Maye completed 21 of 38 passes for 299 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions while adding one rush for three yards in the Patriots' 45-27 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Maye was constantly harassed by an aggressive Packers defense that sacked him four times for 27 total yards in losses while also constantly getting hands on his throws. Working with a receiving corps that welcomed back Mack Hollins (calf) from injured reserve but was still down A.J. Brown (knee) and Romeo Doubs (IR, shoulder), Maye threw his first interception on the second play of the game on a deep pass intended for Hollins, and his other two picks came during the second quarter. Two of the three INTs led to Green Bay touchdowns, and after throwing just eight interceptions over 17 regular-season games in 2025, Maye is up to 11 over nine contests this season following Sunday's game. The third-year signal-caller's first chance to atone comes in a Week 10 matchup against a seemingly improving Lions defense in Munich, Germany next Sunday.

Uiagalelei completed two of seven passes for 27 yards and a touchdown after replacing Justin Herbert (finger) in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Texans, and head coach Jim Harbaugh said after the game that Herbert could have a fractured finger, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

Uiagalelei was inaccurate in his first taste of regular-season NFL action but threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Derius Davis. If Herbert isn't available to face the Ravens on MNF in Week 10 and Trey Lance (groin) isn't ready to return from injured reserve, Uiagalelei would presumably be tabbed for the first regular-season start of the latter's career.

Love completed 23 of 29 passes for 372 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed once for a 13-yard score in the Packers' 45-27 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

Love continued to attack downfield with great efficacy in what was a significant road upset for the Packers. Love averaged 12.8 yards per attempt while amassing his second-highest passing yardage total of the season, a figure bested only by the 387-yard tally he managed in Week 1. Love generated his second straight three-touchdown day through the air as well, connecting with Matthew Golden (five yards), Savion Williams (10 yards) and Christian Watson (39 yards) for his trio of scoring strikes and kicking off the scoring on the day with a 13-yard rush just 1:41 into the contest. Love is up to 2,618 passing yards with a 19:6 TD:INT and a pair of rushing scores heading into a Week 10 home divisional clash against the Vikings next Sunday.

Cousins completed 22 of 32 passes for 216 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in Sunday's 38-17 loss to the 49ers. He also rushed twice for no gain and scored a rushing touchdown.

Cousins made numerous costly mistakes as the Raiders tried in vain to catch up after falling in an early 14-0 hole. He threw a pick-six on the first play of the second half and capped both of Vegas' fourth-quarter possessions with end-zone interceptions. The 38-year-old Cousins has staved off calls for rookie first overall pick Fernando Mendoza to take over the starting role by producing 21 total TDs through nine starts, including a two-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter and 21-yard touchdown pass to Brock Bowers in the third quarter Sunday. The Raiders have gone 1-5 after a 3-0 start, and the calls for Mendoza could grow louder if Vegas' struggles persist in Week 10 against the Seahawks.

Purdy completed 17 of 25 passes for 232 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 38-17 win over the Raiders. He added seven rushing attempts for 40 yards and a touchdown.

Purdy gave the 49ers a 14-0 lead with a one-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter, then added a 12-yard touchdown pass to Christian McCaffrey in the second quarter and a 37-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Watkins in the third. Unfazed by the numerous injuries to San Francisco's wide receivers, Purdy has a 17:5 TD:INT through the air to go with a pair of rushing scores heading into a Week 10 road matchup against the Cowboys. Having led the 49ers to a 7-1 record, the fourth-place finisher in the 2023 MVP race is making a strong case for the award again at the halfway point of the 2026 campaign.

Mahomes (elbow) underwent an MRI after Sunday's 35-12 win over the Jets, and the tests did not reveal a major injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Mahomes returned to Sunday's win after hurting his elbow late in the first half, and the initial MRI result offers some early optimism regarding the star quarterback's status for Week 10 against the Falcons. His participation level in practice will bear monitoring over the coming days, but all signs point to Mahomes having avoided a significant injury.

Stroud completed 21 of 35 passes for 384 yards, five touchdowns and one interception and recorded two carries for 20 yards during Sunday's 44-22 win at the Chargers.

Stroud matched a career high with his five TD strikes, which went to Xavier Hutchinson (17 yards), Tank Dell (63), Kayshon Boutte (12 and 63) and Nico Collins (13). Moreover, Stroud's 384 passing yards matched the second most in a game in his career. He's now thrown for multiple touchdowns in four of the last five games, a stretch in which he's accounted for a remarkable 1,457 yards through the air and a 13:2 TD:INT. Stroud will attempt to keep things rolling next Sunday, when the Texans visit the Browns.

Herbert sustained a left middle finger injury in Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Texans, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

Coach Jim Harbaugh said after the latest loss that Herbert "could" have a fracture. The quarterback was pulled from the game with the score out of hand in the fourth quarter, but Herbert apparently lobbied to stay in the contest. He'll have an extra day to heal up ahead of next Monday night's date with the Ravens. Herbert has been well off the fantasy radar for much of the season in this broken Los Angeles offense. If he can't face Baltimore, DJ Uiagalelei would likely get the nod under center. He completed a pitiful two of seven passes for 24 yards and a touchdown in relief of Herbert on Sunday.

Shough completed 21 of 35 passes for 265 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-22 overtime win over the Browns.

New Orleans got by with three Charlie Smyth field goals and an Audric Estime two-yard TD run in regulation, but Shough connected with Juwan Johnson for a 15-yard touchdown in OT that held up as the winning score when the Browns scored on the subsequent possession but failed on a two-point attempt -- the same way the Saints lost to the Lions in their season opener. Shough will take a 14:6 TD:INT through eight games into a Week 10 clash with the Panthers.

Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said after Sunday's 17-3 win over the Cardinals that Lock sustained an oblique injury during the game, leaving Lock's availability for Week 10 against the Raiders up in the air, Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times reports.

Lock finished the win over Arizona, completing 19 of 28 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown while adding five rushing attempts for 16 yards. His lone touchdown pass was a seven-yard connection to AJ Barner with 15 seconds left in the first half. Sam Darnold (quadriceps) sat out Sunday's win and may not be ready to return against the Raiders. If both Lock and Darnold sit out, 2025 third-round pick Jalen Milroe would make his first regular-season start.
