Jacoby Brissett Keeps Turning in Solid Numbers
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett has posted solid numbers since moving into the starting role, and he'll keep the starting job while Kyler Murray (foot) spends at least the next three weeks on IR. Brissett has thrown for over 250 yards in each of his four starts and has thrown for exactly two touchdowns in each outing. He added a touchdown run as well in the team's win over the Cowboys in Week 9, and in Week 10, he threw for 258 passing yards on 44 pass attempts against the Seahawks. Coach Jonathan Gannon has shown plenty of trust in Brissett to air it out, and this week, he has a favorable matchup against the 49ers. San Francisco has allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, so Brissett is definitely worth a look as a streaming option or as a QB2 in Week 11.

Jordan Love Struggles in Monday Night Loss To Eagles
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love completed 20 of 36 passes for 176 yards and a lost fumble to go with five carries for 28 yards in a 10-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Love and the Packers offense couldn't get anything going on Monday night. The 176 passing yards marked the lowest of the season, and Love has now posted back-to-back games with below double-digit fantasy points. The 27-year-old certainly missed the presence of his star tight end Tucker Kraft (knee), plus dynamic rookie wideout Matthew Golden (shoulder), and then top receiver Romeo Doubs also left the game early with a chest injury. The Green Bay running game was stuck in the mud all game and didn't help set up Love in favorable down-and-distance situations, but he made plenty of mistakes as well. Love will look to bounce back in Week 11 against the New York Giants.

Jalen Hurts Has Modest Performance in Monday Night Win Over Packers
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 15 of 26 pass attempts for 183 yards and a touchdown to go with five carries for 27 yards and a lost fumble in a 10-7 win over the Green Bay Packers on Monday night. Hurts wasn't the most dynamic in this game as the Eagles struggled to consistently move the ball, and while he did lose a fumble on a rushing attempt on a solid opening drive, he did well to avoid mistakes otherwise. The 27-year-old didn't take a sack all night against a vaunted Packers pass rush, his first game without one since Week 8 of last season. Hurts managed the game for the most part while the Philadelphia defense dominated, but he made his best throw of the night on a 36-yard touchdown to DeVonta Smith. Hurts and the Eagles could be in for a shootout next week when they take on the Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football.

Joe Flacco Could Remain a Viable Starting Option Following Bye Week
Since taking over as the Cincinnati Bengals' starting quarterback in Week 6, Joe Flacco has put up gaudy statistics. Across four starts, Flacco has thrown for 1,254 yards, 11 touchdowns, and two interceptions. The Bengals opened up quarterback Joe Burrow's (toe) 21-day Injured Reserve activation window on Monday, but Burrow is reportedly targeting Thanksgiving as a return date. A Thanksgiving return for Burrow would give Flacco two more starts under center in Cincinnati, starting with a trip to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers in Week 11. Flacco torched Pittsburgh back in Week 7, throwing for 342 yards and three touchdowns. In fantasy leagues where Flacco may have been dropped during Cincinnati's Week 10 bye, he could be worth adding as a low-end QB1 option in Week 11.

Bills Keeping Joe Brady as Offensive Coordinator
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott denied any rumors of the organization making a change at offensive coordinator. There was speculation that Brian Daboll could return as the OC in Buffalo after being fired as the New York Giants head coach on Monday. Daboll spent four years as the Bills' offensive coordinator from 2018-2021 before taking the Giants head coaching position. It appears the Bills have no desire to bring back Daboll right now and plan to stick with Joe Brady as the OC going forward.

Joe Burrow Could Return for Thanksgiving Game
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) is inching his way closer to returning to the field. Burrow had his 21-day practice window opened on Monday and will practice in a limited capacity. Despite that, the Bengals have already ruled out Burrow for the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It sounds like Burrow is aiming to get back on the field for the Thanksgiving matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 13. It's worth noting that the Bengals sit at 3-6 with Joe Flacco likely drawing two more starts. If they lose both games, the Bengals might elect to hold out Burrow for the rest of the season. For now, it sounds like Burrow is aiming to play on Thanksgiving, but a lot could change over the next few weeks.

49ers Still in Wait-and-See Mode With Brock Purdy
The San Francisco 49ers are still in wait-and-see mode with quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) as they head into a Week 11 divisional matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Purdy has not played since aggravating his turf-toe injury in the Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he's been practicing on a limited basis, and head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Monday that the team is looking for the 25-year-old signal-caller to increase his activity this week. The 49ers "want three aggressive practices [from him], and we want to hear from him and make sure he feels good after them, too." The Niners are hoping Purdy can finally return to face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11, but he'll only be cleared if he can upgrade to a full practice and avoid any setbacks. When Purdy returns to the starting role under center, he'll have immediate low-end QB1 upside, but fantasy managers will also be wary of any potential rust from his long layoff. UPDATE: ESPN's Nick Wagoner thinks "it's clear the 49ers don't intend to make Purdy active again until he's healthy enough to reclaim his starting job."

Justin Herbert Battles Through Pressure and Pain in Sunday Night's Win
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert threw for 220 yards and one touchdown, while rushing five times for 19 yards in Sunday night's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was another gritty performance as he continued to play behind a severely depleted offensive line. Herbert was sacked five times and took numerous hits, which led him to tape both ankles during the game. The Chargers relied more on their ground game, helping to reduce some of the pressure throughout the night. Looking ahead to Week 11, Herbert faces a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that ranks second in interceptions (12) but has also allowed the fourth-most passing touchdowns. Jacksonville's secondary is opportunistic yet inconsistent, offering Herbert a potential rebound opportunity... if the offensive line can hold up. Keep an eye on his ankle health throughout the week, but expect mid-tier QB1 production if he's fully healthy.

