  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Over 300 combined yards in loss

    Jackson completed 24 of 34 pass attempts for 249 yards, two touchdowns and an interception while adding 55 rushing yards on 11 carries in Sunday's 23-17 loss to New England.

    Jackson fell short in the battle of former Heisman and NFL MVP award winners, turning the ball over on downs on Baltimore's final drive. The 249 passing yards were the second-highest total for the 23-year-old this season, and he was able to accomplish the feat in wet and windy conditions at Foxborough. Jackson now has 16 passing touchdowns and three rushing scores through nine games, putting him on pace to finish well below the 36 and seven, respectively, he posted in a dominant MVP campaign last year. The Louisville product criticized his coaching staff for predictable play-calling after throwing for just 170 yards and no touchdowns against the Colts last week, so perhaps this immediate improvement in the passing game can be attributed to an adjustment made by offensive coordinator Greg Roman. Those with shares in Jackson are hoping this success will carry through the rest of the season, starting with a tough matchup against the Titans on Sunday.

  • Joe Burrow QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Burrow: Limited in Pittsburgh

    Burrow completed 21 of 40 passes for 213 yards and a touchdown in Week 10 against the Steelers.

    Burrow moved the Bengals' offense down the field effectively on their first drive of the second quarter, connecting with three different receivers before tossing a two-yard touchdown to Tee Higgins. However, those were the team's final points until the middle of the fourth quarter -- and that drive that was largely powered by the run. The end result was one of Burrow's worst games as a pro, as he logged his lowest yardage total since Week 5. Burrow will work to bounce back against Washington in Week 12, though their strong pass rush has often held opposing offenses in check.

  • Derek Carr QB | NO

    Raiders' Derek Carr: Attempts reduced in blowout win

    Carr completed 16 of 25 attempts for 154 passing yards, throwing no touchdowns and no interceptions during Sunday's 37-12 win against the Broncos. He also logged 10 rushing yards on four carries.

    Las Vegas' ground attack was working in full effect during a dominant divisional win, generating 5.0 yards per carry and punching in four scores. With a multi-possession lead in place throughout the fourth quarter, Carr's passing volume was reduced for a third consecutive outing. The three-time Pro Bowler attempted 25 or fewer passes Weeks 8, 9 and 10, with each outing resulting in a Las Vegas win (and two coming by double digits). Though fantasy production has been down with his defense holding opponents to 14.7 points per game in November, Carr's Raiders stand at 6-3, while he personally boasts a 16:2 TD:INT heading into a Week 11 home game against the Chiefs.

  • Drew Lock QB | SEA

    Broncos' Drew Lock: Turnover bug continues to bite

    Lock completed 23 of 47 pass attempts for 257 yards, throwing one touchdown and committing four interceptions during Sunday's 37-12 loss to the Raiders. He also ran for seven yards on two attempts, fumbling once but recovering the loose ball himself.

    Lock threw a pair of picks to safety Jeff Heath in the first half, then gifted one each to Carl Nassib and Nick Kwiatkoski during the fourth quarter. The sophomore signal-caller avoided committing an INT over his first two starts of the season -- including Week 2 against Pittsburgh when he exited after five attempts due to a right shoulder injury -- but he's now thrown to an abysmal 6:10 TD:INT since making his Week 6 return. He hasn't compensated for the turnovers with explosive downfield throws, eclipsing 255 passing yards in just one game this season while logging 5.7 adjusted yards per attempt. A Week 11 matchup against the Dolphins is less than favorable after Miami held the usually explosive Justin Herbert to 187 passing yards Sunday.

  • Nick Mullens QB | JAC

    49ers' Nick Mullens: Commits two turnovers vs. Saints

    Mullens completed 24 of 38 pass attempts for 247 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Saints.

