Quarterbacks
Drake Maye was the best line of the window: 26 of 34 for 374 yards and four touchdowns, plus a rushing score. Jordan Love went 25 of 31 for 367 yards and two touchdowns against Chicago. Joe Burrow threw four touchdowns on only 190 yards. Trevor Lawrence threw for 331 yards and two scores with one interception in London, and Jameis Winston threw 54 times for 326 yards and three touchdowns.
Jayden Daniels threw for only 199 yards but ran for 103 yards and two touchdowns. Aaron Rodgers had three touchdown passes. On the other side, Tyler Shough threw for 96 yards with two interceptions, Malik Willis threw two picks, and Case Keenum managed 108 yards for Chicago.
Running backs
Aaron Jones carried 25 times for 113 yards and a score against the Saints. Braelon Allen had 24 carries for 116 yards and a touchdown for the Jets. Jaylen Warren did it both ways with 101 rushing yards, six catches for 87 and two total touchdowns. MarShawn Lloyd scored twice on 31 yards for Green Bay.
The duds were in Vegas and Indianapolis. Ashton Jeanty played through his questionable tag but ran 10 times for 27 yards, though he caught three passes for 50. Jonathan Taylor had 45 yards on 15 carries. Chase Brown was out-carried by Samaje Perine 14 to 13.
Receivers and tight ends
Christian Watson caught six passes for 143 yards and two scores, and Matthew Golden added 123 yards. Parker Washington had 124 yards and two touchdowns for Jacksonville. Malik Nabers saw 20 targets and caught 11 for 121 and a score, while Isaiah Likely caught 11 for 94 and two touchdowns. Garrett Wilson had 104 yards on 11 targets.
At tight end, Brock Bowers caught eight of 10 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown, and Pat Freiermuth scored twice. Tyler Warren led the Colts with seven catches for 83. Ja'Marr Chase scored but had 77 yards, and Tee Higgins caught two passes for 22.
What changed for RSO owners
Injuries were the story of the window. TreVeyon Henderson (ankle), David Montgomery (groin), Will Shipley (foot), T.J. Hockenson (concussion evaluation), Kenyon Sadiq (concussion), KC Concepcion (head) and Roman Wilson (finger) all left their games, and Quinshon Judkins was seen in a walking boot after the loss to the Jets.
Usage shifts follow. Rhamondre Stevenson (13 carries, 64 yards, a touchdown) led New England with Henderson out, and Corey Kiner added 52 yards on six carries. Woody Marks handled 15 carries in Houston. Dameon Pierce was Philadelphia's lead back but gained 14 yards on 11 carries.
Pickups worth a look: Kiner and Marks as handcuffs until their injury news clears, Parker Washington in deeper leagues, and Germie Bernard, who drew nine targets for Pittsburgh. Keep starting Watson and Golden while Green Bay is throwing this well. Watch the Monday injury reports for Henderson, Montgomery and Hockenson before setting next week's lineups.