Jayden Daniels Won't Travel to Madrid in Week 11
NBC Sports' JP Finaly reports that Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) will not travel with the team to Madrid to take on the Miami Dolphins in Week 11 this Sunday. Although Daniels' left-elbow dislocation isn't as serious as initially feared, he will miss a second straight game this weekend and will be re-evaluated after the team's Week 12 bye. The 24-year-old has not been placed on Injured Reserve, but the Commanders are still trying to determine if the second-year signal-caller will be able to play again this year after injuring his elbow in the Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The good news is that Daniels won't need surgery, and he didn't suffer any ligament damage to his non-throwing arm. Fantasy managers should consider him a long shot to make his return in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos, and Daniels' availability the rest of the way could be determined by the team's standings in the NFC.

Browns Non-Commital on Deshaun Watson's Status
When asked on Monday if Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles) would have his 21-day practice window opened this week, head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters, "I'm not sure if that's what we're doing." Recent reports have indicated that Watson's recovery from a torn Achilles suffered in Week 7 of 2024 has been going well, even after an additional surgery in January. Rookie Dillon Gabriel has started the last five games for the Browns, going 1-4 in that stretch, while throwing six touchdown passes to two interceptions. Fellow rookie Shedeur Sanders was the team's QB2 on Sunday after missing time with back tightness. Regardless of who is under center in Cleveland, the team's pass catchers face a muddled competition for below-average targets and will likely not be a part of many fantasy playoff rosters.

Joe Burrow Returning to Practice This Week
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that the Cincinnati Bengals have advanced quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) for a limited return to practice on Monday so that he can start progressing to on-field activities. It's a major step towards playing again later this year, and the Bengals can technically activate him from Injured Reserve anytime within the next 21 days. Burrow's recovery from turf-toe surgery is on track, but the expectation is that he won't return until around mid-December, at the earliest. So fantasy managers who have been stashing the former first overall pick might be disappointed when all is said and done. The 28-year-old two-time Pro Bowler played in just two games earlier this season before suffering a Grade 3 turf-toe injury that required surgery. The Bengals went with Jake Browning initially as Burrow's replacement before acquiring veteran Joe Flacco in a trade with Cleveland. Flacco will continue to serve as Cincy's starting QB until Burrow is cleared. UPDATE: Head coach Zac Taylor said Burrow won't play in Week 11 against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers.

Giants Fire Head Coach Brian Daboll
The New York Giants fired head coach Brian Daboll on Monday, sources tell Adam Schefter of ESPN. The move came after the Giants blew a fourth-quarter lead to lose to the Chicago Bears 24-20 on Sunday after rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart left the contest with a concussion. Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, who has interviewed for head-coaching jobs in recent seasons, will take over as the interim head coach going forward. The Giants went 2-8 under Daboll this year in his fourth season with the team. New York set a franchise record with their 11th straight road loss in Chicago in Week 10, a year after the Giants set a franchise record with a 10-game losing streak last year under Daboll. In his first year in the Big Apple, Daboll led the G-Men to the playoffs and was named Coach of the Year, but it fell apart quickly after that.

C.J. Stroud Remains in the Concussion Protocol
Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Monday that quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol, according to Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. Stroud suffered a concussion early in the Week 9 loss to the Denver Broncos and wasn't cleared to play in the Week 10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 24-year-old still has time to work his way through he concussion protocol, but he's not guaranteed to return this week when the team has another divisional game against the Tennessee Titans. The Texans could lean toward holding Stroud another week, too, after backup Davis Mills nearly threw for 300 yards in an impressive comeback win on Sunday. We'll have a better idea of Stroud's Week 11 status once the Texans release their first injury report of the week on Wednesday.

Davis Mills Worth a Waiver-Wire Pickup After Leading Texans to Comeback Win?
Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills led an improbable comeback on Sunday to help beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 36-29 in Week 10, throwing for 292 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception, and also rushing for 20 yards and another score. Mills was making his first start of the year with C.J. Stroud out with a concussion, and he didn't really do much until coming alive in the fourth quarter to lead the Texans all the way back. The 27-year-old's two touchdown passes went to rookie receiver Jayden Higgins and tight end Dalton Schultz. It was a spirited performance by Mills behind a suspect offensive line, but it could be short-lived if Stroud clears the league's concussion protocol to play in Week 11 against the division-rival Tennessee Titans. If Mills does get another start, he'd still only be a low-end QB2 streaming option in superflex leagues and would be unlikely to repeat his Week 10 performance.

Bryce Young Delivers Another Underwhelming Performance in Week 10
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young delivered another underwhelming performance in the Panthers' 17-7 loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Carolina QB went 17-for-25 for 124 yards with no TD passes. For the second consecutive game, Young recorded fewer than five fantasy points as he logged only 2.6. He threw an interception and fumbled once. This Panthers' loss also ended a streak of four victories in a row with Young as the starting QB. He did not record any touchdowns in back-to-back games for the first time this season. Through nine games, Young has scored 20-plus fantasy points only once. In Week 11, the Panthers will face the Atlanta Falcons, who ranked seventh in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to QBs leading up to Week 10. Fantasy players who roster Young in superflex leagues simply aren't getting enough production to even start Young as a QB2. Keep him reserved in Week 11 if possible.
