Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold started out hot, but he cooled off after the first few drives. Darnold threw touchdowns on back-to-back drives to open the game, but didn't have a ton of success after that. He completed 18-of-25 passing attempts for 240 yards and two scores in the loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Darnold now has thrown for 1,610 yards with 14 touchdowns and five interceptions through seven games. He hasn't been lighting up the box score lately, but he doesn't make silly mistakes with the football. Fantasy managers should be able to keep riding him as a QB1 for next week's matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 234 yards, one touchdown, and one interception off 26-for-37 passing in Sunday's meeting with the Eagles. He added three carries for 15 yards. The Bengals were without Tee Higgins (quadriceps), who had three touchdowns in the previous three games. However, the signal-caller still had an acceptable showing, although his efforts couldn't bring his team to .500. Hopefully, Higgins will be healthy enough to return for the Week 9 matchup with the visiting Las Vegas Raiders. Still, even if Higgins isn't back on the field, Burrow should remain a starting fantasy option.
