Mahomes completed 32 of his 47 passes for 397 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 31-13 win over Washington.

Mahomes led the Chiefs to only 10 points in the first half, in part because he threw two interceptions. After his struggles in Week 5, there was significant reason to worry about his performance. However, he roared back to complete 13 of 23 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns in the second half to post his highest passing yardage total of the season. On the campaign, Mahomes has recorded multiple passing touchdowns in every game and has topped 300 yards in three of six contests.

Goff completed 28 of 42 passes for 202 yards and one interception during Sunday's 34-11 loss to the Bengals.

Goff's throwaway on 4th-and-4 at one point in the second quarter was emblematic of how this day went for the Lions. In fact, the final score probably overstated the success Goff found while directing the offense, considering Detroit didn't find the end zone until late in the fourth quarter when they were already down 34-3 -- and after Cincinnati's backup had already thrown more touchdown passes than Goff would for the entire game. However, head coach Dan Campbell said afterword that it isn't a consideration to bench Goff at this point, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, so look for the embattled signal-caller to be back under center in Week 7 in his return to Los Angeles to take on his former team.

Jones completed 29 of 51 passes for 242 yards with no touchdowns and three interceptions in the Giants' 38-11 loss to the Rams on Sunday. He also threw a two-point conversion pass, rushed three times for four yards and committed two fumbles, losing one.

Jones' final yardage total was respectable enough, but it belied the degree of difficulty he endured throughout the afternoon. The embattled signal-caller was sacked four times and hit on seven occasions overall just a week after suffering a concussion against the Cowboys. Jones also saw his previously modest but tidy 4:1 TD:INT take a serious hit with Sunday's trio of picks, two of which led to Rams touchdowns. The fact Kenny Golladay (knee) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) were out Sunday and Kadarius Toney exited early with an aggravation of his ankle injury certainly didn't help matters, but Jones will look to bounce back with what is likely a short-handed crew to some extent in Week 7 against the Panthers at home.

Jackson completed 19 of 27 passes for 167 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 34-6 win over the Chargers. He added 51 yards on eight rushing attempts.

The Ravens raced out to a 17-0 lead but Jackson briefly let the Chargers back into the game by throwing an interception one play after Baltimore's defense intercepted Justin Herbert. Los Angeles got into the end zone two plays later to cut into Baltimore's lead before halftime, but Jackson bounced back in the third quarter with a nine-yard touchdown pass to Mark Andrews. With the defense and running game dominating, Jackson's pedestrian passing performance didn't keep the Ravens from blowing out a Chargers team that also came into the game with a 4-1 record. Up next for Jackson will be a Week 7 home date with the Bengals.

Herbert completed 22 of 39 passes for 195 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Ravens. He added 12 yards on two rushing attempts.

Herbert started 8-for-17 for 71 yards and an interception through five drives as the Chargers fell behind 17-0, but he came alive with a one-yard touchdown to Jared Cook on the following possession. That momentum was short-lived, however, as Baltimore answered with a third-quarter touchdown, followed by a Herbert incompletion on 4th-and-1 in his own territory that all but decided the result with more than a quarter to play. Considering the second-year signal-caller had previously thrown for at least 300 yards or three-plus touchdowns in every game this season, this dud can be written off as a one-game blip against an elite defense. Expect Herbert to bounce back once Los Angeles comes out of its Week 7 bye.

Burrow completed 19 of 29 passes for 271 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in the Bengals' 34-11 win over the Lions on Sunday. He also rushed five times for 20 yards.

The Bengals walked into the road contest as big road favorites, and although it took them a bit to get clicking, the final result was a runaway win. Burrow contributed with touchdown throws of 40, two and seven yards to the eclectic trio of Joe Mixon, C.J. Uzomah and Auden Tate, his sixth multi-touchdown performance in as many games to open 2021. The second-year quarterback has over 260 passing yards in all but two contests as well, keeping his fantasy value robust in all formats going into a tricky Week 7 divisional road battle against the Ravens.

Fields completed 16 of 27 passes for 174 yards with one touchdown and an interception while adding 43 yards on five rushes in the Bears' 24-14 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Fields led the Bears on an opening drive that resulted in a Khalil Herbert rushing score. Afterwards, he was under heavy pressure most of the afternoon, and he wasn't able to engineer another scoring drive until Chicago was trying to come back in the fourth quarter. Unless he begins to show improvement, he'll only be a lineup consideration in leagues that start two quarterbacks.

Rodgers completed 17 of 23 passes for 195 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while also rushing seven times for 19 yards and another score in the Packers' 24-14 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Rodgers started slowly with a scoreless first quarter before notching his first of two touchdown throws on a one-yard shovel pass to Allen Lazard early in the second quarter. The future Hall of Famer would go on to lead a 10-play, 90-yard march in the third quarter that culminated in a 12-yard scoring toss to Aaron Jones, and Rodgers capped off the fantasy-friendly effort with a six-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter that saw him get just inside the right pylon and then jaw some with the Soldier Field crowd. The performance wasn't Rodgers' most prolific through the air by any means, but with the trio of scores, he kept fantasy managers pleased. He'll look to get passing yardage back up to usual standard when the Packers host Washington in Week 7.

Tagovailoa completed 33 of 47 pass attempts for 329 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Jaguars. He added one rush for seven yards.

Tagovailoa returned from a three-game absence and had the Dolphins' offense moving early in the game. He tallied 76 passing yards on the team's opening drive, which concluded with a six-yard touchdown pass to Jaylen Waddle. He led the team to a field goal on the subsequent possession, thanks to a few long completions to Mike Gesicki and Durham Smythe. Though the production slowed a bit from there, Tagovailoa managed the third 300-yard passing performance of his career.

Stafford completed 22 of 28 passes for 251 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions in the Rams' 38-11 win over the Giants on Sunday. He also rushed twice for 12 yards and recovered his own fumble.

Stafford's target pool was very Cooper Kupp-centered -- the standout receiver logged 11 looks from the veteran quarterback and was responsible for nine of his completions, 130 of his yards and two of his touchdowns -- but Robert Woods and Darrell Henderson also crossed the goal line on scoring grabs of 15 and 25 yards, respectively. Stafford was comfortably in command for most of the contest while averaging 9.0 yards per attempt and authoring his fifth multi-touchdown effort in six games. With a 16:3 TD:INT thus far in his Rams career, it appears safe to say the 33-year-old has undergone a rejuvenation by getting out of Detroit and into Sean McVay's passer-friendly system. Stafford will look to stay hot in a highly favorable Week 7 home matchup against the Lions.
