Browns wide receiver Terrelle Pryor took two snaps before veteran Charlie Whitehurst replaced him, becoming the fifth quarterback to play for Cleveland in five games. Whitehurst limped off the field with 3:57 left.
Colts – Andrew Luck threw a 35-yard TD pass to T.Y. Hilton with 3:43 left Sunday to lead the Indianapolis Colts past the Chicago Bears 29-23.
Titans – Marcus Mariota threw for three touchdowns and ran for another score Mariota bounced back with a strong game after totaling three interceptions and no TD passes in losses the past two weeks. He went 20 for 29 for 163 yards with no interceptions, and ran seven times for 60 yards
Dolphins – Ryan Tannehill and the Dolphins offense turned in another woeful performance By the second quarter, the crowd was booing Tannehill. By the fourth quarter, fans were chanting for his replacement, Matt Moore, who hasn’t started a game since 2011. Tannehill completed just 12 of 18 passes for 191 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday’s loss to the Titan
Texans – Brock Osweiler was overmatched by Minnesota’s relentless rush and coverage, finishing 19 for 42 for 184 yards, one interception and a late touchdown pass while taking four sacks
Raiders – Derek Carr threw a go-ahead 21-yard touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree on a fourth-and-2 gamble and added another TD pass to Amari Cooper to lead the Oakland Raiders to a 34-31 victory over the mistake-prone San Diego Chargers. Carr completed 25 of 40 passes for 317 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday’s 34-31 win over the Chargers.
Cowboys – Dak Prescott had his first turnover in five games starting in place of injured Tony Romo, a fumble when being sacked late in the third quarter. But Prescott extended his NFL rookie record to 155 passes without an interception to start his career. He completed 18 of 24 passes for 227 yards.
Packers – Aaron Rodgers completed 23 of 45 passes for 259 yards, with two touchdowns, two interceptions and 17 rushing yards in Sunday’s 23-16 win over the Giants. He was unusually out of sync with top receiver Jordy Nelson, who caught just four passes for 38 yards and a touchdown on a team-high 13 targets.
Redskins – Kirk Cousins completed 29 of 41 pass attempts for 260 yards, a touchdown and an interception during Sunday’s 16-10 win over the Ravens. Cousins’ only touchdown pass of the day came on a 21-yard connection with Pierre Garcon as part of a 10-point third quarter that ultimately decided the game. He was unable to throw for multiple scores for the first time since Week 3,
Broncos – Paxton Lynch completed 23 of 35 passes for 223 yards, one touchdown and a pick. He rushed for 18 yards, but fumbled twice, both recovered by the offense.
Chargers – Philip Rivers completed 21 of 30 passes for 359 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday’s 34-31 loss at Oakland.
Rams – Case Keenum completed 21 of 31 passes for 271 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday’s 30-19 loss to the Bills
Bills – Tyrod Taylor had a pedestrian day during Sunday’s win in Los Angeles, passing for just 124 yards on 12-of-23 passing, though he did toss two TD passes while adding 28 yards on the ground. Somehow he’s thrown for less than 125 yards in three of the team’s five games. Even more surprisingly, the Bills have won two of those three games and are 8-1 over the last two seasons whenever Taylor throws for under 200 yards.
Falcons – Matt Ryan completed 15 of 28 for 267 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s win over Denver. The result was that 180 of Ryan’s passing yards went to backs. That kind of flexibility and depth within the offense makes Ryan a threat on a weekly basis
Bengals – Andy Dalton completed 29 of 41 passes for 269 yards with a pair of touchdowns in Sunday’s 28-14 loss at Dallas. He also had six rushes for 34 yards.
Ravens –Joe Flacco completed 30 of 46 passes for 210 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s 16-10 loss to Washington. Baltimore passing attack struggling mightily after Steve Smith (ankle) left for good in the first quarter. The Ravens didn’t have a pass play longer than 15 yards all game
Eagles – Carson Wentz completed 25 of 33 passes for 238 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday’s 24-23 loss to the Lions. He added 14 yards on a pair of carries.

Redskins – Matt Jones ran for 31 yards on 14 carries and lost a fumble for the first time this season.
Ravens – Terrance West peeled off a 35-yard run on the opening possession, Baltimore’s longest of the season. He finished with 95 yards on 11 carries.
Browns – Isaiah Crowell picked up just 22 on 13 attempts, a far cry from 6.4-yard average in Cleveland’s first four games.
The Eagles (3-1) turned the ball over for the first time this season with 2:34 remaining when Ryan Matthews fumbled on a hit by Darius Slay
Bills – LeSean McCoy had his 28th 100-yard game and second this season. The Bills finished with 193 yards rushing.
