   Newton was the top quarterback this Sunday, but there were several other passers who also came up big for their fantasy owners.  Rookie quarterback Nick Foles had an outstanding performance for the Eagles vs. Tampa Bay today.  Foles threw for 381 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions and ran for 27 yards, 1 touchdown.  The Eagles were victorious today, with Foles throwing the game winning touchdown pass as time expired to beat Tampa Bay.  Foles finished with 33.94 fantasy points on the day.  Eli Manning also had a strong outing as the Giants beat up on the Saints 52-27.  Eli certainly didn't have problems finding the end zone today.  He had 4 touchdowns, throwing for 259 yards with 2 interceptions. Eli got his fantasy owners 28.06 points.
