  • Sam Darnold QB | SEA

    Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Remains productive in Week 6 win

    Darnold completed 16 of 27 passes for 295 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding four carries for two yards in the Seahawks' 20-12 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Darnold looked as impressive as usual outside the friendly confines of Lumen Field, averaging 10.9 yards per attempt as he remained aggressive downfield. The veteran signal-caller once again focused the majority of his attention on Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who ended up on the receiving end of half of Darnold's completions and 162 of his yards, not to mention one of his two touchdowns, a perfectly thrown 61-yard strike in the second quarter. Darnold added a nifty 11-yard scoring toss to Cooper Kupp in the fourth quarter, and he'll head into a Week 7 home clash with the Texans on Monday night, Oct. 20 having thrown for multiple touchdowns in four of the last five games.

  • Daniel Jones QB | IND

    Colts' Daniel Jones: Multiple TDs in close win

    Jones completed 22 of 30 passes for 212 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while adding five carries for 20 yards and another score in the Colts' 31-27 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Jones put together another efficient performance that's become par for the course for him in the Colts' scheme. Jones eclipsed the 70.0 percent completion threshold for the fourth time overall in the first six games, and the veteran signal-caller also tossed a pair of touchdown for the second consecutive contest by connecting with Tyler Warren and Josh Downs from eight and five yards out, respectively. Jones added a three-yard scoring rush just before the halfway point of the second quarter, his fourth touchdown on the ground already. Jones will remain a highly coveted option in all formats for a Week 7 road showdown against the Chargers that could develop into a high-scoring affair.

  • Dak Prescott QB | DAL

    Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Excellent in defeat

    Prescott completed 25 of 34 passes for 261 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Panthers. He also rushed twice for minus-1 yard and fumbled once but recovered.

    Prescott continued his excellent season, throwing for three or more touchdowns in his third straight game while also surpassing 250 passing yards for the fourth time in six contests on the campaign. He showed an ongoing strong connection with George Pickens, connecting with him for three gains of more than 30 yards, including scores from 45 and 34 yards away. Prescott's outlook could improve further in Week 7 due to the potential return of CeeDee Lamb (ankle), though Prescott has proven plenty capable of producing without one of his star pass catchers.

  • Justin Herbert QB | LAC

    Chargers' Justin Herbert: Sterling effort in win

    Herbert completed 29 of his 38 pass attempts for 264 yards and two touchdowns in the 29-27 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Despite being under duress for most of the game, Herbert was excellent moving around the pocket and extending time to create enough room to hit Ladd McConkey (7-100-1) on a number of crossing routes, while Oronde Gadsden had his biggest game of his young career as an underneath safety net. The emergence of Kimani Vidal as a legitimate piece of the rushing attack, albeit against a porous run defense, could do wonders to help Herbert steady the ship with multiple offensive lineman banged up with varying injuries.

  • Colts' Anthony Richardson: Sustains orbital eye fracture

    Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that Richardson suffered an orbital eye fracture while warming up prior to Sunday's 31-27 win over the Cardinals, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

    Richardson sustained the injury while working out with elastic bands prior to the contest and was made inactive for the Week 6 game, and he could be at risk of missing additional time, per Stephen Holder of ESPN.com. Rookie Riley Leonard backed up starter Daniel Jones in Sunday's win and could be headed for a multi-game run as the Colts' No. 2 quarterback.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Expected back after bye

    Coach John Harbaugh noted after Sunday's loss to the Rams that Jackson (hamstring) is expected to return to action in Week 8, following the Ravens' bye, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.

    Jackson has missed Baltimore's last two games, but Harbaugh indicated Sunday that his hope and expectation is that the star QB will be available for the team's Oct. 26 game against the Bears. The looming return of Jackson, among others, in Week 8 offers hope that a turnaround can be engineering by the Ravens, who head into their bye week with a 1-5 record. Either way, if Jackson is healthy, he belongs in fantasy lineups.

  • Mac Jones QB | SF

    49ers' Mac Jones: Active, starting again Sunday

    Jones (knee/oblique) is active for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

    During a week in which Jones practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday through Friday due to the oblique injury that he suffered Week 5 and a lingering PCL sprain, he didn't attempt many passes until Friday, at which point the 49ers deemed him questionable for Week 6 action. With No. 1 QB Brock Purdy (toe) out yet again, Jones will earn his fourth start of the season after completing 86 of 129 passes (66.7 percent) for 905 yards, six touchdowns and one interception in his first three opportunities to lead the 49ers offense. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported overnight Saturday that Purdy has "a chance" to return next Sunday night against the Falcons, so Jones' time as San Francisco's starting QB may come to a close after this Sunday's contest.

  • Justin Fields QB | NYJ

    Jets' Justin Fields: Completely neutralized in loss

    Fields completed nine of 17 passes for 45 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed seven times for 31 yards in the Jets' 13-11 loss to the Broncos in London on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by New York.

    Fields' final line tells the tale of how overwhelmed he repeatedly was by a ferocious Broncos defense that put together a signature performance overseas. The veteran signal-caller averaged a minuscule 2.6 yards per attempt while taking a whopping nine sacks, the final one coming on fourth down with under two minutes remaining to seal the loss. Despite Fields falling short of 100 passing yards for the second time already this season -- the first transpired in an injury-shortened Week 2 contest -- Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports head coach Aaron Glenn said following the game he wasn't considering a quarterback change for a Week 7 home matchup against the Panthers next Sunday, although he likely won't hesitate to insert veteran Tyrod Taylor into that contest if the offense continues to struggle.

  • Bo Nix QB | DEN

    Broncos' Bo Nix: Mild output in overseas win

    Nix completed 19 of 30 pass attempts for 174 yards and a touchdown while adding 24 rushing yards on five attempts in Sunday's 13-11 win over the Jets.

    Nix played the role of game manager for Denver in a gritty defensive victory overseas in London. The 25-year-old did not complete a pass for the entirety of the third quarter, which helped contribute to his second-lowest yardage output as a passer this season. On the bright side, Nix was involved in the only touchdown scored for either side Sunday, delivering a 16-yard strike to TE Nate Adkins in the first quarter. With nine touchdowns thrown to four interceptions through six starts, Nix checks in as a middling fantasy option in Week 7 when the Broncos host the Giants next Sunday.

  • Quinn Ewers QB | MIA

    Dolphins' Quinn Ewers: Emergency QB again

    Ewers (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers but will serve as the emergency third QB.

    It's a role that the Texas product has been playing all season behind Tua Tagovailoa and Zach Wilson. Ewers would need those two to get sick, injured or ejected to have a chance to play.
