  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Looks washed in blowout loss

    Rodgers completed 22 of 35 pass attempts for 151 yards and no touchdowns while losing a fumble on one of his three sacks taken in Sunday's 31-6 loss to Arizona.

    Rodgers looked like a shell of his former MVP self in a contest that the Jets absolutely needed to win, failing to throw a TD pass after having 10 over his previous five starts. The 40-year-old had strung together a pair of strong outings in recent weeks, but his arm simply looked gassed once the team fell behind and needed to put up points quickly. Rodgers and the Jets need to re-evaluate their gameplan now that the team has fallen to 3-7. For now, expect the veteran signal-caller to be under center against the Colts next Sunday.

  • Kyler Murray QB | MIN

    Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Misses just two passes in big win

    Murray completed 22 of 24 pass attempts for 266 yards and a touchdown while adding 21 rushing yards and two more scores on three carries in Sunday's 31-6 victory over the Jets.

    The dual-sport athlete nearly pitched a perfect game after missing just two pass attempts without turning the ball over while scoring three combined touchdowns in the blowout victory. Murray bounced back from his worst fantasy game of the season against the Bears last week, posting a gaudy stat line against the Jets. With over 2,000 combined yards of offense and 16 total touchdowns through 10 games, both fantasy managers and the Cardinals should feel good about the QB they have in camp this season. Murray will now enter his bye week and resume action in a road matchup against the Seahawks on Nov. 24.

  • Jalen Hurts QB | PHI

    Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Scores four TDs in three quarters

    Hurts completed 14 of 20 pass attempts for 202 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while rushing seven times for 56 yards and two scores in Sunday's 34-6 rout of the Cowboys.

    Hurts picked apart an outmatched Dallas defense from start to finish Sunday, resulting in his second game scoring four touchdowns this season. The 25-year-old is hitting his stride as teams approach the midpoint of the schedule, passing for 1,976 yards and 12 touchdowns on a career-best 70 percent completion rate. When factoring in the quarterback's 378 rushing yards and 10 trips to the end zone on the ground, the result is a resume for a potential MVP bid as the Eagles sit at 7-2 on the year. Hurts accomplished Sunday's fantasy score in barely over three quarters of action, which lines up nicely from a strategic standpoint as Philadelphia prepares to host Washington on a short week for Thursday Night Football in Week 11.

  • Justin Herbert QB | LAC

    Chargers' Justin Herbert: Two touchdowns in win

    Herbert completed 14 of his 18 pass attempts for 164 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Titans. He also ran nine times for 32 yards and an additional score.

    Herbert posted his best completion percentage of the season in a sharp and efficient outing against an overmatched Tennessee team. It was the first time in the last four games the Pro Bowl quarterback failed to eclipse 200-plus passing yards, but that was largely due to game script given the Chargers ran the ball 39 times against their overmatched opponent. Expect Herbert to be in a much better fantasy spot for production next week when he takes on the Bengals pass defense. Of additional note, Herbert has now thrown 210 straight passes without an interception.

  • Sam Darnold QB | SEA

    Vikings' Sam Darnold: Disastrous effort in win

    Darnold completed 24 of 38 passes for 241 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Jaguars.

    Darnold turned in his worst performance of the season by any measure, highlighted by three interceptions -- all of which came when he targeted Justin Jefferson. After throwing only five picks across his first seven starts of the campaign, Darnold now has five in his last two contests. The Vikings won both games despite his efforts, so Darnold should have a comfortable hold on the starting job, though he'll need a better showing in Week 11 against the Titans for fantasy managers to continue to have faith in his ability to deliver production.

  • Derek Carr QB | NO

    Saints' Derek Carr: Tosses two TDs in win

    Carr completed 16 of 25 passes for 269 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Falcons. He added 17 rushing yards on four carries.

    The veteran quarterback flashed a little bit of his early-season magic on deep balls, connecting with Marquez Valdes-Scantling on a 40-yard TD in the second quarter before finding the wideout again for a two-yard score before halftime. Carr and the New Orleans' offense went into a shell in the second half to protect a lead and end the team's seven-game losing streak, as well as give interim coach Darren Rizzi his first victory, but the early fireworks were still an encouraging sign for a passing game that has been struggling due to multiple injuries to the wide receiver corps. Carr will try to build on this performance in Week 11 against the Browns.

  • Jayden Daniels QB | WAS

    Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Slowed by Steelers

    Daniels completed 17 of 34 passes for 202 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Steelers. He added three rushes for five yards.

    Daniels struggled significantly for much of the game by averaging a season-low 5.9 yards per attempt. In addition to not finding the end zone, Daniels' fantasy performance was limited by his lack of rushing production as he was held below 20 rushing yards on the ground for the first time this season. Nevertheless, there were a few positives to take away from the performance, as Daniels had a few explosive moments, highlighted by long completions of 54, 28 and 23 yards -- two of which went to Terry McLaurin -- and did not turn the ball over. He'll look to bounce back from the worst performance of his stellar rookie season in a pivotal Week 11 divisional showdown with the Eagles.

  • Russell Wilson QB | NYG

    Steelers' Russell Wilson: Tosses game-winning score

    Wilson completed 14 of 28 passes for 195 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders. He also rushed the ball four times for three yards.

    Wilson couldn't maintain the efficiency of his first two starts of the season, as he slipped to only 7.0 yards per carry. However, he still led the Steelers to four scoring drives, and he capped three of those with passing scores of 32, 16 and three yards. His 32-yard touchdown came with only 2:16 remaining and proved to be the game-winning score on a deep connection with newcomer Mike Williams. Wilson now has three total touchdowns in two of his three starts and has yet to throw an interception.

  • Kirk Cousins QB | LV

    Falcons' Kirk Cousins: Tops 300 yards in Sunday's loss

    Cousins completed 23 of 38 passes for 306 yards with an interception in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints.

    An uncharacteristically awful day for Younghoe Koo cost the Falcons a win, but Cousins also struggled to get the ball into the end zone, failing to throw a TD pass for the first time since Week 4 -- the last time he faced the Saints. The veteran QB's 306 passing yards were his second-highest total of the season, however, behind only his mammoth 509-yard effort in Week 5 against the Bucs. Cousins will look to rebound on the road in Week 11, but he'll be facing another stingy secondary in the Broncos.

  • Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Stymied repeatedly in loss

    Mayfield completed 18 of 29 passes for 116 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions and added three rushing yards on three carries in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. He also committed three fumbles, recovering two.

    Mayfield averaged just 4.0 yards per attempt and was sacked twice, and he ultimately was frustrated repeatedly while working against a talented defense with a short-handed pass-catching corps. Mayfield couldn't facilitate anything more than a 39-yard performance for his pass catchers on the way to his lowest yardage total of the season. However, Mayfield was able to drive Tampa Bay into position for a game-tying field goal late before San Francisco answered with one of its own to win the game. Mayfield and the Bucs now head into a Week 11 bye, and the veteran signal-caller should have Mike Evans (hamstring) at his disposal when Tampa Bay returns to action against the Giants at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, Nov. 24.
