Fantasy Football Quarterback Streaming Week 16: Joe Flacco Can Lead You to a Championship
Flacco has been playing well in recent weeks, and he gets a dreamy home matchup against the Colts. Which other low-owned quarterbacks can help you win your league title?

Nick Foles, Philadelphia Eagles

Yahoo Ownership: 28%

Foles came through in big way in Week 15, torching the New York Giants for 237 yards and 4 touchdowns in his first start of the season. Foles was the QB4 last week, and he's in another juicy spot this week as the Philadelphia Eagles host the Oakland Raiders.

Per our schedule-adjusted metrics, Oakland ranks 31st in both overall defense and pass defense. The Eagles are 9.0-point favorites with a 28.0-point implied total, the second-biggest of the week.

The only blemish here is Foles' touchdown rate. He tossed 4 scores -- an Abe Lincoln -- last week despite throwing for only 237 yards. Yes, his 2017 sample size is just 52 passes, but Foles has a touchdown rate of 7.7% this season while his career clip is 4.5%.

Foles can't keep up this pace over the long haul, but he's more than capable of having another big game against the soft defense of the Raiders.

Honestly, Foles is just as appealing as Flacco is, and no one will blame you for opting for Foles if that's the route you prefer. Our models have Foles as this week's QB16, forecasting him to total 16.88 points -- just 0.05 behind Flacco.
