J.J. McCarthy QB | MIN
Vikings' J.J. McCarthy: Struggles against Ravens
McCarthy completed 20 of 42 passes for 248 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Ravens. He added five rushes for 48 yards.
McCarthy started the game well, leading the Vikings to an opening-drive touchdown, primarily on the strength of a 62-yard completion to Jalen Nailor. However, it was an up-and-down performance from there, as he turned the ball over twice in three possessions spanning late in the second quarter to early in the third quarter, changing the trajectory of the game. On the other hand, he had three completions of at least 20 yards while also racking up a season-high 48 rushing yards. McCarthy is likely to remain inconsistent considering he has only four career starts, though he has a positive matchup in Week 11 against Chicago.

Davis Mills QB | HOU
Texans' Davis Mills: Leads fourth-quarter comeback
Mills completed 27 of 45 passes for 292 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 36-29 win over the Jaguars. He added 20 rushing yards and a TD on three carries.
Making his first start of the season with C.J. Stroud (concussion) unavailable, Mills struggled through three quarters before coming to life in the fourth, hitting Jayden Higgins and Dalton Schultz for TDs before running in a 14-yard score of his own to complete a stunning comeback from a 29-10 deficit. Mills could return to the bench in Week 11 against the Titans if Stroud gets cleared to return, but if he gets a second start he likely won't need to be quite as busy.

Baker Mayfield QB | TB
Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Three-TD effort wasted in loss
Mayfield completed 28 of 43 passes for 273 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Buccaneers' 28-23 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Mayfield's final numbers were certainly appealing from a fantasy perspective, although some of the yardage came on a last-ditch drive that he capped off with his final touchdown pass of the day, an 11-yard strike to Tez Johnson. That play was preceded by 21- and 10-yard TDs to Emeka Egbuka and Johnson, respectively, giving Mayfield his first three-touchdown-pass tally since Week 1. The veteran signal-caller's numbers were all the more impressive considering the ongoing absences of Mike Evans (IR, collarbone/concussion), Chris Godwin (fibula) and Bucky Irving (shoulder/foot), and he figures to once again shoulder a heavy workload through the air when the Buccaneers face the Bills on the road in Week 11.

Drake Maye QB | NE
Patriots' Drake Maye: Connects for big plays in win
Maye completed 16 of 31 passes for 270 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while adding seven rushes for 13 yards in the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Maye and the Patriots offense started slowly by netting just 44 yards across 15 plays on their first two possessions, but the second-year signal-caller ignited the unit with a 72-yard touchdown pass to Kyle Williams on the sole play of New England's third drive. He'd add a fourth-down one-yard scoring toss to Stefon Diggs on the final play of the first half, and Maye ultimately finished with his fourth-highest passing yardage total of the campaign. Maye also now has a five-game multi-TD-pass streak heading into Thursday night's Week 11 home matchup against the Jets.

Trevor Lawrence QB | JAC
Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Just one TD in Sunday's loss
Lawrence completed 13 of 23 passes for 158 yards and a touchdown with one interception in Sunday's 36-29 loss to the Texans. He added 35 rushing yards on five carries.
The fifth-year quarterback had a tough day against a fierce Houston defense, getting sacked five times and committing two fumbles, losing one of them. Lawrence has thrown for multiple TDs only twice in nine games to begin the season, and on the year he has a rough 10:7 TD:INT. He faces another stingy opponent in Week 11 against the Chargers, a matchup that could be even tougher if Brian Thomas (ankle) remains sidelined.

Caleb Williams QB | CHI
Bears' Caleb Williams: Leads late comeback with two TDs
Williams completed 20 of 36 passes for 220 yards and a touchdown while rushing eight times for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Giants.
Williams struggled for most of a snowy Chicago afternoon but heated up in the last four minutes as the Bears staged a late comeback. He cut Chicago's deficit to 20-17 with 3:56 remaining in the fourth quarter on a two-yard touchdown pass to Rome Odunze, then Williams capped a four-play, 53-yard drive with a go-ahead 17-yard touchdown run just over two minutes later. The 2024 first overall pick has complemented his 13:4 TD:INT through the air in 2025 with the first three rushing touchdowns of his career, as well as a receiving touchdown. Williams has guided the Bears to a 6-3 record heading into a Week 11 road game against the NFC North rival Vikings.

Tua Tagovailoa QB | MIA
Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Offsets picks with TDs in win
Tagovailoa completed 15 of 21 passes for 173 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions while adding two carries for minus-1 yard in the Dolphins' 30-13 win over the Bills on Sunday.
Tagovailoa's pair of interceptions didn't lead to any Bills points, and he helped offset the miscues with nine- and 38-yard touchdown tosses to Malik Washington and Jaylen Waddle in the first half. Tagovailoa didn't need to do much otherwise, as the Dolphins' defense put together a standout performance that indirectly resulted in the quarterback's fifth sub-200-yard tally of the season. The 2020 first-round pick does now have four multi-interception tallies this season, a troublesome trend Tagovailoa will aim to avoid in a Week 11 overseas matchup against the Commanders in Madrid.

Bryce Young QB | CAR
Panthers' Bryce Young: Poor showing against Saints
Young completed 17 of 25 passes for 124 yards and an interception in Sunday's 17-7 loss to New Orleans. He added six rushing yards on two carries.
The third-year QB failed to produce a touchdown for the second straight game, while extending his streak of games with under 200 passing yards to seven. Young remains a desperation play in most fantasy formats given his limited ceiling heading into a Week 11 trip to Atlanta.

Dillon Gabriel QB | CLE
Browns' Dillon Gabriel: Modest output in Week 10 loss
Gabriel completed 17 of 32 passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jets. He added five rushing attempts for 54 yards.
Gabriel opened the scoring with a nine-yard touchdown pass to David Njoku and connected with Jerry Jeudy for a 22-yard touchdown in the second quarter, but the rookie quarterback completed only 11 of 23 first-half passes for 125 yards. Cleveland's offense struggled in the second half even as Gabriel's accuracy improved slightly, and he came up short of 200 passing yards for the fourth time in five starts as the Browns fell to 2-7 overall. Per Brad Stainbrook of the Browns' official site, head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed after the game that Gabriel will remain the starter for the team's Week 11 rematch versus the Ravens, against whom Gabriel threw his first NFL touchdown pass in Week 2.

Lamar Jackson QB | BAL
Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Held quiet by Vikings
Jackson completed 17 of 29 passes for 176 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Vikings. He added nine rushes for 36 yards.
Jackson helped move the Ravens' offense effectively for most of the game, but he and the rest of the unit repeatedly stalled near the goal line. He managed to break through with a two-yard touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter to Mark Andrews to account for his only score of the game. This performance marked Jackson's second game this season with only one touchdown, though he has found the end zone at least three times in his remaining four contests.
