Colts Benching Matt Ryan For Nick Foles
2 years agoThe Indianapolis Colts are benching quarterback Matt Ryan in favor of Nick Foles for the Week 16 game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night, according to a source. After blowing a historic 33-point lead in the loss to the Minnesota Vikings last Saturday, interim head coach Jeff Saturday has seen enough of the veteran Ryan. The 37-year-old didn't do anything to impress in Week 15, throwing for only 182 yards and one touchdown in the overtime loss. Foles played two offensive snaps in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars but didn't attempt a pass. The 33-year-old will get his first start of 2022 as the Colts look to bounce back from a devastating loss. He'll be nothing more than a desperation low-end QB2 for fantasy managers, and the Chargers defensive unit will become a bit more attractive as a streaming option this week.
