  • Jake Luton QB | LV

    Jaguars' Jake Luton: Turbulent outing against Steelers

    Luton completed 16 of 37 attempts for 151 passing yards, throwing no touchdowns and four interceptions during Sunday's 27-3 loss to Pittsburgh. He also fumbled but recovered the loose ball himself.

    In what may have been a predictable outcome in a matchup against Pittsburgh's vaunted defense, the rookie signal-caller was a turnover machine during his third career start. He was capable of keeping the Jaguars competitive against the Texans and Packers over his first two appearances Weeks 9 and 10, losing by a combined six points, but Sunday he was overwhelmed by the Steelers. After putting in a week of limited practices before ultimately being deemed inactive, Gardner Minshew (thumb) may be ready to retake the starting reigns next Sunday against the Browns.

  • Justin Herbert QB | LAC

    Chargers' Justin Herbert: Produces three TDs vs. Jets

    Herbert completed 37 of 49 pass attempts for 366 yards and three touchdowns while adding 11 yards on three rushing attempts during Sunday's 36-28 win over the Jets.

    Herbert completed 76 percent of his attempts and completed passes to eight different receivers en route to the highest yardage total of his young career. He completed touchdown passes to Mike Williams, Hunter Henry and Keenan Allen, making him the first rookie in NFL history with multiple touchdown tosses in seven straight games. Herbert is quickly becoming an elite fantasy option on a weekly basis and is capable of putting up big numbers despite a tricky cross-country trip to Buffalo coming up next Sunday.

  • Tua Tagovailoa QB | ATL

    Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Benched in Denver

    Tagovailoa completed 11 of 20 passes for 83 yards and a touchdown before being replaced by Ryan Fitzpatrick in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Broncos.

    With the Dolphins down 20-10 and having trouble protecting their rookie quarterback, coach Brian Flores removed Tagovailoa from the game after he was sacked for the sixth time and got his foot pinned under Bradley Chubb as he went down. Per Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com, Flores said after the game that Tagovailoa wasn't injured, and he made the switch to give the team its best chance of winning. Tagovailoa will remain the starter going forward, and he should get an easier matchup in Week 12 on the road against the Jets.

  • Joe Burrow QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Burrow: Torn ACL confirmed

    The initial diagnosis has confirmed a torn ACL for Burrow, who will get an MRI on Monday to look for possible additional damage, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Even if no additional damage is found, the torn ACL alone will end Burrow's season, and he'll have to avoid any setbacks in his recovery to be ready by the start of next season. The 2020 first overall pick was on pace to set multiple rookie passing records and finishes his season with 2,688 passing yards and a 13:5 TD:INT in 10 games.

  • Ryan Tannehill QB | TEN

    Titans' Ryan Tannehill: Impressive in second-half rally

    Tannehill completed 22 of 31 passes for 259 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Week 11 against the Ravens.

    Tannehill and the Titans' offense was stalled for the entirety of the first half, during which he managed only 42 passing yards and a touchdown. However, he led a strong comeback effort in the third and fourth quarters, highlighted by a 14-yard touchdown toss to A.J. Brown. The effort marked the first time Tannehill has surpassed 200 yards since Week 8, though he has managed multiple throwing scores in all but two of his starts on the campaign. The Titans draw a pivotal Week 12 matchup against the Colts.

  • Browns' Baker Mayfield: Lackluster production vs. Eagles

    Mayfield completed 12 of 22 pass attempts for 204 yards and carried six times for nine yards during Sunday's 22-17 win over the Eagles.

    Mayfield averaged a healthy 9.3 yards per attempt but took a backseat to the run game for much of the day due to more bad weather in Cleveland. This lackluster passing output was actually his highest in three games after he averaged just 127 yards over his previous two, giving a clear picture of the state of the Browns offense at this point. However, Mayfield has led his team to a 7-3 record with three wins in the last four games. He will enjoy a favorable matchup against the Jaguars next Sunday, but Cleveland figures to continue with its run-heavy approach against an inferior opponent.

  • Joe Burrow QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Burrow: Torn ACL feared

    The Bengals believe Burrow (knee) suffered a torn left ACL during Sunday's 20-9 loss to Washington, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Burrow's left leg bent awkwardly while taking a sack Sunday, and Cincinnati's initial diagnosis for his injury is a season-ending ACL tear. The rookie quarterback will receive an MRI to confirm the severity of his injury Monday, but given that he wrote "see ya next year" in a message shared via his official Twitter account, it looks like Burrow is destined to miss the rest of the 2020 season. Ryan Finley finished Sunday's loss in Burrow's stead, and Cincinnati also has Brandon Allen on the practice squad.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Limited to one touchdown

    Jackson completed 17 of 29 passes for 186 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 11 against Tennessee. He added 13 rushes for 51 yards on the ground.

    The Ravens scored on three of their first four possessions of the game, though two stalled inside the 10-yard line and another was capped by a J.K. Dobbins rushing touchdown. That limited Jackson to one total touchdown, which came on a 31-yard strike to Mark Andrews. Even so, Jackson maintained his production on the ground, topping 50 rushing yards for the eighth time in 10 games this season. Jackson will draw a tough Week 12 matchup Thanksgiving Night against the Steelers, a defense that turned him over four times in a Week 8 showdown.

  • P.J. Walker QB | SEA

    Panthers' P.J. Walker: Holds own in Week 11 start

    Walker completed 24 of 34 passes for 258 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in the Panthers' 20-0 win over the Lions on Sunday. He also netted minus-2 yards on five rushes, and he fumbled once but recovered.

    Making what could be termed a quasi-last-minute spot start for Teddy Bridgewater (knee) -- whose status was in doubt until pregame warmups -- Walker acquitted himself very well overall in his first NFL opportunity to open a game under center. The former XFL star displayed impressive accuracy even while keeping his targets limited to just four pass catchers overall. However, three of those were the top wideout trio of DJ Moore, Curtis Samuel and Robby Anderson, who Walker hit for at least one double-digit completion apiece, including a nifty 17-yard touchdown toss to Samuel. Carolina's defense also played its best game of the season by far, helping support the inexperienced signal-caller with its play. Bridgewater reportedly is likely to return for a Week 12 road matchup versus the Vikings, but even if this turns out to be Walker's only start, he undoubtedly picked up some valuable experience and proved he's capable of stepping in should the former go down again at any point.

  • Deshaun Watson QB | CLE

    Texans' Deshaun Watson: Bounces back in win over Pats

    Watson completed 28 of 37 passes for 344 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-20 win over New England. He added 36 yards and a touchdown on six rushing attempts.

    Watson threw a three-yard touchdown pass to Randall Cobb in the first quarter, then barreled over a pair of Patriots defenders for a four-yard touchdown run to give his team a 14-10 lead in the second. He had a would-be highlight reel touchdown to Brandin Cooks wiped out by an ineligible man downfield but connected with Keke Coutee for a six-yard touchdown four plays later to take a 21-10 lead into the locker room. Watson failed to find the end zone in the second half but continued to rack up yardage, topping 300 yards for the fifth time in his last seven games. The star quarterback will look to keep rolling against the Lions on Thanksgiving.
