Drake Maye QB | NE
Patriots' Drake Maye: Multi-TD effort in Week 9 win
Maye completed 19 of 29 passes for 259 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons. He added eight rushing attempts for 20 yards and fumbled twice, losing one.
Maye threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to DeMario Douglas in the first quarter and added an 11-yard touchdown pass to Stefon Diggs in the second quarter to produce the second-year quarterback's eighth multi-touchdown passing performance of the season. He was picked off in the third quarter, moving Maye's TD:INT to 17:4. Maye and the surging Patriots will take a six-game winning streak into their Week 10 trip to Tampa Bay, which is one of the toughest tests on New England's historically easy schedule.

RJ Harvey RB | DEN
Broncos' RJ Harvey: Hits paydirt again
Harvey gained five rushing yards on two carries and caught all five of his targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Texans.
The rookie actually led the Broncos in catches and receiving yards, setting new personal bests in those categories and capping his day with a 27-yard TD from Bo Nix early in the fourth quarter. Harvey has emerged as a big-play threat in Sean Payton's offense, getting into the end zone in three straight games and scoring five touchdowns in total -- two on the ground and three through the air -- despite seeing only 20 touches during that stretch. Harvey will look to keep making an impact as the No. 2 RB behind J.K. Dobbins in Week 10 against the Raiders.

Michael Pittman WR | PIT
Colts' Michael Pittman: Tops 100 yards
Pittman recorded nine receptions on 12 targets for 115 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Steelers.
The Colts faced a multi-score deficit for nearly the entire second half, forcing them to a pass-heavy offense. That benefited Pittman, who saw a season-high 12 targets and converted that into both his highest receptions and yardage totals of the campaign. Much of Pittman's production came in garbage time in the fourth quarter -- 65 of his 115 yards came in the last 12 minutes of game time -- but he took advantage of his opportunity in a mostly underwhelming offensive performance for the Colts.

J.K. Dobbins RB | DEN
Broncos' J.K. Dobbins: Leading rusher in win
Dobbins carried the ball 15 times for 61 yards and caught his only target for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Texans.
The veteran back led the Broncos in rushing on the afternoon, but he once again saw rookie RJ Harvey deliver a big play, this time a 27-yard TD reception from Bo Nix early in the fourth quarter that sparked a comeback. Dobbins has gone four straight games without a score of his own, putting a cap on his fantasy value, but he's still produced 695 rushing yards and four touchdowns through his first nine games with Denver. Dobbins should be busy again in Week 10 against the Raiders.

Bo Nix QB | DEN
Broncos' Bo Nix: More comeback magic in Week 9
Nix completed 18 of 37 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Texans. He added 36 rushing yards on three carries.
The Broncos didn't score their first points until late in the second quarter against a tough Houston defense, on Nix's 30-yard toss to Courtland Sutton, and they trailed 15-7 heading into the fourth, but the second-year QB found a way to get it done in the clutch yet again. After finding RJ Harvey for a 27-yard TD early in the final frame and adding a two-point conversion to Troy Franklin, Nix set up the game-winning field goal with his legs on runs of 25 and nine yards in the final minute of the game. Nix will take a 17:6 TD:INT through nine starts into a Week 10 clash with the Raiders.

Colston Loveland TE | CHI
Bears' Colston Loveland: Game-winning TD in wild victory
Loveland secured six of seven targets for 118 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears' 47-42 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
The rookie put a thrilling cap on the wildest fourth quarter of the season, recording a 58-yard catch-and-run touchdown during which he bounced off a would-be tackler in the middle of the field and sprinted into the end zone with 17 seconds remaining. Loveland preceded that memorable play with a five-yard scoring grab in the first half of the third quarter, and the two catches served as the 2025 first-round pick's first pair of NFL touchdowns. Loveland's career-high reception, yardage and target totals were partly the result of Cole Kmet exiting the game with a concussion in the second quarter, but the former is clearly earning the right to more playing time by the week.

Luke Musgrave TE | GB
Packers' Luke Musgrave: Season-high volume in Week 9
Musgrave caught all three of his targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers.
While his numbers were modest, Musgrave set new season highs in catches, targets and yardage. All three looks from Jordan Love came in the fourth quarter after Tucker Kraft (knee) left the game and didn't return, an injury the Packers are worried could be season-ending, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. If Tucker is indeed set to miss time, Musgrave will be set for a much bigger role beginning in Week 10 against the Eagles despite his meager 9-88-0 line on 10 targets through eight games.

Jonathan Taylor RB | IND
Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Slowed in Pittsburgh
Taylor rushed14 times for 45 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Steelers. He added two receptions on two targets for 12 yards.
Taylor has been unstoppable most of the season, but he was underwhelming in Sunday's loss. He was limited to only 3.2 yards per carry with a long gain of nine, though the Colts were also forced to take to the air as they faced a two-score deficit for nearly the entire second half. That limited Taylor's volume and led to his lowest yardage output of the season. This was also the first time he didn't find the end zone since Week 4.

Devin Singletary RB | NYG
Giants' Devin Singletary: Leads Giants RBs with 10 touches
Singletary rushed eight times for 43 yards and caught both of his targets for eight yards in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the 49ers.
Singletary outplayed Tyrone Tracy in the first game after Cam Skattebo's season-ending ankle injury. Tracy turned five carries and four targets into 37 scrimmage yards. The Giants' only rushing touchdown of the game was scored by Jaxson Dart, who also led the team with 56 rushing yards. The rookie quarterback will likely remain involved in the rushing attack against the Bears in Week 10, but Singletary and Tracy both look poised to maintain significant roles while splitting carries in the aftermath of Cam Skattebo's season-ending ankle injury.

Joe Alt OT | LAC
Chargers' Joe Alt: Dealing with familiar injury
Alt is believed to have suffered a right high ankle sprain in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans.
Alt was carted off the field in the second quarter, and he's apparently dealing with another high ankle sprain on his right leg. It's the same injury he suffered in Week 4 against the Giants, but this time it could require a procedure to repair it. The offensive lineman will undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm the diagnosis. If Alt is forced to miss action moving forward, Jamaree Salyer is a top candidate to take over at left tackle.