    Mullens looked quite comfortable on the opening drive, completing 6-of-7 passes and capping it off with a short touchdown strike to Brandon Aiyuk. He struggled from that point on, however, and finished tied for his season low of 6.5 yards per attempt. Moreover, Mullen threw interceptions on his team's first and last possessions of the second half, ruining any chance of a comeback with Drew Brees (ribs) on the sidelines. He has now lost his last three starts while compiling an unsightly 3:5 TD:INT, but he should remain the starter after the team's upcoming bye week due to an injury to Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) and C.J. Beathard's ineptitude.

  • Jared Goff QB | DET

    Rams' Jared Goff: Tops 300 yards in Sunday's win

    Goff completed 27 of 37 passes for 302 yards in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Seahawks. He also gained four rushing yards on five carries.

    While he predictably was able to move the ball very effectively through the air against a vulnerable Seattle secondary, Goff was denied any touchdowns as the Rams scored three TDs on the ground from inside the 10-yard line. It's the first time since Week 1 that Goff has failed to throw a touchdown pass, and he faces a tough test in Week 11 on the road against the Buccaneers.

  • Jameis Winston QB | NYG

    Saints' Jameis Winston: Steps in for injured Brees

    Winston completed 6 of 10 pass attempts for 63 yards during Sunday's 27-13 win over the 49ers.

    Winston entered the game at the start of the second half after Drew Brees (ribs) picked up an injury earlier in the contest. He averaged a lackluster 6.3 yards per attempt and took a pair of sacks as he helped his team cruise to victory against an undermanned San Francisco outfit. The extent of Brees' injury is not yet known, but Winston would be in line to start next Sunday's matchup against the Falcons if his teammate is sidelined and would be an interesting fantasy option against one of the league's worst pass defenses.

  • Kyler Murray QB | MIN

    Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Last-minute heroics against Bills

    Murray completed 22 of 32 passes for 245 yards and one touchdown with one interception while carrying the ball 11 times for 61 yards and two more TDs in Sunday's 32-30 win over the Bills.

    The one touchdown pass immediately went down as one of the greatest plays in Cardinals history -- on the final play of the game, Murray avoided pressure and heaved a 43-yard hail mary into the end zone that DeAndre Hopkins came down with despite triple coverage. The second-year QB already has 10 rushing touchdowns through nine games in addition to his impressive numbers through the air, and Murray figures to pad his totals further in Week 11 against a porous Seahawks defense.

  • Josh Allen QB | BUF

    Bills' Josh Allen: Accounts for three TDs in loss

    Allen completed 32 of 49 passes for 284 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions in Sunday's 32-30 loss to the Cardinals. He also rushed for 38 yards on seven carries and caught a 12-yard TD pass from Isaiah McKenzie.

    It was another big performance for the third-year QB, as Allen led the Bills in rushing in addition to being involved in all three of the team's TDs on the afternoon. He's thrown multiple touchdown passes in eight of 10 games this season, leading to a 21:7 TD:INT, and he's also produced six other scores (five rushing, one receiving) as Buffalo heads into its bye week.

  • Russell Wilson QB | NYG

    Seahawks' Russell Wilson: Sloppy performance in loss to Rams

    Wilson completed 22 of 37 passes for 248 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Rams. He also lost a fumble and added eight carries for 60 yards.

    The veteran quarterback was never comfortable behind his offensive line, as he was quick to flee the pocket or concede the sack, taking six total sacks for a loss of 28 yards. Wilson appeared increasingly uncomfortable in the fourth quarter when the Seahawks were trying to erase a two-possession deficit, and perhaps the most glaring lapse was a delay of game penalty on third down with 7:59 remaining in regulation. At one point in the fourth quarter, second-year receiver DK Metcalf beat Jalen Ramsey deep with a clear path to the end zone, but Wilson didn't even look his way, a move that manifested visible frustration from Metcalf. The Seahawks will fall to third place in the division as a result, and they'll need to calibrate quickly with a Thursday night game against Arizona on deck.
