Jones completed 23 of 30 passes for 231 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Texans.

Jones didn't have a massive game from a stats perspective, but he methodically led the Patriots' offense to a victory. He spread targets around, as seven different receivers recorded multiple receptions. His longest completion went for 24 yards to Jakobi Meyers, and he delivered a 13-yard touchdown to Hunter Henry. Despite impressing five games into his rookie season, Jones' success on the field hasn't led to much fantasy value as he has only five total touchdowns and has yet to top 300 passing yards in a game.

Winston completed 15 of 30 passes for 279 yards and four touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 33-22 win over Washington. He also gained 26 yards on six carries.

The quarterback was far from efficient and was somewhat lucky to have been picked off only once, but Winston connected on enough of his deep throws to put together his most productive performance of the year. Despite a lack of consistent passing yards week to week, he'll take a strong 12:3 TD:INT into the Saints' Week 6 bye.

Jones won't return to Sunday's contest at Dallas after suffering a concussion.

The diagnosis comes as no surprise after Jones took not only a helmet-to-helmet hit from a Dallas defender, but his helmet also hit the turf as he went to the ground. Afterward, he had trouble getting to and staying on his feet until Giants trainers got to him, and he required a cart to get to the locker room, where the concussion was confirmed. Now subject to league protocols for head injuries, Jones will yield quarterback duties for New York to Mike Glennon.

Jones (undisclosed) needed to be carted off the field near the end of the second quarter of Sunday's game in Dallas, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Jones took a quarterback keeper to the left and was met just before the goal line by two Cowboys defenders. His helmet took hits from both of those players and the turf, and he had difficulty getting to and staying on his feet before the Giants' training staff got to him. He likely is undergoing concussion testing and may soon be in the league's protocol for head injuries. As long as Jones is sidelined, Mike Glennon will direct the offense.

Darnold completed 21 of 37 passes for 177 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Eagles.

Darnold's worst performance as a Panther saw him throw a trio of bad interceptions. His first two were picked off by Darius Slay while targeting DJ Moore, then Darnold put it behind Robby Anderson for his back-breaking final interception as Carolina was attempting to come back late in the fourth quarter. Although he did manage a five-yard touchdown to Tommy Tremble in the first half, Sunday still marked an awful outing for Darnold, who had completed at least 65 percent of his passes and averaged at least 7.5 yards on his attempts in four games prior. The signal-caller will hope to return to that good form while eliminating his recent turnovers in the Week 6 matchup against the Vikings, when the potential return of superstar weapon Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) could offer him a needed boost.

Brissett completed 27 of 39 passes for 275 yards and two touchdowns but also had an interception and lost a fumble in Sunday's 45-17 loss to Tampa Bay.

Brissett strained a hamstring in the first quarter but was able to play through it, though his mobility was clearly limited, which is why he didn't register a rushing attempt. He gave the Dolphins a 10-7 lead with a 24-yard touchdown pass to Myles Gaskin late in the first quarter, but the Buccaneers responded with 17 unanswered points in the second. Miami had a chance to answer just before halftime, but Brissett fumbled in Tampa territory in the final minute of the first half and the Buccaneers proceeded to pull away after halftime. Brissett tossed another touchdown to Gaskin in the third quarter, this time from one yard out, and was picked off in the fourth on a ball that went off Jaylen Waddle's hands. Even if Brissett's healthy enough to suit up across the pond against the Jaguars in Week 6, Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) will be eligible to come off IR, and Tua will presumably retake the starting job once healthy.

Hurts completed 22 of 37 passes for 198 yards and an interception, and rushed nine times for 30 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Panthers. He also had a successful two-point conversion pass.

Hurts endured a nightmarish first half, passing for just 74 yards on 24 attempts while seeing a shotgun snap sail over his head and roll out of the end zone for a safety. To make matters worse, the signal-caller had a badly overthrown interception in the third quarter, which came after his team lost another fumble the possession prior. Despite all those negative developments, though, Hurts rallied to close the third, hitting Quez Watkins for 53 yards before sneaking in himself for a touchdown. Hurts then proceeded to run in from six yards for another score to put the Eagles ahead in the fourth, after which he completed a two-point conversion pass to boot. In the end, it wasn't a pretty performance from Hurts, who struggled in particular as a passer, but his impact from in close on the ground helped punctuate Philadelphia's comeback victory.

Burrow is being taken to a hospital to be evaluated for a possible throat contusion, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

Per Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer, following Sunday's 25-22 overtime loss to the Packers, which Burrow completed, the QB was having trouble speaking, which prompted his trip to the hospital. Look for added details with regard to Burrow's status in the days leading up to next Sunday's game against the Lions.

Burrow completed 26 of 38 passes for 281 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 25-22 overtime loss to the Packers. He also had a successful two-point conversion pass.

Burrow found backup tailback Samaje Perine for a four-yard touchdown to begin his day, then salvaged an otherwise modest first-half performance by exploding for a 70-yard touchdown to Ja'Marr Chase on a scramble drill just before halftime. That play marked the longest pass of Burrow's career thus far, but he faltered by floating a throw on the run for an interception on Cincinnati's opening drive of the second half. Although he subsequently engineered a comeback drive and ultimately gave the Bengals a couple chances to win the game, Burrow did throw another pick on a miscommunication during overtime. Those two turnovers hurt his overall showing, but Burrow nonetheless impressed once again, particularly in connecting with Chase for nearly 160 yards. That pair will hope to continue their fruitful reunion while Burrow protects the ball better in Week 6 versus the winless Lions.

Rodgers completed 27 of 39 passes for 344 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 25-22 overtime win against the Bengals.

Rodgers threw an interception while Green Bay's offense failed to score in the first quarter but picked it up afterward. His first touchdown came on a 12-yarder to tailback AJ Dillon, then Rodgers floated a fade to favorite Davante Adams for a five-yard score before halftime. He'd often go back to Adams in the second half and overtime, at one point completing a 59-yard bomb that helped Adams amass a career-best 206 yards on the day. With a big connection to Randall Cobb to set up the Packers' elusive, game-winning field goal as well, Rodgers put together another strong display to begin the campaign. He'll now look forward to a matchup against the division-rival Bears in Week 6.
