Finally, at long last, some decent news about a Bears quarterback.

Their reasoning for listing Foles 9th on this list is pretty simple too. So simple, in fact, that it's quite literally one sentence long: "Foles is likely to be the starter in Chicago after a short-lived, injury-plagued run in Jacksonville."
There's probably a good argument to be made that Foles is a smart move here, one that goes beyond just assuming he'll be the starting QB. There's also probably a good argument to be made that FanDuel hasn't properly considered Nick Foles' career and lack of substantial season-long production. But hey, positive news! Sort of!
