Tannehill completed 21 of 27 pass attempts for 270 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 27-3 win over Kansas City. He added two rushes for six yards and a touchdown.

Tannehill found rapport with A.J. Brown, and the duo connected for a number of big plays, including a 24-yard touchdown late in the first quarter. He also capped off a 24-point first-half offensive outburst for the Titans by rushing in a two-yard score late in the second quarter. Prior to this game, Tannehill had not recorded multiple touchdowns in three consecutive games, in turn limiting his fantasy production. Game script could limit him in Week 8, as the Titans are slated to face the Colts in what could be a slow-paced divisional affair.

Carr completed 31 of 34 passes for 323 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 33-22 win over the Eagles.

The Raiders' first drive of the day ended in the red zone on a pick that deflected off Jalen Richard's hands, but Carr was basically perfect the rest of the way, hitting Foster Moreau in the second quarter for a score and Bryan Edwards in the third. The quarterback has thrown for more than 300 yards and two TDs in five of seven games to begin the season heading into Las Vegas' Week 8 bye.

Hurts completed 18 of 34 passes for 236 yards and two touchdowns while gaining a team-high 61 rushing yards on 13 carries in Sunday's 33-22 loss to the Raiders.

While the second-year quarterback once again wasn't particularly efficient as a passer and lost his first fumble of the year, Hurts still found Kenneth Gainwell and Jalen Reagor for scores through the air. He also hit Dallas Goedert for a two-point conversion. Hurts will take a 10:4 TD:INT, plus five rushing TDs, into a Week 8 matchup on the road against the Lions.

Goff completed 22 of 36 pass attempts for 268 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions against the Rams on Sunday.

Goff was slightly more productive than either of his two prior games, which combined for 405 yards and two interceptions, but even this box score is largely owed to the after-the-catch work of running back D'Andre Swift, who propelled most of Goff's stat line with a 63-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter. The Lions aren't in a position to fix the problems that plague their passing game in 2021, so riding out this sort of production from Goff might be the way it goes the rest of the year. The Lions face the Eagles in Week 8 before a Week 9 bye.

Stafford completed 28 of 41 pass attempts for 334 yards and three touchdowns against Detroit on Sunday.

Stafford wasn't exactly explosive against his former team, averaging a somewhat modest 8.2 yards per attempt, but he kept the Rams offense on track all game and steadily led them into scoring range. He made touchdown passes when it counted, too, as his three scores were the only touchdowns the Rams punched in Sunday. The Rams running game will probably do more lifting against Houston in Week 8 after producing just 49 yards on 17 carries against Detroit on Sunday, but the throwing conditions should remain favorable for Stafford, too.

Taylor (hamstring) is expected to resume practicing this week, per coach David Culley, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

Taylor's availability for Houston's Week 8 matchup with the Rams will come down to how his hamstring responds in practice. Once healthy enough to play, the veteran quarterback is expected to retake the starting job from Davis Mills for a Texans team that's dropped six consecutive games since beating Jacksonville in the season opener.

Fields completed 22 of 32 passes for 184 yards and three interceptions while rushing eight times for 38 yards in the Bears' 38-3 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

With the Bucs pressuring the rookie relentlessly while the game was in question, Fields lost a fumble and was sacked four times in addition to the three interceptions in a terrible fantasy performance. He's averaging less than 200 passing yards and 0.4 touchdowns over five starts, and he's typically a depth option in leagues that start two quarterbacks, though his dynasty value remains promising.

Mahomes (undisclosed) avoided a concussion in Sunday's loss to the Titans and is expected to start against the Giants in Week 8, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Mahomes exited the game after being shaken up on a hit that caught him up high, and there was no reason to rush his return with the Chiefs getting blown out. He subsequently cleared the NFL's concussion protocol, so Chiefs fans and his fantasy managers alike can breathe a sigh of relief. His practice reps will likely be capped this week, but Mahomes should be available against the Giants on Monday Night Football with an extra day to heal up.

Jones completed 23 of 33 pass attempts for 203 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Panthers. He added eight rushes for 28 yards.

Jones was coming off of a disastrous four-turnover performance in Week 6, but he took care of the ball and led the Giants to victory Sunday. However, that still didn't lead to tremendous fantasy production, as he managed only 6.2 yards per attempt. In addition to limited yardage, Jones has thrown for multiple touchdowns in a game only once this season. Jones continued to add some upside to his stat line with production on the ground, topping 25 rushing yards for the fourth time this season. He could be in a friendly game environment in Week 8 against the Chiefs.

Jones completed 24 of 36 passes for 307 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 54-13 win over the Jets. He added 19 yards on three rushing attempts.

Jones once again worked as a caretaker while the running game and defense led the way, but he still topped 300 yards for the first time in his career in this blowout win. Brandon Bolden did most of the work on Jones' first touchdown pass, taking a screen pass to the house from 15 yards out, and Hunter Henry was wide open for a one-yard score to give the Patriots a 31-7 halftime lead. The rookie quarterback will bring a respectable 9:6 TD:INT into New England's Week 8 road tilt against the Chargers.
