To no one's surprise, Nick Foles wasn't able to repeat his seven-touchdown performance from Week 9. However, Foles still put up top-10 fantasy numbers at his position on Sunday. Foles threw for 228 yards and three touchdowns during Sunday's win over the Green Bay Packers. Foles only had to complete 12 out of 18 passes to eclipse 20 fantasy points in most formats.

Foles did fumble the ball, but was fortunate to avoid any interceptions. He still has zero on the season. There were several occasions when he threw into tight coverage, but the Packers secondary wasn't able to capitalize on his poor judgement. One play in particular was a deflected pass that floated into the hands of DeSean Jackson and then the end zone.
Fantasy impact: Regardless of how Foles managed his fantasy production, the fact remains that he's been one of the top fantasy quarterbacks for two consecutive weeks. It isn't easy to beat the Packers in Lambeau Field even without quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The Eagles relied heavily on the ground game, and Foles was still able to put up good fantasy numbers and come away with a win. He has a juicy match up against the Washington Redskins in Week 11 and will remain a QB1 until he proves otherwise.
