Hurts completed 16 of 25 pass attempts for 204 yards and an interception, adding 38 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries in Sunday's 29-21 win over Jacksonville.

Hurts struggled from the pocket against the Jaguars' pass rush, resulting in his second game with zero passing touchdowns through four weeks. Luckily for his fantasy managers, the dual threat was able to offset a poor passing game with his fourth rushing touchdown. The 24-year-old's ability as a rusher has complemented his improved passing this season (67 completion percentage and 280.0 passing yards per game). Hurts will look to keep the Eagles undefeated in a matchup against the Cardinals -- which have allowed 281.0 passing yards per game to date -- next Sunday.

Hoyer (head) won't return to Sunday's game against the Packers.

It remains to be seen if Hoyer will be placed in the NFL's concussion protocol, but his status will need to be monitored ahead of next weekend's contest against the Lions. With Mac Jones (ankle) inactive versus Green Bay, Bailey Zappe is slated to remain at QB for the Patriots for rest of the day Sunday.

Rush completed 15 of 27 passes for 223 yards and two touchdowns against Washington on Sunday. He also rushed twice for seven yards.

While Rush's modest pass attempt volume is reflective of his game-manager limitations, he continues to play very clean football and makes the throws he needs to. CeeDee Lamb (six catches for 97 yards and one touchdown on eight targets) was highly effective, and Rush conducted two of Dallas' biggest plays in the game with a 45-yard pass to Noah Brown and a nine-yard touchdown to Michael Gallup. Although Dak Prescott (thumb) might return in Week 5, at the very least Rush has shown the Dallas offense can remain functional under his leadership.

Goff completed 26 of 39 passes for 378 yards with four touchdowns and one interception and added one yard on his sole rush attempt during the Lions' 48-45 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. He also recorded a two-point conversion rush and completed a two-point conversion pass.

Goff's eye-popping stat line is all the more impressive when considering the veteran quarterback took the field without D'Andre Swift (shoulder), Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) and DJ Chark (ankle). Goff adapted extremely well as the game went on, focusing heavily on tight end T.J. Hockenson, whom he hit for eight of his completions, 179 of his yards plus 32- and four-yard scoring tosses along with the two-point conversion pass. Goff also connected with Josh Reynolds and Justin Jackson for three- and two-yard touchdown passes, respectively, in the fourth quarter to keep the never-say-die Lions within striking distance, but the wild rally from a 31-15 deficit fell short when an onside kick following the Jackson TD was recovered by the Seahawks. Goff's yardage total was easily a season high, while his quartet of touchdown throws tied his Week 2 tally against the Commanders. Goff will naturally hope to have at least some of his missing weapons back for a tough Week 5 road trip to New England.

Fields completed 11 of 22 passes for 174 yards while rushing seven times for 52 yards and losing a fumble in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Giants.

Fields failed to lead a touchdown drive, as the Bears settled for four field goals. He set a season high in passing yards but still struggled mightily throwing the ball and hasn't thrown a touchdown in the past three games. Fields' rushing upside will make him a viable Week 5 fantasy option in Minnesota, but he's likely to continue struggling as a passer.

Hoyer is being evaluated for a head injury during Sunday's game against the Packers.

Prior to exiting the game, Hoyer -- who was filling in for Mac Jones (ankle) -- had completed five of six pass attempts for 37 yards. In his absence, Bailey Zappe is in at quarterback for the Patriots.

Smith completed 23 of 30 passes for 320 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and added 49 yards and another score on seven rushes in the Seahawks' 48-45 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Smith continued his shocking early-season trend of outplaying the man he replaced at quarterback, franchise legend Russell Wilson, with a second straight 300-yard effort. The 2013 second-round pick completed 76.7 percent of his throws for his fourth showing of over 70.0 percent in as many games to open the season, with his three total scores on the day coming via an eight-yard rush along with 17- and two-yard touchdown tosses to tight ends Will Dissly and Noah Fant, respectively. Smith now boasts a 6:2 TD:INT through four games for the surprising 2-2 Seahawks, who'll next face the Saints on the road in Week 5.

Trubisky completed seven of 13 pass attempts for 84 yards, no touchdowns and an interception while rushing once for one yard during the Steelers' 24-20 loss to the Jets on Sunday.

Trubisky had an inefficient first half during Sunday's matchup, and the Steelers trailed 10-6 at halftime. As a result, the team turned to rookie Kenny Pickett at quarterback to begin the second half. Pickett threw three interceptions, but he had 120 passing yards while tallying two rushing touchdowns as the Steelers nearly secured a comeback win. Trubisky has failed to propel the Steelers' offense much over the first four weeks of the season, so it certainly seems possible that he'll have to settle for a backup role moving forward.

Jackson completed 20 of 29 passes for 144 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions and rushed 11 times for 73 yards in the Ravens' 23-20 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Jackson and the Ravens got off to a torrid start with 20 first-half points, with one of the touchdowns coming on a one-yard shovel pass to J.K. Dobbins. Jackson also broke off several productive runs throughout the game, but Baltimore's failure to score a single second-half point is partly an indictment on the star quarterback, who threw both his interceptions in the fourth quarter. The second was the most critical, as it came in the end zone on fourth down at the end of a 14-play, 93-yard drive when coach John Harbaugh opted to bypass a gimme field-goal attempt that would have given his team the lead. Jackson will now aim to bounce back from his season-low passing yardage total when he faces the Bengals in a primetime divisional clash next Sunday night.

Mills completed 26 of 35 passes for 246 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Chargers.

Mills saw his team go down 21 points early on, but he helped it rally to close the gap in the second half. The signal-caller threw an eight-yard touchdown to Rex Burkhead in the third quarter, before finding wideout Brandin Cooks for an 18-yard score to begin the fourth. However, with a pair of interceptions on the day, including a badly overthrown pass on Houston's first drive, it was hardly a clean performance from Mills. In fact, he's now thrown a pair of picks in back-to-back games ahead of Week 5's matchup versus the Jaguars.
