Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers

Aaron Rodgers silenced critics, at least for one week, by edging out a win in OT against the Dallas Cowboys. Although the Packers are right on the bubble — sitting at 4-6 — it is way too early to count Rodgers out.

Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings

Justin Jefferson’s performance was mesmerizing against the Buffalo Bills. The receiver made catches during critical points that ultimately helped his team to a signature overtime win, moving the Vikings record to 8-1.

James Conner, Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals running back helped keep their playoff hopes alive rushing for 69 yards and two touchdowns in a win over the division rival Los Angeles Rams.

Rachaad White, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Rachaad White gave the Tampa Bay Buccaneers run game the boost it needed. White galloped for 105 yards as Tampa Bay beat Seattle in Munich, Germany.
