Bridgewater completed 19 of 28 pass attempts for 249 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Cowboys. He added three rushes for -1 yards and one touchdown.

Bridgewater picked apart the Cowboys' defense and averaged 8.9 yards per attempt. The primary thing holding him back from a bigger performance was game script, as the Broncos played from ahead for the majority of the game, and Bridgewater completed only three passes in the second half. Even so, he now has multiple total touchdowns in four of his last five games heading into a Week 10 matchup against Philadelphia.

Mahomes completed 20 of 37 pass attempts for 166 yards and one touchdown against Green Bay on Sunday.

For the third week in a row, Mahomes had a favorable matchup but averaged under six yards per pass attempt and failed to score multiple touchdowns. Even before this brutal three-game stretch, Mahomes had more turnovers (five) than touchdowns (four) in Weeks 5 and 6, so he's been struggling for five weeks now. Mahomes is clearly too good of a quarterback -- and players like Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce are too good as pass catchers -- for these struggles to last forever, but it's alarming that it has taken this long to sort out their struggles. An adjustment of some kind in the Kansas City offense might be necessary, and such maneuvering could come before the Chiefs face the Raiders on Sunday Night Football in Week 10.

Carr completed 30 of his 46 passes for 296 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Giants. He also ran twice for five yards and lost a fumble.

Carr took to the air more than 40 times for the third time this season, though production didn't follow. He was picked off twice -- one of which was returned for a touchdown -- and he also lost a fumble on a potential game-tying drive with 44 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Carr also failed to record multiple touchdowns for only the second time this season despite the multitude of opportunities to produce. He could be in for a shootout in Week 10 against the Chiefs and will look for a bounceback effort.

Love completed 19 of 34 pass attempts for 190 yards, one touchdown and one interception against Kansas City on Sunday.

Love also ran for 23 yards on five carries. He seemed to struggle to identify pressure pre-snap and often made errant throws when the subsequent post-snap pressure caught him by surprise, but at times when he had blocking he made a handful of encouraging throws. The interception was nearly a completed pass to Davante Adams, but the throw was slightly off, and corner L'Jarius Sneed made a great play to snatch it from Adams. There was never any doubt that this is Aaron Rodgers' team when healthy, but Love all but confirmed Sunday that he needs more development before he might be able to cash in on his otherwise substantial athletic talent.

Jones completed 15 of 20 passes for 110 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Raiders. He added four rushes for 17 yards.

The Giants relied heavily on their ground game by logging 31 rushing attempts as opposed to only 20 pass attempts. That deflated Jones' numbers, as did the fact that he averaged only 5.5 yards per attempt -- his second-lowest mark of the season. More positively, Jones managed to largely play mistake-free football, though he did lose his third fumble of the season. Also notable is the disappearance of Jones' rushing upside, as he's logged 20 yards or fewer with his legs in four of his last five games. He and the Giants have their bye in Week 10.

Brissett completed 26 of 43 passes for 244 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in the Dolphins' 17-9 win over the Texans on Sunday. He also rushed once for seven yards and lost a fumble.

The veteran was called into action when Tua Tagovailoa was deemed a bit too risky a proposition to start the contest due to his finger fracture. Brissett performed reasonably well under the circumstances, although the pair of interceptions were a blemish. Brissett also encouragingly got Jaylen Waddle more involved downfield than in prior games, connecting with the talented rookie on eight occasions for 83 yards. The 28-year-old Brissett may be set for another start Thursday night against the Ravens if Tagovailoa is still considered too injured to helm the offense.

Prescott completed 19 of 39 passes for 232 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Broncos. He added two rushes for 16 yards.

Prescott turned in a disastrous performance for much of the game, as he entered halftime with only 75 passing yards on five completions. While his final stat line suggests that Prescott and the Cowboys picked up their performance in the second half, the vast majority of his production came once the team was down 30-0. Coming off a one-game absence caused by a calf injury, Prescott will look to get back to his prolific form for a Week 10 matchup against Atlanta.

Cousins completed 17 of 28 passes for 187 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Vikings' 34-31 overtime loss to the Ravens on Sunday. He also scored a one-yard touchdown on his only rush attempt.

Cousins didn't take a single sack and stayed away from turnovers altogether, but he still turned in an underwhelming effort from a yardage perspective against what had been an inconsistent secondary. Nevertheless, he delivered for fantasy managers with his three total touchdowns, with the two through the air going to Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen from 50 and one yard out in the first and fourth quarters, respectively. Cousins has been under 200 passing yards in two straight games and will have an uphill battle to improve much on his yardage numbers against the stingy Chargers secondary in Week 10.

Lawrence (ankle) completed 15 of 26 pass attempts for 118 yards Sunday in Jacksonville's 9-6 win over Buffalo.

Lawrence suffered a low-ankle sprain during the game, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com, though the quarterback only left long enough for backup C.J. Beathard to throw two passes. Lawrence and the Jaguars offense were completely overmatched by the Bills defense, but the Jacksonville defense played the hero and willed the Jags to the narrow victory. Lawrence might get leadership points for the toughness he showed, but his fantasy outlook remains bleak. It will be worth monitoring whether Lawrence shows up on the injury report leading up to Jacksonville's Week 10 game against the Colts.

Burrow completed 28 of 40 passes for 282 yards and two interceptions while adding one yard on two rushing attempts in Sunday's 41-16 loss to the Browns.

Burrow led Cincinnati down to Cleveland's three-yard line on the opening drive but then threw a disastrous interception that Browns cornerback Denzel Ward took the other way for a touchdown. The Bengals' offense bounced back on the ensuing drive, marching downfield again and this time punching it in with an 11-yard Joe Mixon rushing touchdown to tie the game. It was all Cleveland after that, though, as Burrow failed to throw a touchdown pass after having tossed multiple scores in every previous game this season. Burrow will have to stew over this disappointing performance over Cincinnati's Week 10 bye before traveling to Vegas in Week 11.
