Garoppolo completed 24 of 33 pass attempts for 243 yards and an interception Sunday against the Rams. He also carried five times for four yards and a touchdown in the 20-7 win.

Garoppolo took what the defense gave him, completing 73 percent of his passes while averaging a modest 7.4 yards per attempt. He threw an unfortunate interception at the goal line in the second quarter and went into halftime tied, but he scored a one-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter to put his team ahead for good. Garoppolo has done enough to win each of his five outings this season, but he's exceeded 250 passing yards just twice and his 7:5 TD:INT leaves plenty to be desired from a fantasy perspective. With that said, he'll face a favorable matchup in next Sunday's road game against the Redskins.

Goff completed 13 of 24 pass attempts for 78 yards and lost a fumble during Sunday's 20-7 loss to the 49ers.

Goff struggled mightily against a ferocious San Francisco defense, completing 54 percent of his passes while averaging an abysmal 3.3 yards per attempt. He was unfortunate to be credited with a fumble on a botched exchange with one of his running backs, but he endured a miserable performance regardless. This was especially surprising given that Goff totaled 913 passing yards over the previous two games combined and now has his full receiving corps available. These circumstances make him a bounce-back candidate for next week's more favorable matchup in Atlanta.

Mariota was replaced by Ryan Tannehill in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.

Prior to being pulled from the contest, Mariota completed seven of 15 passes for 63 yards and two picks. Tannehill will now look to help bring the Titans back from a 13-0 deficit, and if he shows well, he could enter the Week 7 starting conversation.

Dalton completed 21 of 39 pass attempts for 235 yards and committed one interception during Sunday's 23-17 loss to Baltimore. He also logged a two-yard rushing touchdown on the afternoon.

Dalton has endured two zero-passing touchdown outings over the past three weeks, while the Bengals have mustered a total of just 20 points in two interdivision matchups thus far in 2019. Behind an offensive line that is down Cordy Glenn (concussion) and Andre Smith (ankle), Dalton absorbed a surprisingly low five QB hits and two sacks against the Ravens, after the Bengals surrendered four sacks per game between Weeks 1 and 5. Up next, Dalton may find it challenging to move the ball against a Jacksonville defense that has contained opposing quarterbacks to 361 total passing yards and two touchdowns the past two weeks, after giving up a combined 607 passing yards to Tennessee and Denver during the two outings prior.

Minshew completed 14 of 29 pass attempts for 163 yards with no touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 13-6 loss to New Orleans.

The Vegas pundits were evidently drinking the proverbial Kool-Aid on "Minshew Mania," as the Jaguars entered Sunday's tilt against the 4-1 Saints as 1-to-2-point favorites in many sportsbooks. Minshew has regressed to the mean after a red-hot start to the season, completing less than 60 percent of his passes in three consecutive games after establishing a 73.9 percent completion rate between Weeks 1 and 3. His 9:2 TD:INT ratio is impressive, but the rookie signal-caller entered Sunday tied with Kyle Allen for an NFL-worst four lost fumbles. That is one aspect that Minshew will need to clean up in order to give the 2-4 Jaguars a chance to creep back into the playoff mix. In Week 7, he and the Jacksonville passing attack will be opposing a Bengals defense that has allowed 235-plus passing yards in five straight outings.

Jackson completed 21 of 33 pass attempts for 236 yards while carrying 19 times for 152 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 23-17 win over the Bengals.

Jackson was electric with the ball in his hands, gashing Cincinnati's run defense repeatedly as he set a new career high in rushing yardage. He played his second turnover-free game of the season and his passing output was in line with his season average. This excellent rushing performance puts Jackson on pace for over 1,200 yards on the ground this season, putting him in elite company among quarterbacks, and his ability to limit turnovers while contributing through the air makes him quite valuable from a fantasy perspective. He will look to build on this effort next Sunday on the road against the Seahawks.

Keenum completed 13 of 25 passes for 166 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 17-16 win over Miami. He added 10 yards on four carries.

Even against a leaky Dolphins defense, Keenum didn't pile on the yards, but he did enough to get Washington the win, lofting up a 25-yard touchdown to Terry McLaurin early in the second quarter and then hitting the rookie for a second score, a 33-yarder, early in the third quarter. Keenum had an ugly Week 3 against a very talented Bears defense, but has otherwise been solid for a Washington team with more significant issues elsewhere on the roster. Keenum was just good enough to best a winless Miami team Sunday, but he'll need to step up his game to top a 49ers defense that has frustrated opposing quarterbacks this season.

Watson completed 30 of 42 pass attempts for 280 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions Sunday against the Chiefs. He also carried 10 times for 42 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the 31-24 win.

Watson completed an impressive 71 percent of his pass attempts, but he didn't create many big plays through the air and finished averaging 6.7 yards per attempt. He completed his lone touchdown pass in the second quarter to Duke Johnson and added a pair of short rushing scores, including the one that decided the game midway through the fourth quarter. Since struggling in Week 4, Watson has bounced back in a big way, totaling 795 yards of total offense while accounting for eight touchdowns in the last two games. He'll look to continue his recent success next Sunday against the Colts.

Mahomes completed 19 of 35 pass attempts for 273 yards, three touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Texans.

Mahomes struggled a bit by his lofty standards, averaging 7.8 yards per attempt while completing an underwhelming 54 percent of his passes. He also notably threw his first interception of the season on a deep ball into the end zone in the second quarter, ending a long streak of turnover-free play. Moreover, he took a few shots during the game, including one which seemed to briefly aggravate the ankle injury that has bothered him of late. Still, Mahomes showed a strong rapport with the returning Tyreek Hill and threw three TD passes for the first time since Week 3. His next opportunity to produce will come Thursday against the Broncos.

Cousins completed 22 of 29 passes for 333 yards with four touchdowns and one interception in the Vikings' 38-20 win over the Eagles on Sunday. He also netted zero yards on his two rushes.

Cousins exceeded the 300-yard mark for the second straight week and also threw a season-high number of touchdown passes. The veteran quarterback had his connection with Stefon Diggs working on all cylinders in the first half, hitting the speedy receiver for scoring throws of 62 and 51 yards in the second quarter. He made it a trifecta when he connected with Diggs again in the third quarter from 11 yards out to extend the Vikings' lead after Philadelphia had closed to within 24-20. Cousins now boasts a 6:1 TD:INT over his last pair of contests and will look to stay hot in a divisional showdown against the Lions in Week 7.
