Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT
Packers' Aaron Rodgers: Throws for three scores in win
Rodgers (thumb) completed 14 of 20 pass attempts for 224 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 31-28 overtime win over Dallas.
Rodgers had a unique stat line in a narrow victory, as he attempted just 20 pass attempts (his lowest total in 2022) but managed to produce his first three-score game of the campaign. Fantasy managers have to be pleased with the end results when factoring in the veteran's struggles this year combined with a tough matchup on paper. Rodgers was finally able to get things cooking with top rookie wideout Christian Watson, who hauled in all three of the quarterback's touchdown strikes Sunday. The 38-year-old will look to build off this solid showing against the Titans on Thursday Night Football in Week 11.

Andy Dalton QB | PHI
Saints' Andy Dalton: Poor in loss to Pittsburgh
Dalton completed 17 of his 27 passes for 174 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Steelers.
Dalton turned in another poor effort, highlighted by two fourth-quarter interceptions, the first of which up a Steelers' touchdown and another that effectively ended the game. The primary positive to take from his performance was a 15-yard touchdown to Juwan Johnson just before halftime. However, Dalton has failed to top 200 passing yards in three of his seven games as the Saints' starter and has only one touchdown in five of those matchups. With Jameis Winston fully healthy, Dalton could be at risk of losing his starting job.

Russell Wilson QB | NYG
Broncos' Russell Wilson: Performance regresses
Wilson completed 21 of 42 passes for 286 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Titans. He added eight rushing yards on seven attempts.
Wilson turned in his highest yardage total since Week 1, but that was mostly due to volume as he averaged only 6.8 yards per attempt. Much of that damage came on a 66-yard touchdown strike to Jalen Virgil that came midway through the second quarter -- one of his two completions of more than 20 yards. Wilson lost Jerry Jeudy (ankle) on Denver's first offensive play, which explains some of his struggles, but he's failed to throw for multiple touchdowns in seven of eight games this season and has surpassed 300 passing yards just once.

Colt McCoy QB | ARI
Cardinals' Colt McCoy: Back in Sunday's game
McCoy (undisclosed) returned to Sunday's contest at the Rams.
Subbing in for an inactive Kyler Murray (hamstring) on Sunday, McCoy stayed on the turf for a spell in the middle of the third quarter after being called for intentional grounding. He required some on-field attention and then went to the sideline tent, after which he was spotted with a wrap on his upper left leg, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com. That said, McCoy was able to swap back in for Trace McSorley for the start of the Cardinals' next possession and continued to direct the offense.

Colt McCoy QB | ARI
Cardinals' Colt McCoy: Exits due to injury Sunday
McCoy was forced out of Sunday's game at the Rams due to an undisclosed injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
McCoy was getting a spot start for Kyler Murray, who is inactive Week 10 due to a hamstring injury. But McCoy stayed down on the turf after getting called for intentional grounding in the third quarter and required medical attention before seeming to favor his left hamstring as he made his way to the sideline tent. If McCoy is unable to return, Trace McSorley will direct the Cardinals offense for the rest of Sunday's outing.

Jacoby Brissett QB | ARI
Browns' Jacoby Brissett: Pedestrian passing effort in loss
Brissett completed 22 of 35 passes for 212 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Browns' 39-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also rushed seven times for 40 yards.
Brissett had a generally difficult afternoon while taking three sacks and a whopping 11 additional hits overall. The veteran interim starter made the best of a less-than-ideal situation that saw Cleveland have to go pass-heavy in the second half, connecting with nine different targets overall. Brissett also posted his second-highest rushing yardage total of the season to help supplement his production, but he'll draw another thorny matchup in what projects as his penultimate start when he and the Browns travel to Buffalo for a Week 11 matchup against the Bills

Kirk Cousins QB | LV
Vikings' Kirk Cousins: Tops 350 yards in OT win
Cousins completed 30 of 50 passing attempts for 357 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions while rushing six times for 12 yards in Sunday's 33-30 overtime win over the Bills.
Cousins opened the scoring with a 22-yard touchdown pass to Justin Jefferson, but Minnesota proceeded to fall into a 27-10 hole before Cousins led them back. He was stuffed on a 4th-and-goal rushing attempt inside the one-yard line in the final minute, but Buffalo fumbled the snap on the next play and Minnesota's defense recovered for the go-ahead touchdown. Cousins then engineered the go-ahead drive in overtime while flashing brilliant chemistry with Jefferson, who accounted for 193 of Cousins' 357 yards. The 34-year-old quarterback has thrown at least one touchdown in each of Minnesota's first nine games to guide the team to an 8-1 record heading into a Week 11 visit from the Cowboys.

Justin Fields QB | KC
Bears' Justin Fields: Another huge effort on ground
Fields completed 12 of 20 passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns with one interception and gained 147 rushing yards and two more TDs on 13 carries in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Lions.
For the second straight game, Fields produced four total touchdowns, although he gave one back by throwing a INT that Jeff Okudah returned 20 yards to the house in the fourth quarter, helping to fuel a late comeback by Detroit. Fields also became the first quarterback in the Super Bowl era with multiple rushing scores of at least 60 yards in the same season after galloping for a 67-yard TD on the possession immediately after tossing the pick-six. The second-year star has thrown multiple touchdowns in three straight contests and run for at least one in four straight heading into a Week 11 matchup with the Falcons.

Josh Allen QB | BUF
Bills' Josh Allen: Three costly turnovers in OT loss
Allen completed 29 of 43 passes for 330 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Vikings. He added six rushing attempts for 84 yards and lost a fumble.
Allen had been nursing a right elbow injury but didn't look limited in any way on the field. Playing in a light Buffalo snow, Allen displayed his trademark physicality at the end of multiple big plays on the ground while topping 80 rushing yards for a second consecutive game. Devin Singletary's first two rushing touchdowns of the season accounted for Buffalo's first 14 points before Allen's 11-yard touchdown pass to Gabe Davis gave the Bills a 24-10 lead in the final minute of the first half. Allen stayed down after attempting a tackle following a fourth-quarter interception but returned to the game and lost a fumble in Buffalo's end zone for Minnesota's go-ahead touchdown with less than a minute remaining. He then benefited from a controversial non-review of a Davis catch along the sideline and a defensive pass interference penalty to set up a game-tying field goal with two seconds remaining in regulation, but Allen was picked off in the end zone to end the game after Minnesota's go-ahead field goal in overtime. After a 6-1 start, Allen and the Bills have dropped two in a row heading into a Week 11 visit from the Browns.

Jared Goff QB | DET
Lions' Jared Goff: Efficient in win over Chicago
Goff completed 19 of 26 passes for 236 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Bears. He added 14 rushing yards on four carries.
While he didn't post big numbers, Goff did lead the Lions on two TD drives in the fourth quarter to give his team its first road win of the Dan Campbell era. It's the third time in the last four games the 28-year-old QB has completed at least 73 percent of his passes, and his 8.0 YPA over that stretch isn't reflected in his 4:3 TD:INT. Goff will look to keep rolling in Week 11 against the Giants.
