Drake Maye leads the league with 2,836 passing yards while Justin Herbert has attempted the most passes (358). Jared Goff has the highest completion percentage at 74% while Matthew Stafford has thrown the most touchdowns (25). Tua Tagovailoa has thrown the most interceptions (13) and Cam Ward has taken the most sacks (38). Maye has completed the most passes over 20 yards (40) while Sam Darnold leads the league with nine completed passes over 40 yards. Finally, Stafford has the longest completion at 88 yards.

5. Jacoby Brissett ($4,900) & Michael Wilson ($3,800), Cardinals vs. 49ers
In four starts for Kyler Murray, Brissett has thrown an average of 38.75 passes per game. Two of those contests had 44 pass attempts. He’s the career leader in interception rate and has only thrown one this season while tossing two touchdowns in all four starts. Brissett has also displayed some rushing prowess with 18 attempts for 80 yards and a touchdown. This has all translated to at least 20 FPTS in every contest.
The 49ers are dead-last in pressure rate and have allowed 19 touchdowns with only one interception while posting the seventh-highest EPA per dropback.
Michael Wilson is cheap and will be elevated up the depth chart due to Marvin Harrison Jr. being out. That could make life tough for him, but Brissett should still pepper him with targets. Wilson garnered seven last week with Harrison in the lineup.
4. Matthew Stafford ($6,600) & Puka Nacua ($8,700), Rams vs. Seahawks
This is an interesting game because both teams know each other well and have two of the best rush defenses in the league. The pass defenses are both good as well, but I think the action tilts toward the air on both sides. Seattle is a little more vulnerable through the air and Stafford has been en fuego recently, which is why I lean toward Stafford, who has thrown four, four and five touchdowns over the last three games and put up at least 26 FPTS in five of the last six games with a high of 30.4 FPTS.
Puka Nacua is 11th in the NFL for targets despite playing only eight games. He has two games under 20 FPTS — 17.4 FPTS in a blowout and 4.8 FPTS suffering an injury. Nacua is Stafford’s boo and is going to get fed in what should be a competitive game.
3. Justin Herbert ($6,300) & Ladd McConkey ($6,500), Chargers at Jaguars
After opening the season slinging the rock all over the field — three games with over 40 pass attempts — the Chargers have dialed things back, primarily due to injuries on the offensive line. Over the last three games, Herbert has attempted 25, 29 and 33 passes. The volume may not be there this week either, but there’s a good chance the efficiency will be. The Jaguars pass defense allowed Geno Smith to throw for 284 yards and four touchdowns two weeks ago and Davis Mills went for 292 yards and two touchdowns last week.
After starting the season off slowly, McConkey has been who we thought he was, putting up double-digit FPTS in five of six games with three of those over 20 FPTS.
2. Aaron Rodgers ($6,400) & DK Metcalf ($5,700), Steelers vs. Bengals
These teams met in Week 7 and exploded for a combined 64 points. Rodgers went 23-of-34 for 249 yards and four touchdowns. It’s unlikely that a replication occurs, but then you look at the Bengals defense and push all the chips into the middle of the table. The Bengals have allowed the second-highest EPA per dropback with 23 touchdowns while producing only 13 sacks.
DK Metcalf only caught three of five targets for 50 yards in the Week 7 matchup, as the Steelers chose to utilize the tight ends, which is the obvious weakness of the Bengals defense. And that will likely happen again. In addition, Metcalf has put up single-digit FPTS in the last two contests, but he’s always a threat to break one, as he did in Week 4, taking one 80 yards to the house and finishing with 26.6 FPTS.
1. Joe Flacco ($5,500) & Ja’Marr Chase ($8,500), Bengals at Steelers
Rodgers will likely put up points against a porous Bengals defense. That should keep Joe Flacco and the passing attack aggressive, which has been the status quo all season. Since joining the Bengals, Flacco has thrown 45, 47, 34 and 47 passes with at least two touchdowns in every contest. In his most recent start before the bye, Flacco totaled 470 yards and four touchdowns.
Chase leads the league with 107 targets. Since Flacco went under center, Chase has been peppered with 12, 23, 19 and eight targets. L. O. L.
