  • Derek Carr QB | NO

    Raiders' Derek Carr: Can't find end zone in loss

    Carr completed 24 of 37 passing attempts for 243 yards in Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Chargers.

    The Raiders were fortunate to manage even six points as Carr had a potential pick-six bounce off a defender's hands near the Chargers end zone before Oakland's fourth-quarter field-goal. Once again, the Raiders were out of sync on offense, and the 27-year-old managed just 78 yards passing in the first half. He has now failed to throw for a touchdown in three of his last four games, and things don't get any easier the next two weeks with road matchups against the stingy Arizona and Baltimore defenses on tap.

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Packers' Aaron Rodgers: Throws two touchdown passes

    Rodgers completed 19 of 28 pass attempts for 199 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 31-12 win over the Dolphins.

    Rodgers completed 68 percent of his passes, but he finished averaging 7.1 yards per attempt as he struggled to generate many big plays. He wasn't forced to carry the load thanks to a tremendous day from the running game, but two touchdown passes to Davante Adams salvaged his performance from a fantasy perspective. Though Rodgers has a sterling 17:1 TD:INT on the season, he's topped two touchdown passes just twice and hasn't eclipsed 300 yards since Week 6. He'll face a tough road matchup with the Seahawks on Thursday.

  • Russell Wilson QB | NYG

    Seahawks' Russell Wilson: Nearly takes down Rams

    Wilson completed 17 of 26 passes for 176 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Rams. He also rushed nine times for 92 yards.

    Wilson's efficient offense kept the Seahawks in the game, and a late touchdown pass to Mike Davis put them within one score with two minutes to go. Seattle got the ball back with 1:24 left in the contest, but Wilson completed just one of five passes for 29 yards on the final drive and fell short once again. Wilson and the Seahawks have a short week ahead of a home game versus the Packers on Thursday, which is shaping up to be a must-win situation for both sides.

  • Matt Barkley QB | JAC

    Bills' Matt Barkley: Leads 41-point outburst in Week 10

    Barkley completed 15 of 25 passes for 232 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-10 win over the Jets.

    Barkley proved to be an immediate upgrade over Nathan Peterman, hitting Robert Foster for a 47-yard gain on the game's first play. He later found eligible left tackle Dion Dawkins for a seven-yard touchdown in the second quarter and hit Zay Jones for an eight-yard score in the third. In addition to frustrating owners who streamed the Jets defense this week, Barkley likely earned himself a shot at retaining Buffalo's starting quarterback job coming out of the Week 11 bye, though Josh Allen (elbow) is the clear long-term starter and appears close to being game ready.

  • Marcus Mariota QB | WAS

    Titans' Marcus Mariota: Tosses two early scores in win

    Mariota completed 16 of 24 passes for 228 yards and two touchdowns while rushing twice for 21 yards and adding a 21-yard reception in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Patriots.

    Mariota finished each of Tennessee's first two drives with a passing touchdown -- first finding Jonnu Smith from four yards out and then Corey Davis from 23. The Titans never relinquished that lead, relying mostly on the run to chew clock in the second half. Mariota will lead his team into a pivotal Week 11 road game against the division rival Colts after consecutive efficient, two-touchdown outings in wins.

  • Mitch Trubisky QB | TEN

    Bears' Mitchell Trubisky: Another 300-yard performance in win

    Trubisky completed 23 of 30 passes for 355 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Bears' 34-22 win over the Lions on Sunday. He also rushed three times for 18 yards and another score and completed a two-point conversion pass.

    Trubisky had a direct hand in four Chicago touchdowns, connecting with Allen Robinson for a pair of scores and rookie Anthony Miller for a third. He also scampered in from four yards out in the second quarter for his third rushing score this season. Trubisky's yardage total was also a welcome spike, as it matched his numbers through the air from the prior two games combined. Despite talk about the 24-year-old still having limitations as a passer, he now owns a sparkling 19:7 TD:INT and has four 300-yard games on his 2018 ledger thus far. He'll look to continue his strong play against the Vikings in Week 11.

  • Lions' Matthew Stafford: Pair of touchdowns in losing effort

    Stafford completed 25 of 42 passes for 274 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Lions' 34-22 loss to the Bears on Sunday. He also rushed twice for nine yards and fumbled once but got the recovery.

    Stafford put up over 40 pass attempts for the second time in the last three games with the Lions facing a large deficit, which also led to his fifth game of over 270 passing yards this season. He also has thrown multiple touchdowns in six of his last seven contests, with Kenny Golladay and Kerryon Johnson on the receiving end of his passing scores Sunday. The fact he lost Marvin Jones to a knee injury in the second half certainly didn't help Stafford's cause, and he ultimately ran out of time to mount a comeback. Stafford will look to generate a better effort versus the Panthers in a Week 11 matchup.

  • Jeff Driskel QB | WAS

    Bengals' Jeff Driskel: Scores touchdown in garbage time

    Driskel replaced Andy Dalton in the fourth quarter of Sunday's blowout loss to the Saints and ran for a 27-yard touchdown.

    Driskel ended up with two carries for 35 yards, and also completed two passes on three attempts for 45 yards. There's no quarterback controversy in Cincinnati, but it at least appears Driskel meets the minimum standards to be a competent backup quarterback.

  • Browns' Baker Mayfield: Three touchdowns, three incompletions in win

    Mayfield completed 17 of 20 passes for 216 yards and three touchdowns while rushing six times for 20 yards in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Falcons.

    Mayfield connected on all 12 of his first-half passing attempts. Those included a terrific throw despite getting flushed out of the pocket for a 28-yard touchdown to Rashard Higgins and a 13-yard score to Nick Chubb. Mayfield added an 11-yard touchdown pass to Duke Johnson in the third quarter and turned in a mistake-free effort to pull out the 12-point win. He'll be on bye in Week 11.

  • Andy Dalton QB | PHI

    Bengals' Andy Dalton: Tosses two picks in loss

    Dalton completed 12 of 20 passes for 153 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Sunday's 51-14 loss to the Saints. He added an eight-yard run during the contest.

    With A.J. Green (foot) out of the lineup, Cincinnati turned to the likes of 2017 first-round pick John Ross. Things went smoothly early on, as he and Dalton connecting for two-yard score in the closing moments of the first quarter to tie up the game. It was downhill from there, as sans his longtime favorite targets like Green and Tyler Eifert (ankle), Dalton and the Bengals' offense stalled. Don't read too much into the interceptions, as one was tipped at the line and the other was a toss to the end zone in the final moments before halftime. Still, if Green is held out into December like reports suggest, Dalton doesn't seem to have the weapons needed to keep the Bengals going, particularly next Sunday against a Ravens defense ranked in the top five in the league in opposing quarterback rating allowed (83.9).
