Mahomes completed 26 of 35 passes for 331 yards with four touchdowns and one interception in the Chiefs' 27-17 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. He also rushed seven times for 39 yards and fumbled once but recovered.

Mahomes worked through the early exit of JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) without much issue, pivoting to targeting Travis Kelce, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, versatile running back Jerick McKinnon and newcomer Kadarius Toney with plenty of success. Mahomes connected with Toney (six yards), Valdes-Scantling (18 yards), Noah Gray (13 yards) and Kelce (seven yards) for his scoring tosses, and he'll head into a Week 11 divisional road clash against the Chargers next Sunday night having thrown multiple touchdown passes in five of his last six games.

Matt Ryan started over Ehlinger in Sunday's game against the Raiders.

New head coach Jeff Saturday previously indicated that Ehlinger would remain the team's starting QB in Week 10, but instead the Colts will return to Ryan on Sunday, while Ehlinger is slated to serve as the team's No. 2 signal-caller. Meanwhile, Nick Foles was inactive for the contest.

Pickett completed 18 of 30 pass attempts for 199 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing eight times for 51 yards and a touchdown during the Steelers' 20-10 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Pickett was somewhat inefficient through the air during Sunday's matchup, but he propped up his fantasy production with a career-high 51 rushing yards while also reaching the end zone on the ground. The rookie first-rounder has now topped 1,000 passing yards to begin his professional career, as he's completed 66.7 percent of his pass attempts for 1,161 yards, two touchdowns and eight interceptions over his first six games with the Steelers.

Matt Ryan, and not Ehlinger, was seen taking warmups with the first-team center before Sunday's game against Las Vegas, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

It looks like new head coach Jeff Saturday could be making a switch at quarterback with Ryan moving back to the starting role. However, nothing is official yet.

Smith completed 23 of his 33 passes for 275 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 21-16 loss to Tampa Bay.

Smith had a costly fumble deep in Tampa Bay territory late in the third quarter, which was a contributing cause to Seattle's loss. However, he was strong from a fantasy perspective, averaging 8.3 yards per attempt while also connecting for scores of 21 and 19 yards. Smith now has multiple touchdown throws in four consecutive games, and he has recorded exactly 275 passing yards in two straight contests.

Wolford will start in place of Matthew Stafford (concussion) on Sunday versus the Cardinals, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Wolford handled the first-teams reps during Week 10 prep as Stafford attempted to clear the concussion protocol following Tuesday's diagnosis. With Stafford sidelined Sunday, Wolford will earn his third career start, including playoffs. In five overall appearances as a pro, Wolford has completed 26 of 48 passes (54.2 percent) for 265 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions and recorded nine carries for 57 yards.

McCoy will start in place of Kyler Murray (hamstring) on Sunday at the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Murray's availability came down to a game-time decision, and the Cardinals are exercising caution with their franchise signal-caller due to the hamstring injury that contained him to two limited practices during Week 10 prep. In three spot starts for Murray last season, McCoy completed 68 of 90 passes (75.6 percent) for 684 yards, three touchdowns and one interception and had 14 carries for 40 yards.

Stafford (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

After entering the concussion protocol Tuesday, Stafford was unable to mix into drills until Friday, when he was limited at practice. Despite entering the weekend as questionable, he seemed like a long shot to play Week 10 considering the quick turnaround following the diagnosis, and he indeed won't be available Sunday. In Stafford's place, John Wolford will make the sixth appearance and third start of his career. Stafford will look to clear the aforementioned protocol ahead of next Sunday's road matchup with the Saints.

Murray (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game at the Rams.

Murray showed up on the Cardinals' initial Week 10 practice report as a non-participant due to a hamstring injury. After managing back-to-back limited sessions to cap the week, he was listed as questionable, and coach Kliff Kingsbury said Friday that Murray's availability would come down to a game-time decision. A pregame warmup ultimately determined Murray's fate, and he'll take a seat with an eye on returning Week 11 for a Monday night matchup with the 49ers on Nov. 21. Murray will cede quarterback duties Sunday to Colt McCoy, while Trace McSorley serves as the backup.

Keenum is expected to remain the Bills' backup quarterback Sunday against the Vikings with Josh Allen (elbow) active for the contest and slated to start, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Though Allen was listed as questionable heading into Sunday's game after he managed just one limited practice this week due to the UCL injury he sustained in the Week 9 loss to the Jets, the Bills' decision not to add a third quarterback to the active roster Saturday pointed to Allen being ready to go. While Allen avoided the inactive list, he didn't initially take part in warmups with the team before he finally got on the field to take the first 11-on-11 walk-through rep with the offense, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Allen's activity on the field accompanied with Schefter's report thus points to Keenum serving in his usual backup role, though Keenum will remain ready to go on in the event Allen incurs any in-game setbacks.
