Mark Sanchez (QB, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All 2 QB Leagues / Deeper 1 QB Leagues

OWNED IN: 21% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: With Nick Foles out for at least the rest of the fantasy season, Mark Sanchez will step in as the quarterback of one of the best fantasy offenses in the NFL.  With only Matt Barkley as a backup, look for his job to be more than secure for the next few weeks. Sanchez has been surprisingly accurate and helped keep this offense explosive during the preseason and this past week against a depleted Houston secondary, making accurate deep throws and also showing more mobility than Foles ever had.

In Chip Kelly’s offense, that’s going to go a long way to giving him low end QB1 value for the rest of the year.  Kelly is not going to change his game plan to adjust to the quarterback change, as this is already the 4th quarterback he’s used in only 25 games with the Eagles, which bodes well for the future passing game usage.  I would expect similar numbers for Sanchez, and he has a great playoff schedule to boot (Cowboys, Redskins). If you need a bye week fill-in and Sanchez is still available, you should consider grabbing this quarterback off the Week 10 waiver wire.