Bears – Jordan Howard ran 16 times for 118 yards and caught three passes for 45 yards and a score in his second straight start. Since Jeremy Langford, the starter went down with an ankle injury in Week 3, Howard has posted back-to-back 100-yard games.
Titans – DeMarco Murray rushed for 121 yards on 27 carries, and caught five of six targets for 16 yards in Sunday’s 30-17 win over the Dolphins. Murray continues to impress with a 5.0 yards per carry average in his first year with the Titans.
Texans – Lamar Miller only had eight carries for 20 yards during a dud of a performance by the Texans
Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell racked up 154 yards of total offense, including a career-high nine receptions
Rams – Todd Gurley scored the Rams’ first touchdown at home since returning to Los Angeles on a 1-yard run late in the first half. Gurley had 72 yards rushing
Cowboys – Ezekiel Elliott became the first Cowboys rookie with three consecutive 100-yard rushing games. Elliott ran for 134 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries
Falcons – Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman were so effective running the ball, combining for 119 yards and a 4.4-yard average. Coleman, who played despite having sickle cell trait, which can sometimes be exacerbated at altitude, showed off his breakaway speed by catching four passes for 132 yards to go with his 31 yards on six carries.
Bengals – Jeremy Hill, who worked through practice last week with a chest injury, re-injured himself in the third quarter of Sunday’s loss to Dallas and did not return
Giants – Orleans Darkwa started in place of Rashad Jennings (thumb), but with the Giants playing from behind while struggling to maintain possession Darkwa had seven carries for 11 yards in Sunday’s 23-16 loss to the Packers.
Packers – Eddie Lacy left Sunday’s game against the Giants in the third quarter with an ankle injury
Broncos – C.J. Anderson rushed for 41 yards on 11 carries and added 21 yards on three catches in Sunday’s loss to Atlanta. Anderson was held under four yards per carry for the fourth straight game.
Raiders – DeAndre Washington had nine carries for 23 yards and caught five of six targets for 29 yards in Sunday’s 34-31 win over the Chargers. With Latavius Murray (toe) inactive, the rookie RB failed to take advantage, especially as a rusher. Meanwhile, fellow rookie Jalen Richard had a little more success Sunday, rushing eight times for 31 yards and catching six of seven targets for 66 yards.
Chargers – Melvin Gordon carried the ball 16 times for 69 yards in Sunday’s 34-31 loss to the Raiders. He also caught his lone target for an 18-yard touchdown. He continues to reach the end zone with regularity, scoring seven times in five games
Jets – Matt Forte rushed 12 times for 53 yards and caught both of his targets for seven receiving yards Sunday against the Steelers. The Jets continue to prefer using Bilal Powell over Forte in passing situations, as the former caught six of eight targets for 41 receiving yards Sunday. However, Forte’s role as the lead back on rushing plays is intact
Bengals – Giovani Bernard had nine carries for a season-high 50 yards and caught all six of his targets for 46 yards in Sunday’s 28-14 loss at Dallas. Bernard has done very little as a rusher this season, but he’s among the league leaders at his position with 25 receptions
Vikings – Jerick McKinnon rushed for 36 yards on 20 carries, and caught one of three targets for 10 more in Sunday’s 31-13 win over Houston. He had a 1-yard touchdown vultured by Matt Asiata. This annoying usage pattern is likely to persist
Patriots – LeGarrett Blount rushed for 37 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries in Sunday’s win over Cleveland
49ers – Jeremy Kerley, acquired two weeks before the start of the season in a trade with Detroit, has quickly established himself as Gabbert’s most trusted receiver. After nine straight punts to open the game, Gabbert completed four passes for 63 yards on one drive in the second quarter, capped by a 9-yard TD pass to Kerley .
Ravens played most of the game without receiver Steve Smith, who sprained an ankle late in the first quarter and did not return.
Vikings – Adam Thielen with leading receiver Stefon Diggs out for the game with a groin injury, caught a touchdown pass to cap Minnesota’s opening drive and finished with a career-high 127 yards,
Texans – Will Fuller wasn’t targeted until the first play of the second half and had only one catch
Texans – DeAndre Hopkins was held without a catch in the decisive first half.
Packers – Randall Cobb was the Packers’ most consistent receiver with nine catches for 108 yards. Cobb still has just 29 targets in four games, compared to Jordy Nelson‘s 40.
