Herbert completed 27 of his 40 pass attempts for 323 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 41-38 loss to the Lions. He also threw an interception and ran for 15 yards on four carries.

In a battle of two heavyweight offenses, Herbert simply ran out of possessions to try and answer as both teams traded major touchdowns all game long. The Pro Bowl quarterback keyed in specifically on Keenan Allen, who caught 11 of his 14 targets for 175 yards and two scores, but a dropped pass in single coverage by Quentin Johnston in the third quarter could have resulted in an even bigger afternoon. Herbert might not be on pace for his career-setting figures of 2021, but he's clearly one of the best fantasy quarterbacks in the league when the Chargers are forced to keep their foot on the gas. Herbert should have plenty of time to pile on production in the second half of the season, beginning with a Week 11 matchup against the Packers.

Heinicke (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's game at Arizona, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

Prior to his departure in the fourth quarter, Heinicke had completed eight of 15 passes for 55 yards and one touchdown while rushing four times for 34 yards. Desmond Ridder took over under center for Heinicke. With a Week 11 bye on tap, the Falcons don't play again until Sunday, Nov. 26 against the Saints.

Heinicke (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Desmond Ridder is in at quarterback for Atlanta with Heinicke hobbled by a second-half hamstring injury. Prior to getting hurt, Heinicke completed eight of 15 passes for 55 yards and a touchdown while rushing four times for 34 yards.

Carr (shoulder/concussion) is hoping to return in Week 12 against the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Carr will likely have to clear the NFL's concussion protocol in addition to recovering from a shoulder injury in order to return to the field, but he's hoping New Orleans' well-timed Week 11 bye will provide enough recovery time for the quarterback to avoid missing further game action. He was replaced by Jameis Winston after exiting Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Vikings. Following the loss, coach Dennis Allen said Carr will remain the team's starting quarterback once healthy, per Rod Walker of The Times-Picayune.

Jackson completed 13 of 23 passes for 223 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Browns. He added eight rushes for 41 yards.

The Ravens played with a lead throughout the game, allowing them to rely heavily on their rushing attack. As a result, volume was once again limited for Jackson; however, unlike in past games, he also mixed in some key mistakes. The most glaring was an interception midway through the fourth quarter when he threw a pick that was deflected at the line of scrimmage and returned for a touchdown. Jackson now has failed to tally multiple touchdowns in five of his last six games.

Levis completed 19 of 39 passes for 199 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in the Titans' 20-6 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Levis struggled with his accuracy and averaged a modest 5.1 yards per attempt while also taking four sacks. The rookie did impressively connect with eight different targets, but after a four-touchdown breakout against the Falcons in Week 8, Levis has now gone without a scoring toss in back-to-back weeks. He's also completed only 52.6 percent of his passes in that span heading into a Week 11 road matchup against the Jaguars that could yield more success given Jacksonville's ongoing struggles against the pass.

Watson (ankle) completed 20 of 34 passes for 213 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 33-31 win over the Ravens. He added eight rushes for 37 yards.

Watson had only 79 yards on 20 attempts in the first half, but he led a comeback effort in the final quarter to earn the win and turn around his stat line. His lone touchdown came on a 10-yard throw while on the run to Elijah Moore, though he also connected on several longer throws to Amari Cooper and David Njoku. Watson hasn't delivered the fantasy performance expected of him this season, though his effort Sunday came against one of the better defenses in the league. To make things more difficult, Watson hurt his ankle late in the second quarter and was spotted with a boot after the game, per Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram.

Lawrence completed 17 of 29 passes for 185 yards and two interceptions in Sunday's 34-3 loss to the 49ers. He also rushed twice for seven yards and lost a fumble.

Lawrence was under duress throughout against a San Francisco defensive line that sacked him five times. Still, the quarterback shoulders a substantial portion of the blame for the blowout loss, as the Jaguars scored a season-low three points and two of Lawrence's three turnovers came in 49ers territory. Lawrence will have a nice opportunity to bounce back in Week 11 against the Titans, but his 9:6 TD:INT through nine games is disappointing.

Mayfield completed 18 of 29 passes for 278 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Buccaneers' 20-6 win over the Titans on Sunday. He also rushed three times for 12 yards and committed a fumble recovered by Tampa Bay.

Mayfield averaged a robust 9.6 yards per attempt and worked around some sacks to deliver another solid fantasy effort. The 2018 first overall pick found Mike Evans and Rachaad White for his two scoring tosses, extending his multi-touchdown streak to three games in the process. Mayfield also exceeded the 270-yard mark for the third time on the campaign, and although he continues to operate with a relatively narrow target pool, he's been a very good fit for coordinator Dave Canales' offense thus far. Mayfield's next assignment will be a stiff test, however, as the Buccaneers travel west to tangle with the 49ers in a Week 11 showdown.

Burrow completed 27 of 40 passes for 347 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions and added five carries for 20 yards in the Bengals' 30-27 loss to the Texans on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Cincinnati.

Burrow finished the afternoon with a perfectly acceptable fantasy stat line, but his pair of fourth-quarter interceptions were particularly detrimental despite neither directly leading to Texans points. His first pick came at Houston's 11-yard line, while the second transpired in the end zone and short-circuited what had been an encouraging seven-play, 78-yard drive. Burrow's highlights did include a picturesque 64-yard touchdown strike to Ja'Marr Chase, which was preceded by a 32-yard scoring toss to Trenton Irwin to cap off Cincinnati's opening possession. Burrow may not have Tee Higgins (hamstring) back for a critical Week 11 divisional road clash against the Ravens on Thursday night, but he'll head into the contest with two- and five-game streaks of 300-yard tallies and multi-touchdown efforts, respectively.
