Fantasy Football Waiver Wire 2013: Top 10 Week 11 pickups
3. Nick Foles-QB-Philadelphia Eagles (45.4%)
In one of the most intriguing storylines in the NFL this week, Chip Kelly has to decide whether to stick with Nick Foles who has been incredible the last few weeks or go back to Michael Vick who was his original starter before a hamstring injury cost him the last few weeks. As long as Foles starts, he’s a great pickup and play coming off back-to-back monster weeks.
So far this season, Foles has thrown 16 TD’s and no interceptions. He threw three more touchdowns this week against the Packers after tying the NFL record with seven the week before against Oakland. Foles three TD’s were accompanied by 228 yards although he only attempted 18 passes since LeSean McCoy was running the ball effectively.
Foles has shown he can run Chip Kelly’s offense effectively, so I think he’ll stay under center and is a low-end QB1 going forward. This week, the Eagles take on Washington whose secondary has been beatable all season making Foles a nice play if he gets the starting nod as it appears he will.
