  • Jared Goff QB | DET

    Rams' Jared Goff: Completes just 50 percent of passes

    Goff completed 19 of 38 pass attempts for 198 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 24-16 loss to San Francisco.

    The 49ers were without its top two edge rushers and two starting corners, but Goff was unable to take advantage of the opportunity and turned in a dud on national television. The usually-accurate quarterback -- he entered Sunday's contest with a 72 percent completion rate -- was not sacked and didn't face too many pressures from blitzes, so it appeared that he simply did not bring his A-game in what looked to be a soft matchup. Goff had been reliable up until this point, so this may end up being one of his worst performances of the year. His fantasy managers are hoping this is just an isolated incident as a far-more ferocious Bears defense comes to Los Angeles for Monday Night Football in Week 7.

  • Case Keenum QB | CHI

    Browns' Case Keenum: Enters game in relief

    Keenum completed five of 10 pass attempts for 46 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Week 6 against the Steelers.

    Keenum entered the game late in the third quarter after Baker Mayfield was pulled due to the aggravation of his rib injury. The game was already well out of reach, so Keenum wasn't asked to do much in the closing quarter. However, Keenum could be counted on to start in Week 7 against the Bengals if Mayfield is too injured to suit up. Keenum last saw major playing time as the quarterback for Washington in 2019, when he managed a 65 percent completion rate and an 11:5 TD:INT ratio.

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Packers' Aaron Rodgers: Has game to forget vs. Bucs

    Rodgers completed 16 of 35 pass attempts for 160 yards and a pair of interceptions while adding 14 yards on two carries during Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Rodgers completed eight of his first 12 passes while leading a pair of scoring drives to start the game, but he fell on hard times soon after. He threw a pick-six on the third drive of the game and followed that up with another interception. The veteran never looked right the rest of the way, as he finished with a dismal 46 percent completion rate. Rodgers, who was also sacked four times, came into this one with a stellar 13:0 TD:INT and will have a chance to bounce back next Sunday against the Texans.

  • Tua Tagovailoa QB | ATL

    Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Leads final drive

    Tagovailoa completed both of his pass attempts for nine yards during Sunday's 24-0 win over the Jets.

    The rookie No. 5 overall pick entered the game with 2:27 left on the clock in the fourth quarter, driving from Miami's own seven yard line. Tagovailoa wasn't tasked with doing anything more than running the clock out, so it's difficult to extrapolate much from his first professional action, but the rookie did manage to seamlessly pick up the necessary first down by virtue of completions to Patrick Laird and Jakeem Grant. It remains to be seen when Tagovailoa will officially transition into Miami's starting role, but it's at least encouraging to see tangible confirmation that the team considers him healthy enough for game action.

  • Panthers' Teddy Bridgewater: Rough outing against physical Bears

    Bridgewater completed 16 of 29 pass attempts for 216 yards, committing two interceptions during Sunday's 23-16 loss to Chicago. He also ran for 48 yards on eight rush attempts.

    The 27-year-old signal-caller entered Sunday with an uber-efficient 73.4 percent completion rate and 6:3 TD:INT, but the Bears registered six QB hits and four sacks on Bridgewater, holding him to a lowly 34.0 QBR on the afternoon. It may have been a completely different outcome had Bridgewater been able to redo his first and final series of the day, as he threw an interception on the third play from scrimmage and tossed a game-sealing INT on Carolina's last offensive drive. In between came plenty of solid play from Bridgewater, as he ultimately had his team within one possession, ball in-hand late in the fourth quarter. The Panthers drop to 3-3 with the loss and now head into a Week 7 matchup against Bridgewater's former team, New Orleans.

  • Joe Burrow QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Burrow: Can't protect early lead

    Burrow completed 25 of 39 passes for 313 yards and one interception while adding two yards on three carries during Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Colts.

    Burrow unexpectedly enjoyed a large early lead and deferred to the run game for much of the first half. Unfortunately, the Colts clawed their way back in the game, eventually taking the lead, and Burrow's interception on his last drive was the nail in the coffin. The rookie has now gone back-to-back weeks without a touchdown pass and owns a 6:4 TD:INT for the season despite reaching the 300-yard mark in four of the last five games. Burrow will look to take advantage of a rare favorable matchup next Sunday against the Browns.

  • Jaguars' Gardner Minshew: Two turnovers in blowout loss

    Minshew completed 25 of 44 pass attempts for 243 yards, one touchdown, one interception and a lost fumble in Week 6 against the Lions. He also added three rushes for 14 yards and another score.

    After a dismal start to the game, Minshew salvaged his day in the second half by finding the end zone twice. His first score came on the ground when he scrambled out of the pocket and evaded a defender for a six-yard rushing touchdown. With five minutes remaining in the game, he tallied his second touchdown on a swing pass to James Robinson from 14 yards away. For the season, Minshew has now recorded multiple touchdowns in five of his six starts. Volume has also been on his side, as he's attempted at least 40 passes in each of his last five games. However, Minshew and the team may be in for a slower-paced game in Week 7 against the Chargers.

  • Kirk Cousins QB | LV

    Vikings' Kirk Cousins: Three TDs, but turnovers galore

    Cousins went 24-for-36 passing with 343 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions during Sunday's 40-23 loss to the Falcons.

    The 32-year-old signal-caller got off to a horrific start Sunday, committing three first-half interceptions for the first time in his NFL career. Cousins has logged four multi-TD outings thus far in the 2020 campaign, though he's already committed 11 giveaways. Last season he threw six interceptions across 15 regular-season appearances, but in 2020 he already has 10 through the first six weeks. The 1-5 Vikings get a chance to lick their wounds over the team's bye week, but a Nov. 1 matchup against division-leading Green Bay lingers on the other side.

  • Lions' Matthew Stafford: Manages Lions to victory

    Stafford completed 19 of 31 pass attempts for 223 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 6 against the Jaguars.

    Stafford led the team to touchdowns on each of its first two drives of the game, though both were capped by rushing scores. From there, the Lions were in control of the contest, limiting the need for him to air the ball out. Even so, he displayed a strong connection with Kenny Golladay for long gains of 48, 36 and 16 yards while also finding T.J. Hockenson for a one-yard touchdown toss. Detroit will take on Atlanta in Week 7, which could turn into a shootout that will be more conducive to Stafford posting gaudy numbers.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Dominates as runner vs. Eagles

    Jackson completed 16 of 27 pass attempts for 186 yards and a touchdown while adding 108 yards and another score on nine carries during Sunday's 30-28 win over the Eagles.

    Jackson averaged a pedestrian 6.9 yards per attempt and was held under 200 passing yards for the fourth straight game, with his only score through the air coming on a seven-yard connection with Nick Boyle. He was excellent as a runner, however, as he topped the 100-yard mark for the first time this season and scored an electrifying 37-yard rushing touchdown. Jackson hasn't been quite as dynamic this season as he was a year ago, but he still owns an excellent 10:2 TD:INT and has his team sitting at 5-1. He'll use the upcoming bye week to rest before taking on the Steelers in Week 8.
