  • Davis Mills QB | HOU

    Texans' Davis Mills: Four picks against Bills

    Mills completed 11 of 21 passes for 87 yards, no touchdowns and four interceptions in Sunday's Week 4 loss to the Bills.

    There were reports prior to the matchup that the Texans planned to open the offense up for Mills. That didn't go according to plan, as Mills threw a pair of interceptions in both the first and second half. He also averaged only 4.1 yards per attempt, and his longest completion of the day went for 16 yards. While it was certainly a poor outing, Mills will likely get at least one more start with Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) on injured reserve for a Week 5 matchup against the Patriots.

  • Drew Lock QB | SEA

    Broncos' Drew Lock: Shaky in relief Sunday

    Lock completed 12 of 21 passes for 113 yards and an interception in Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Ravens.

    Teddy Bridgewater got knocked out of the game late in the second quarter with a concussion, but Lock had little luck moving the offense when he took over in the second half. If Bridgewater is forced to miss additional time, Lock would at least get a full week of practice to prepare for a Week 5 tilt in Pittsburgh, but there would be little reason to expect a much better performance given his track record.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Tops 300 yards in win

    Jackson completed 22 of 37 passes for 316 yards and a touchdown while adding 28 rushing yards on seven carries in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Broncos.

    He showed off his arm strength on the TD, as Marquise Brown laid out in the end zone to haul in a 49-yard heave from Jackson in the second quarter that put the Ravens in the lead for good. The 316 yards were not only a season high for Jackson, it represented his first 300-yard performance in over two years (Week 1 of 2019 against Miami). Jackson will look for more success through the air in Week 5 at home against the Colts.

  • Rams' Matthew Stafford: Can't find rhythm in loss

    Stafford completed 26 of 41 passes for 280 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Cardinals. He added 21 rushing yards on six carries.

    While his final numbers were solid, Stafford had trouble cracking the Arizona secondary and had a second INT wiped out by a questionable roughing the passer penalty. The veteran QB has tossed multiple touchdowns in four straight games to begin his tenure with the Rams, a streak he'll look to extend in Week 5 on the road against the Seahawks.

  • Sam Darnold QB | SEA

    Panthers' Sam Darnold: Four total touchdowns

    Darnold competed 26 of 39 pass attempts for 301 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's Week 4 loss to the Cowboys. He added six rushes for 35 yards and an additional two scores.

    Darnold continues to post better efficiency than he ever had in his tenure with the Jets. However, he did turn the ball over multiple times -- the first time he has done so this season -- which is something that plagued him in New York. Despite some drawbacks to his performance, Darnold did connect for long passes of 55, 39 and 29 yards, and he continues to show particular rapport with DJ Moore. Darnold has now logged multiple scores when combining passing and rushing in all four games this season. Heading into a Week 5 matchup against the Eagles, Darnold has averaged 297.3 passing yards per contest.

  • 49ers' Jimmy Garoppolo: MRI scheduled for Monday

    Garoppolo (calf) didn't return after halftime in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks and will get an MRI on the injury Monday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

    Garoppolo actually suffered the injury on the opening drive but was able to stay in the game until halftime. Rookie third-overall pick Trey Lance took over under center at halftime and would start against the Cardinals in Week 5 if Garoppolo can't go, though the starting job will remain in Garoppolo's hands if the MRI result reveals no significant damage and he's able to suit up in Arizona. Per Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus, Garoppolo anticipates that the injury will sideline him for a couple weeks.

  • Kyler Murray QB | MIN

    Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Leads win over Rams

    Murray completed 24 of 32 passes for 268 yards and two touchdowns while adding 39 rushing yards on six carries in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Rams.

    The third-year quarterback was sharp in helping to keep the Cardinals undefeated, but between an impressive effort from the team's ground game and the Arizona defense holding Matthew Stafford relatively in check, Murray didn't have to carry the entire load. He's produced 12 TDs through four games -- nine passing, three rushing -- and he could need to come up big again in Week 5 in another tough divisional matchup against the 49ers.

  • Russell Wilson QB | NYG

    Seahawks' Russell Wilson: Three scores but meager yardage

    Wilson completed 16-of-23 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns against San Francisco on Sunday, adding four carries for 26 yards and one touchdown.

    The three touchdowns were a useful reminder that Wilson doesn't need much usage volume to find the end zone regularly, but the Seattle offense sputtered at times Sunday and Wilson's usage remained low for the fourth game in a row. Wilson's efficiency and explosiveness are as high as ever through one month, but the Seahawks are not running many plays, and as a result Wilson is averaging just 27.3 pass attempts and 3.8 carries per game through four weeks. The Seahawks offense will look to pick up the pace in Thursday's Week 5 matchup with the Rams.

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Packers' Aaron Rodgers: Efficient, mistake-free in win

    Rodgers completed 20 of 36 passes for 248 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Packers' 27-17 win over the Steelers on Sunday. He also rushed three times for two yards.

    Rodgers wasn't at his absolute sharpest, but he did tie Dan Marino for sixth all-time in touchdown passes (420) in a mistake-free effort. The future Hall of Famer connected with Randall Cobb on scoring tosses of 23 yards and one yard, the latter the milestone throw in the latter portion of the third quarter. Rodgers has yet to author his first 300-yard effort of the season, but he now boasts a fantasy-friendly 8:2 TD:INT through four games and has multiple touchdown passes in three straight. Rodgers will look to keep up his strong start in a Week 5 road showdown against Joe Burrow and the Bengals.

  • Trey Lance QB | LAC

    49ers' Trey Lance: Steps in for injured Garoppolo

    Lance completed 9-of-18 passes for 157 yards and two touchdowns against Seattle on Sunday, running for 41 yards on seven carries.

    Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a calf injury and left the game after completing 14-of-23 passes for 165 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the first half. Lance was somewhat hit-or-miss and had some help from the Seattle defense when they forgot to cover Deebo Samuel on a 76-yard touchdown in the third quarter, but the playmaking ability was quickly evident when Lance took over the offense. It's not clear whether coach Kyle Shanahan will reconsider his quarterback depth chart in light of this game, nor is it known how serious Garoppolo's calf injury might be. The answers to those two questions will hold a lot of sway over San Francisco's fantasy fortunes as they prepare for a road matchup with an intimidating Arizona defense in Week 5.
