Kyle Allen QB | BUF
Panthers' Kyle Allen: Sets career high in passing yards
Allen completed 28 of 43 pass attempts for 307 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Packers. He also rushed three times for 12 yards.
Although Allen averaged a pedestrian 7.1 yards per attempt, he set a new career high in passing yardage against a formidable Packers pass defense. He completed a two-yard touchdown pass to Curtis Samuel in the first quarter and had several other opportunities in the red zone, including some failed attempts in the final seconds that could've tied the game. Allen continues to grow into his role as a starter and will enjoy an excellent matchup next Sunday at home against the Falcons.

Brian Hoyer QB | LV
Colts' Brian Hoyer: Struggles mightily in loss
Hoyer completed 18 of 39 passes for 204 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in the team's Week 10 loss to Miami.
Hoyer took a step back in his first start of the season, turning the ball over three times in a winnable matchup. Particularly backbreaking was his third interception, which occurred with just under six minutes remaining in the game and the Colts trailing 13-12. Ultimately, he led a frantic comeback that came up just short when the Colts turned the ball over on downs at the Dolphins' eight yard line with only 45 seconds remaining. Jacoby Brissett (knee) was able to practice on a limited basis leading up to the team's Week 10 contest, meaning he's likely to retake the starting job in Week 11 against the Jaguars.

Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT
Packers' Aaron Rodgers: Held in check vs. Panthers
Rodgers completed 17 of 29 pass attempts for 233 yards and carried once for seven yards during Sunday's 24-16 win over the Panthers.
Rodgers struggled in the snowy conditions, completing just 59 percent of his pass attempts as he was held under 250 passing yards for the sixth time this season. He took a back seat to the running game in the red zone, handing off to Aaron Jones for three short touchdowns to account for the majority of the scoring on the day. Rodgers, who has totaled just 394 passing yards with one touchdown over the last two weeks, will rest during the upcoming bye before taking on the 49ers on the road in Week 12.

Josh Allen QB | BUF
Bills' Josh Allen: Scores two rushing TDs
Allen completed 22 of 41 pass attempts for 266 yards while rushing six times for 28 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Browns.
Allen's struggles with his accuracy continued, as he completed just 54 percent of his attempts on the day. He still managed to set a new career high in passing yardage thanks to some big plays while scoring rushing touchdowns in the second and fourth quarters to keep his team in the game. Allen has now accounted for two total touchdowns in each of the last five games, and he's turned the ball over just twice in that span. He'll look to continue his recent success next Sunday against the Dolphins.

Sam Darnold QB | SEA
Jets' Sam Darnold: Turnover-free in win
Darnold completed 19 of 30 passes for 230 yards and a touchdown while adding 25 yards and another score on three rushing attempts in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Giants.
Darnold opened the scoring with a two-yard rushing touchdown, keeping the ball on an option play as the Jets unveiled a previously unused wrinkle to their offense. The second-year quarterback isn't much of a factor on the ground, but he could boost his fantasy value by calling his own number more often near the goal line, as this was only Darnold's second career rushing score. He added a 23-yard touchdown pass to Jamison Crowder later in the first quarter. Most importantly, Darnold finished without a turnover. With this much-needed clean performance under his belt following an eight-interception three-game stretch, Darnold's confidence should be climbing ahead of a Week 11 clash with Washington.

Baker Mayfield QB | TB
Browns' Baker Mayfield: Leads winning TD drive
Mayfield completed 26 of 38 pass attempts for 238 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 19-16 win over the Bills.
Mayfield completed 68 percent of his passes, though his average of 6.3 yards per attempt reveals a lack of big plays through the air. He completed a touchdown pass to Jarvis Landry in the first quarter and added his second on a seven-yard connection to Rashard Higgins to decide the game in the final minutes. Mayfield benefited from a dynamic effort from backfield duo Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt, so better times could be ahead for the Cleveland offense. He'll look to build on this effort Thursday against the Steelers.

Daniel Jones QB | IND
Giants' Daniel Jones: Throws four TDs in losing cause
Jones completed 26 of 40 passes for 308 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Jets. He also threw a two-point conversion, rushed three times for 20 yards and lost one of three fumbles.
Jones had to do all the heavy lifting for Big Blue's offense in this one, as Saquon Barkley and Wayne Gallman combined for only three rushing yards on 14 carries. The rookie quarterback was up to the task for the most part, tossing a pair of second-quarter touchdowns to Darius Slayton and two third-quarter scores to Golden Tate. He hit Bennie Fowler for a two-point conversion after the fourth touchdown, giving his team a 27-21 lead at the time. Unfortunately for Jones, his fumbling issues also continued, as he has now put the ball on the ground 10 times in the past four games. The Giants will surely try to address those issues during their Week 11 bye.
-
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.
