    • Lions 20, Packers 17
    • Rams 35, Raiders 21

    Quarterbacks

    Bo Nix was the fantasy story of the window. He went 15 of 29 for 222 yards and a touchdown, and added 73 rushing yards and a score on seven carries, 62 of them on one run. Jared Goff was the most efficient passer, 22 of 32 for 303 yards and two touchdowns. Matthew Stafford threw three touchdowns on 23 of 29 for 195 yards with one interception. Kirk Cousins put up 295 yards and two late touchdowns in a game the Raiders trailed 28-6 at the half.

    Backs and receivers

    Jahmyr Gibbs carried 29 times for 116 yards and caught five passes for 27. He went down short of the goal line late to help run out the clock. Amon-Ra St. Brown caught 9 of 11 targets for 153 yards, and Jameson Williams scored twice on a 5-91 line.

    The Rams split the backfield almost evenly. Kyren Williams ran 16 times for 99 yards and a touchdown, and Blake Corum ran 17 times for 93 and a score. Puka Nacua played through his calf injury and caught 8 of 10 targets for 68 yards and a touchdown.

    In Denver, RJ Harvey took a screen 52 yards for a touchdown but ran only three times for 6 yards. Jonah Coleman led the team with nine carries for 54 yards, and J.K. Dobbins scored from a yard out.

    Trey McBride was the tight end of the window with 10 catches on 13 targets for 111 yards and a touchdown. Rams tight end Davis Allen caught two short touchdowns. Tucker Kraft scored for Green Bay, and Brock Bowers caught 6 passes for 73 yards.

  • Duds

    Ashton Jeanty ran eight times for 15 yards, though he saved his day with eight catches for 61 and a late touchdown. Josh Jacobs managed 36 yards on 11 carries before a receiving score. Sam LaPorta saw two targets and caught one for 18 yards.

    Injuries and role changes

    Jaylen Waddle left Denver's game after catching four passes for 48 yards. Underdog NFL first listed the injury as an arm and later as a chest injury. Treat him as day to day until the Broncos give an update.

    The Raiders' quarterback question is open. Asked when the team will consider starting Fernando Mendoza, head coach Klint Kubiak said the team is "thinking about everything," including personnel.

    What RSO owners should do now

    Coleman is the Denver back to roster if he is still available. He led the backfield in carries Sunday. Corum's 17 carries make him more than a handcuff behind Kyren Williams, so hold him in deeper leagues. In dynasty, Mendoza is a cheap stash if a Raiders owner will move him before a switch.

    Watch Waddle's practice status midweek, the Raiders' quarterback decision, and whether the Rams keep splitting the carries.
