MATT HARMON: My guy, Allen Robinson? Nick Foles is, like, the best quarterback he's had in his career by, like, a 100-fold, you know?
LIZ LOSA: 100-folds.
MATT HARMON: If Nick Foles is starting games for the Chicago Bears-- well done. That was not bad, Liz. That is such a great outcome for guys like Allen Robinson, Anthony Miller, you know, these players that we care about on the offense. Tarik Cohen, you know, even the running game maybe looks a little bit better. And of course, the ghost of Jimmy Graham that they gave $60 million for whatever [BLEEP] reason, like, he'll be out there, too.
So anyways, there's a lot to like about the Foles move, even if it wasn't my first choice for them, or anyone's first choice, or other people's-- some people, it was their first choice. Like yeah, I think there's a lot to like about the familiarity part of it too.
So there's good here in terms of the fantasy players that we care about in this offense. Like I said, this is easily Alan Robinson's best quarterback that he's ever played with, by a lot.
LIZ LOSA: Yeah, Allen Robinson managed to catch 98 balls with Mitchell Trubisky under center. And I believe his catchable targets were, like, a bottom 50 among wide receivers, you know? Like a ridiculous 70% of the targets thrown his way-- or maybe-- no, I'm sorry. 64% of the targets thrown his way were catchable. So imagine what he can do with Nick Foles and his contested catchability. So I love that as well for fantasy.
