McCoy completed 22 of 26 passes for 249 yards and a touchdown and gained 23 yards on seven carries in Sunday's 31-17 win over the 49ers.

Getting the start in place of Kyler Murray (ankle), McCoy mostly relied on the Cards' running game to keep the chains moving, but the veteran QB made few mistakes when he did need to air it out. Assuming Murray is able to return to the lineup in Week 10 against the Panthers, McCoy will return to his backup duties.

Hurts completed 11 of 17 passes for 162 yards and a touchdown and gained 62 yards on 10 carries in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chargers.

For the second straight game, Hurts attempted fewer than 20 passes, and for the fourth time in the last five games he threw for fewer than 200 yards. What tosses he did make mostly went to DeVonta Smith, as the rookie hauled in 71.6 percent of his passing yards. Hurts' running gives him a strong fantasy floor, but the Eagles' reluctance to let him loose as a passer limits his ceiling heading into a Week 10 clash with the Broncos.

Herbert completed 32 of 38 passes for 356 yards and two touchdowns while gaining 14 yards and a TD on five carries in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Eagles. He also threw a two-point conversion.

After two shaky performances sandwiched around the Chargers' Week 7 bye, Herbert rebounded with one of his sharpest performances of the season. He leaned heavily on his tight ends in the red zone, tossing TDs to Donald Parham and Stephen Anderson and hitting Jared Cook for a two-point conversion. Herbert will take an 18:6 TD:INT, plus two rushing scores, through eight games into a Week 10 clash with the Vikings.

Bridgewater completed 19 of 28 pass attempts for 249 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Cowboys. He added three rushes for -1 yards and one touchdown.

Bridgewater picked apart the Cowboys' defense and averaged 8.9 yards per attempt. The primary thing holding him back from a bigger performance was game script, as the Broncos played from ahead for the majority of the game, and Bridgewater completed only three passes in the second half. Even so, he now has multiple total touchdowns in four of his last five games heading into a Week 10 matchup against Philadelphia.

Mahomes completed 20 of 37 pass attempts for 166 yards and one touchdown against Green Bay on Sunday.

For the third week in a row, Mahomes had a favorable matchup but averaged under six yards per pass attempt and failed to score multiple touchdowns. Even before this brutal three-game stretch, Mahomes had more turnovers (five) than touchdowns (four) in Weeks 5 and 6, so he's been struggling for five weeks now. Mahomes is clearly too good of a quarterback -- and players like Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce are too good as pass catchers -- for these struggles to last forever, but it's alarming that it has taken this long to sort out their struggles. An adjustment of some kind in the Kansas City offense might be necessary, and such maneuvering could come before the Chiefs face the Raiders on Sunday Night Football in Week 10.

Carr completed 30 of his 46 passes for 296 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Giants. He also ran twice for five yards and lost a fumble.

Carr took to the air more than 40 times for the third time this season, though production didn't follow. He was picked off twice -- one of which was returned for a touchdown -- and he also lost a fumble on a potential game-tying drive with 44 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Carr also failed to record multiple touchdowns for only the second time this season despite the multitude of opportunities to produce. He could be in for a shootout in Week 10 against the Chiefs and will look for a bounceback effort.

Love completed 19 of 34 pass attempts for 190 yards, one touchdown and one interception against Kansas City on Sunday.

Love also ran for 23 yards on five carries. He seemed to struggle to identify pressure pre-snap and often made errant throws when the subsequent post-snap pressure caught him by surprise, but at times when he had blocking he made a handful of encouraging throws. The interception was nearly a completed pass to Davante Adams, but the throw was slightly off, and corner L'Jarius Sneed made a great play to snatch it from Adams. There was never any doubt that this is Aaron Rodgers' team when healthy, but Love all but confirmed Sunday that he needs more development before he might be able to cash in on his otherwise substantial athletic talent.

Jones completed 15 of 20 passes for 110 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Raiders. He added four rushes for 17 yards.

The Giants relied heavily on their ground game by logging 31 rushing attempts as opposed to only 20 pass attempts. That deflated Jones' numbers, as did the fact that he averaged only 5.5 yards per attempt -- his second-lowest mark of the season. More positively, Jones managed to largely play mistake-free football, though he did lose his third fumble of the season. Also notable is the disappearance of Jones' rushing upside, as he's logged 20 yards or fewer with his legs in four of his last five games. He and the Giants have their bye in Week 10.

Brissett completed 26 of 43 passes for 244 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in the Dolphins' 17-9 win over the Texans on Sunday. He also rushed once for seven yards and lost a fumble.

The veteran was called into action when Tua Tagovailoa was deemed a bit too risky a proposition to start the contest due to his finger fracture. Brissett performed reasonably well under the circumstances, although the pair of interceptions were a blemish. Brissett also encouragingly got Jaylen Waddle more involved downfield than in prior games, connecting with the talented rookie on eight occasions for 83 yards. The 28-year-old Brissett may be set for another start Thursday night against the Ravens if Tagovailoa is still considered too injured to helm the offense.

Prescott completed 19 of 39 passes for 232 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Broncos. He added two rushes for 16 yards.

Prescott turned in a disastrous performance for much of the game, as he entered halftime with only 75 passing yards on five completions. While his final stat line suggests that Prescott and the Cowboys picked up their performance in the second half, the vast majority of his production came once the team was down 30-0. Coming off a one-game absence caused by a calf injury, Prescott will look to get back to his prolific form for a Week 10 matchup against Atlanta.
