Nick Foles, Riley Cooper, Jordan Matthews' Post-Week 6 Fantasy Outlook

It's hard to trust Nick Foles in fantasy football, or anyone whose success is connected to the suddenly enigmatic quarterback for that matter. Riley Cooper and Jordan Matthews are two athletic and capable receivers, but fantasy owners should pump their brakes before tabbing any member of this trio for starting spots before shopping around.

Despite the fact that the Philadelphia Eagles manhandled the New York Giants 27-0 on Sunday night and Foles tossed two touchdown passes in the process, he still threw two more interceptions.

Player	Attempts-Completions	Yards	TDs	INT
Player	Receptions	Yards	TDs	Targets
Nick Foles	21-34	248	2	2
Riley Cooper	5	59	0	7
Jordan Matthews	4	50	0	6

That drives his season total up to seven on the season. That's going to be especially alarming to owners in leagues that penalize for picks. The Eagles have been leaning heavily on the run game, and Sunday night's game was no exception.

Running back LeSean McCoy had 149 yards on the ground. Because of this approach, Foles doesn't seem like a likely candidate for many 300-yard games. That said, his track record this season for turnovers proves he's more likely to get points subtracted from your squad.

Translation: He's not really worth the gamble at this point.

As for the receivers, Cooper was a major focus receiving the most targets (seven) of any of the Eagles receivers. Still, he and Matthews were well beneath the 100-yard mark at 59 and 50, respectively. Neither man has come close to that mark all season.

Based on that and Foles' inconsistency, there's no reason to look to these three Eagles for fantasy success.
