Cousins completed 17 of 28 passes for 187 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Vikings' 34-31 overtime loss to the Ravens on Sunday. He also scored a one-yard touchdown on his only rush attempt.

Cousins didn't take a single sack and stayed away from turnovers altogether, but he still turned in an underwhelming effort from a yardage perspective against what had been an inconsistent secondary. Nevertheless, he delivered for fantasy managers with his three total touchdowns, with the two through the air going to Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen from 50 and one yard out in the first and fourth quarters, respectively. Cousins has been under 200 passing yards in two straight games and will have an uphill battle to improve much on his yardage numbers against the stingy Chargers secondary in Week 10.

Lawrence (ankle) completed 15 of 26 pass attempts for 118 yards Sunday in Jacksonville's 9-6 win over Buffalo.

Lawrence suffered a low-ankle sprain during the game, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com, though the quarterback only left long enough for backup C.J. Beathard to throw two passes. Lawrence and the Jaguars offense were completely overmatched by the Bills defense, but the Jacksonville defense played the hero and willed the Jags to the narrow victory. Lawrence might get leadership points for the toughness he showed, but his fantasy outlook remains bleak. It will be worth monitoring whether Lawrence shows up on the injury report leading up to Jacksonville's Week 10 game against the Colts.

Burrow completed 28 of 40 passes for 282 yards and two interceptions while adding one yard on two rushing attempts in Sunday's 41-16 loss to the Browns.

Burrow led Cincinnati down to Cleveland's three-yard line on the opening drive but then threw a disastrous interception that Browns cornerback Denzel Ward took the other way for a touchdown. The Bengals' offense bounced back on the ensuing drive, marching downfield again and this time punching it in with an 11-yard Joe Mixon rushing touchdown to tie the game. It was all Cleveland after that, though, as Burrow failed to throw a touchdown pass after having tossed multiple scores in every previous game this season. Burrow will have to stew over this disappointing performance over Cincinnati's Week 10 bye before traveling to Vegas in Week 11.

Jones completed 12 of 18 pass attempts for 139 yards, a touchdown, an interception and a fumble lost in Sunday's 24-6 win over Carolina.

The 18 pass attempts marked the lowest total for Jones this season, as the Patriots' defense (one TD) and rushing attack (39 attempts for 151 yards and a TD) did the heavy lifting against the Panthers. The poised rookie is averaging 237.2 passing yards per game with a 10:7 TD:INT ratio through nine contests. The Patriots lost Rhamondre Stevenson (head) and Damien Harris (head) to injury Sunday, so Jones may be relied upon more heavily against a tough Browns defense should both backs miss next week's contest.

Tagovailoa (left finger/ribs) is viewed as day-to-day by coach Brian Flores as Thursday night's game against the Ravens approaches, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Flores adds that Tagovailoa wanted to play Sunday, but the QB was too limited by his finger injury to start, leaving him to back up Jacoby Brissett in the Dolphins' 17-9 win over the Texans. In any case, while Tagovailoa hasn't been ruled out for Thursday's contest, he may be hard-pressed to bounce back in time for it, given the quick turnaround involved.

Jackson completed 27 of 41 passes for 266 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions in the Ravens' 34-31 overtime victory against the Vikings on Sunday. He also rushed 21 times for 120 yards.

Jackson's final tally underscores how integral he was to a wild victory that saw the Ravens come back from a 24-10 second-half deficit to notch an overtime victory. His work on the ground included season highs in rush attempts and yardage, while his three scoring tosses qualified as his second-highest tally in that category on the campaign. The star signal-caller was effective in Baltimore's game-winning drive in overtime as well, kicking off the march with a 20-yard connection to Marquise Brown and notching another pair of completions to his speedy receiver. Jackson will have a quick opportunity to follow up Sunday's stellar effort, as the Ravens visit the Dolphins on Thursday night to kick off Week 10.

Mayfield completed 14 of 21 passes for 218 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-16 win over the Bengals.

After a pick-six and a rushing touchdown put the Browns up 14-7, Mayfield made his imprint on the action with a 60-yard touchdown pass to Donovan Peoples-Jones, who will likely be his top downfield target moving forward with Cleveland parting ways with Odell Beckham. The defense and running game continued to lead the way, but Mayfield managed to pad his stats with an 18-yard touchdown pass to David Njoku after the Browns had already put the game out of reach. Mayfield has only eclipsed 250 passing yards twice this season in the run-first Browns offense, and he'll continue to work as a game manager against the Patriots in Week 10.

Siemian completed 25 of 41 pass attempts for 249 yards with two touchdowns during Sunday's 27-25 loss to Atlanta.

Getting his first start of the season with Jameis Winston (knee) injured, Siemian had a quiet start to the game but nearly pulled the Saints out of an 18-point hole in a matter of minutes during the fourth quarter. In fact, the soon-to-be 30-year-old led a go-ahead touchdown drive with just over a minute left in regulation only for the Falcons to come back the other way with a game-winning field goal. While it's not certain that he will remain the starter over Taysom Hill going forward, Siemian attempted more passes than Winston did in any single game this year, and his matchups going forward will be more favorable than Atlanta, which entered the week ranked seventh in fewest yards allowed per pass attempt.

Allen completed 31 of 47 pass attempts for 264 yards and two interceptions while running for 50 yards on five carries against Jacksonville on Sunday.

It was a dysfunctional and utterly bizarre game in many ways, and Allen's fantasy output was probably the biggest shock among them as the Bills unthinkably lost 9-6 to the Jaguars. Perhaps playing without two starting offensive linemen helped bring about the struggles, and pressure was indeed a problem as the Jaguars sacked Allen four times while hitting him eight times. While a game this fluky isn't a fair representation of Allen in general, it's a brutal missed opportunity for his fantasy investors in a matchup where everything appeared favorable on paper. As much as it might be difficult for Allen's rattled fantasy managers to feel reassured after a game like this, Allen should bounce back against the Jets in Week 10.

Taylor (hamstring) completed 24 of 43 passes for 240 yards with no touchdowns and three interceptions in the Texans' 17-9 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also rushed three times for 23 yards.

The veteran signal-caller didn't exactly get a soft landing in his return to action despite facing a Dolphins squad that was 1-7 going in. Taylor's efficiency and passing yardage were acceptable from a fantasy perspective, and he gave the offense a bit more stability than rookie Davis Mills had, but the 32-year-old still short-circuited a trio of Texans possessions with one interception deep in Dolphins territory and another pair on Houston's side of the field. With some rust perhaps knocked off after a six-game absence, Taylor now turns his focus to improving his performance in a Week 11 battle against the Titans on Sunday, Nov. 21 following a Week 10 bye.