Rams – Tavon Austin had seven receptions for 59 yards and added 26 yards rushing on three carries
Steelers – Sammie Coates caught six passes for a career-high 139 yards and two scores
Packers – Jordy Nelson caught four passes for 38 yards and a touchdown on a team-high 13 targets in Sunday’s 23-16 win over the Giants.
Giants – Odell Beckham caught five passes for 56 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets in Sunday’s 23-16 loss to the Packers
Redskins – Pierre Garcon caught five of seven targets for a team-leading 56 yards and a touchdown during Sunday’s 16-10 win over the Ravens. Garcon has been an underwhelming fantasy option this season, as the 56-yard effort was actually his second-highest output, and the seven targets tied a season-high
Broncos – Demaryius Thomas (hip) caught five of seven targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s loss to Atlanta. Thomas, through five games, trails Emmanuel Sanders in targets 51 to 34 and catches 32 to 26
Broncos – Emmanuel Sanders reeled in seven of nine targets for 80 yards and fumbled during Sunday’s loss to Atlanta. Rookie Paxton Lynch looked to Sanders early and often, particularly on intermediate routes.
That’s been a trend early this season for both Lynch and Trevor Siemian, as Sanders’ 51 targets are 17 more than any other Bronco. He’s averaged eight catches per game in the last three weeks
Steelers – Markus Wheaton can be dropped as the emergence of Sammie Coates drops Wheaton to third on the receiver depth chart, further hurting his fantasy value. There’s no reason to roster him except in very deep leagues.
Raiders – Michael Crabtree caught just three of seven targets for 47 yards in Sunday’s 34-31 win over the Chargers, but scored another touchdown. Crabtree looked out of sync early, dropping a couple of passes, but came up with a 21-yard score late in the third quarter to give the Raiders the lead for good. Crabtree has outplayed teammate Amari Cooper so far this season, but Cooper went off Sunday for 138 yards and a touchdown of his own. Derek Carr seems to favor Crabtree in the red zone,
Raiders – Amari Cooper caught six of 12 targets for 138 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s 34-31 win over San Diego. Cooper has not typically been featured in the red zone (zero targets inside the 10-yard line in 2015).
Chargers –Tyrell Williams caught five of six targets for a career-high 117 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s 34-31 loss at Oakland. He’s been getting plenty of work in general, with 29 targets over the last four games. On a negative note, the Chargers haven’t been taking many shots to him down the field,until the 50 yard bomb Sunday
Titans – Rishard Matthews caught all four of his targets for 32 yards and a touchdown Sunday in Miami. He has outproduced fellow starting wide receiver Tajae Sharpe in three of the last four weeks, but still trails tight end Delanie Walker for quarterback Marcus Mariota’s attention.
Titans – Tajae Sharpe hauled in two passes for 17 yards on four targets in Sunday’s 30-17 win over the Dolphins. Both of Sharpe’s receptions came with the Titans running the two-minute drill to end the first half.
Falcons – Julio Jones was limited to 29 yards, catching two of six targets in Sunday’s win over Denver. Sunday further proved that Atlanta’s offense remains dangerous without a big game from Jones
Dolphins – Jarvis Landry caught all three of his targets for 28 yards, and added a two-yard carry in Sunday’s 30-17 loss to Tennessee. Landry was held below seven catches for the first time this season by an underrated Titans defense that limited top Texans wideout DeAndre Hopkins to just four yards last week. He has trended down over the past two weeks with quarterback Ryan Tannehill in a funk
Jets – Brandon Marshall had eight catches on a team-high 15 targets for 114 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Steelers . Marshall finished with as many targets as the next two players (Quincy Enunwa and Bilal Powell) combined. It was his second consecutive game with a touchdown
Bengals – A.J. Green had just one catch at halftime Green caught four of seven targets for just 50 yards in Sunday’s 28-14 loss at Dallas.
Cowboys – Terrance Williams caught all five of his targets for 70 yards in Sunday’s 28-14 win over the Bengals. Bryant returns
Eagles – Jordan Matthews caught all four targets and led the team with 65 yards in Sunday’s 24-23 loss to the Lions.
DeAndre Hopkins caught five of his nine targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s loss to the Vikings. He was also working against shutdown corner Xavier Rhodes, who just held Giants No. 1 receiver Odell Beckham to a career-low 23 yards last week.
Bears – Alshon Jeffery (knee) caught five of six targets for 77 yards Sunday against the Colts.
Bears – Eddie Royal (calf) caught seven of nine targets for 43 yards Sunday against the Colts.
Bears – Cameron Meredith caught nine of 12 targets for 130 yards and a touchdown while adding one rush for six yards Sunday against the Colts.
