Potential trade candidate
Entering camp as the No. 3 quarterback, Foles would be a logical trade candidate if another team suffers an injury during training camp, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN reports.
Analysis: After throwing 10 touchdown passes in nine games last year and throwing 35 touchdowns over 39 starts since 2015, Foles would likely be a veteran backup if dealt, and if he was able to move back into a starting role, his value would primarily be in leagues that start two quarterbacks.

Drops down pecking order
Bears head coach Matt Nagy said Wednesday that the plan this offseason is to have Foles handle No. 3 quarterback duties, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Bears initially added veteran Andy Dalton this offseason to compete with Foles, but the latter was thrust further down the pecking order when Chicago traded up in the draft to select Justin Fields with the No. 11 overall pick. Despite having guaranteed money in his contract in both 2021 and 2022, Foles clearly isn't in the team's long-term plans after an underwhelming debut campaign in Chicago in 2020.

Could remain in Chicago
Despite Justin Fields and Andy Dalton being ahead of Foles on the depth chart, Foles' contract may make him difficult to trade, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reports.
Analysis: Foles has guaranteed money in his contract in both 2021 and 2022, so despite being third on the depth chart after the Bears drafted Justin Fields, he may be difficult to trade. Unless the team moves on from Foles, allowing him to become a free agent, his fantasy value will be nearly nonexistent, as it's unlikely he'd be more than the emergency quarterback on game day.

Ends regular season in reserve role
Foles attempted just one pass after being removed as the Bears' starting quarterback after Week 10.
Analysis: Foles started eight games in his first year with the Bears, throwing for 1,852 yards and 10 touchdowns along with eight interceptions before giving back the starting job to Mitchell Trubisky. With Trubisky going into the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, it's possible that Foles will be in competition to be the team's starting quarterback in Week 1 of the 2021 season, though it's unlikely he'll be considered as any more than a top-20 fantasy option at his position. He's currently signed…read more

Clear for Week 13
Foles (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Analysis: Foles came into the morning labeled as questionable, but full practice sessions for the 31-year-old Thursday and Friday hinted at a likely Week 13 return. He wasn't able to suit up last Sunday night against the Packers and will now revert to a backup role for another divisional showdown against Detroit.

Gets questionable tag
The Bears list Foles (hip) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Analysis: Though the questionable designation implies that Foles has a 50-50 chance to play, he looks to be trending toward active status after practicing in full capacity Thursday and Friday. Head coach Matt Nagy backed up that sentiment Thursday, saying that he expects Foles to return from a two-week absence to back up Mitchell Trubisky, according to Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site. Nagy hasn't committed to Trubisky as the team's starting quarterback for the rest of the season, so a poor…read more

Puts in full practice
Foles (hip) was a full practice participant Thursday.
Analysis: After sitting out last week's loss to the Packers with the hip injury, Foles looks poised to play Sunday against the Lions, but he won't be returning to action in a starting role with head coach Matt Nagy naming Mitch Trubisky as the team's Week 13 signal-caller. Per Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site, Nagy said he expects Foles to be healthy enough to handle the No. 2 duties this weekend, a notion that would be supported by the Bears not adding another quarterback to the roster before…read more

Back at practice
Foles (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Foles was unable to practice in any capacity before being deemed inactive of last Sunday's loss in Green Bay, so it's encouraging to see him back on the field in at least a limited fashion. Coach Matt Nagy has already named Mitchell Trubisky the starting quarterback for Week 13, but it's possible that Foles could be available as the No. 2 option over Tyler Bray in the Bears' matchup with the Lions.

