Texans – Brock Osweiler threw two touchdown passes and has been held below 200 passing yards in four of his past five games.
Jaguars – Blake Bortles struggled once again as the Jaguars failed to score a touchdown on their opening possession, extending the NFL’s longest current TD drought. The Jaguars haven’t found the end zone on their opening drive since Week 2 of the 2015 season against Miami. Since then, they have 17 punts, three field goals and three turnovers – all interceptions this season – in their initial possessions.
Bortles completed 32 of 49 passes for 265 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Bortles attempted over 40 passes for the fourth straight game. His 5.4 yards per attempt marked the second-worst output of the 24-year-old quarterback’s season, and his two turnovers give him 14 through nine games.
Saints – Drew Brees managed to complete 21 of 29 passes for 303 yards and three touchdowns, with the first two scoring passes going to Willie Snead. Brees completed 21 of 29 passes for 303 yards, three touchdowns and two picks Brees took advantage of some Denver miscues to throw three touchdowns in the second half . He’s thrown for over three touchdowns with 300 yards in four of the Saints’ five games since it’s bye.
Jets – Bryce Petty made his first NFL start in place of an injured Ryan Fitzpatrick, but couldn’t get much going against the Rams defense.

He completed 19 of 32 passes for 163 yards and a touchdown, though he threw an interception on the Jets’ final drive of the game.
Rams – Case Keenum went 17 of 30 for 165 yards, but had no turnovers after throwing eight interceptions in his previous four games. He also rushed five times for 11 yards. Keenum played well enough Sunday to possibly get one more game ahead of rookie Jared Goff.
Eagles – Carson Wentz threw for 231 yards and led the Eagles to a comeback victory for the first time this season. Wentz did not attempt many throws downfield, as his long gain went for just 20 yards, and the Eagles emphasized the run game with balanced play calling.
Falcons – Matt Ryan was 18 of 33 for 267 yards, one TD and one interception. Ryan was held in check for much of the game, and a large percentage of his production came on a 76-yard touchdown throw to Taylor Gabriel in the fourth quarter. He failed to throw multiple touchdown passes for the third time this season and the yardage output tied his second-lowest mark.
Bucs – Jameis Winston threw for 312 yards and two touchdowns..He had a highlight-reel play that saw the No. 1 pick in last year’s draft scramble 23 yards backward into his own end zone before avoiding a safety and launching a 39-yard completion to Mike Evans at the Chicago 38. Winston posted his best yardage total since Week 3 while also throwing multiple touchdown passes for the fourth consecutive game

Panthers – Cam Newton threw for 261 yards and a touchdown and ran for 54 yards and a score. He completed 23 of 38 passes for 261 yards, one touchdown and one pick and added 54 yards and a score on 12 rushes.

Packers – Aaron Rodgers completed 31 of 51 passes for 371 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions, and scrambled three times for 27 yards and another touchdown While Rodgers has eclipsed 300 passing yards only twice all season, he does have 12 passing touchdowns over the past four weeks.

Cardinals – Carson Palmer completed 30 of 49 passes for 376 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. , Palmer has surpassed 340 yards in three consecutive contests, but four touchdowns versus three interceptions during that span isn’t exactly great.
Dolphins – Ryan Tannehill completed 17 of 24 passes for 240 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions He was efficient and mistake-free while throwing multiple touchdowns for the first time since Week 3. The yardage total was also Tannehill’s highest in the last three weeks

Cowboys – Dak Prescott completed 22 of 32 passes for 319 yards and a pair of touchdowns . He also lost a fumble Both of his touchdowns were of the longer variety: an 83-yard catch and run from Ezekiel Elliott in the first quarter and a 50-yard strike to Dez Bryant in the third. T
Chargers – Philip Rivers completed 23 of 44 passes for 326 yards and three touchdowns while throwing four interceptions In the last four games, Rivers has put together a ghastly 8:8 touchdown:interception ratio and has thrown over 300 yards passing just twice over the stretch.
Chargers – Melvin Gordon carried the ball

Chiefs – Spencer Ware rushed for 61 yards on 13 carries and added 11 yards on three catches
Rams – Todd Gurley has yet to run for 100 yards in a game this season after rushing for 125 or more five times last season. He finished with 64 yards on 21 carries. The Rams got inside the 10-yard line on three different drives but didn’t use Gurley much in those instances, ultimately settling for three field goals.
Eagles – Ryan Mathews ran for 108 yards and two touchdowns. He had nine carries combined in the past two games, but coach Doug Pederson made a point to establish the run right away. Mathews carried seven times for 34 yards on the first drive, taking it in from the 4 for a 7-0 lead.
Eagles – Wendell Smallwood had 70 yards rushing and Philadelphia finished with a season-high 207 on the ground.
Bucs – Doug Martin returned from a hamstring injury that had sidelined him since Week 2. He rushed for 33 yards on 16 carries and scored on a 1-yard run that made it 36-10 late in the fourth quarter.

