  • John Wolford QB | MIN

    Rams' John Wolford: Tepid numbers in Week 10 start

    Wolford completed 24 of 36 passes for 212 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals.

    With Matthew Stafford (concussion) inactive, Wolford made his first start of the season and struggled to both move the ball and protect it, losing one of his two fumbles in addition to tossing a pick in the fourth quarter as the Rams tried to mount a comeback. Stafford appeared to be making progress in his recovery Friday but ran out of time to clear the league's concussion protocols, making it likely Wolford will return to the bench for a Week 11 clash with the Saints.

  • Colt McCoy QB | ARI

    Cardinals' Colt McCoy: Workmanlike effort in win

    McCoy completed 26 of 37 passes for 238 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Rams.

    In a battle of backup QBs with Kyler Murray (hamstring) and Matthew Stafford (concussion) both sidelined, McCoy came out on top over John Wolford with a solid performance that included a six-yard TD strike to fellow old-timer A.J. Green just before halftime. The 36-year-old Cardinal could return to the bench in Week 11 if Murray's ready to go, but if not McCoy would likely be under center for a tough NFC West battle against the 49ers. Although he picked up his own lower-body injury during the contest, McCoy suggested after the game he thinks it won't be an issue, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

  • Davis Mills QB | HOU

    Texans' Davis Mills: Tops 300 yards in loss

    Mills completed 22 of 37 passes for 319 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Giants.

    Mills topped 300 passing yards for the second time in his last four games and effectively spread the ball to a number of Texans' receivers. His lone touchdown came midway through the third quarter, when he connected with Nico Collins for a 12-yard score. Mills also matched his season-best mark of five completions of more than 20 yards, finding Chris Moore deep on three of those occasions. While it was a relatively positive performance, Mills threw an interception for the fourth consecutive game, with Sunday's coming at an inopportune time deep in Giants' territory in the fourth quarter. For the season, he now has 11 touchdowns as opposed to nine interceptions.

  • Derek Carr QB | NO

    Raiders' Derek Carr: Tosses two TDs in loss

    Carr completed 24 of 38 passes for 248 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Colts.

    It was a solid showing for Carr, and he even gave the Raiders a lead early in the fourth quarter with a 48-yard TD strike to Davante Adams, but the Las Vegas defense couldn't make it hold up. Carr has a sharp 11:2 TD:INT over eight games since tossing three picks in the season opener, but he faces a tough test in Week 11 against a Broncos defense that held him under 200 yards with zero TDs in their first meeting this year.

  • Dak Prescott QB | DAL

    Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Falls short in overtime loss

    Prescott completed 27 of 46 pass attempts for 265 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 31-28 loss to Green Bay.

    Prescott performed well in a tough road matchup, but two drive-killing interceptions factored in the eventual losing result. The 28-year-old has seen his production increase gradually in three games since returning from thumb surgery, which should provide some optimism for fantasy managers moving forward. Prescott will look to take another small step forward against against a vulnerable Minnesota secondary next Sunday.

  • 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.
