Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT
Steelers' Aaron Rodgers: Shut down by Chargers
Rodgers completed 16 of 31 passes for 161 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Chargers.
The Steelers had minimal success moving the ball at any point when the outcome was in doubt, and Rodgers made several uncharacteristic mistakes. He took a safety midway through the first quarter and then overthrew his intended targets several times, including an interception late in the second quarter that led to a touchdown for the Chargers. Rodgers managed to lead a garbage-time drive late in the fourth quarter to rack up 64 yards and a touchdown to pad his stat line, but he has now averaged 6.1 yards per attempt or fewer in three straight games.

Chris Boswell K | PIT
Steelers' Chris Boswell: Rare miss in loss
Boswell went 1-for-2 on field-goal tries and made his only PAT in Sunday night's 25-10 loss to the Chargers.
Boswell nailed a 59-yard field goal in the first quarter before pushing a 45-yarder wide right early in the second quarter. The kicker had a field-goal try blocked in Week 4 versus the Vikings and slipped on another try in Week 6 against Cleveland, resulting in both of his previous misses this season. Boswell has now gone 17-for-20 on field-goal attempts, including 6-for-7 from 50-plus yards, while making all 21 of his extra-point tries over nine games this year.

Ladd McConkey WR | LAC
Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Goes off for 107 yards plus score
McConkey had four receptions on six targets for 107 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-10 win over the Steelers.
McConkey paced the Chargers with a season-high 107 yards receiving and his fourth touchdown reception on the year. The stellar sophomore nearly ripped off a second score when he scampered down the sidelines for a game-high 58-yard reception before being tracked down by Jalen Ramsey in the red zone. After a bit of a slow start to the campaign, McConkey has caught fire midseason en route to a 51-631-4 receiving line through 10 starts. Expect the elite slot receiver to remain a featured cog on offense against the Jaguars next Sunday.

Cameron Dicker K | LAC
Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Makes three FGAs during SNF
Dicker went 3-for-4 on field-goal attempts and made both of his PATs in Sunday night's 25-10 win over the Steelers.
Dicker made a 32-yard field goal in the second quarter before later adding makes from 59 and 42 yards in the second half. His lone miss on the night came in the third quarter, when he connected with the left upright on a 55-yard field-goal attempt. Dicker remains one of the most consistent kickers in the league, and he's now gone 23-for-25 on field-goal tries, including 3-for-4 from 50-plus yards, over 10 contests this season.

Kimani Vidal RB | LAC
Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Serves as workhorse on SNF
Vidal took 25 carries for 95 yards and a touchdown while adding 13 yards on one reception in Sunday's 25-10 win over Pittsburgh.
Vidal bounced back in a big way from a forgettable showing against the Titans last week (12-30-0). The 23-year-old set a new personal high with Sunday's 25 carries while cashing in his second rushing touchdown (third overall) through five starts for the injured Omarion Hampton (ankle). The latter is expected to remain out until after the Chargers' Week 12 bye, affording Vidal at least one more opportunity to operate as the team's lead back. Fantasy managers should be wary against Jacksonville next Sunday, as Vidal has alternated stud and dud performances in each of the aforementioned five starts this season.

Jack Campbell LB | DET
Lions' Jack Campbell: Limited production in win
Campbell recorded five total tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 44-22 win over Washington.
Campbell wasn't as busy as usual with Detroit separating from the Commanders down the stretch, securing a season-low five stops. The linebacker had registered at least eight tackles in every game prior to entering Week 10. On the year, Campbell has produced 78 total tackles (43 solo), including 4.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery over nine contests.

Zach Ertz TE | WAS
Commanders' Zach Ertz: One of Mariota's favorite targets
Ertz recorded four receptions on five targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Lions.
Ertz was among Marcus Mariota's favorite targets, tying for the team lead in both targets and receptions while finishing second in yardage. He accounted for most of his production with the Commanders chasing the score, including long catches of 30 and 12 yards. This was Ertz's best performance with Mariota under center, though he'll head into a potentially high-scoring matchup against the Dolphins in Week 11.

Brian Branch CB | DET
Lions' Brian Branch: Strong performance in Week 10
Branch recorded seven total tackles (four solo), including 1.5 sacks, in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders.
Branch led the team in stops, and he was able to get to Marcus Mariota twice in the contest, logging a full sack in the first quarter before combining with defensive tackle Roy Lopez to sack the quarterback in the third. The safety is now up to 46 total tackles (31 solo), including 2.5 sacks, while also compiling five passes defensed and a forced fumble over eight games this year.
-
David Montgomery RB | HOU
Lions' David Montgomery: Tallies 71 yards in win
Montgomery rushed the ball 15 times for 71 yards in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders. He added one reception on one target for zero yards.
Montgomery was overshadowed by a huge performance from Jahmyr Gibbs, but the former still saw an even split in carries. He also turned in a relatively efficient outing, including five rushes of at least five yards. While it was generally a positive outing for Montgomery, this marked only the fourth time he's topped 50 rushing yards this season, and he remains dependent on finding the end zone to turn in useful fantasy performances.

Cooper Kupp WR | SEA
Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: Gains 74 yards in blowout win
Kupp (hamstring) finished with two receptions on as many targets for 74 yards in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Cardinals.
Kupp showed no ill effects from the hamstring injury that had his status for Sunday in question, as he scampered for 67 yards on one of his two catches. The veteran receiver is averaging just two targets over the Seahawks' last three contests, putting a hard cap on his fantasy value despite recording solid production on low usage. The addition of WR Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline could eventually cut into Kupp's role further as the season progresses. That said, Kupp's hot play of late combined with the potential to produce against his former club keeps him in the fantasy conversation against the Rams next Sunday.
