  • Tom Savage QB | DET

    Texans' Tom Savage: Overwhelmed by Rams

    Savage completed 18 of 36 passes for 221 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 33-7 loss to the Rams.

    Savage also lost a pair of fumbles and was lucky to finish with only two interceptions. He had a pick-six wiped out by a defensive holding penalty, and the Rams dropped two or three potential interceptions. With Savage turning in back-to-back hideous outings despite getting plenty of help from DeAndre Hopkins, the Texans may consider switching to T.J. Yates (or perhaps even Josh Johnson) for Week 11 against the Cardinals.

  • Tyrod Taylor QB | GB

    Bills' Tyrod Taylor: Stifled in drubbing by Saints

    Taylor completed nine of 18 pass attempts for 56 yards and an interception Sunday against the Saints. He also gained 27 yards on three carries in the 47-10 loss.

    Taylor endured perhaps the roughest outing of his career in this one, managing a miserable 3.1 yards per attempt while posting the lowest yardage total of his career as a starter. He finished as the team's second-leading rusher on the day, but even that wasn't enough to amount to anything noteworthy from a fantasy perspective. Taylor came into Sunday on the back of three consecutive productive outings and will look to bounce back next week against the Chargers.

  • Jared Goff QB | DET

    Rams' Jared Goff: Throws for 355 and three scores

    Goff completed 25 of 37 passes for 355 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 33-7 win over the Texans.

    Goff didn't do anything special in the first half, but he connected with a wide-open Robert Woods for a 94-yard score early in the third quarter, then added two touchdowns (including another to Woods) before the end of the frame. When all was said and done, Goff and Woods both had huge stat lines for a second straight week, having fully taken advantage of a pair of favorable matchups. Week 11 brings a real test in the form of a trip to Minnesota, though the Vikings defense was less than spectacular against Kirk Cousins and the Redskins on Sunday. Following the pair of huge performances, Goff suddenly finds himself on pace for 4,240 passing yards and 28.4 passing touchdowns while leading the league in yards per attempt (8.5).

  • Mitch Trubisky QB | TEN

    Bears' Mitchell Trubisky: Throws for 297 yards

    Trubisky completed 21 of 35 passes for 297 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 23-16 loss to Green Bay.

    Trubisky briefly closed the gap for Chicago early in the fourth quarter with a 46-yard touchdown strike to Josh Bellamy, snapping a two-game scoreless streak for the rookie passer. Sunday's outing almost doubled Trubisky's previous season high in yardage of 164. In fairness to Trubisky, he's playing in what was to be a redshirt season with a receiving corps decimated by the offseason departure of Alshon Jeffery and season-ending injuries to the likes of Kevin White, Cameron Meredith and Zach Miller. Hope for the rest of the season might be found in Trubisky's work with trade acquisition Dontrelle Inman, who snagged six passes for 88 yards in his first game as a Bear.

  • Kirk Cousins QB | LV

    Redskins' Kirk Cousins: Scores with his legs

    Cousins completed 26 of 45 passes for 327 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 38-30 loss to the Vikings. He added five yards and two touchdowns on four carries.

    Cousins was held to one or fewer passing touchdowns for the fifth time in nine games in 2017 but scored his second and third rushing touchdowns of the season, bringing his total to 12 since taking over as Washington's starter in 2015. Cousins is putting together another nice statistical season, but he's been a little uneven while working with a receiving corps featuring some new faces. He connected on 10 of his 14 touchdown passes for the season during a four-game stretch from Weeks 3 through 7, putting together a quarterback rating of 119.7. During the five games on either side of that stretch, he's completed just four touchdown passes with a more pedestrian 83.5 QB rating. Cousins takes on a red-hot Saints squad next week.

  • Marcus Mariota QB | WAS

    Titans' Marcus Mariota: Leads last-minute touchdown drive in Week 10 win

    Mariota completed 25 of 44 passes for 264 yards with a touchdown and an interception while adding 51 yards on six carries in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Bengals.

    While DeMarco Murray finished off the team's first drive with a two-yard touchdown run, Mariota set the whole thing up with a 28-yard run of his own and a pair of 20-yard completions. The quarterback also set up a first-half Cincinnati touchdown, however, throwing an interception deep in his own territory. Mariota made amends when it mattered most, capping a 12-play, 73-yard drive with a seven-yard touchdown pass to Murray with 36 seconds left after the Bengals took their first lead with 5:03 to play. He's taken a major step back with a 7:6 touchdown-to-interception ratio in eight appearances after posting a 26:9 mark last year.

  • Andy Dalton QB | PHI

    Bengals' Andy Dalton: Two touchdowns, two fumbles in loss

    Dalton completed 20 of 35 passes for 265 yards and two touchdowns while losing two fumbles in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Titans.

    Dalton connected with Brandon LaFell for a 37-yard score in the first quarter and added a 70-yard touchdown to A.J. Green in the fourth. The latter touchdown gave Cincinnati a 20-17 lead with 5:03 to play, but Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota was able to orchestrate a late touchdown drive of his own to win the game for the hosts. Dalton's two first-half fumbles were both costly, as the first one led to a Tennessee touchdown and the second came on 1st-and-goal from the nine-yard line.

  • Case Keenum QB | CHI

    Vikings' Case Keenum: Tosses four scores

    Keenum completed 21 of 29 passes for 304 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 38-30 win over Washington.

    Washington has given plenty of top-shelf quarterbacks trouble this season, including Russell Wilson and Derek Carr. During parts of Sunday, however, Keenum -- Minnesota's starter only because of the bad knees of Sam Bradford and Teddy Bridgewater -- looked like Joe Montana with four touchdown passes in the first 33 minutes of the game. He has now thrown multiple touchdowns in back-to-back games after just one such performance in his first six outings of the year. He cooled off in the second half and threw a pair of late interceptions to help Washington claw back into the game, but Keenum is looking good in Pat Shurmur's horizontal offense, particularly on the move, from which he tossed three of his scores. The activation of Bridgewater will draw headlines, but how itchy can Minnesota's trigger finger be when Keenum has led the team to five straight victories?

  • Colts' Jacoby Brissett: In concussion protocol

    Brissett is in the NFL's concussion protocol after developing symptoms following Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Steelers, Stephen Holder of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Per the report, the QB was checked out twice during the course of Sunday's game, but he was deemed able to carry on. In the process, Brissett completed 14 of 24 passes for 222 yards with two TDs and a pick to go along with four carries for seven yards. Brissett will now have added time to recover from his concussion symptoms, considering the Colts are on bye in Week 11.

  • Lions' Matthew Stafford: Three second-half touchdowns in comeback win

    Stafford completed 17 of 26 passes for 249 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while adding 17 yards on four carries in Sunday's 38-24 win over Cleveland.

    Stafford got some help from his teammates early on, as Detroit's two first-half touchdowns came on a running play and a fumble recovery. The league's highest-paid quarterback earned his money late, however, turning a 24-17 deficit into a 38-24 win with three touchdown passes in the final 16 minutes. Those scores of eight, 29 and 40 yards raised Stafford's TD:INT ratio to 17:5 on the season.
