Trubisky completed 16 of 27 passes for 120 yards while adding eight yards on the ground in Sunday's 16-14 victory over the Broncos.

After throwing the ball way too much in a Week 1 loss, a low-scoring contest allowed Trubisky to throw the ball very infrequently. And then once the Bears took the lead late in the third quarter, the team turned even more run heavy than it was previously. Aside from games in which Chicago will be forced into a shootout or playing from behind, he's looking like a fantasy backup with moderate upside.

Garoppolo completed 17 of 25 passes for 297 yards, three touchdowns and an interception during Sunday's 41-17 win over the Bengals. He added eight yards on four carries.

Garoppolo didn't put up big numbers in the 49ers Week 1, so he corrected the records on his second shot of the season. The Bengals didn't put up much resistance early, giving Garoppolo a wide open Marquise Goodwin for a 38-yard touchdown. Garoppolo had an ill-advised pick during the contest, but it was undoubtably an improvement over the opener. Next up Sunday is a Pittsburgh defense that has struggled early this season.

Sudfeld (wrist) is listed as inactive Sunday in Atlanta, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Despite being tabbed with limited participation on each Week 2 injury report, Sudfeld wasn't a candidate to retain his role as Carson Wentz's primary backup. Sudfeld will continue to work his way back from Aug. 9 surgery on a broken left wrist, starting Wednesday as the Eagles prepare to host the Lions next Sunday.

Dalton completed 26 of 42 passes for 311 yards, two touchdowns and an interception during Sunday's 41-17 loss to the 49ers.

Even with A.J. Green (ankle) out of commission, Dalton has managed an impressive 729 yards and four touchdowns through two weeks in head coach Zac Taylor's scheme. Dalton should keep tossing it for a struggling Bengals team, but it's fair to wonder how much longer Dalton can handle the beating he's been getting. He has nine sacks through two games and got slammed a few times against the 49ers. Next up is a stingy Buffalo defense.

Rodgers completed 22 of 34 pass attempts for 209 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 21-16 win over the Vikings.

Rodgers completed 65 percent of his passes while averaging a lackluster 6.1 yards per attempt, playing second fiddle at times to a rushing attack that piled up 144 yards. However, he still managed to connect with Geronimo Allison and Jamaal Williams for touchdowns and saw Davante Adams surpass the 100-yard mark against a tough Vikings defense. Rodgers has faced a pair of difficult matchups to start the season and will face another solid opponent next Sunday when the Broncos visit Lambeau.

Allen completed 19 of 30 passes for 253 yards and a touchdown while adding 21 yards and a touchdown on seven rushing attempts in Sunday's 28-14 win over the Giants.

Allen found paydirt with his legs for the second straight week, this time doing so from six yards out on a designed quarterback sweep in the first quarter. He then got credited for a passing score on a touch pass to Isaiah McKenzie, which McKenzie proceeded to take 14 yards to the house. After rushing for 631 yards and eight touchdowns in 12 games as a rookie, Allen continues to be a force on the ground with a rushing touchdown in each of his first two games this season. He's also exceeded 250 passing yards in both games after failing to reach that mark in any 2018 contest.

Prescott completed 26 of 30 pass attempts for 269 yards and three touchdowns with one interception Sunday against the Redskins. He also carried five times for 69 yards in the 31-21 win.

Prescott was masterful in this one, as he completed an impressive 87 percent of his passes while averaging a healthy 9.0 yards per attempt. He completed a long touchdown pass to Devin Smith in the first quarter before hooking up with Jason Witten and Amari Cooper for shorter scores. Prescott also capped off his outstanding performance with a big day as a runner, thanks in large part to a career-best 42-yard gain at the end of the first half. He seems to be flourishing under new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore and will face a terrific matchup next Sunday at home against the Dolphins.

Watson completed 16 of 29 pass attempts for 159 yards, while adding five yards and one rushing touchdown on four carries during Sunday's 13-12 win against the Jaguars. He also fumbled twice, but neither loose ball was recovered by Jacksonville.

Watson salvaged some fantasy value by accounting for a two-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter, but he was far less explosive as a passer in what was a more challenging Week 2 matchup compared to an opener against a New Orleans defense that gave up 12 more passing touchdowns than Jacksonville in 2018. Sunday marked the first time since Week 7 of last season that Watson was contained to fewer than 200 passing yards, and that performance, too, came against the Jaguars. Watson's upcoming matchup against Los Angeles is a bounce back opportunity, as the Derwin James-less Chargers have given up two passing touchdowns in each of the first two weeks of the season.

Murray completed 25 of 40 passes for 349 yards and a two-point conversion during Sunday's 23-17 loss to Baltimore. He added four yards on three carries and recovered his own fumble.

Murray became the only rookie to open his career with back-to-back 300-yard performances since Cam Newton in 2011. The rookie was dealing Sunday, including on a 54-yard deep shot to Larry Fitzgerald and a two-point conversion to KeeSean Johnson in which the rookie faded back and still had enough arm to fit the ball in the back of the end zone. That's probably not how they teach it in Arizona, but Murray has unique arm talent. Moving forward to a tough Week 3 matchup against Carolina, it will be worth watching whether the Cardinals unleash Murray the runner after he compiled just 17 rushing yards through his first two games.

Jackson completed 24 of 37 passes for 272 yards and two touchdowns while adding 120 yards on 16 carries during Sunday's 23-17 win over the Cardinals.

Those looking for the wheels to fall of the dynamic sophomore after a Week 1 beatdown of the hapless Dolphins were disappointed as Jackson came out dealing against the Cardinals. The Louisville product showed some polish early, executing a nice pump fake in the flat to set up a wide-open 27-yard touchdown pass to Mark Andrews in the first quarter. He wasn't perfect, including an overthrow on an attempted fourth-down conversion, but Jackson is a truer dual threat than he was as a rookie. Detractors will point out that he has yet to come across a highly ranked defense. Whether or not that criticism is valid, the good news is he won't face one in Week 3's matchup against Kansas City.
