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.

Wilson completed 23 of 33 passes for 295 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 32-28 win over the Browns. He also ran nine times for 31 yards and a score.

Wilson looked excellent again as he extended plays to notch his 14th passing touchdown and third rushing touchdown in six games. His game was highlighted by a nine-play, 79-yard game-winning drive in the fourth quarter where Wilson threw for 55 yards and scrambled for eight yards before Chris Carson punched in a one-yard score. Wilson's efficiency continues to be superb, as he has at least 8.1 YPA in every contest, and Sunday's 69.7 completion percentage was his second-lowest of the season.

Mayfield completed 22 of 37 passes for 249 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in Sunday's 32-28 loss to the Seahawks. He also ran four times for 35 yards and a score.

Mayfield bounced back from his brutal Week 5 performance, but his interceptions proved to be his downfall in this contest. Two of his picks came in Seattle territory, including one in the red zone. Mayfield had a chance to right his wrongs when the Browns got the ball back with 3:30 remaining, down four points with two timeouts on hand. Unfortunately, Mayfield threw his third interception of the day to K.J. Wright on the second play of the drive, and the Browns never got the ball back. Mayfield enters the bye week banged up, as he exited this game for a bit with a hip injury, although the X-rays came back negative and he returned to the game, according to Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Bridgewater completed 24 of 36 passes for 240 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Saints' 13-6 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. He also netted zero yards on his three rushes.

It was far from a smooth offensive game for either squad, but as he's proven capable of over the last several weeks, Bridgewater did enough to lead the Saints to victory. The veteran remained free of any mistakes and battled through three sacks on the afternoon. Bridgewater also helmed an 11-play, 75-yard fourth-quarter march that knocked 6:22 off the clock and culminated in a four-yard touchdown pass to Jared Cook to seal the win for New Orleans. He also connected with six different pass catchers on the afternoon overall. Bridgewater will look to conquer the thorny challenge that is the Bears defense in a Week 7 matchup if he does indeed draw at least one more start in place of Drew Brees (thumb).

Allen completed 20 of 32 passes for 227 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Panthers' 37-26 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also rushed three times for three yards.

Another week, another victory with Allen at the helm. The second-year quarterback put together his fourth straight interception-free game while hitting a tight rotation of five pass catchers on the day. Allen connected with Curtis Samuel and Christian McCaffrey for his pair of scoring throws and saw an increase in offensive responsibility with McCaffrey being effectively stonewalled on the ground for most of the contest. With news emerging that Allen may remain the quarterback even when Cam Newton (foot) is ready to return, the young signal-caller will head into the bye week with plenty of confidence before resuming play versus the 49ers in Week 8.

Winston completed 30 of 54 passes for 400 yards with one touchdown and five interceptions in the Buccaneers' 37-26 loss to the Panthers on Sunday. He also threw a two-point conversion pass, had a two-point conversion rush and committed two fumbles, losing one.

The stat line says it all for Winston, who may have struck one of the sharpest contrasts between a real-world and fantasy performance in recent memory. The six turnovers are the obvious blemishes from a gameplay standpoint, and they effectively squashed any chance of the Buccaneers seriously threatening in this game past the first quarter. Three of Winston's interceptions came in the second half as the Buccaneers tried to overcome their self-inflicted wounds, with the final one transpiring with 21 seconds remaining and definitively ending any last hope Tampa may have had of mounting a comeback. There will surely be no shortage of questions for head coach Bruce Arians regarding the quarterback position over the upcoming two-week layoff, with Winston now having thrown eight interceptions and fumbling five times overall. Ryan Griffin, who's yet to take a regular-season snap in his career, is Winston's backup with Blaine Gabbert (shoulder) on injured reserve.

McCoy (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game at Miami.

If the Redskins have to make a change at QB on Sunday, as they have in many games this season, McCoy won't be taking the field. Instead, Case Keenum will get the start while rookie Dwayne Haskins serves as his backup.

Rodgers (knee) won't carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Lions, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Rodgers was limited in practice all week, and it appears that was simply precautionary. He'll be under center for Monday's home game, which will decide the leader in the NFC North. In his only full game against the Lions last year, Rodgers threw for 442 yards and three touchdowns.
