Trubisky completed 10 of 21 passes for 125 yards in the Bears' 22-14 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Trubisky was especially brutal in the first half, passing for 24 yards and leading the Bears to just a single first down. Once the Eagles took a commanding lead, he was slightly more productive, but both touchdown drives the offense produced were capped off by David Montgomery rushing scores, which kept him from recording a touchdown pass. This was the third time in four games that Trubisky failed to account for a touchdown, and his downside makes him a difficult player to trust in fantasy lineups.

Coach Frank Reich indicated after Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Steelers that Brissett is believed to be dealing with an MCL issue, Kevin Bowen of 1070 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Reich added that the QB's injury is thought to be "a sprain, but we'll see to what degree." In any case, it looks like Brissett could miss some time. If so, the Colts will turn to veteran signal-caller Brian Hoyer next Sunday against the Dolphins.

Darnold completed 27 of 39 passes for 260 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 26-18 loss to the Dolphins. He added one yard on two rushing attempts.

Darnold came out of the gate hot and then fizzled out for a second straight week. He capped the opening drive with a 12-yard touchdown pass to Jamison Crowder and appeared to throw a two-yard touchdown to tight end Ryan Griffin late in the first half, but the play was controversially taken off the board on replay, and Darnold was picked off on the ensuing play. Darnold has been part of the problem in New York's 1-7 start, and his carelessness in the red zone has been particularly worrisome. However, you can't pin all of this team's struggles on the second-year quarterback, considering the offensive line is constantly allowing free rushers into the backfield. The bottom line from a fantasy perspective is that Darnold has a dreadful 3:8 touchdown to interception ratio over his last three games.

Allen completed 14 of his 20 pass attempts, accounting for 160 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 24-9 win against the Redskins. He also carried the ball eight times for 12 yards and a touchdown while fumbling twice, though neither was recovered by Washington.

Sunday's performance marks the third time this year, and the seventh time since the start of last year, that Allen has tallied both a passing and rushing score in the same game. Allen's long-term success ultimately will be predicated on his ability to become more accurate as a thrower, making his Week 9 showing of zero turnovers and a 70 percent completion rate extremely encouraging. Upcoming in Week 10, Allen and the Buffalo passing attack will be facing off against a Browns defense that entered the weekend with just eight takeaways, the eighth-lowest total in the NFL.

Brissett was forced out of Sunday's game against the Steelers in the second quarter due to a knee injury, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

With Brissett out of the game, Brian Hoyer has stepped in at QB for the Colts. Prior to his exit from the contest, Brissett had completed four of five pass attempts for 59 yards and carried twice for four yards.

Minshew completed 27 of 47 passes for 309 yards and two interceptions in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Texans in London. He also rushed four times for 34 yards and lost two fumbles.

Don't let the garbage time yardage fool you -- this was an ugly performance for Minshew, as he had more turnovers (four) than his team scored points (three). Per Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports, Nick Foles is set to be taken off injured reserve and return from his fractured clavicle after Jacksonville's Week 10 bye, at which point coach Doug Marrone will have to decide whether to stick with the rookie under center or turn the offense back over to the high-priced free-agent pickup. Minshew certainly did himself no favors as the Jaguars mull over the difficult decision of which quarterback to deploy moving forward. This was Minshew's first multi-interception performance, but fumbles have become a growing concern -- he's lost seven in the last eight games.

Watson completed 22 of 28 passes for 201 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Jaguars. He added 37 rushing yards on seven carries in the victory at Wembley Stadium.

Both of Watson's touchdowns were of the 1-yard variety -- he found Daniel Fells in the second quarter and DeAndre Hopkins in the fourth. The quarterback wasn't asked to do too much with his team leading throughout thanks to a dominant performance from the defense, which was likely for the best considering Watson was nursing an eye injury suffered in the latter stages of last week's win over Oakland. With a bye week coming up next, Watson should be all systems go by the time he takes the field again Week 11 in Baltimore.

The Chiefs were told by outside doctors that Mahomes (kneecap) would have a 40 percent chance of reinjuring himself if he resumed playing within 21 days of his injury, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.

Sunday marks the 17th day since Mahomes suffered the injury, which likely factored into the Chiefs' decision to make him inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Matt Moore will pick up another start in Mahomes' stead, but the star quarterback could be ready to go Week 10 versus the Titans. Glazer notes that the chances of Mahomes re-dislocating the kneecap diminish to 10-to-15 percent after 21 days.

Mahomes (kneecap) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.

With Mahomes inactive Sunday, Matt Moore will draw another start at QB for the Chiefs, while Chad Henne (ankle) is slated to serve as his backup. On the plus side, Mahomes has progressed to the point where it looks like he has a realistic chance to return to action in Week 10 against the Titans.

Mahomes (kneecap), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, isn't expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Though Mahomes is progressing much faster than anticipated from his dislocated right kneecap, returning from the injury was always going to be a tough ask. With Mahomes in line to be included among the Chiefs' seven inactives Sunday, Matt Moore will garner another start. Downgrade Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill and the rest of the Chiefs' skill players accordingly.
