QB Duds

Michael Vick-Pittsburgh Steelers: Vick left the game twice with two separate injuries and was ineffective while he was in the game.  He finished with only six yards passing on 3/8 while contributing 47 yards on five carries.  He was replaced and outplayed by Landry Jones, so Vick’s future playing time with the Steelers is definitely unsure.

Marcus Mariota-Tennessee Titans : Mariota has struggled the last two weeks and turned into a turnover machine against the Dolphins on Sunday.  Mariota managed 219 yards and a touchdown on 21/33 passing but he threw two picks and lost two fumbles which erased almost all of his fantasy  production.

Peyton Manning-Denver Broncos: The Denver D again bailed out the struggling Broncos’ offense in their overtime win against the Browns. While Manning threw for 290 yards and a touchdown, he also turned the ball over three times with three picks and completed just 26/48 of his passes.

Kirk Cousins-Washington Redskins: The Jets defense shut down Cousins and the Washington offense holding Cousins to only 196 yards passing.  He did manage a touchdown but also threw a pair of interceptions and posted single-digit fantasy points in most scoring formats.
