Brissett completed 32 of 49 passes for 215 yards without a touchdown or interception in Sunday's 31-29 overtime loss to the Raiders. He also carried the ball seven times for 37 yards and a touchdown.

While he did lead the Dolphins to a game-tying touchdown at the end of regulation, scrambling for a one-yard TD and then hitting Will Fuller for a two-point conversion, Brissett otherwise had little success moving the ball in his first start of the season, despite a huge volume of pass attempts. With Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) out for at least two more games, Brissett will be under center again Week 4 at home against the Colts, but he may need to do more than just avoid turnovers to get Miami into the win column.

Stafford completed 27 of his 38 pass attempts for 343 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's Week 3 win over Tampa Bay.

Stafford didn't lead the Rams to any points in the first quarter but then went on to pass for touchdowns to conclude each of the team's next four drives. He continued to display a rapport with Cooper Kupp -- he accounted for two of Stafford's touchdowns -- and also connected with DeSean Jackson for a 75-yard score. Through three games with the Rams, Stafford now has nine touchdowns as opposed to only one interception and has completed 11 passes of more than 20 yards to go along with five of more than 40 yards. Stafford should be in a good position to put up big numbers again Week 4 as the Rams will take on the Cardinals.

Goff completed 22 of 30 passes for 217 yards and added a four-yard rush in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Ravens.

Goff failed to throw a touchdown after totaling five in his first two games with Detroit, but he also played the first turnover-free game of his Lions tenure. He actually had the team in position to win by leading a pair of second-half touchdown drives -- both capped off by short rushing scores -- before Justin Tucker bounced a league-record 66-yard field goal in off the crossbar to win it for the Ravens on the game's final play. Given Goff's lack of receiving weapons, he'll be a QB2 option at best in Chicago in Week 4.

Jones completed 30 of 51 pass attempts for 270 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Saints. He added 28 yards on six carries.

Jones finally suffered the poor turnover fate that many of his fellow 2021 draft class quarterbacks have gone through early this season. The rookie's pick-six on the Patriots' first drive of the second half put the Saints up 21-3, pretty much putting the game out of reach and forcing the team to become one-dimensional. Even with the three interceptions, Jones is arguably having the best start out of all of the first-round quarterbacks taken in the draft. He will likely face his toughest test to date when the Patriots take on Tom Brady and the Buccaneers next Sunday.

Jones completed 24 of 35 passes for 266 yards in Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Falcons. He also rushed eight times for 39 yards and a successful two-point conversion.

Jones was forced to cope with wideouts Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard both exiting Sunday with hamstring injuries, as well as tailback Saquon Barkley being sidelined for a brief period. Although he recovered his own fumble twice, Jones avoided turning the ball over and completed a high percentage of his passes for the second straight week. He also made a decent impact with his legs, including his two-point conversion to start the fourth quarter. With no touchdowns to show for his effort, though, Jones will strive to have more of an influence in Week 4 versus the Saints, even if his receiving corps could be short-handed.

Lawrence completed 22 of 34 passes for 219 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions during Sunday's 31-19 loss to the Cardinals. He also had six carries for 27 yards and lost a pair of fumbles.

Lawrence now has multiple interceptions in each of his first three NFL starts, and he tacked on two lost fumbles Week 3. The rookie quarterback hasn't received much help from the rest of the offense, but ball security is clearly an issue to open his professional career. The Jaguars had only two scoring drives again Sunday, and the offense has scored only three touchdowns over the past two games, while Jamal Agnew has provided a pair of scores in the return game. Given his early struggles, Lawrence isn't a valid fantasy option at this point.

Winston completed 13 of 21 pass attempts for 128 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 28-13 win over the Patriots.

Winston now has seven touchdowns to two interceptions, with both picks coming in a forgettable Week 2 loss to the Panthers. Head coach Sean Payton clearly has put a suppressor on the cannon-armed quarterback in an effort to limit turnovers -- and it has mostly worked -- but it has resulted in the former 4,000-yard passer being limited to 129 passing yards per game thus far. Winston will be unable to help many fantasy managers with such low volume, as the five touchdowns from Week 1 will likely end up being an anomaly. For those forced to rely on the quarterback, a favorable matchup against the Giants is on tap for Week 4.

Heinicke completed 14 of 24 passes for 212 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in Washington's 43-21 loss to the Bills on Sunday. He also rushed eight times for 21 yards and another score while also recovering a fumble.

Heinicke's final line looked solid from a fantasy perspective, but it's worth noting Antonio Gibson lent a big hand to the young quarterback's passing yardage total by taking a screen pass 73 yards to the house in the second quarter. Heinicke added a four-yard scoring scamper later in the period and capped off the scoring for either squad with a two-yard end-zone toss to Logan Thomas in garbage time, but his second- and third-quarter interceptions led to a total of 10 Bills points. Heinicke will look to atone for the mistakes in a potentially favorable Week 4 road matchup against the Falcons.

Tannehill completed 18 of 27 passes for 197 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 25-16 win over the Colts. He also rushed five times for 56 yards.

Tannehill alternated between touchdown passes and interceptions after the Titans punted on their opening drive. The signal-caller's first-half scores came from six yards to Chester Rogers and 18 yards to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, as Tannehill was forced to incorporate lesser-known options with star wideout A.J. Brown (hamstring) leaving early. In the second half, Tannehill used his legs on a season-long, 28-yard rush and found reserve tailback Jeremy McNichols for a 10-yard touchdown pass, helping clinch a second straight win. Although Brown's injury raises concern over Tannehill's stock, his next two matchups coming against the Jets and Jaguars should at least offer some relief.

Fields underwent a precautionary X-ray on his right throwing hand after Sunday's 26-6 loss at Cleveland, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports. It was returned negative, and Fields called himself "fine."

Fields had a less than desirable first NFL start in place of Andy Dalton (knee), completing six of 20 passes for 68 yards. On top of the dismal passing performance, Fields was sacked nine times and had three carries for 12 yards. There's a chance Dalton is sidelined beyond Week 3, and if he is Fields again would line up under center next Sunday against the Lions, assuming the assessment of his hand injury is correct and he's able to suit up.
