Deshaun Watson only threw for 234 yards against New England -- but against New England, that was good enough to make him our top quarterback of the week. We look at the best and worst defenses across the league and why opponent adjustments have been so dramatic this year.

The top running back in our rankings this week (heading into Monday Night Football) is Carolina's Christian McCaffrey, who ran for 64 yards and a touchdown against the stout New Orleans Saints defense, adding 69 more yards and another touchdown as a receiver.

We start with a high-profile Thursday nighter, as the Colts (6-4) visit the Texans (6-4) in a game with major playoff implications. Key games on Sunday include Seattle (8-2) at Philadelphia (5-5), Carolina (5-5) at New Orleans (8-2), and Green Bay (8-2) at San Francisco (9-1).

Kyle Allen had the worst game for a quarterback we have ever measured on Sunday, but an older game might pass it by the end of the year. We explain, and look at the best passers, runners, and receivers of Week 11.

Buccaneers receivers Chris Godwin and Mike Evans are on a record-setting pace ... on a passing offense that remains eminently mediocre. We explain, and go over the best passers, rushers, and receivers of Week 10.

With Kyler Murray and Lamar Jackson having the best games anyone has had so far against San Francisco and New England, we look back at the best performances any quarterback had against great defenses of the past.

Wait, how did we reach the halfway point of the season already?! 

Following his release from New England's injured reserve list, wide receiver Josh Gordon has been claimed by the Seattle Seahawks.

It has already been a busy trade season in the NFL. We'll just use this thread to discuss any last-minute deals.
