I like Fej and think he's earned some extra snaps on D, but every time a backup makes a couple of plays or has a good game doesn't mean they should be immediately promoted into a starting role. People thought Cody Core was a legitimate #2 or #3 after one game against Baltimore. People thought AJ McCarron was a franchise QB after a handful of games. Backups are expected to produce when their number is called. Many times, they can be productive in the short term because other teams don't have film on them and don't know their strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies.
