Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles got off to another hot start on Sunday versus the Washington Redskins, but didn't finish the game with much more.

Despite that, Foles turned in a robust stat sheet, picking apart the Redskins defense both through the air, and to the surprise of many, on scrambles as well. Foles finished the afternoon completing 17-of-26 passes for 298 yards and ran for 47 yards and a touchdown, although he came within inches of having two passing touchdowns. Brent Celek and Riley Cooper were each tackled at the 1-yard line, and Cooper's reception looked to have been a touchdown, but it was not reviewed.
Fantasy Spin: It's been a tremendous stretch of games for fantasy owners savvy enough to get Foles into their lineups three weeks ago when he erupted for a seven-touchdown performance against the Oakland Raiders. By abusing one of the league's lowest-ranked pass defenses in Washington, Foles continues his incredible start to the season and remains with 16 touchdowns on the season and no interceptions.
Fantasy owners will need to find another option for Foles next week with the Eagles on a bye, but he faces an exploitable matchup in Week 13 versus an Arizona Cardinals defense that has allowed 18 touchdowns through the air. Fantasy owners could do much worse than to resume starting the hot-handed Foles going forward.
