Zappe replaced Brian Hoyer (head) in the first quarter of Sunday's game versus the Packers and completed 10 of 15 passes for 99 yards and a touchdown but lost a fumble in a 27-24 overtime loss.

Zappe entered the game for New England's third offensive drive, making his NFL debut at Lambeau Field. Although the Patriots initially struggled to move the ball and Zappe was stripped while being sacked prior to halftime, the fourth-rounder was more settled in the second half. In fact, with a 25-yard score to DeVante Parker, Zappe became the first rookie quarterback to throw a touchdown pass this season. Although that play could've been blown dead for delay of game, Zappe still helped his team push for an improbable victory in unexpected circumstances, acquitting himself nicely overall. Ahead of Week 5's game versus the Lions, though, Zappe may play only if both Mac Jones (ankle) and Hoyer (head) remain sidelined.

Jones completed eight of 13 passes for 71 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Bears. He rushed the ball six times for 68 yards and two touchdowns.

Jones briefly exited the game with an injured ankle in the third quarter, but he returned after only two possessions early in the fourth quarter. Even prior to the injury, the Giants clearly planned to run their offense through Saquon Barkley and the ground game, as they took to the air only 16 times combined between Jones and Tyrod Taylor. Instead, Jones got things done on the ground, racking up rushing touchdowns of 21 and eight yards. Jones has still yet to reach 200 passing yards in a game this season, and the Giants aren't eager to make him the focal point of their offense. Finally, Jones' status moving forward bears monitoring, as he left open the possibility that he suffered a high-ankle sprain, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.

Rodgers completed 21 of 35 passes for 251 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Patriots.

Rodgers endured a rough first half, completing merely four passes while also throwing an interception that was returned for a touchdown. The back-to-back MVP rebounded after halftime, though, finding trusted targets Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb on a few crucial plays and connecting with tight end Robert Tonyan and rookie Romeo Doubs for a pair of touchdowns. In doing so, Rodgers became just the fifth player in league history with 500 passing touchdowns. With the relief of a narrow home victory and another lofty accomplishment to his name, Rodgers will now turn his attention toward his first game in London, as the Packers travel across the pond to play the Giants in Week 5.

Mayfield completed 22 of 36 passes for 197 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions in Sunday's 26-16 loss to the Cardinals.

He also had two carries but gained zero yards on them, and he also lost a fumble. Mayfield's now failed to reach 200 passing yards in three straight games and has yet to toss more than one TD in a game this year, but if there was a silver lining to Sunday's effort it was his season-high 61.1 percent completion rate. Carolina's passing game will face a daunting challenge in Week 5 against the 49ers.

Brissett completed 21 of 35 pass attempts for 234 yards and an interception while adding 16 yards and a touchdown on five carries in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Atlanta.

Brissett was able to bolster a lackluster passing effort with an impressive scramble for a touchdown. The veteran fill-in has done a commendable job through four weeks, completing 65 percent of his passes with a 4:2 TD:INT ratio while leading Cleveland to a 2-2 record. Brissett leaves a lot to be desired from a fantasy perspective, especially heading into a tough matchup against the Chargers' ferocious pass rush next Sunday.

Murray completed 23 of 32 passes for 207 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 26-16 win over the Panthers. He added 26 rushing yards and a TD on 12 carries.

The Cardinals headed into halftime down 10-3, but Murray led a big second-half comeback, hitting Zach Ertz and Marquise Brown for scores between his own four-yard rushing touchdown. Murray's still having trouble stretching the field -- Sunday's 6.5 yards per attempt was his best showing in that category this season -- but he'll take a 5:2 TD:INT into a Week 5 clash with the undefeated Eagles.

Herbert completed 27 of 39 passes for 340 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Texans.

Herbert remained on the injury report due to fractured rib cartilage for much of the week, though he showed no sign of pain against the Texans. He threw multiple touchdowns for the third time this season, including an 18 yard-toss to Gerald Everett and a 14-yard completion to Austin Ekeler. Ekeler finished off two drives on the ground, which cost Herbert a bigger performance. Nevertheless, he showed the continued ability to hit for big plays -- even in the absence of Keenan Allen (hamstring) -- highlighted by a 50-yard completion to Mike Williams.

Lawrence completed 11 of 23 pass attempts for 174 yards, two touchdowns, one interception and four lost fumbles in Sunday's 29-21 loss to Philadelphia.

Lawrence got off to blazing start with two quick touchdowns to put his team up 14-0 in the first quarter. That's where the positive reviews end for the sophomore quarterback, as he was figured out by the Eagles' defense from there on out and watched the game literally slip from his hands, losing a career-high four fumbles. The 22-year-old appeared to be figuring things out over the last couple of weeks, but Sunday's backslide brings his season average back down to 236.5 passing yards per game with an 8:6 TD:TO ratio. Lawrence will get an opportunity to redeem himself next Sunday in a soft matchup against the Texans.

Wilson completed 18 of 36 passes for 252 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 24-20 win over Pittsburgh. He added 15 rushing yards on two attempts and a two-yard touchdown catch.

Just as we all predicted, Wilson caught a touchdown before throwing one, as he secured a two-yard touchdown pass from Braxton Berrios on a trick play to give New York a 10-0 lead in the second quarter. Wilson cost the Jets a chance at points just before halftime, though, as he threw a third-down interception with New York in field-goal range. His third-quarter interception set up a go-ahead Steelers touchdown, but Wilson made amends with a five-yard touchdown pass to Corey Davis in the fourth to cut the Jets' deficit to 20-17. Wilson then led a game-winning drive capped by a Breece Hall rushing touchdown in the final minute. The second-year quarterback will need to cut down on the errors moving forward, but the win gives him and the Jets some momentum heading into a Week 5 home game against the Dolphins.

Taylor suffered a concussion during Sunday's 20-12 win against the Bears, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Taylor entered for a banged-up Daniel Jones (ankle) in the fourth quarter, throwing an interception on his first drive before taking a helmet-to-helmet hit on the second possession. He proceeded to be examined for a head injury, and a concussion has been confirmed in the meantime. The Giants take on the Packers in London next Sunday, but it's unclear if Taylor will be Jones' backup, let alone if both players will be available. Currently, the only other quarterback on the roster is practice-squad member Davis Webb.
