player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Chicago Bears. Nick Foles. QB. 24. 57

2020 stats: 1,852 yards | 65.6 completion % | 10 TDs | 8 INTs | 6.1 YPA | 48.3 QBR

Last Week: 27

Foles has been incredibly underwhelming. It’s tough to be both conservative and turnover prone but here we are. The Bears have tanked with their quarterbacks, losing four straight.

New Orleans Saints. player. 15. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. QB. Taysom Hill. 23

2020 stats: 319 yards | 78.6 completion % | 0 TDs | 0 INTs | 11.4 YPA | 60.6 QBR

Last Week: NA

Hill was solid in his much-anticipate first start. There were some ugly throws, but Hill made some quality ones as well and contributed with a couple rushing touchdowns as well. All told, promising.

Scouting Report. QB. Alex Smith. player. 58. Pick Analysis. Washington Football Team. 22

2020 stats: 918 yards | 68.2 completion % | 2 TDs | 4 INTs | 7.1 YPA | 46.3 QBR

Last Week: 26

Smith’s performance against Cincinnati was mediocre. He threw for 166 yards and a pick, all while completing only one pass more than 15 air yards. It wasn’t a great day, but more than enough to win.

Pick Analysis. QB. 21. player. 59. Scouting Report. Miami Dolphins. Tua Tagovailoa

2020 stats: 602 yards | 6.9 completion % | 6 TDs | 0 INTs | 6.2 YPA | 61.1 QBR

Last Week: 21

The surprise of the week. Not that Tagovailoa struggled against Vic Fangio’s defense, but that he was benched. His throw chart was very unimpressive, so head coach Brian Flores had reason in the short-term to do it, but the move opens up a litany of questions.

31. Pick Analysis. QB. player. 20. Scouting Report. New York Giants. Daniel Jones

2020 stats: 2,122 yards | 63.5 completion % | 8 TDs | 9 INTs | 6.4 YPA | 65.6 QBR

Last Week: 23

Jones and the Giants have a real shot to win the NFC East (insert joke here) and those hopes rely heavily on him avoiding turnovers after the bye. Can he do it?

QB. 19. 47. Scouting Report. New England Patriots. Cam Newton. player. Pick Analysis

2020 stats: 1,900 yards | 68.1 completion % | 4 TDs | 7 INTs | 7.7 YPA | 56.0 QBR

Last Week: 22

Newton actually played very well against the Texans, even in a humbling defeat. Despite no weaponry whatsoever, the former MVP threw for 365 yards including seven completions over 15 air yards.
