Tannehill (ankle) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs.

With Tannehill still sidelined, rookie Malik Willis is slated to make his second consecutive start Sunday, while Logan Woodside is set to serve as Tennessee's No. 2 QB. Tannehill will now target a potential return to action in Week 10, when the Titans host the Broncos.

Burrow completed 22 of 28 passes or 206 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 42-21 win over the Panthers. He added four rushes for nine yards and an additional score.

Burrow had a strong bounceback performance following a disappointing primetime effort in Week 8. His day was highlighted by a one-yard rushing touchdown early in the second quarter and a 12-yard scoring pass to Joe Mixon. Burrow missed out on a bigger day as Mixon accounted for five of Cincinnati's six touchdowns and because the Bengals were able to coast to a victory after jumping out to a 35-0 lead before halftime. Nevertheless, Burrow has at least two total touchdowns in all but one game this season, giving him a very safe floor.

Heinicke completed 15 of 28 passes for 149 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Commanders' 20-17 loss to the Vikings on Sunday. He also rushed four times for 17 yards.

Heinicke had a positive impact with touchdown tosses of of 49 and six yards to Curtis Samuel and Dax Milne, respectively, but his fourth-quarter interception could hardly have been more ill-timed. With the Commanders up by seven, Heinicke overthrew Logan Thomas by an appreciable margin midway through the final period, resulting in a Harrison Smith interception that set up a game-tying 12-yard receiving touchdown by Dalvin Cook two plays later. Heinicke does have five touchdown tosses in his first three starts while throwing a pick in each game, and he'll aim to boost his numbers in a tough Week 10 road matchup against the Eagles on Monday night, Nov. 14.

Cousins completed 22 of 40 passes for 265 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Vikings' 20-17 win over the Commanders on Sunday. He also netted minus-2 yards on two rush attempts.

Cousins put together his fourth 250-yard-plus tally in the last six games while helping snap his old squad's three-game winning streak in his first game back in the nation's capital. The veteran signal-caller did get the wind knocked out of him following a 47-yard completion to Justin Jefferson early in the fourth quarter, per Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, but he ultimately missed just one play. Cousins now has a 5:0 TD:INT in his last three games going into an unenviable Week 10 road matchup against the Bills.

Herbert completed 30 of 43 passes for 245 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 20-17 win over Atlanta. He added three yards on one rushing attempt.

Working without top two wide receivers Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle), Herbert was held to a paltry 5.7 yards per pass attempt by a Falcons secondary that came in having allowed the most passing yards in the league. The Chargers got off to a slow start as usual, becoming the third team in NFL history to trail by at least 10 points after the first quarter of four consecutive games, but they climbed out of that hole by halftime, as Herbert's one-yard touchdown pass to Austin Ekeler put Los Angeles up 14-10. After Atlanta took advantage of a Herbert interception to retake the lead 17-14 in the third quarter, he led a pair of scoring drives in the fourth, with Cameron Dicker's 37-yard field goal on te latter propelling the Chargers to a 20-17 victory as time expired. Expectations should be tempered for Herbert in Week 10 against the robust 49ers secondary, especially if the Chargers remain without Allen and Williams.

Fields completed 17 of 28 passes for 123 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions while adding 178 rushing yards and another score on 15 carries in the Bears' 35-32 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also threw a two-point conversion pass.

Fields once again demonstrated why he's arguably the most explosive player at the quarterback position this side of Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen, almost single-handedly outpacing the high-octane Dolphins offense. Fields was reasonably effective once again as a passer while primarily working a short-area attack, and he tossed touchdowns of 18 and four yards to Cole Kmet, along with a beauty of a 16-yard scoring strike in the back left corner of the end zone to Darnell Mooney over Xavien Howard. However, Fields made even more of an impact on the ground with what was easily a team-leading and career-high yardage total, and his 61-yard touchdown scamper early in the second half served as a fitting example of his elite speed. Fields' first opportunity to build on Sunday's prolific performance comes in an appealing divisional matchup at Soldier Field against the Lions.

Allen completed 18 of 34 passes for 205 yards and two interceptions in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Jets. He added nine rushing attempts for 86 yards and two touchdowns while committing two fumbles but losing neither.

Allen promptly moved the Bills into scoring range with a 42-yard completion to Stefon Diggs on his first pass of the afternoon, but he was intercepted two plays later. He nearly turned the ball over in the red zone again on the next drive but recovered his own fumble and ended up capping that possession with a one-yard rushing touchdown. Allen added another rushing touchdown in the second quarter, this time rumbling in from 36 yards out. Another Allen interception in the third quarter set up New York's go-ahead touchdown, and after Buffalo tied it at 17-17 early in the fourth, New York made a field goal with 1:43 remaining to cap the scoring. On Buffalo's futile final drive, Allen was seen holding his right elbow, but he told Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic afterward that "there was some slight pain, but I'll get through it." Allen doesn't sound worried about the injury, but his practice participation will still be worth monitoring ahead of Buffalo's Week 10 matchup with the Vikings.

Rodgers completed 23 of 43 pass attempts for 291 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions in Sunday's 15-9 loss to the Lions. He added 40 rushing yards on four attempts.

Rodgers should be pointing the finger at himself after nearly doubling his interception total for the season in a loss to a divisional opponent. The former MVP set new single-game highs in passing yards (291) and rushing yards (40), so he actually turned in one of the better fantasy performances of a disappointing 2022 campaign. Rodgers' lack of receiving help has been a highlighted issue for Green Bay this season, and he may end up even more short-handed after starting wideout Romeo Doubs (ankle) and star running back Aaron Jones (ankle) both left Sunday's contest without returning. Both players' availabilities should affect Rodgers' projections heading into an already difficult matchup against Micah Parsons and the Cowboys defense next Sunday.

Tagovailoa completed 21 of 30 passes for 302 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Dolphins' 35-32 win over the Bears on Sunday. He also netted no gain on five rushes and fumbled once but recovered.

Tagovailoa authored his third 300-yard effort of the season, albeit barely, including his second straight such tally. The third-year signal-caller connected with Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and new arrival Jeff Wilson from three, 18 and 10 yards out, respectively, for his three scoring tosses, and he distributed the ball effectively while hitting six different targets overall. Tagovailoa will take a three-game interception-less streak into a Week 10 home matchup against a beatable Browns secondary.

Tannehill (ankle) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs and is being treated as a game-time decision, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relays the Titans don't have a lot of optimism about the quarterback suiting up for the contest.

After missing the Titans' Week 8 win over the Texans with a right ankle sprain, Tannehill was what Rapoport described as a "very, very limited" participant in practice this week. While Tannehill made the trip to Kansas City and is said to be doing everything in his power to play, early indications are that the signal-caller will be sidelined for a second straight game. Rookie Malik Willis, who started last week and took most of the first-team work in practice this week, thus looks to be trending toward another start, with Logan Woodside slated to serve as Willis' backup in that scenario. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Titans are looking to closely guard their quarterback plans until pregame warmups, so clarity on the status of Tannehill may not arrive until the team releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.