Sitting Sunday, as expected
Foles (hip) is inactive for Sunday's contest at Green Bay.
Analysis: On the heels of the Bears' bye, Foles didn't practice at all this week due to a hip pointer suffered in the team's last game Nov. 16. Because he was listed as doubtful, there was little reason to believe Foles would be available Week 12, and Chicago forecast his absence by elevating Tyler Bray from the practice squad Saturday. Consequently, Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) will start for the first time since Week 3. Beyond Sunday, coach Matt Nagy hasn't committed to Foles or Trubisky, so the former…read more

Doubtful for Sunday
Foles (hip) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game at Green Bay.
Analysis: Unable to practice in any capacity this week, Foles appears highly unlikely to play. Meanwhile, Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) was a full participant Wednesday through Friday, and he doesn't have an injury designation for the game. Trubisky likely will make his first start since Week 3.

Sits out again Thursday
Foles (hip) missed Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Afterward, coach Matt Nagy continued to call Foles day-to-day and said the team will examine the team's QB situation Friday before making a call on its Week 12 starting signal-caller. Considering Foles has yet to step on the field and Mitchell Trubisky (right shoulder) has back-to-back full sessions under his belt, the latter seems to be trending toward the starting nod. Still, Nagy seems to be leaving the door open for Foles to get in some reps before naming one of the duo as the No. 1 QB for…read more

Sits out Wednesday's practice
Foles (hip) was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: According to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, head coach Matt Nagy said he's viewing Foles as day-to-day, so the signal-caller still has a chance to be available for Sunday's game against the Packers. In the meantime, however, Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) will get the opportunity to work as the Bears' top quarterback in practice. After a string of underwhelming performances, Foles wasn't guaranteed to remain the Bears' starter coming out of a Week 11 bye, and the decision to potentially…read more

Starter for Week 12 still unnamed
Coach Matt Nagy said Monday that it's "too soon" to announce whether Foles (hip) or Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) will start Sunday's game against the Packers, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Both Foles and Trubisky are dealing with injuries coming off the Bears' bye. Foles picked up what is believed to be a severe hip pointer versus the Vikings on Nov. 16, while Trubisky's shoulder issue has kept him off the field since Week 8. Per Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times, only Trubisky was present at the portion of Monday's practice open to the media, and a decision on the starter for Week 12 could be revealed as early as Wednesday. Foles has just a 10:8 TD:INT across eight games…read more

Positive spin on health
Coach Matt Nagy said Tuesday that Foles' hip/glute injuries aren't "as bad as we once thought," Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. "Everything looked good so far," Nagy added.
Analysis: Foles has been under evaluation since he landed hard on his right hip in the waning moments of Monday's 19-13 defeat to the Vikings. Earlier Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported that Foles doesn't have fracture in the region, and there's a belief the QB is dealing with a severe hip pointer, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. With an MRI expected later Tuesday, Foles is considered "day-to-day" by Nagy, per Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, as the coach doesn't foresee him landing…read more

Doesn't have fracture
According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Foles avoided a fracture in his right hip when he was knocked out of Monday's 19-13 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: As the Bears attempted to mount a game-winning drive, Foles was slammed to the ground and landed hard on his right hip, remaining there for a few minutes before he was carted from the field. After the contest, coach Matt Nagy said Foles' leg and hip were under evaluation, but despite Garafolo's report that he doesn't have a broken bone in the region the quarterback will continue to undergo tests to determine the extent of the injury. The Bears have entered their bye week, so they'll have nearly…read more

Carted off field
Foles was carted off the field in the fourth quarter of Monday's game against the Vikings, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Analysis: Foles was slammed to the ground on the final drive of the contest and stayed down after the hit. After the game, head coach Matt Nagy stated that Foles was being evaluated for a hip or leg injury, per Mark Maske of The Washington Post. Tyler Bray filled in the rest of the way. Prior to exiting, Foles completed 15 of 26 passes for 106 yards and an interception.

Big production in loss
Foles completed 36 of 52 passes for 335 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears' 24-17 loss to the Titans on Sunday.
Analysis: With the Bears missing multiple offensive linemen and the running game almost nonexistent, Foles was under heavy pressure for most of the afternoon. However, with the Bears trailing throughout, the sheer volume of pass attempts resulted in him posting a solid fantasy performance. Although he's thrown for at least 272 yards and multiple touchdowns in each of the last two games, his lack of major upside makes Foles a top-20 quarterback option for fantasy managers.

