Prescott completed 21 of 26 passes for 238 yards and three touchdowns in Monday night's 41-21 win over the Eagles. He also rushed nine times for six yards and lost a fumble.

Prescott started by narrowly missing out on a 45-yard touchdown pass to CeeDee Lamb, who was pulled down at the one-yard line before Ezekiel Elliott capped the Cowboys' opening drive with a touchdown rush. The signal-caller then faced pressure in his own end zone on Dallas' next series, causing the ball to slip out of his throwing hand for a fumble that was immediately recovered for a Philadelphia touchdown. Prescott endured further frustration after Elliott had a touchdown catch reversed and brought back to the one-yard line on the next drive, which ended after the quarterback was ruled to have been stuffed on a subsequent fourth-down sneak attempt after video review. Amid all those near-misses, however, Prescott was still highly efficient as a passer and ultimately finished with a trio of passing touchdowns, finding tight end Dalton Schultz twice and wideout Cedrick Wilson on a two-yard play on fourth down for his other. Overall, that made for a strong showing for Prescott, who now boasts six touchdowns versus two interceptions and has completed over 75 percent of his passes through three games. After returning from last year's ankle injury, he should have high confidence in his play in Week 4's matchup against an improved Panthers defense.

Minshew (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Cowboys.

Minshew will be a healthy scratch for the third straight game to open the season. Jalen Hurts will receive another start with Joe Flacco as Philadelphia's backup quarterback Monday.

Lance scored a one-yard touchdown on his only carry in Sunday's 30-28 loss to Green Bay.

Lance technically was on the field for three offensive snaps (four percent), but he only logged the one offensive touch after his pass attempt was called back due to a penalty. Jimmy Garoppolo struggled noticeably for the first time this season, but he salvaged his performance with a strong second half. If the veteran starter continues to show cracks as the season progresses, Lance may find himself taking over sooner than expected. For now, the rookie signal-caller should only be expected to enter Week 4's contest against Seattle sporadically at best.

Fields (hand) isn't guaranteed the starting job for Sunday's game against the Lions, Kimberley A. Martin of ESPN reports.

Fields drew his first career start against the Browns in Week 3, but he completed just six of 20 passes for 68 yards and hurt his hand late in the contest. Although X-rays came back negative following Sunday's game, coach Matt Nagy said Monday that the Bears "are working through" who will start under center Week 4, indicating that all three of the team's quarterbacks are in consideration for the start. Andy Dalton (knee) still is considered week-to-week, while Nick Foles is healthy and in the mix to start if Fields and Dalton are still banged up Sunday.

Coach Matt Nagy said Monday that Dalton (knee) is considered week-to-week, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

Dalton was held out of Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Browns due to a bone bruise in his left knee, and he isn't expected to miss significant time. However, he still could be sidelined for multiple games. A better idea of the 33-year-old's status for the team's Week 4 matchup against the Cowboys should come into focus based on his status in practice this week. Although Justin Fields (hand) started against Cleveland, Nagy said Monday that the Bears "are working through" who will start at quarterback Week 4, according to Kimberley A. Martin of ESPN.

Herbert had his throwing hand wrapped and iced before he left Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, but he's expected to be okay, NFL.com reports.

Herbert played every snap in Sunday's 30-24 win over Kansas City, including a four-yard, game-winning TD pass to Mike Williams on the final play of the afternoon for the Chargers offense. Williams' fifth-year breakout has aided the second-year QB's average of 318.7 passing yards per game, though Herbert has perhaps been a bit disappointing in fantasy due to turnovers (four) and a lack of rushing production (27 yards, zero TDs). In any case, he'll have an extra day to recover from his hand injury before the Chargers host the Raiders on Monday in Week 4.

Keenum played the final series of Sunday's 26-6 win over the Bears.

The Browns took over for the final possession at the Bears' 21-yard line following the ninth sack of Chicago's rookie quarterback, Justin Fields, and let Keenum run out the clock. He handed the ball off twice then took three knees.

Garoppolo completed 25 of 40 pass attempts for 257 yards, two touchdowns, an interception and a fumble lost in Sunday's 30-28 loss to the Packers.

It was a tale of two halves for the 49ers' starting quarterback, as he was missing easy throws and holding on to the ball too long in an ugly first half. He mostly turned things around in the second half and led an unlikely comeback before Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams and Mason Crosby crushed San Francisco's hopes for a win in the final 37 seconds of the game. Garoppolo looked like he had returned to his 2019 form of above-average play over the first two games of the season, but he began to show some of the flaws that caused his team to mortgage its future and draft Trey Lance (one carry, one yard and a touchdown) with the third overall pick this past offseason. The 29-year-old may still give the 49ers the best chance to win this season, but if he continues to make mistakes like he did in this one, we will start to hear rumblings for Lance to take over. For now, Garoppolo is expected to start in a pivotal NFC West matchup against the Seahawks next Sunday.

Rodgers completed 23 of 33 pass attempts for 261 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-28 win over the 49ers.

Rodgers led an improbable drive with 37 seconds left in the contest to put Mason Crosby in position to hit the 51-yard winning kick. The superstar quarterback has looked like just that over the last two contests after a horrid Week 1 performance that had many questioning his abilities and commitment to the Packers. The low yardage total (in relation to the high-scoring affair) can be attributed to a flag-happy referee crew that called over 90 yards of pass interference penalties against the 49ers' secondary. While fantasy managers do not benefit from those missed yards, they can take solace in the fact their quarterback is starting to hit his stride as we head into the meat of the season. Up next is a tough matchup against the Steelers' defense, but there are only a handful of quarterbacks you should be starting over Rodgers if you currently roster him.

Wilson completed 19 of his 35 pass attempts for 160 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Broncos.

Wilson was rarely able to maintain significant offensive drives, and the Broncos had 11 minutes more of possession as a result. His continued problem with turnovers is concerning, though it is worth noting that Wilson's second interception came with under a minute left in the game while the Jets were pushing down the field in an attempt to avoid a shutout. Even so, Wilson has looked far from prepared for the highest level of competition by throwing seven picks as compared to just two touchdowns three games into his career. Wilson has a chance to get back on track in Week 4 against a Tennessee secondary that has been exploited early on in the campaign.