Panthers – Jonathan Stewart rushed for 39 yards on 13 carries. He’s failed to reach 80 yards total in his last two games. A drop off in carries, 14.5 per game over the past two games as compared to 22 per game in his first two games off the shelf, can be attributed as a factor. Cam Newton’s carries per game has more than doubled in that span
Vikings – Jerick McKinnon ran the ball six times for 16 yards to go along with three catches on four targets for 17 yards. With just 16 rushing yards he still managed to lead the team, which goes to show how big of an issue blocking has become
Saints – Mark Ingram rushed for 50 yards on 11 carries and added 13 yards on two receptions
Saints – Tim Hightower caught two passes for 34 yards and added 21 yards on eight carries. Sunday was a bit of a crash back down to earth for Hightower, who averaged 25.5 touches and 102 yards per game over the past two weeks

Broncos – Davontae Booker rushed for 76 yards on 24 carries and added two catches for 12 yards Booker was held to no or negative yardage on five carries on Sunday, all of them in the second half

Eagles – Darren Sproles carried two times for 19 yards and caught eight of 10 targets for an additional 57 yards He tied his season-low in carries and saw Ryan Mathews combine with Wendell Smallwood for 209 scrimmage yards and a pair of touchdowns. It appears the backfield rotation isn’t as stable
Falcons – Devonta Freeman carried 12 times for 49 yards and caught all three targets for an additional 32 yards Atlanta struggled to control the ball and did not sustain enough drives for Freeman to be effective. He made the most of his looks in the passing game
Dolphins – Jay Ajayi gained 79 yards on 19 carries and secured his only target for one yard. Ajayi’s yardage total represented his first sub-100-yard effort in the last four games, but his role in the running game is now that of unquestioned bell-cow back.
Steelers – Le’Veon Bell carried 17 times for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s 35-30 loss to the Cowboys. He also caught nine of 10 targets for 77 yards and another score.

six of nine targets for 116 yards and a touchdown he appears to be rounding into form after posting two games with over 100 receiving yards and a touchdown
49ers – Jeremy Kerley caught all seven of his targets for 71 yards and a touchdown. He failed to top 22 receiving yards in any of Colin Kaepernick’s first three starts under center, but showed a better rapport with the scrambling signal-caller in this one. The slot receiver’s underneath routes better suited ex-starter Blaine Gabbert
Steelers – Antonio Brown caught 14 of 18 targets for 154 yards . He also lost 10 yards on his only carry
Bucs – Mike Evans secured four of five targets for 66 yards. The five targets that he saw were a season low, and just his second game overall with single-digit looks this season.

Dolphins – Jarvis Landry hauled in all six of his targets for 53 yards in Sunday’s 31-24 win over the Chargers. More of the running game caused Landry to still see a reduced target amount compared the first four games of the season, and hasn’t seen double-digit looks since Week 4.
Dolphins – Kenny Stills secured two of three targets for 47 yards and a touchdown Stills’ targets can be considerably erratic, with the fourth-year wideout having only seen a combined four looks in the last two games.
Falcons – Julio Jones caught 10 of 16 targets for 135 yards It was his second game with double-digit receptions this season and was the sixth time he has gone over 100 yards receiving
Eagles – Jordan Matthews caught six of 10 targets for 73 yards Matthews led the team in targets and receiving yardage, but Carson Wentz did not generate many plays downfield in a conservative game plan.
Redskins – Pierre Garcon caught six of 10 targets for 81 yards He has six catches and at least 67 yards in three of his last four games after failing to do so once through the first five
Cardinals – Larry Fitzgerald had 12 receptions for 133 yards on 18 targets . However, his knee was sore after the game and he’ll have an MRI on Monday
Redskins – Jamison Crowder caught four of six targets for 37 yards and a touchdown.

49ers – Michael Floyd corralled five of six passes for 101 yards. Floyd’s performances this season have been drop-laden, as he entered with a catch rate of 44.2 percent (19 receptions on 43 targets)
Packers – Davante Adams caught six of nine targets for 156 yards.He has established himself as a dangerous weapon in this pass-heavy attack with 35 catches for 403 yards and three touchdowns over the past four weeks.
Packers – Jordy Nelson turned 18 targets into 12 catches for 126 yards and a touchdown. This was Nelson’s third straight game with at least 94 yards and a touchdown.

Steelers – Emmanuel Sanders snagged five of nine targets for 54 yards . From Weeks 3 through 5, Sanders averaged eight catches, 95 yards and a touchdown per game. He’s remained consistent since then, with five straight games of at least four receptions, but the rest of the production hasn’t been there – 59 yards per game and no scores.
Ravens – Steve Smith had five catches for 60 yards and moved into eighth place on the NFL career list with 14,349 yards receiving. He passed Reggie Wayne, and now is in pursuit of No. 7 Marvin Harrison (14,580).

