  • Derek Carr QB | NO

    Raiders' Derek Carr: Accounts for two TDs vs. Bengals

    Carr completed 25 of 29 pass attempts for 292 yards, one touchdown and one interception Sunday against the Bengals. He also carried five times for one yard and a touchdown during the 17-10 win.

    Carr was quite effective as a passer, completing 86 percent of his passes while averaging an impressive 10.1 yards per attempt. He came within a yard of his season high in passing yardage, while his multi-touchdown effort was his sixth in the last eight contests. Carr has thrived in favorable matchups this season and will look to do so again next Sunday against the Jets.

  • 49ers' Jimmy Garoppolo: Huge performance in comeback win

    Garoppolo completed 34 of 45 passes for a career-high 424 yards and four touchdowns with two interceptions in Sunday's 36-26 win over the Cardinals.

    The Niners shockingly found themselves in a 16-0 hole midway through the second quarter, forcing Kyle Shanahan to ditch his running attack and put the ball in Garoppolo's hands. The quarterback made the comeback more difficult with his two picks, one a terrible toss in the red zone, but he still put together a phenomenal performance, especially considering George Kittle (knee) was inactive and Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) was clearly less than 100 percent. Garoppolo's carelessness with the ball remains a concern, as he's thrown at least one INT in eight of 10 games this season, but his 18 TD passes have helped make up for it -- although eight of them have come in his two games against the Cards, who he won't get to face again this year.

  • Sam Darnold QB | SEA

    Jets' Sam Darnold: Throws four touchdowns

    Darnold completed 19 of 30 passes for 293 yards, four touchdowns and one interception in Week 11 against the Redskins.

    Darnold worked very efficiently, needing only 30 pass attempts to post his highest-yardage total since Week 6. He also hit on four touchdowns from 20, six, 16 and 19 yards to post a single-game, career-best mark. Though positive matchups may explain much of his production, Darnold has now completed 65 of 99 attempts for 783 yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions across his last three contests. He'll look to keep things going with another exploitable opponent as the Jets take on Oakland in Week 12.

  • Kyler Murray QB | MIN

    Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Produces three TDs in loss

    Murray completed 24 of 33 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns while gaining 67 rushing yards and a TD on eight carries in Sunday's 36-26 loss to the 49ers.

    The San Francisco defense did a fairly good job shutting down Arizona's passing game, but it couldn't contain Murray's scrambling, as the rookie QB picked up his third rushing score of the year while also throwing multiple TDs for the third straight game. The No. 1 pick in the 2019 draft is putting together a strong first season in the NFL, and he'll get a well-earned break during the Cards' bye before the team hosts the Rams in Week 13.

  • Brandon Allen QB | NYG

    Broncos' Brandon Allen: Takes step back in Sunday's loss

    Allen completed 17 of 39 passes for 240 yards with a touchdown and an interception during Sunday's 27-23 loss in Minnesota.

    The Broncos relied heavily on trickery early Sunday and it paid dividends, with Denver jumping out to an early 17-0 lead courtesy of a couple of big throws by Allen, including a 48-yarder to Courtland Sutton. When archaeologists dust off this game to see what went wrong, however, they'll find back-to-back drives to end the first half in which Allen airmailed a pass to Sutton to settle for a field goal and then was picked on his second try. The big early lead still gave Allen a shot to pull it out at the end, but the young quarterback was unable to connect on back-to-back-to-back attempts to end the game. The shine has already worn off a bit for Allen after just two games, and, while he is almost guaranteed to start against a very good Buffalo defense Sunday, the clock should start on Drew Lock Watch in December, assuming the rookie is activated off of injured reserve after suffering a preseason thumb injury.

  • Jeff Driskel QB | WAS

    Lions' Jeff Driskel: Accounts for three TDs vs. Dallas

    Driskel completed 15 of 26 pass attempts for 209 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Cowboys. He also carried eight times for 51 yards and a touchdown during the 35-27 loss.

    Although Driskel completed just 58 percent of his passes, he still averaged a respectable 8.0 yards per attempt thanks to some big gains. He completed two touchdown passes to Marvin Jones and added another score with his legs in what amounted to a solid performance from a fantasy perspective. Driskel could remain the starter for multiple weeks while Matthew Stafford (back) is on the sidelines, and next Sunday's matchup with the Redskins could present him with more opportunities to produce.

  • Colts' Jacoby Brissett: Tallies rushing score in return

    Brissett completed 15 of 24 pass attempts for 148 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the team's Week 11 win over the Jaguars. He also added two rushes for 12 yards and a touchdown.

    Brissett didn't put up a massive statistical performance, but he capped two key drives in the third quarter by finding the end zone. The first came on the team's initial drive of the second half, when he completed a one-yard pass to Marcus Johnson. On the second drive, he found the end zone on his own with a five-yard rush. Brissett didn't showcase his typical efficiency after missing last week's contest against the Dolphins -- he averaged only 6.2 yards per attempt -- though he should be in for a better matchup in Week 12 against the Texans on Thursday.

  • Josh Allen QB | BUF

    Bills' Josh Allen: Sets career mark in rating

    Allen completed 21 of 33 passes for 256 yards and three touchdowns and added 56 yards and a touchdown on seven runs during Sunday's 37-20 win over Miami.

    After throwing two first-half touchdowns, Allen decided to get in on the action himself midway through the third quarter, scrambling outside and finding the edge for an eight-yard touchdown, his seventh rushing score of the season. Allen enjoyed a career-high 117.7 quarterback rating Sunday and accounted for four touchdowns for just the second time of his career. Perhaps most importantly for Buffalo's hopes of getting to the playoffs, the sophomore quarterback has been more careful with the football, now going five consecutive games without an interception. Prior to the streak, his previous career high was back-to-back games without a pick. Next up is a top-five Denver defense that got bit late by Minnesota in Week 11.

  • Kyle Allen QB | BUF

    Panthers' Kyle Allen: Nightmarish day against Falcons

    Allen completed 31 of 50 pass attempts for 325 yards but was intercepted four times during Sunday's 29-3 loss to the Falcons.

    The 23-year-old signal-caller appeared to be a viable streaming option early on this season, tossing seven touchdown passes, averaging 225 passing yards per game and committing zero interceptions between Weeks 3 and 6. Since that point, however, Allen has struggled mightily with turnovers, losing one fumble and logging nine interceptions to just three touchdown throws. The upcoming Week 12 matchup does not provide much reason for optimism, as the opposing Saints are coming off a four-interception performance against the Jameis Winston-led Buccaneers.

  • Dak Prescott QB | DAL

    Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Continues stellar play vs. Lions

    Prescott completed 29 of 46 pass attempts for 444 yards and three touchdowns Sunday against the Lions. He also carried six times for 18 yards in the 35-27 win.

    Prescott averaged an impressive 9.7 yards per attempt as he eclipsed the 400-yard mark for the second time this season. He completed touchdown passes to Tony Pollard, Randall Cobb and Ezekiel Elliott while boosting his TD:INT to 9:2 over the last three games. Prescott is playing at an elite level, and although next Sunday's matchup with the Patriots will present some unique challenges, he's still worthy of fantasy consideration as the orchestrator of one of the NFL's best offenses.
