Walker completed three of 14 passes for 33 yards in Sunday's 25-3 loss to the Giants. He added one rush for 13 yards.

Walker entered the game to start the fourth quarter in favor of Sam Darnold. He wasn't particularly effective, as he displayed poor accuracy and worked mostly in short areas of the field. On the other hand, he also showcased his ability on the ground, which would be a significant boost to his fantasy value if he were to get an ongoing chance as the starter. After the game, coach Matt Rhule said that the team would be going back to Darnold for a Week 8 matchup against Atlanta, according to Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site. Even so, this could be a situation to monitor moving forward.

Murray completed 20 of 28 passes for 261 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 31-5 win over the Texans.

He also carried the ball six times for 10 yards, including a loss of two yards on a first-quarter tote that gave Houston a safety for the game's first points. Murray quickly erased that mistake and then some, and the third-year QB will take a dazzling 17:5 TD:INT into a Week 8 showdown against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.

Mills completed 23 of 32 passes for 135 yards in Sunday's 31-5 loss to the Cardinals.

While the rookie quarterback managed a decent completion percentage, his 4.2 yards per attempt provided a better indication of how little success Mills had moving the Texans' offense. He's now failed to reach 200 passing yards in three of his five starts, managing only a 5:7 TD:INT during that stretch, and with Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) ready to begin practicing again, Mills' stint as Houston's starter could end as soon as Week 8 against the Rams.

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.