Fires two scoring strikes
Foles completed 28 of 41 passes for 272 yards and two touchdowns along with one interception in Chicago's 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: Foles had a pair of long passes to Darnell Mooney and Allen Robinson on the same drive that resulted in 74 yards and a touchdown but otherwise had to rely on short passes and 41 attempts to earn him his best fantasy performance since taking over as the Bears' starting quarterback in Week 4. Playing for a team that stresses defense and a conservative offense, Foles offers fantasy managers a reasonable floor but limited upside, and he's typically a top-20 option most weeks.

Fails to produce touchdown in loss
Foles completed 28 of 40 passes for 261 yards and two interceptions in Chicago's 24-10 loss to the Rams on Monday.
Analysis: Foles was under pressure all night, leading to a disappointing performance. Although he had the Bears deep in the red zone twice, on one occasion, he threw an interception on a pass intended for Darnell Mooney, and on the other possession, he took a sack on a fourth-down play. With one or fewer touchdown passes in each of his last four games, he's best used as a fantasy option in leagues that start two quarterbacks or as a deep-league bye week fill-in.

Accounts for two scores
Foles completed 23 of 39 passes for 198 yards a touchdown and an interception while also running for a score in Chicago's 23-16 victory over the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: With Chicago unable to take advantage of a weak Carolina run defense, Foles threw the ball 39 times, though he rarely pushed the ball downfield, leading to a poor yardage performance. However, after David Montgomery was stuffed on consecutive goal-line carries, Foles scored on a quarterback sneak, and on his lone touchdown pass, he threw the ball into triple coverage, though Cole Kmet fought off defenders to haul in the pass. Despite averaging 40 pass attempts per game, Foles has thrown exactly…read more

Efficient performance in victory
Foles completed 30 of 42 passes for 243 yards with a touchdown and an interception in Chicago's 20-19 win over the Buccaneers on Thursday.
Analysis: Foles went through stretches of being hot and cold in the first half, but after the intermission he leaned heavily upon Allen Robinson while largely ignoring most of his other receivers, especially while the Buccaneers were putting quite a bit of pressure on him. Over his first two starts with the Bears, he's been performing as a top-24 quarterback option, and although he'll have the occasional big game, he'll mostly have limited upside.

Underwhelming in loss
Foles completed 26 of 42 passes for 249 yards with a touchdown and an interception in Chicago's 19-11 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
Analysis: Foles was having a terrible fantasy performance until the last drive of the game, when he consistently hooked up with Allen Robinson for a number of chunk plays that earned him a respectable yardage total along with his only touchdown of the day. Otherwise, he was erratic for most of the contest until the Colts were winning big in the fourth quarter and went to a prevent defense that allowed many short completions.

Confirmed as Week 4 starter
Coach Matt Nagy said Monday that Foles will start against the Colts on Sunday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Foles replaced Mitchell Trubisky early in the second half of Week 3's road matchup in Atlanta, and he spurred Chicago's offense to a double-digit comeback while throwing for 188 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. He also had a would-be score that was dropped, and yet another touchdown that was overturned by replay. Coming off the efficient comeback performance, it's not surprising to see Foles named the starter for Week 4, but it remains to be seen how long of a leash he'll have if…read more

Analysis: Foles entered the game early in the second half after Mitchell Trubisky was ineffective while the Bears were trailing double digits. Not only did Foles rally the team to an improbable victory, but he also had an additional touchdown overturned by replay and yet another potential score dropped. In leading the comeback, he took full advantage of an undermanned Atlanta secondary by leaning heavily upon Allen Robinson and Jimmy Graham.

