Brett Hundley picks up first career win as Packers top Bears.

Hundley was 18/25 for 212 yards, one touchdown, and zero turnovers. He also rushed twice for 16 yards. The third-year quarterback played his best game of the season on the road against an underrated Chicago defense, and it kept Green Bay tied with the Lions behind Minnesota in the NFC North. Hundley should keep getting better as he gains confidence, especially after an Aaron Rodgers-like deep ball to Davante Adams sealed the game against the Bears. That said, next Sunday won’t be easy as they host Baltimore.

Joe Mixon gets ten touches in Week 10.

The rookie running back from Oklahoma carried nine times for 37 yards and a touchdown and caught one pass for three yards. Mixon hasn’t had any monster games yet, but he’s been a solid low-floor option since taking over as the unquestioned leader in Cincinnati’s backfield. Giovani Bernard had only two carries in the game, but now Mixon just needs to get more than nine carries himself. Mixon will remain a fantasy option in lineups next week versus Denver.

Michael Thomas gets ten targets against the Bills.

Thomas worked as a great intermediate target in the Saints win, catching nine passes for 117 yards, with a long of 28 yards. In a game the Saints ran the ball 48 times, Thomas was the only receiver aside from rookie running back Alvin Kamara to catch more than one pass. On one of his receptions down the field, the second-year receiver nearly broke a tackle and score at around the 10-15-yard line, but he was brought down by the last defender. He has a matchup with Josh Norman next week, but Thomas should still offer a high floor in fantasy lineups.

DeShone Kizer, Browns fall to 0-9 with 38-24 loss to the Lions.

Kizer was 21/37 for 232 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He also rushed seven times for 57 yards and another score. It was probably Kizer’s best game of the season, but it didn’t come without mistakes. The biggest one was the final play of the first half that should probably give owner Jimmy Haslam reason to make changes immediately, as Kizer tried sneaking it with no timeouts in the red zone, and Cleveland wasn’t able spike it to give them a shot at a field goal before time expired. Despite the good fantasy day, there’s no way Kizer can be in fantasy lineups against Jacksonville’s elite defense next Sunday.

Trey Edmunds scores first career touchdown in Saints’ win.

The undrafted rookie is a big-time special teams contributor for the Saints, but he got some good work at the end of New Orleans’ blowout win over Buffalo, carrying nine times for 48 yards and a touchdown. The touchdown was a 41-yarder in the fourth quarter, and it’s great to see Edmunds shine when given his first chance on offense. He’s not a fantasy option right now, though.

Andy Dalton throws two touchdown in Bengals loss.

Dalton was 20/35 for 265 yards and two touchdowns, but he did lose two fumbles in the game. The first touchdown came early in the game on a 37-yard post to a wide-open Brandon Lafell; and the second touchdown came on a short post to A.J. Green, who broke a tackle and went the distance for 70 yards. Denver ‘s defense isn’t where it was in years past, but Dalton is a risky option against them in Week 11.

Alvin Kamara gets 17 touches against the Bills.

Buffalo’s defense continued to struggle defending the run, and the Saints ran wild for nearly 300 yards and six touchdowns in the game. Kamara carried 12 times for 106 yards and a touchdown while also adding five receptions (on five targets) for 32 yards. As long as he and the Saints are rolling like this, the dynamic rookie remains an awesome RB2/FLEX option in standard leagues and an RB1 in PPR leagues.
