Fields completed 16 of 27 passes for 174 yards with one touchdown and an interception while adding 43 yards on five rushes in the Bears' 24-14 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Fields led the Bears on an opening drive that resulted in a Khalil Herbert rushing score. Afterwards, he was under heavy pressure most of the afternoon, and he wasn't able to engineer another scoring drive until Chicago was trying to come back in the fourth quarter. Unless he begins to show improvement, he'll only be a lineup consideration in leagues that start two quarterbacks.

Rodgers completed 17 of 23 passes for 195 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while also rushing seven times for 19 yards and another score in the Packers' 24-14 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Rodgers started slowly with a scoreless first quarter before notching his first of two touchdown throws on a one-yard shovel pass to Allen Lazard early in the second quarter. The future Hall of Famer would go on to lead a 10-play, 90-yard march in the third quarter that culminated in a 12-yard scoring toss to Aaron Jones, and Rodgers capped off the fantasy-friendly effort with a six-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter that saw him get just inside the right pylon and then jaw some with the Soldier Field crowd. The performance wasn't Rodgers' most prolific through the air by any means, but with the trio of scores, he kept fantasy managers pleased. He'll look to get passing yardage back up to usual standard when the Packers host Washington in Week 7.

Tagovailoa completed 33 of 47 pass attempts for 329 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Jaguars. He added one rush for seven yards.

Tagovailoa returned from a three-game absence and had the Dolphins' offense moving early in the game. He tallied 76 passing yards on the team's opening drive, which concluded with a six-yard touchdown pass to Jaylen Waddle. He led the team to a field goal on the subsequent possession, thanks to a few long completions to Mike Gesicki and Durham Smythe. Though the production slowed a bit from there, Tagovailoa managed the third 300-yard passing performance of his career.

Stafford completed 22 of 28 passes for 251 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions in the Rams' 38-11 win over the Giants on Sunday. He also rushed twice for 12 yards and recovered his own fumble.

Stafford's target pool was very Cooper Kupp-centered -- the standout receiver logged 11 looks from the veteran quarterback and was responsible for nine of his completions, 130 of his yards and two of his touchdowns -- but Robert Woods and Darrell Henderson also crossed the goal line on scoring grabs of 15 and 25 yards, respectively. Stafford was comfortably in command for most of the contest while averaging 9.0 yards per attempt and authoring his fifth multi-touchdown effort in six games. With a 16:3 TD:INT thus far in his Rams career, it appears safe to say the 33-year-old has undergone a rejuvenation by getting out of Detroit and into Sean McVay's passer-friendly system. Stafford will look to stay hot in a highly favorable Week 7 home matchup against the Lions.

Lawrence completed 25 of his 41 passes for 319 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Dolphins. He added two rushes for 11 yards.

Lawrence saw increased pass volume, topping 34 attempts for the first time since Week 1. The result was the second 300-yard performance of his career, which was highlighted by seven completions of at least 20 yards. The only downside to the performance was lack of touchdowns, and Lawrence has no more than one passing score in each of his last five games. Even so, he's started to look more comfortable with the professional game and has averaged 8.1 yards per attempt across his last three contests.

Sinnett (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

After backing up Jacoby Brissett in each of the Dolphins' last three games, Sinnett will head back to the No. 3 role at quarterback with Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) starting Sunday in his first game back from injured reserve. Sinnett could be a candidate to be dropped from the 53-man roster later in the season if injuries should decimate the Dolphins' depth at other positions.

Brissett (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Though Brissett is available Sunday, he's slated to return to a backup role with Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) active versus Jacksonville and slated to reclaim his starting QB role. Meanwhile, fellow signal-caller Reid Sinnett is inactive for the contest.

Tagovailoa (ribs) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London and is expected to serve as the Dolphins' starting quarterback.

Tagovailoa, who was activated off injured reserve Saturday, returns to the lineup after missing the Dolphins' past three games due to a rib injury that he suffered in Week 2. With Will Fuller (finger) still on IR, DeVante Parker (shoulder/hamstring) and Preston Williams (groin) also out, in his return to action Tagovailoa will be working with a shorthanded wideout corps headed by Jaylen Waddle, with Albert Wilson, Mack Hollins, Isaiah Ford and Kirk Merritt also in the mix. On the plus side, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft will be facing an 0-5 Jacksonville squad that is allowing an average of 30.4 points and 286.6 passing yards per game to date.

Tagovailoa (ribs) is expected to play Sunday against the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Schefter's reporting lines up with reports from earlier in the day, which indicated that Tagovailoa was set to start. He's been trending that way throughout the week after being cleared to practice Tuesday. He'll be appearing for the first time since Week 2 after recovering from fractured ribs.

The Texans signed Driskel to their active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Driskel was elevated from the practice squad for each of the last three games but hasn't yet made his season debut. He'll continue to serve as the backup to Davis Mills while Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) is on injured reserve.
