Ryan Tannehill QB | TEN
Titans' Ryan Tannehill: Leads team to victory
Tannehill completed 23 of 29 pass attempts for 312 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Week 7 against the Chargers.
Tannehill looked competent in his first start with the Titans, working efficiently and leading the team to victory. Though he was often reliant on his receivers to make plays after the catch to rack up yardage, Tannehill showed immediate rapport with both Corey Davis and A.J. Brown. The highlights of his performance came on an eight-yard touchdown pass to Davis and a five-yard scoring toss to Tajae Sharpe. While Tannehill's effort was far from flawless -- he threw an interception and also lost a fumble -- he will almost certainly hang onto the starting job heading into Week 8 and will draw a positive matchup against the Buccaneers.

Russell Wilson QB | NYG
Seahawks' Russell Wilson: Throws first pick
Wilson completed 20 of 41 passes for 241 yards, one touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Ravens. He also rushed three times for 27 yards.
This was an uncharacteristically inefficient outing for Wilson. Over the first six games, Wilson didn't finish below a 64 percent completion rate or 8.1 YPA, but he rang up at 49 percent and 5.9 YPA in this outing. Wilson also threw his first interception of the season in the second quarter, and Marcus Peters ran it back 67 yards for a touchdown. The Seahawks fell to 5-2 on the season, but Wilson is still firmly entrenched in the MVP conversation. He'll has an appealing bounce-back opportunity in Week 8 against the pitiful Falcons secondary.

Mitch Trubisky QB | TEN
Bears' Mitchell Trubisky: Misleading stats
Trubisky went 34-for-54 passing for 251 yards and two touchdowns in Chicago's 36-25 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
For the majority of this game, Trubisky was under heavy pressure without the Saints needing to blitz, and he appeared to have little confidence throwing the ball to anyone other than Allen Robinson. However, garbage time took over late in the game, and he threw a pair of meaningless touchdowns to salvage his fantasy day despite a dreadful performance. Aside from a three-touchdown effort against Washington, he's thrown just two TD passes over four games, and this was the only game he's had with more than 231 passing yards. Until he gets things figured out, he's a difficult player to trust in fantasy lineups.

Teddy Bridgewater QB | DET
Saints' Teddy Bridgewater: Throws two TD passes vs. Bears
Bridgewater completed 23 of 38 pass attempts for 281 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 36-25 win over the Bears.
Faced with a difficult road matchup, Bridgewater completed passes to eight different receivers while averaging a respectable 7.4 yards per attempt. He completed short touchdown passes to Josh Hill and Taysom Hill, giving him his third multi-touchdown game of the season as he posted his second-best yardage total. Now averaging 278 passing yards over the last three games, Bridgewater will enjoy an excellent home matchup against the Cardinals next Sunday.

Lamar Jackson QB | BAL
Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Delivers another big rushing effort
Jackson completed nine of 20 pass attempts for 143 yards while carrying 14 times for 116 rushing yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 30-14 win over the Seahawks.
Jackson completed just 45 percent of his attempts as he finished with a new career low in passing yardage. He was devastating as a runner, however, exceeding 100 rushing yards for the third time this season while averaging 8.3 yards per carry. Jackson broke a tie with an eight-yard rushing score in the third quarter and helped his team salt the game away on the ground. He'll face a difficult matchup against the Patriots next Sunday night, but his outstanding contributions with his legs still make him a viable fantasy play.

Kyler Murray QB | MIN
Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Quiet in win
Murray completed 14 of 21 passes for 104 yards and added 28 yards on 10 carries during Sunday' 27-21 win over the Giants.
Fans who had gotten used to Murray's robust yardage totals during his first six career games, during which he topped 300 total yards four times, probably felt a shock to the system on Sunday, but Murray didn't need to do much Sunday with his defense swarming and running game doing the trick. The rookie delivered a clutch 11-yard run in the third quarter to set up Arizona's third touchdown, but overall it was a quiet outing in the New Jersey muck. Murray has three straight wins against some of the weaker teams in the league. Sunday's matchup against the Saints should be one of Murray's toughest of his young career.
-
Daniel Jones QB | IND
Giants' Daniel Jones: Turns it over thrice in loss
Jones completed 22 of 35 passes for 223 yards, a touchdown and an interception during Sunday's 27-21 loss to Arizona. He added 35 yards on four carries and fumbled the ball three times during the game, losing two.
A calamitous start to the game had the Cardinals leading 17-0 early in the second quarter before Jones dropped a 28-yard touchdown to Rhett Ellison in the middle of three defenders. Jones' rookie season has been dotted with impressive throws and some nice scrambling, but -- as one might expect from a rookie on a mediocre team -- he's struggled with turnovers and sacks. He's turned it over 12 times in six games and has absorbed 18 sacks, eight of them against the Cardinals. Saquon Barkley's gradual return to the flow of the game will undoubtedly relieve some pressure on the promising rookie, but don't expect huge strides too soon.
-
Derek Carr QB | NO
Raiders' Derek Carr: Tosses two touchdowns
Carr completed 22 of 28 passes for 293 yards, two touchdowns and an interception during Sunday's 42-24 loss to Green Bay. He fumbled during the contest and was replaced late by Mike Glennon.
The stat line shows a solid performance by Carr against a tough Packers defense, but the whole complexion of the game would have been different if not for a pair of bone-headed plays by the veteran quarterback. First, late in the second quarter, Carr tried to roll out near the goal line and touch the pylon with the ball for a touchdown only to lose control and fumble it out of the end zone. Later, in the fourth quarter, Carr killed a drive by underthrowing a shot to the end zone while facing double coverage, leading to an interception. Carr has completed a tremendous 74.1 percent of his passes this season but has accounted for just eight touchdowns in six games to go along with seven turnovers. A reprieve comes Sunday against a Texans pass defense that has struggled this season.

Jared Goff QB | DET
Rams' Jared Goff: Three-touchdown day against Atlanta
Goff completed 22 of 37 pass attempts for 268 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 37-10 win against the Falcons. He also logged three yards and a rushing touchdown on three carries.
The two-time Pro Bowl quarterback enjoyed arguably his most efficient outing of the 2019 campaign, absorbing zero sacks, putting up 250-plus passing yards for the fifth time this year, and best of all, accounting for multiple touchdown passes and zero interceptions for the first time since Week 17 of last season. Goff has a strong chance of lighting up the box score once again in his upcoming Week 8 matchup, with the Rams traveling to London to face a Bengals defense that has surrendered 230-plus passing yards in six straight games while forcing just two interceptions all season.

Gardner Minshew QB | ARI
Jaguars' Gardner Minshew: Does enough for third win
Minshew completed 15 of 32 passes for 255 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Bengals. He also rushed nine times for 48 yards and threw a two-point conversion.
Minshew threw for 190 yards in the first half, but all the Jaguars had to show for that output was two field goals and a 7-6 deficit. The rookie quarterback finally got his team into the end zone with a two-yard touchdown pass to Keelan Cole early in the fourth quarter, and Minshew added a two-point conversion to Chris Conley to give Jacksonville a 17-10 lead. Jacksonville's defense took over from there, helping the team improve to 3-4 heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Jets.
