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.

Mahomes (undisclosed) avoided a concussion in Sunday's loss to the Titans and is expected to start against the Giants in Week 8, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Mahomes exited the game after being shaken up on a hit that caught him up high, and there was no reason to rush his return with the Chiefs getting blown out. He subsequently cleared the NFL's concussion protocol, so Chiefs fans and his fantasy managers alike can breathe a sigh of relief. His practice reps will likely be capped this week, but Mahomes should be available against the Giants on Monday Night Football with an extra day to heal up.

Jones completed 23 of 33 pass attempts for 203 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Panthers. He added eight rushes for 28 yards.

Jones was coming off of a disastrous four-turnover performance in Week 6, but he took care of the ball and led the Giants to victory Sunday. However, that still didn't lead to tremendous fantasy production, as he managed only 6.2 yards per attempt. In addition to limited yardage, Jones has thrown for multiple touchdowns in a game only once this season. Jones continued to add some upside to his stat line with production on the ground, topping 25 rushing yards for the fourth time this season. He could be in a friendly game environment in Week 8 against the Chiefs.

Jones completed 24 of 36 passes for 307 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 54-13 win over the Jets. He added 19 yards on three rushing attempts.

Jones once again worked as a caretaker while the running game and defense led the way, but he still topped 300 yards for the first time in his career in this blowout win. Brandon Bolden did most of the work on Jones' first touchdown pass, taking a screen pass to the house from 15 yards out, and Hunter Henry was wide open for a one-yard score to give the Patriots a 31-7 halftime lead. The rookie quarterback will bring a respectable 9:6 TD:INT into New England's Week 8 road tilt against the Chargers.

Darnold completed 16 of 25 passes for 111 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 25-3 loss to the Giants.

Darnold continued his run of miserable play and was benched to begin the fourth quarter. Prior to being replaced, he averaged only 4.4 yards per attempt and threw an interception for the fourth consecutive contest. After the game, coach Matt Rhule said that Darnold will remain the team's quarterback moving forward and that he was pulled only to try to provide a spark to the offense, according to Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site. Even if the team sticks with Darnold, he is a considerably risky fantasy option since he has now thrown five interceptions as opposed to only two touchdowns while averaging 165 passing yards per game across his last three contests.

Heinicke completed 25 of 37 pass attempts for 268 yards, one touchdown and one interception against Green Bay on Sunday, adding 95 rushing yards on 10 carries.

Heinicke also lost a fumble, which combined with the interception proved costly in the 24-10 road loss. On the other hand, Heinicke's supporting cast is beat up at every position, and other than Terry McLaurin (seven catches for 122 yards and one touchdown on 12 targets) there aren't any pass catchers for Heinicke to lean on. Dyami Brown (knee) left the game, and Washington went into Sunday already without right guard Brandon Scherff (knee), right tackle Samuel Cosmi (ankle), wideout Curtis Samuel (groin) and tight end Logan Thomas (hamstring). There's a chance Thomas could return soon, as he's eligible to be activated from IR before Week 8, which could provide Heinicke a meaningful boost as Washington heads to Denver on Sunday.

Wilson noted after Sunday's loss to the Patriots that his right knee injury is believed to be a PCL issue, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

The report adds that Wilson was walking gingerly as he entered and left the Jets' interview room Sunday, while the QB relayed that he felt a "pop" in his knee after New England's Matthew Judon landed on him. Additionally, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports that Wilson describes his knee as feeling "off" and "loose." We'll await the result of the MRI the rookie signal-caller is slated to undergo Monday, but at this stage it seems as though Wilson will miss some time. If so, Mike White would be in line to start next Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Burrow completed 23 of 38 pass attempts for 416 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 41-17 rout of the Ravens.

Burrow was having a relatively normal performance in a tight contest before absolutely going off on Baltimore's secondary in the second half. The 24-year-old connected on huge touchdown strikes to Ja'Marr Chase (82 yards) and C.J. Uzomah (55 yards) to put the game out of reach and seal the Bengals' first win against the Lamar Jackson era Ravens (1-5). Burrow's 17th touchdown already smashed his rookie total of 13, and he accomplished the feat in three less games. He will look to continue his rapid progression as a star quarterback against the Jets next Sunday.

Mahomes, who was replaced by Chad Henne in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Titans after absorbing a hit, was subsequently able to clear the NFL's concussion protocol, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

With Kansas City down 27-3, coach Andy Reid played it safe with his star QB, so at this stage it looks like Mahomes should be fine for next Monday's game against the Giants. Mahomes indicated after Sunday's contest that he feels fine, but it will still be worth checking back on his status once the team resumes practicing in advance of Week 8.

Wilson is slated to undergo an MRI on his knee Monday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

According to coach Robert Saleh, there's some initial optimism with regard to Wilson's status, though he added, "You never know." Look for an update at some point Monday, at which time there should be some added clarity with regard to the rookie QB's prospects of playing next Sunday against the Bengals. Per Brian Costello of the New York Post, it's believed that Wilson -- who was replaced by Mike White on Sunday -- may be dealing with a PCL injury.
