McCarthy completed 20 of 28 passes for 252 yards and no touchdowns or interceptions in Sunday's 27-21 overtime win over the Texans. He added one yard on his only carry.

Making his first start of the season, McCarthy was efficient in getting the Giants into position to score, but all four of their touchdowns came on the ground -- including a one-yard plunge by the man he replaced under center, Jameis Winston, in the second quarter. The victory alone was enough to keep McCarthy in the starting job, and after a bye he'll gear up for a Week 9 clash with the Eagles.

Ward completed 20 of 31 passes for 181 yards with an interception in Sunday's 27-24 loss to Cleveland. He added five yards on two carries.

While Ward didn't get the ball into the end zone himself, he did move the offense enough to set up Tony Pollard for a three-TD day. The second-year QB has still thrown for under 200 yards in three straight games and six of his seven starts this season, and he'll take a weak 4:5 TD:INT into a Week 8 clash with the Bengals.

Nussmeier (coach's decision) is inactive as the emergency third quarterback for Sunday night's game against the Seahawks.

The rookie seventh-round pick continues to sit behind Patrick Mahomes and Justin Fields to begin the season.

Milroe is active and operating as the Seahawks' primary backup quarterback for Sunday night's matchup with Kansas City.

Milroe will be active for the first time since Week 2 as Drew Lock (elbow) will serve as the team's emergency third quarterback in Week 7. The 23-year-old has yet to appear in a regular-season contest this year, and he will only do so if Sam Darnold is forced out of Sunday night's contest.

Penix completed 25 of 34 passes for 213 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions and added five carries for minus-1 yard in the Falcons' 29-20 win over the 49ers on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble.

Penix put together a solid, mistake-free effort that saw him toss a trio of touchdown passes for the second straight games. The 2024 first-round pick connected with Nick Muse (one yard), Kyle Pitts (five yards) and Drake London (21 yards) for his trio of scoring strikes, the latter two coming in the second half. Penix also completed over 71.0 percent of his passes for the third time in five games this season, and he'll take a pristine 9:1 TD:INT and 1,157 passing yards into a Week 8 road matchup against the Buccaneers next Sunday.

Lock (elbow) is inactive but serving as the Seahawks' emergency third quarterback for Sunday night's contest against the Chiefs, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Lock was limited at practice throughout the entire week with a right elbow injury, and he will now likely have the opportunity to have a night off Sunday. Lock will only be eligible to enter the game if both starter Sam Darnold and primary backup Jalen Milroe are unable to continue.

Huntley completed 23 of 34 passes for 298 yards with a touchdown and an interception while adding three rushes for 12 yards in the Ravens' 35-13 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

Huntley had the Ravens seemingly in control through two quarters, when he helped stake Baltimore to a 13-0 halftime lead by tossing a 48-yard touchdown pass to Zay Flowers in the first quarter. The veteran signal-caller couldn't lead his squad to any second-half points, however, but because Huntley had to continue throwing as Cincinnati built its lead, he finished with a career-high single-game yardage total. Huntley has put together a 4:1 TD:INT over three starts in Lamar Jackson's (ankle) stead, but it's likely the latter will be able to suit up in next Sunday's Week 8 road showdown against the Bills.

Watson completed 25 of 36 passes for 308 yards with an interception in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Titans. He added 19 yards and a touchdown on three carries.

While he didn't throw a TD pass for a second straight game, Watson produced a season high in passing yards and scored his first rushing TD since Week 2 of the 2024 season on a nine-yard scamper in the fourth quarter. Watson also led his fifth game-winning, fourth-quarter drive of the year, completing another comeback after the Browns fell behind 14-0 early. The veteran QB will take a 7:3 TD:INT through seven games into a Week 8 meeting with the Steelers.

Murray completed 14 of 24 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Colts. He added 39 rushing yards on five carries.

With the Vikings' defense dominating on their side of the ball, Murray's modest numbers were enough to keep the team undefeated. He did shine on a fourth-quarter drive that produced Minnesota's only TD. scrambling for a 35-yard gain to get the ball into the red zone and then finding T.J. Hockenson for a five-yard score. Murray has just a 3:2 TD:INT through five starts and has yet to add a touchdown on the ground, but he could put together his first big performance of the season in a Week 8 clash with the Lions.

Burrow completed 22 of 30 passes for 292 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions while adding two rushes for 12 yards in the Bengals' 35-13 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

Burrow couldn't lead the Bengals to a single point in the first half, but the 2020 first overall pick came out of intermission locked in. Burrow helped spearhead five consecutive scoring drives to start the second half, capping four of them with touchdown passes to Mike Gesicki (six yards), Tee Higgins (13 yards), Ja'Marr Chase (two yards ) and Drew Sample (16 yards). The game marked Burrow's second straight with four scoring tosses and zero interceptions, and both his passing yardage total and 73.3 percent completion rate were both his second highest of the season. Burrow will take 1,653 passing yards and a 15:3 TD:INT into a Week 8 home matchup against the Titans next Sunday.
