff to injury-prone Michael Vick. This is a must watch the rest of the preseason. | | |
| 5/13/2012 1:29:00 PM |
Description: The Philadelphia Inquirer has posted a report that third-round selection Nick Foles will not be the backup to Michael Vick in 2012. That role will go to either Mike Kafka or Trent Edwards. It's an important spot given Vick's injury-prone history. | Insight: Rookie quarterbacks don't normally see much action in an Andy Reid offense and Foles is no exception. | | |
