  • Jayden Daniels QB | WAS

    Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Suffers significant left arm injury

    Daniels walked off the field with his left arm in a brace after sustaining an injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Daniels appeared to sustain a significant injury to his left arm at the end of a scramble with the Commanders trailing 38-7 in the fourth quarter. Marcus Mariota will finish out the game in relief while further evaluation of Daniels' injury will be required before a return timetable is established. Prior to the injury, Daniels completed 16 of 22 passes for 153 yards, no touchdowns and one interception while rushing 10 times for 51 yards and a touchdown.

  • Tyson Bagent QB | CHI

    Bears' Tyson Bagent: Attempts one pass in win

    Bagent completed his only pass for 20 yards in the Bears' 47-42 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

    Bagent handled mop-up duty and remains a clear backup to Caleb Williams. He holds no fantasy value in single-QB formats.

  • Geno Smith QB | LV

    Raiders' Geno Smith: Responds with four TDs in OT loss

    Smith completed 29 of 39 pass attempts for 284 yards, four touchdowns and an interception while taking five carries for nine yards in Sunday's 30-29 overtime loss to the Jaguars.

    Smith rebounded nicely from a historically-poor performance against the Chiefs (67 passing yards, no touchdowns) in the Raiders' last appearance. The 34-year-old welcomed Brock Bowers (knee) back with open arms Sunday, hooking up in the end zone with his talented tight end on three separate occasions. The four passing touchdowns set a new single-game high for Smith since joining the silver and black this past offseason. It's been a true boom or bust situation for the veteran signal-caller in Las Vegas, as he has now finished with less than 200 passing yards in half of his eight starts. Managers should be wary of trusting Smith on a short week in a tough matchup against Denver on Thursday Night Football in Week 10.

  • Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Scores two rushing TDs in OT win

    Lawrence completed 23 of 34 pass attempts for 220 yards and one interception while taking nine carries for 24 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's 30-29 overtime win over Las Vegas.

    Lawrence overcame an illness in order to suit up and lead his team to a thrilling victory in extra time Sunday. The 2021 first-overall pick failed to throw a touchdown pass for the second time this season. Unlike his performance against Houston in Week 3, Lawrence was able to reward managers with his second multi-score game on the ground this season. The Clemson product has seen his production from the pocket take a hit in 2025, as he is currently sporting a completion percentage worse than the 60 percent mark from his rookie year. While the unexpected rushing production was well received, Lawrence simply isn't doing enough as a passer (nine touchdowns to six picks) to warrant a consistent starting spot in standard formats. The 5-3 Jaguars will face a stiff test against the Texans' stingy defense next Sunday.

  • Josh Allen QB | BUF

    Bills' Josh Allen: Another three-score day Sunday

    Allen completed 23 of 26 pass attempts for 273 yards and a touchdown while taking six carries for 19 yards and two more scores in Sunday's 28-21 win over Kansas City.

    Allen turned in similar results in the box score to last week's three-score showing against the Panthers, when he threw for a touchdown while cashing in two more from in close with his legs. Unlike his last outing, the 29-year-old was more involved as a passer in Sunday's statement win, finishing with his second-highest yardage total this season while out-dueling Patrick Mahomes in the process. Allen has seen his passing volume take a hit in 2025 as the Bills feature a more run-heavy offense. His current pace projects to 3,895 passing yards, which would result in consecutive seasons finishing below 4,000 yards for the first time since his first two years in the league. Allen has helped offset his more timid presence in the pocket with a whopping seven rushing scores in eight appearances. Look for the good times to continue rolling for Allen in a soft matchup against the Dolphins next Sunday.

  • Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Loses showdown with Josh Allen

    Mahomes completed 15 of 34 pass attempts for 250 yards, no touchdowns and one interception while adding five yards on his only carry in Sunday's 28-21 loss to Buffalo.

    Mahomes picked a poor time to have his worst passing performance of the season after being outshined by rival Josh Allen (123.2 QB rating) in a loss that reshaped the landscape atop the AFC. It was Mahomes' first contest in 2025 in which he failed to register a touchdown, and also the first time he finished with a completion rate below 50 percent. Even with Sunday's dud, the 29-year-old heads into the upcoming bye week completing 65 percent of his passes for 2,349 passing yards and 21 total touchdowns through nine starts. Fantasy managers will have to search for a replacement signal-caller in Week 10 before Mahomes returns to action against Denver on Nov. 16.

  • Tyler Shough QB | NO

    Saints' Tyler Shough: Unimpressive in first career start

    Shough was 15-for-24 passing for 176 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Sunday's 34-10 defeat to the Rams.

    Shough turned in a quiet performance in another dreadful outing for the Saints' offense. New Orleans played from behind in stops and starts for essentially the entire game, as the Rams dominated time of possession 43:53-16:07. Shough showed some promise when he piloted a six-play, 71-yard touchdown drive at the end of the first half, but he had only three offensive series in the second half, including a final possession that ended with a fourth-down interception. Shough and the Saints' offense will need to make some significant improvements before their first matchup versus the division-rival Panthers in Week 10 next Sunday.

  • Rams' Matthew Stafford: Barrage of touchdowns continues

    Stafford completed 24 of 32 passes for 281 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Saints. He also had four rushes for minus-4 yards.

    Stafford had an exceptional performance on limited volume, completing five passes of at least 20 yards -- including a 39-yard strike down the right sideline while beating double-coverage for a touchdown to Puka Nacua (chest). Stafford converted an additional three touchdowns, coming from four, three, and one yard away. Even though Stafford threw only nine passes in the second half due to game script, he managed to turn in his fourth game with at least 275 passing yards and has three or more touchdowns in four of his last five matchups.

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Steelers' Aaron Rodgers: Manages Steelers to win

    Rodgers completed 25 of 35 passes for 203 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Colts. He added two rushes for zero yards.

    The Steelers forced five turnovers, which created several short fields for Rodgers and the offense to work with. They struggled to find much rhythm early, as Rodgers managed to throw for only 108 yards despite attempting 22 passes in the first half. He didn't make mistakes in the win and managed to connect with Pat Freiermuth for a 12-yard touchdown, but Rodgers failed to complete a pass of at least 20 yards for the first time this season while averaging a season-worst 5.8 yards per attempt. This also marked the first time he's failed to throw for multiple touchdowns since Week 4.

  • Josh Johnson QB | WAS

    Commanders' Josh Johnson: Operating as emergency QB

    Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against the Seahawks, but he will operate as the team's emergency third quarterback.

    Johnson will be back in his familiar role as Washington's No. 3 QB in Week 9. The 39-year-old has yet to appear in a contest this season, and he'd only be able to do so if Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota are sidelined with injuries.
