Russell Wilson QB | NYG
Seahawks' Russell Wilson: Mediocre in loss
Wilson completed 14 of 32 passes for 240 yards, with a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 39-32 loss to the Cardinals. He added six carries for 52 yards.
Wilson didn't get much help from his teammates besides Doug Baldwin, who caught seven passes for 134 yards and a touchdown. The Seattle offense otherwise struggled, partially because Wilson was inaccurate. He did pad his rushing stats in garbage time, but he still doesn't have a rushing touchdown this season and has just 10 passing touchdowns in nine game. Drafted by most to be an every-week starter, Wilson is now a borderline option in many formats, and he probably won't have much volume in a Week 11 home game against the 49ers.

Matthew Stafford QB | LAR
Lions' Matthew Stafford: Tosses two touchdowns against Green Bay
Stafford competed 24 of 38 passes for 242 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's win over Green Bay. He also recorded a fumble during the contest.
Stafford delivered a pair of touchdowns on quick slants in the end zone by Brandon Pettigrew and Lance Moore. The Lions' offense still fails to show the the ability to push the ball down field, the team's lone play of over 20 yards on Sunday coming on a 43-yard catch and run by Golden Tate late in the 4th quarter, but Sunday can be seen as a step in the right direction as Stafford was kept clean after being sacked 13 times in the team's previous two contests. Stafford is likely not worth a pickup unless a team's regular quarterback is on a bye, as turnovers continue to be an issue as he has gone just two games this season without at least one. Stafford also faces a ton of pressure to produce without a bonafide running attack to lean on.

Derek Carr QB | NO
Raiders' Derek Carr: Throws for 302 yards and two touchdowns at Oakland
Carr completed 29-of-43 passes for 302 yards, with two touchdowns and pair of interceptions, in Sunday's 30-14 loss to Minnesota. He also ran two times for 12 yards.
Carr had solid statistical game, but couldn't come up with a big play in a crucial moment, throwing an end zone interception late in the game with the Vikings trailing by nine points. He had a shot for a garbage touchdown in the final minute, but was unable to covert from the red zone. Despite the loss, it's been a productive season for the second-year signal caller, and he'll look to get back on track next week in a favorable matchup at Detroit.

Ryan Tannehill QB | TEN
Dolphins' Ryan Tannehill: Throws two TDs in win
Tannehill completed 21 of 36 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Eagles. He was also sacked four times for a loss of 27 yards, including once in the end zone that resulted in a safety.
Tannehill connected with six different players, throwing his touchdowns to running back Lamar Miller and wideout Jarvis Landry. His one to Landry was incredibly lucky, as it was tipped at the line near the end zone and somehow landed in Landry's hands despite being in the air for quite some time. Tannehill snapped a two-game streak with no touchdowns, as he threw for at least two for the sixth time this season. Up next is a Week 11 home game against the Cowboys.

Kirk Cousins QB | LV
Redskins' Kirk Cousins: Earns perfect QB rating in rout of Saints
Cousins completed 20 of 25 passes for 324 yards and four touchdowns Sunday against the Saints, earning a perfect 158.3 quarterback rating.
Facing off against one of the league's worst pass defenses, Cousins absolutely shredded the Saints, connecting with nine different players and throwing touchdown passes to tight end Jordan Reed (two), running back Matt Jones and wide receiver Jamison Crowder. It was just his second game all season with more than one touchdown pass, though he's been particularly good of late, averaging 286 yards per game over the last three and scoring nine touchdowns over that span (including one rushing score). However, things should get much tougher in Week 11, as the Redskins travel to Carolina to take on a Panthers defense that is allowing only 5.5 YPA this season, second-best in the league.
-
Teddy Bridgewater QB | DET
Vikings' Teddy Bridgewater: Just one touchdown pass in win
Bridgewater (concussion) completed 14-of-22 passes for 140 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-14 win at Oakland. He also had two carries for 23 yards.
Bridgewater was questionable heading into Sunday's game, but was able to suit up, playing an efficient game in the victory. He should have had two touchdowns, but Kyle Rudolph dropped a wide-open score in the end zone in the first half. While Bridgewater has led the Vikings to a 7-2 record, the team's success has not translated on his stat sheet, with multiple touchdown passes in just one of nine games this season. Next week, Bridgewater might have to air it out a bit more against Green Bay, although the Packers have really struggled offensively this year.

Marcus Mariota QB | WAS
Titans' Marcus Mariota: Fails to throw touchdown against Panthers
Mariota struggled against Carolina on Sunday, completing just 16 of his 24 passes for 185 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception. He also scrambled for 24 yards on five carries.
Mariota has just nine touchdowns and six interceptions in his last six appearances, as the Tennessee offense as a whole has failed to gain much traction. The rookie has failed to top 220 yards passing in three of his last four appearances, making last week's one-game resurgence against the Saints look like more of a fluke than anything else.
-
Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT
Packers' Aaron Rodgers: Tosses two scores against Detroit
Rodgers completed 35 of 61 passes for 333 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's loss to Detroit. He added eight yards on the ground on two carries.
If one were to glance briefly at the box score, they would likely assume that Rodgers had a solid day, topping 300 yards and not turning the ball over. A deeper look, however, shows that the mediocre Lions defense stymied Rodgers for much of the game, keeping the Packers out of the end zone until the fourth quater. It took Rodgers a season-high 61 attempts to reach 333 yards and he was held under 5.5 yards per attempt for the second time in three games. One would have to go back to 2010 to find two games in a single season in which Rodgers was held under 5.5 yards per attempt. Though Rodgers remains an elite fantasy quarterback in large part due to his tremendous 21-to-3 TD/INT ratio, he has not been his usual self thus far this year. He's been held under 300 yards passing in six contest this season and with two or fewer touchdown passes in six games. He had just eight such games of each in 2014.

Sam Bradford QB | MIN
Eagles' Sam Bradford: Has AC joint sprain and concussion
Bradford (concussion) was diagnosed with an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder following Sunday's defeat to the Dolphins, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Bradford initially left the game due to a shoulder injury, and after X-rays came back negative, it was revealed that he was evaluated for and diagnosed with a concussion. Now that the nature of the shoulder concern has been confirmed, Bradford will be hard-pressed to fit in any practice this week. If he fails to suit up next Sunday against the Buccaneers, Mark Sanchez will take over QB duties for the Eagles.

Jameis Winston QB | NYG
Buccaneers' Jameis Winston: Throws for 264, runs in winning score in Week 10
Winston completed 22-of-39 passes for 264 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 10-6 victory over the Cowboys. He also netted zero yards on two rushes but ran in a winning one-yard score.
It was a rollercoaster final series for Winston, whose unforced airborne fumble at the one-inch line late in the fourth quarter intially appeared to seal a victory for the Cowboys. Instead, Winston was bailed out on a defensive holding call against Dallas and then ran in the winning score on a one-yard bootleg the very next play. The 2015 first overall pick also threw his first pair of interceptions since Week 4 against Carolina, but tallied his third-highest yardage total on the season as well. Winston continues to play considerably well considering the short-handedness of his receiving corps, and draws the savvy Eagles defense as his next challenge in Week 11.
