Mahomes said he'll get treatment on his injured left ankle ahead of a Week 6 home game against the Texans, ESPN.com's Adam Teicher reports.

Mahomes was limping around throughout much of the second half in Sunday's 19-13 loss to Indianapolis, including one point in the third quarter when he was barely able to put weight on his left leg after the already-injured ankle was accidentally kicked by a lineman. He never came out of the game, finishing with 321 passing yards and a touchdown, along with three carries for 17 yards. Coach Andy Reid didn't specifically comment on Mahomes' availability for Week 6, but the coach did say he expects his quarterback to be "OK."

Brissett completed 18 of 29 pass attempts for 151 yards and an interception in Sunday's 19-13 win over Kansas City. He rushed six times for nine yards and a touchdown.

Brissett's rushing touchdown helped salvage what was an otherwise quiet passing stat line. From a real football standpoint, the signal caller did an excellent job moving the chains on a consistent basis (25 first downs and 37:15 time of possession) to keep the ball out of Patrick Mahomes' hands as much as possible. Brissett has eclipsed 300 yards just once this season, but his solid 10:3 TD:INT ratio has kept him relevant in two-QB formats. Head coach Frank Reich may ask of more from his quarterback in a home matchup against the Texans following the team's upcoming bye week.

Prescott completed 27 of 44 passes for a career-high 463 yards and two touchdowns with three interceptions in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Packers.

He also gained 27 rushing yards on four carries. After the Cowboys failed to score a point in the first half, Prescott came out firing after the break but ran out of time in his comeback attempt. It's the first time in his career he's lost a game in which he threw for more than 275 yards, and the three picks also tied his previous career-worst performance. Prescott will look to put together a cleaner line next week on the road against a battered Jets defense.

Rodgers completed 22 of 34 passes for 238 yards without a touchdown or interception in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Cowboys.

The veteran quarterback failed to find the end zone for the first time this season, but Rodgers didn't need to sling the ball around much with Aaron Jones dominating out of the backfield. Rodgers could be in line for another muted performance in Week 6 at home against a Lions squad that's been more vulnerable on the ground so far in 2019.

Mahomes completed 22 of 39 pass attempts for 321 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-13 loss to the Colts.

The Colts absolutely dominated the time of possession game (37:15 to 22:45), so the fact that Mahomes eclipsed the 300-yard mark for the fifth consecutive week is a testament to his gun-slinging abilities (14.6 yards per completion). The star quarterback's recent lack of touchdowns (1:0 TD:INT ratio over the last two games) is really the only criticism that can be made in what is shaping up to be another MVP-caliber season. Mahomes was hobbled on multiple occasions after twisting his ankle late in the first half and then having the same foot rolled up on by his own lineman in the third quarter. The 24-year-old was able to tough it out and remain in the contest for its entirety, but it wouldn't be surprising to see his name pop up on the injury report for the first practice this upcoming week. Assuming his ankle doesn't worsen, Mahomes will take on the Texans' middling passing defense (273.2 passing yards allowed per game) and look to get the touchdowns rolling again in Week 6.

Mariota completed 13 of 22 passes for 183 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Week 5 against Buffalo. He also added five rushes for 13 yards.

Despite the return of Taylor Lewan (suspension), Mariota faced consistent pressure and was sacked five times. He did manage a 57-yard completion, though that came on a screenplay to Jonnu Smith with the entirety of the yardage coming after the catch. As has been the case for much of the season, the Titans appeared intent on limiting Mariota, as he now has under 30 pass attempts in four of five games. A big performance doesn't appear likely in Week 6 either, as he will head to Denver to take on the Broncos.

Allen completed 17 of 30 passes for 181 yards and a touchdown in Week 5 against the Jaguars. He also added one carry for four yards.

Allen wasn't particularly aggressive pushing the ball down the field, though he did connect with D.J. Moore for a 52-yard reception. Otherwise, his afternoon was highlighted by an 18-yard connection with Christian McCaffrey that went for Allen's lone touchdown of the game. Even with those two tosses, Allen averaged only 6.0 yards per attempt -- the third consecutive week that mark has declined. Still, he's led the team to a 3-0 record in the absence of Cam Newton (foot), who remains without a timetable for return. Allen looks set to lead the Panthers into their Week 6 contest against the Buccaneers in London.

Minshew completed 26 of 44 pass attempts for 374 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions in Week 5 against the Panthers. He also added seven rushes for 42 yards but did lose three fumbles.

Minshew kept his strong run of fantasy performances going in a tough matchup against the Panthers. Both of his scores went to D.J. Chark, with the first coming from 37 yards away on a beautiful throw just over the outstretched arms of cornerback Ross Cockrell. Notably, Minshew also improved his efficiency, averaging 8.5 yards per attempt after failing to surpass 6.8 in any of his other three starts. While the lost fumbles likely cost the Jaguars a chance to win the game, Minshew is still expected to lead the team into its Week 6 contest against the Saints.

Rudolph (concussion) is home from the hospital and doing well, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports.

Rudolph will still need to clear concussion protocol before he has any chance of suiting up in Week 6, but this is certainly encouraging news after he suffered a scary-looking injury that required a trip to the hospital. Devlin Hodges would start against the Chargers if Rudolph can't go, and Pittsburgh's on bye the week after that.

Watson completed 28 of 33 pass attempts for 426 yards, with five touchdown passes and zero interceptions during Sunday's 53-32 win against the Falcons. He also registered four carries for 47 rushing yards on the afternoon and fumbled twice, but lost neither.

The third-year signal caller has been somewhat of a boom-or-bust fantasy commodity to this point, throwing for 265 or more yards and three-plus touchdown throws in Week 1, 3 and 5, but managing only 319 combined passing yards with zero touchdown passes in his other two outings against Jacksonville and Carolina. The outlook for his upcoming matchup against Kansas City is encouraging, with the Chiefs entering Sunday Night Football ranking among the NFL's 12 toughest defenses in both passing and rushing yards allowed to opposing quarterbacks.