Bears – Cameron Meredith had a 50-yard TD reception on the final play of the first half. Meredith caught one pass for 50 yards and a touchdown
Vikings – Stefon Diggs had 13 catches for 164 yards. After zero targets in the first quarter, Diggs had six catches for 102 yards in the second quarter alone. Diggs has now seen extremely heavy volume throughout the past three weeks, racking up a combined 34 catches on 42 targets since Week 8
Chiefs – Tyreek Hill was targeted 13 times in Sunday’s win over Carolina, tallying 10 catches for 89 yards. He added a 12-yard rush during the contest. The speedster already leads the team with four touchdown catches in limited looks and now he’s taken aim for more opportunities between the goal lines. He’s served as a much-needed big-play threat for the conservative Chiefs offense, his four catches of 20 or more yards since the Week 5 bye representing a team high.
Bears – Alshon Jeffery caught four passes for 47 yards. He led the team with nine targets, but with the team unable to spend much time in the red zone, he never had a realistic chance to post a touchdown. He’s now failed to exceed 63 receiving yards and four receptions in any of his last three contests

Jets – Robby Anderson caught three of six targets for a team-high 69 yards
Rams – Kenny Britt caught seven of 10 targets for a game-high 109 yards. Britt has now reached 100 yards or scored a touchdown in three of his last four games, as he’s developed a solid chemistry with quarterback Case Keenum. There were reports Sunday that Keenum could lose his starting job to Jared Goff, which would obviously have an affect on Britt
Saints – Willie Snead caught five of seven targets for 47 yards and two touchdowns. Snead has been a consistent performer with four or more receptions in four of his past five games.
Jaguars – Allen Hurns turned seven targets into just two catches for 13 yards. He wasn’t very effective, though, and has now failed to gain 40 yards in consecutive weeks after doing so in each of his first seven games this season
Jaguars – Allen Robinson corralled nine of 13 targets for 107 yards and a touchdown. Robinson increased his catches and yardage total for the third straight game, and has found pay dirt in back-to-back appearances. Jacksonville’s No. 1 receiver has regained the form that saw him reach 1,400 receiving yards last season, having topped 70 in three straight after doing so just once in his first six games.
Texans – DeAndre Hopkins hauled just five of 13 targets for 48 yards. Hopkins accounted for almost half of quarterback Brock Osweiler’s season-low 99 passing yards
Broncos – DeMaryius Thomas reeled in eight of 11 targets for 87 yards and a touchdown. Thomas has seen as many if not more targets than Sanders in four of the last five games. He’s also held a two to nothing touchdown lead during the span.

Steelers – Eli Rogers caught four passes for 42 yards and a touchdown

Steelers – Jesse James totaled 59 yards on four receptions. James was targeted four times, matching Ladarius Green

Bears – Zach Miller caught four passes for 32 yards Despite his disappointing afternoon, he was second on the team with seven targets and he tied for the team lead with four receptions
Vikings – Kyle Rudolph reeled in five receptions on eight targets for 69 yards and a touchdown. Rudolph is averaging around four catches per game thus far, but hasn’t surpassed the five-catch mark in a single contest since Week 3.
Panthers – Greg Olsen hauled in five of eight targets for 39 yards. He has caught at least five passes in eight of nine games this season. He has failed to reach 60 yards in any of his last three games after surpassing that total in each of his first six. A failure to make big plays is a culprit. Olsen had nine catches of 20 or more yards in the first six games of the season, but none in three straight games.
Texans – C.J. Fiedorowicz caught three of five targets for 26 yards. Fiedorowicz finished second in targets and yardage to DeAndre Hopkins, but the whole Texans passing game had a rough afternoon with quarterback Brock Osweiler throwing for fewer than 100 yards.
Titans – Delanie Walker caught nine of 11 targets for 124 yards and a touchdown Walker has 25 receptions over the past four weeks. Walker also has three touchdowns in that span
Redskins – Jordan Reed caught two of four targets for 41 yards. Reed averaged 20.5 yards per catch, but as one of seven Redskins to catch a pass Sunday he finished third on the team with four targets
Bucs – Cameron Brate secured all seven of his targets for 84 yards and a touchdown He posted his best performance of the season, leading the Bucs in both receptions and yards, while also checking in second only to Mike Evans in targets.

Cowboys – Jason Witten caught six of eight targets for 59 yards He established a strong rapport with rookie quarterback Dak Prescott, and his 44 catches and 482 yards through nine games
Chargers – Antonio Gates caught four of his nine targets for 63 yards and a touchdown He has now scored in each of the last three games. Even with Hunter Henry available Sunday, Gates still saw a heavy chunk of the targets, outpacing his younger counterpart nine to two.
