Jackson completed 19 of 28 passes for 161 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions during Sunday's 26-23 overtime win over the Steelers. He added 70 yards on 14 carries and fumbled, but it was recovered by the offense.

Jackson continues to make aggressive plays during his sophomore campaign. Sometimes, that works out like his second-quarter touchdown to Hollywood Brown between multiple defenders early in the second quarter. Sometimes, it doesn't like when Jackson was picked in two of three possessions to end the first half. Jackson's value will always be high because of his ability to use his legs, but five picks in his past two games after none in the season's opening three weeks is certainly a disturbing trend. Things should ease up Sunday against a winless Bengals squad.

Jones completed 21 of 38 pass attempts for 182 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Vikings. He also carried three times for 12 yards.

Jones completed just 55 percent of his passes while averaging an underwhelming 4.8 yards per attempt. He also took four sacks in this rough performance, with the only real highlight of his day coming on a 35-yard touchdown to Darius Slayton in the second quarter. Jones' output has diminished each of the last three weeks, which can partly be attributed to the matchups he's faced. He'll face his toughest one yet Thursday against the Patriots.

Cousins completed 22 of 27 pass attempts for 306 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions during Sunday's 28-10 win over the Giants.

Cousins completed an impressive 81 percent of his passes while averaging 11.3 yards per attempt. He completed touchdown passes of 15 and nine yards to Adam Thielen, who had criticized the signal-caller's play heading into the game. It was a positive sign that Cousins responded with one of the most efficient games of his career while leading the offense to a comfortable road win. He'll have the chance to deliver a followup performance in next Sunday's favorable matchup against the Eagles.

McCoy completed 18 of 27 passes for 119 yards and an interception while rushing twice for 14 yards in Sunday's 33-7 loss to New England.

McCoy was faced with a daunting matchup in his season debut, so he unsurprisingly struggled against a Patriots defense that's arguably the best in the league. A silver lining here is that McCoy showed some promising chemistry with rookie receiver Terry McLaurin, who accounted for 51 of McCoy's 119 yards. It remains to be seen whether McCoy, Case Keenum (foot) or rookie Dwayne Haskins starts under center when the winless Redskins face the winless Dolphins in Week 6.

Dalton completed 27 of 38 pass attempts for 262 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 26-23 loss to Arizona. He also ran for five yards on two carries, and fumbled once but was able to recover the loose ball.

The three-time Pro Bowl quarterback was coming off a nightmarish Monday night outing in which he completed 57 percent of his pass attempts for 171 yards, with zero touchdowns, one interception and a lost fumble in a 27-3 drubbing at the hands of rival Pittsburgh. Sunday, he was effective in the box score and on the field, exceeding 250 passing yards for the fourth time in five outings and leading Cincinnati on back-to-back fourth-quarter touchdown drives to knot it up at 23-23 at the two-minute warning, only to see the Bengals defense concede a game-winning 31-yard kick from Zane Gonzalez. Dalton and the 0-5 Bengals will travel to take on a Ravens defense Week 6 that has allowed 340-plus passing yards in three of its past four outings.

Rudolph, who left Sunday's game with a concussion, is undergoing further evaluation at a hospital, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Rudolph, who appeared to be knocked out cold for a spell after absorbing a helmet-to-helmet hit Sunday, was then helped off the field by trainers before heading to the hospital. The QB's Week 6 status is thus cloudy, with Devlin Hodges representing the next signal-caller up for the team next weekend in the event that Rudolph isn't able to play.

Carr completed 25 of 32 passes for 229 yards during Sunday's 24-21 win over Chicago. He added eight yards on three carries. He also lost a fumble during the contest.

Carr was very efficient but leaned heavily on the run throughout Sunday's game. That said, he came up big during Oakland's game-winning drive, converting a second and long with a 12-yard drop-off to Hunter Renfrow. The Raiders have been better than most anticipated, and Carr is on pace to smash his career high with a 73.3% completion rate. From a fantasy perspective, the results haven't been as great, as he has just six touchdowns in five games and has not reached 250 passing yards since Week 1. Next up Week 7 is a ferocious Packers pass defense.

Winston completed 15 of 27 passes for 204 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Buccaneers' 31-24 loss to the Saints on Sunday. He also rushed three times for 13 yards and fumbled once, although it was recovered by the offense.

Winston turned in a serviceable performance from a fantasy perspective, but Chris Godwin was the only one of his pass catchers with which he enjoyed any real chemistry. Mike Evans couldn't come up with any of the three targets Winston sent his way, and Bobo Wilson was the only other receiver to record a stat through the air. Meanwhile, Winston also benefited from having two interceptions wiped off the books by Saints penalties, underscoring how much difficulty the Buccaneers' passing game has establishing any real continuity. Winston will look to return to the stellar level of production he'd generated over the prior two games when the Bucs travel to London to take on the Panthers in Week 6.

Bridgewater completed 26 of 34 passes for 314 yards with four touchdowns and one interception in the Saints' 31-24 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also rushed five times for seven yards.

After a pair of "game manager" efforts in his first two starts in place of Drew Brees (thumb), Bridgewater went into vintage Brees mode with an outstanding all-around performance. Much like the player he's filling in for, Bridgewater displayed spectacular chemistry with Michael Thomas, connecting with the All-Pro receiver for 11 completions, 182 yards and touchdown passes of 14 and 12 yards. Brees resumed throwing this past week, but he likely still remains at least a couple of weeks away from returning in a best-case scenario. Therefore, Bridgewater will have a chance to build on his stellar effort when he faces the Jaguars in Week 6.

Falk was checked for a concussion and cleared on the sideline at the end of Sunday's loss to the Eagles, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.

That explains why Falk was removed late in the game. While his health is no longer in question for the team's Week 6 matchup with Dallas, the Jets would be in trouble if Falk is the starter given his poor play.
