  • Broncos' Teddy Bridgewater: Concussion confirmed

    Bridgewater officially suffered a concussion during Sunday's game versus the Ravens, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

    Prior to leaving the game, Bridgewater completed seven of 16 passes for one touchdown and had one two-yard rush in one half of work. He'll now be subject to the league's protocol for head injuries before he's cleared for game action. In the meantime, Drew Lock will direct the Broncos offense.

  • Broncos' Teddy Bridgewater: Won't return to Sunday's game

    Bridgewater (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game against the Ravens, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Drew Lock is now in line to finish out the game at QB for the Broncos, while Bridgewater will aim to gain medical clearance in advance of next Sunday's tilt against the Steelers. Prior to his exit, Bridgewater had completed 7-of-16 passes for 65 yards and a TD and ran once for two yards.

  • Broncos' Teddy Bridgewater: Possible concussion

    Bridgewater is being evaluated for a possible concussion during Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

    As a result, Drew Lock has taken over Denver's QB duties to start the second half of the contest. Look for the team to issue an official update on Bridgewater shortly, but for now consider his return questionable.

  • Football Team's Taylor Heinicke: Three TD passes in comeback win

    Heinicke completed 23 of 33 passes for 290 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 34-30 win over the Falcons. He added 43 yards on five rushing attempts.

    Heinicke hit Terry McLaurin for a 33-yard touchdown in the second quarter but was otherwise quiet until he was called upon to come up with some late-game magic, which has become customary for the 28-year-old quarterback. He connected with McLaurin from 17 yards out to pull Washington within two with 3:52 remaining, then found J.D. McKissic for the game-winning 30-yard touchdown in the final minute, though the running back admittedly did most of the work on the play. With an 8:3 TD:INT since taking over for Ryan Fitzpatrick (hip) in the season opener, Heinicke has held his own under center heading into a Week 5 matchup with the Saints.

  • 49ers' Jimmy Garoppolo: Suffers calf injury

    Garoppolo sustained a calf injury during Sunday's contest against the Seahawks, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports

    Garoppolo worked the entire first half, completing 14 of 23 passes for 165 yards, one touchdown and one interception. However, he handed over the offense to rookie first-round pick Trey Lance after halftime. It remains to be seen if Garoppolo will be able to get back on the field, as he was considered questionable to return.

  • Jameis Winston QB | NYG

    Saints' Jameis Winston: Season-high 23 pass attempts

    Winston completed 17 of 23 passes for 226 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants.

    Winston had a decent day as a passer, but his 23 pass attempts were somehow a season high in the Saints' low-volume pass attack. As long as Taysom Hill keeps getting swapped into the game during red-zone situations, fantasy managers will continue to need Winston to throw multiple touchdowns in any given contest for him to be pay off as a starting fantasy option. Working in Winston's favor in Week 5 is the fact that Washington's disappointing defense has surrendered 10 passing scores through four weeks.

  • Daniel Jones QB | IND

    Giants' Daniel Jones: Tops 400 yards in comeback OT win

    Jones completed 28 of 40 passes for 402 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 27-21 overtime win over New Orleans. He added 27 yards on four rushing attempts and ran in a two-point conversion.

    After the teams exchanged missed field goals, Jones opened the scoring with a 52-yard touchdown to John Ross. His first interception of the season wasn't a costly one, as it came on a Hail Mary to end the first half. Jones and the rest of the Giants offense were quiet through three quarters outside of the Ross touchdown, but a 54-yard touchdown pass to Saquon Barkley and Jones' ensuing two-point conversion ignited New York's comeback, cutting the Saints' lead to three with 6:52 remaining. The third-year quarterback proceeded to set up Graham Gano's game-tying 48-yard field goal in the final minute, then marched the offense down the field for the game-winning drive in overtime, which Barkley capped with a six-yard touchdown run. Fresh off his first 400-yard passing game -- and first 300-yard performance since his rookie season -- Jones will be brimming with confidence when the Giants travel to Dallas in Week 5.

  • Dolphins' Jacoby Brissett: Improved play not enough Sunday

    Brissett completed 20 of 30 passes for 199 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Colts' 27-17 win over the Dolphins on Sunday. He also rushed three times for eight yards and committed two fumbles, losing one and recovering the other.

    Brissett was able to connect on touchdowns with Mike Gesicki and DeVante Parker from one and three yards out, respectively, in the fourth quarter, but it was a bit too late to make a difference for the otherwise listless Dolphins. The veteran quarterback's first two scoring tosses of the season also were partly offset by his fumble deep in his own territory on the first play of the fourth quarter, a play that helped lead to a Colts field goal and extend Indianapolis' lead to 20-3. Tua Tagovailoa reportedly will be ready to return from his rib injury when first eligible to come off injured reserve ahead of a Week 6 battle against the Jaguars in London, so an unenviable Week 5 road matchup against the Buccaneers tentatively projects as Brissett's final start for the foreseeable future.

  • Jared Goff QB | DET

    Lions' Jared Goff: Nears 300 passing yards

    Goff completed 24 of 38 passes for 299 yards with two touchdowns and eight rushing yards during Sunday's 24-14 loss to Chicago.

    While Goff actually had a respectable day as a passer, a couple strokes of bad luck doomed Detroit's chances of getting out of Chicago with the divisional win. One was a strip sack and the other was an unlucky snap that bounced off Goff's knee and into the arms of a Bears defensive lineman as he was making an adjustment. However, despite the Lions circling the drain at 0-4, Goff is still completing 68.3 percent of his passes at a high enough volume to average 275 passing yards and nearly two passing touchdowns per game through four weeks. A Week 5 trip to Minnesota isn't the greatest of matchups, but Goff could again benefit from garbage time if Detroit's defense yet again puts the team in an early hole.

  • Jalen Hurts QB | PHI

    Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Two TDs in loss, two more negated

    Hurts completed 32 of 48 passes for 387 yards and two touchdowns to go with eight carries for 47 yards in Sunday's 42-30 loss to the Chiefs.

    Hurts found Dallas Goedert for a three-yard touchdown in the first quarter but later had would-be touchdowns to Goedert and Zach Ertz wiped out by penalties, as the Eagles ended up settling for field goals in both instances. He moved the ball well through the air and actually led the team in rushing yards as well, but Hurts couldn't keep pace with Patrick Mahomes and the high-powered Chiefs offense. Hurts padded his stats with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Greg Ward with four seconds remaining, bringing his TD:INT to 7:2 heading into a Week 5 trip to Carolina.
