  • Mitch Trubisky QB | TEN

    Bears' Mitchell Trubisky: Three touchdowns Sunday

    Trubisky completed 16 of 23 passes for 173 yards and three touchdowns in Chicago's 20-13 victory over the Lions on Sunday.

    Trubisky had another slow start, as he was held to fewer than 35 yards until a couple minutes remained in the first half before turning things around. Even though his yardage total was low, he tied a season-high 7.5 yards per attempt while matching a season-best three touchdown passes. This was just the third time all season he's thrown a TD in a game, and he's only surpassed 231 yards on two occasions. As a result, he'll remain a low-floor weekly fantasy option.

  • Jeff Driskel QB | WAS

    Lions' Jeff Driskel: Quiet besides late TD

    Driskel completed 27 of 46 passes for 269 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 20-13 loss to Chicago. He also rushed five times for a team-high 37 yards.

    Filling in for Matt Stafford (back), Driskel didn't get much help against Chicago's vaunted defense. A 47-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Golladay in the fourth quarter helped make Driskel's line look respectable, but the Lions didn't move the ball well besides that play. If Stafford isn't ready to return in Week 11, Driskel would draw the start against Dallas.

  • Jameis Winston QB | NYG

    Buccaneers' Jameis Winston: Overcomes errors in Week 10 win

    Winston completed 30 of 48 passes for 358 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions in the Buccaneers' 30-27 win over the Cardinals on Sunday. He also rushed three times for 40 yards and committed a fumble, but it was recovered by the offense.

    Winston turned in what has become a signature performance for him, one featuring multiple sacks, multiple interceptions and plenty of passing yards. For a change, the Buccaneers were on the right side of the scoreboard by the final gun, as their beleaguered defense was able to come up with a stop on the Cardinals' last-gasp drive. Winston did suffer yet another interception off a deflection, but he also made a bad decision on his first one of the day. The pair of picks pushed Winston's season tally in that category to 14, and Sunday marked his fourth game this year with multiple interceptions. Winston also continued to demonstrate some atypical mobility, breaking free for his second run of at least 20 yards this season and finishing with his second-highest rushing yardage total of the campaign. The embattled 2015 first overall pick will look to clean up the mistakes when he faces an aggressive Saints defense Week 11.

  • Kyler Murray QB | MIN

    Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Eclipses 300-yard mark in loss

    Murray completed 27 of 44 passes for 324 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in the Cardinals' 30-27 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also rushed three times for 38 yards.

    Murray put together the fourth 300-yard effort of his nascent career in the close loss, and he had the Cardinals in the game until the very last play, a last-gasp heave in which Arizona tried to argue for pass interference. Murray had his connection with Christian Kirk in top form, as he hit the second-year wideout for touchdown passes of 33, 69 and 15 yards during the contest. The 2019 first overall pick has multiple touchdown passes in back-to-back games after a five-game stretch where he failed to notch any scoring throws in four contests. Murray will look to continue his development in the fantasy-friendly air raid offense in a Week 11 rematch versus the 49ers.

  • Ryan Tannehill QB | TEN

    Titans' Ryan Tannehill: Shocks Chiefs with comeback

    Tannehill completed 13 of 19 passes for 181 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 35-32 win over the Chiefs. He added 37 yards on three carries and a two-point conversion and lost a fumble during the contest.

    After a botched field-goal attempt gave the Titans a shot to win the game in the final minute, Tannehill calmly scrambled for a gain of 18 yards, hit Anthony Firsker for a 20-yard completion, and then found Adam Humphries across the middle for the 23-yard touchdown before running in the two-point conversion. To be sure, Derrick Henry did much of the heavy lifting during Sunday's upset, but Tannehill has been the perfect complement to Tennessee's formula of pounding the ball and playing solid defense and he's now 3-1 as a starter. After the team's Week 11 bye, Tannehill will face off against division rival Jacksonville, which ranks 10th-best in the league with an opponent quarterback rating of 88.9.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Perfect in beatdown of Bengals

    Jackson completed 15 of 17 passes for 223 yards and three touchdowns and added 65 yards and a touchdown on seven carries during Sunday's 49-13 win over Cincinnati.

    The Ravens were already up 28-10 midway through the third quarter when Jackson, off of a zone read, twisted and turned up field for a 47-yard touchdown run. He capped off the very next drive with a 20-yard loft to rookie Marquise Brown for his third touchdown throw of the game and the Ravens pulled the dynamic sophomore for the remainder of the blowout. Jackson set a career high for completion percentage in a game in which he threw multiple passes, 88.2 percent, and boasted a perfect 158.3 quarterback rating for the second time this season. Though doubters continue to wait for Jackson to falter, he is humming in Greg Roman's perfectly-tailored offensive scheme. Next up is a Houston defense that has had trouble defending the pass this season.

  • Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Stellar in return

    Mahomes completed 36 of 50 attempts for 446 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 35-32 loss to Tennessee.

    Mahomes cut through a stout Titans defense during Sunday's back-and-forth affair, his first since injuring his knee in Week 7 against Denver. The talented passer extended Kansas City's lead to two scores early in the fourth quarter, going airborne within the pocket while delivering a strike to rookie Mecole Hardman for a 63-yard touchdown. Even after the Titans pulled off the improbable comeback, Mahomes responded with a 23-yard completion to Demarcus Robinson to help set up what would have been a game-tying field goal attempt that was ultimately blocked. Any rust Mahomes may have had coming into Sunday appears to be sufficiently shaken off and he'll have eight days to prepare for a reeling division rival, the Chargers, on Monday night.

  • Jeff Driskel QB | WAS

    Lions' Jeff Driskel: Officially starting Week 10

    Driskel will start Sunday's Week 10 matchup against the Bears with Matthew Stafford (back) inactive for the contest.

    This merely confirms what was already reported earlier this morning once Stafford was announced as out with multiple back fractures. Driskel brings nine games of NFL experience from his 2018 campaign with the Bengals, a stint during which he posted 1,003 passing yards and a 6:2 TD:INT while also rushing for 130 yards and a pair of scores. While Driskel showed some upside last season and will have a formidable receiver duo in Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones to work with, a last-minute call to action against the Bears at Soldier Field figures to be a tough assignment.

  • Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Good to go Sunday

    As expected, Mahomes (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Chiefs proceeded with extreme caution with their star QB and had "four different specialists from across the country examine" images of Mahomes' knee. It was determined that the signal-caller was ready to play and that enough time had elapsed to minimize his chances of a setback. Mahomes' return to the lineup should provide a nice boost going forward for the fantasy prospects of Kansas City's top receiving weapons -- Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Ready to go Sunday

    Jackson (illness) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

    The 22-year-old was considered questionable, but his status never truly appeared in doubt after he put in a full practice Friday. Jackson has found significant success on the ground over the last three weeks with 49 attempts for 329 yards and four touchdowns, while Cincinnati features the worst rush defense in the NFL and allows 177.6 yards per game and 5.1 yards per carry.