Enters game following halftime
Foles replaced Mitchell Trubisky after halftime of Sunday's game versus the Falcons, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Trubisky was expected to have a short leash after the Bears traded for Foles, and they pulled him after a mediocre first half where he completed 13 of 21 passes for 128 yards (6.1 YPA) and a touchdown. Foles has a chance to establish himself as the team's No. 1 quarterback in the second half, but if he underwhelms, it could turn into a QB competition in Chicago.

Backing up Trubisky in Week 1
Foles will back up Mitchell Trubisky in Week 1's matchup versus the Lions, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Foles' performance in training camp apparently made this a tough decision, but the 31-year-old quarterback had plenty working against his favor, including Trubisky's draft capital and veteran status with the team. Ultimately, head coach Matt Nagy will give Trubisky one more shot to prove he can be a consistent NFL starter, and he could have little room for error with Foles waiting in the wings.

Starting role not certain
The Bears are not expected to name a starting quarterback, whether it be Foles or Mitchell Trubisky, ahead of their Week 1 contest against the Lions, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Coach Matt Nagy declined to even allude to which QB was having a better training camp, as he deferred to general coach speak regarding the two players. This type of gamesmanship makes sense from a NFL perspective, but it is certainly a frustrating conundrum for fantasy players. All indications from Bears beat writers seem to give Foles the starting nod, though each report is cushioned with the idea neither has exactly "earned" the aforementioned spot, rather Trubisky has simply struggled more.…read more

Pushing ahead of Trubisky?
Foles outplayed Mitch Trubisky at Tuesday's practice, perhaps taking the lead in the Bears' quarterback competition, Adam Hoge of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Analysis: Rather than Foles making a great impression, Hoge characterizes the situation as a matter of Trubisky struggling more than the former in the session. Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune seemingly supports Hoge's observations, noting that coach Matt Nagy "wasn't thrilled" with what he saw from either quarterback, who were both too quick to settle for checkdowns.

Alternating as starter
Foles is rotating with Mitchell Trubisky each day in practice as the starting quarterback,
Analysis: As long as this routine continues, there will be little clarity as to which quarterback will be under center in Week 1, and without the benefit of preseason games, neither will be able to separate himself against an opposing defense. Regardless, whichever signal caller emerges will likely settle in as a low-end QB2 for fantasy managers.

Headed for job competition
Foles and Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) will have an open competition for the starting quarterback job, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Coach Matt Nagy said Trubisky will get the first snap once the team is able to practice, though it sounds like the Bears aren't making any assumptions beyond that. The team dealt a fourth-round pick to Jacksonville for Foles, who then agreed to a restructured contract that maintains his guarantees but reduces his base salary, with the added benefit of player options to void the deal after 2020 or 2021.

Foles negotiated a restructuring of his contract after the Bears agreed to trade for him Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Bears will fork over a fourth-round pick to the Jaguars in exchange for the 31-year-old quarterback, who has three seasons and approximately $57 million remaining on a four-year, $88 million contract, per OverTheCap.com. The new agreement maintains the guarantee on his 2020 base salary and also gives Foles the option to void his contract and become a free agent after 2020 or 2021.

Deal to Chicago in place
The Jaguars agreed Wednesday to trade Foles to the Bears in exchange for a future fourth-round draft pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Bears coach Matt Nagy's familiarity with Foles from their time together in Kansas City likely factored heavily into Chicago's decision to swing a deal for the veteran signal-caller. Once the trade becomes official, Foles will join a quarterback room that also includes Mitchell Trubisky, thus presumably setting up a job competition at the position once the Bears resume team activities.

Trade offers declined
The Jaguars have turned down trade offers for Foles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Jaguars reportedly intend to have Foles and Gardner Minshew duke it out for the starting job this spring/summer, but they could change the plan if trade offers improve. Foles is entering the second season of a four-year, $88 million contract, with his $15.125 million base salary for 2020 fully guaranteed, per overthecap.com. Any team that acquired him wouldn't be committed beyond 2020, as Foles doesn't have any additional guarantees kicking in until the fifth day of the 2021 league year.

Hoping to rebound in 2020
Foles has no intention of retiring and plans to "come out slinging" in 2020, Mark Long of the Associated Press reports.
Analysis: The news is hardly surprising given the 30-year-old signed a four-year, $88 million deal in March, though he had considered retirement earlier in his career. Regardless, the veteran quarterback's first season as a Jaguar was one to forget, as he suffered a fractured left clavicle in the season opener and was benched after returning from the subsequent eight-game stint on injured reserve.

Foles was replaced by Gardner Minshew to start the second half of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Foles completed seven of 14 passes for 93 yards and an interception with two lost fumbles, leading to a 25-0 deficit after two quarters. The Jaguars have been pummeled in three games since the veteran quarterback returned Week 11, and Sunday's turnover-prone performance provided little reason to allow him to finish the contest.

Remains starting quarterback
Coach Doug Marrone suggested after Sunday's 42-20 loss to the Titans that Foles will remain the Jaguars' starting quarterback, Gene Frenette of The Florida Times-Union reports. "We got to figure it out with the guys we have," Marrone said, when asked about a potential change under center. "You got to keep fighting. You got to keep trying."
Analysis: In his first two games since returning from a fractured left clavicle, Foles has completed 68.4 percent of his pass attempts, but he's generally struggled to move the offense (6.0 YPA) while the Jaguars have lost both contests handily. Though the Jaguars now sit at 4-7 and received generally strong play from rookie Gardner Minshew earlier this season, Marrone apparently isn't ready to throw the towel in on Foles.

No TDs in loss to Titans
Foles completed 32 of 48 pass attempts for 272 yards and carried three times for 20 yards during Sunday's 42-20 loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Foles completed a respectable 67 percent of his passes but averaged a poor 5.7 yards per attempt due to a lack of shots downfield. He failed to account for a touchdown for the first time in his last six outings as the team deferred to Leonard Fournette near the goal line on a couple of occasions. All in all, this wasn't the worst performance from Foles, but it did little do back up his 296-yard, two-touchdown effort from a week ago. He will face a much more favorable matchup next Sunday against…read more

Attempts 47 passes in return
Foles completed 33 of 47 pass attempts for 296 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in the team's Week 11 matchup against the Colts.
Analysis: Foles looked comfortable immediately in his first game action since Week 1, completing six of his first seven passes. That stretch was highlighted by a 34-yard touchdown toss to DJ Chark, and he added his second score -- a 20-yard pass -- with just under a minute remaining in the game. Though Foles was reliant more upon volume than efficiency, he completed five passes over 15 yards and showed few signs of rust. He'll look to overcome a tough matchup in Week 12 at the Titans.

Foles (collarbone) will be activated from injured reserve after the Jaguars' Week 10 bye and resume duties as the team's starting quarterback Nov. 17 versus the Colts, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
Analysis: Foles' status as the long-term starter came into question after he got hurt in Week 1, allowing rookie Gardner Minshew to step in and find some early success directing the offense. However, Minshew lost momentum in Sunday's turnover-filled loss to the Texans, prompting coach Doug Marrone to hand the starting job back over to Foles, who should be fully recovered from his collarbone injury after the bye.

Role uncertain if available Week 11
Foles (collarbone) is expected to be reinstated from injured reserve ahead of the Jaguars' Week 11 game against the Texans, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports there's "no guarantee" the signal-caller gets the starting job back upon his return.
Analysis: Since Foles fractured his left clavicle in the season opener, rookie Gardner Minshew has stepped in to lead the Jaguars to a 4-3 record as a starter while completing 61.9 percent of his throws for 7.6 yards per attempt and a 13:2 TD:INT ratio. If Minshew maintains a hot hand and leads the Jaguars to a win over Houston in London on Sunday, coach Doug Marrone may not be compelled to make a change at quarterback coming out of the Jaguars' bye week. Regardless of how Minshew performs in the outing,…read more
