  • Mitch Trubisky QB | TEN

    Bears' Mitchell Trubisky: Fails to find end zone

    Trubisky completed 22 of 35 passes for 220 yards and one interception in Sunday's 16-14 victory over the Cardinals.

    The Bears fell behind by 14 points early, forcing Trubisky to have to throw the ball often, but he consistently was off-target when throwing downfield passes. Once the defense toughened up, helping Chicago get back into the contest, they were able to lean upon their rushing attack to get the victory, relegating the quarterback to game-manager duties. Through three games, he's averaging fewer than 200 passing yards and less than one touchdown, making him a low-upside fantasy option. He'll face the Buccaneers in Week 4.

  • Russell Wilson QB | NYG

    Seahawks' Russell Wilson: Tosses two touchdowns in home debut

    Wilson completed 16 of 26 passes for 192 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-13 win over Dallas.

    Wilson has put up respectable fantasy numbers thus far -- seven touchdown passes -- especially given the state of Seattle's offensive line, lack of a ground game and missing Doug Baldwin (knee). The running game finally got on track a bit, though, as Chris Carson ran for 102 yards Sunday, although it took him 32 carries to get there. Surprisingly, Wilson hasn't done much as a runner himself, rushing for just 21 yards in three games. In Week 4, Wilson will take on the Cardinals in Arizona.

  • Dak Prescott QB | DAL

    Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Another lackluster performance

    Prescott completed 19 of 34 pass attempts for just 168 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 24-13 loss at Seattle. He also rushed two times for 21 yards.

    Prescott once again had a tough time generating much offense, failing to orchestrate a touchdown drive until midway through the fourth quarter. His struggles haven't been isolated to the 2018 season, though, as he posted an ugly 1:4 TD:INT over the final three weeks of last year. With a retooled and only moderately talented receiving corps, it's hard to get excited about Prescott moving forward. His rushing ability does help his fantasy value to a certain degree, however. The third-year quarterback has a nice matchup Week 4 against the Lions, who have not played well on defense so far in 2018.

  • Sam Bradford QB | MIN

    Cardinals' Sam Bradford: Benched in fourth quarter

    Bradford was replaced by Josh Rosen in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Bears, finishing 13-for-19 passing for 157 yards with two touchdowns, two interceptions and a lost fumble.

    After tossing a pair of scores in the opening quarter, Bradford saw three consecutive drives end with punts to close out the first half. He then turned the ball over on three straight series coming out of the break, eventually giving way to Josh Rosen for the final five minutes of the game. The rookie completed four of seven passes for 36 yards and an interception, but he did nearly march the Cardinals into field-goal range right around the two-minute warning. It won't come as any surprise if Bradford is relegated to the backup job for Week 4 against Seattle, though coach Steve Wilks declined to commit to a starter when talking to the media after Sunday's loss, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

  • Jared Goff QB | DET

    Rams' Jared Goff: Tosses three touchdowns

    Goff completed 29 of 36 attempts for 354 yards with three touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 35-23 win over the Chargers.

    Goff started off hot, completing 15 passes for nearly 200 yards in a little over a quarter of action. He did make a mistake in the second quarter, however, tossing an interception in the end zone. Goff's touchdown rate is on pace from last season, but his passing yardage is way up so far, averaging over 300 yards per game. In an elite offense with a plethora of playmakers, Goff should continue to put up good numbers, and he'll look to do so Thursday against the Vikings.

  • C.J. Beathard QB | JAC

    49ers' C.J. Beathard: Likely in line for starting assignment

    Head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed confidence in Beathard as his potential starting quarterback moving forward in the wake of the potential season-ending knee injury suffered Sunday by Jimmy Garoppolo, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Beathard figures to get the call Week 4 versus the Chargers at a minimum, with the high likelihood he's needed for much longer than that if Garoppolo has suffered a torn ACL as currently feared. Beathard was serviceable after being thrown into the No. 1 job during his rookie 2017 campaign, compiling between 201 and 294 yards in five of six starts while generating a 4:6 TD:INT. The Iowa product also displayed impressive mobility, rushing for more than 20 yards in three of his starts. Beathard will have a solid group of weapons to work with if he does take the reins of the offense, with Marquise Goodwin, Matt Breida and George Kittle particularly offering game-breaking upside, and the likes of Pierre Garcon and Alfred Morris serving as steady veteran assets. More definitive information on Garoppolo's status -- and by extension, Beathard's -- should be revealed at some point Monday.

  • Ryan Tannehill QB | TEN

    Dolphins' Ryan Tannehill: Throws three TD passes versus Raiders

    Tannehill completed 17 of 23 pass attempts for 289 yards and three touchdowns Sunday against the Raiders. He also carried three times for 26 yards in the 28-20 win.

    Tannehill completed 74 percent of his passes while posting an impressive 12.6 yards per attempt. He completed a 34-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Stills in the second quarter, adding an 18-yard strike to Jakeem Grant in the third and a 74-yard bomb to Albert Wilson in the fourth. Tannehill also looked spry on a trio of runs and finished as the team's leading rusher. This performance continues what's been a solid start to the season for the 30-year-old, who's accounted for five touchdowns, 70 rushing yards and just one turnover over the last two weeks. Tannehill has been instrumental in his team's 3-0 start and will look to keep it going Sunday against the Patriots.

  • Derek Carr QB | NO

    Raiders' Derek Carr: Commits two turnovers in loss to Dolphins

    Carr completed 27 of 39 pass attempts for 345 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Dolphins.

    Carr helped his team to a fast start by orchestrating a 75-yard touchdown drive to start the game, capping it off with a 12-yard pass to Jordy Nelson. His turnovers hurt the team, however, including a costly interception in the red zone as his team looked to take the lead with less than three minutes left on the clock. Carr posted a healthy yardage total once again and is averaging 312 passing yards per game through three weeks, but his 2:5 TD:INT ratio leaves a lot to be desired. He'll look to get going in Week 4 against Cleveland.

  • Andy Dalton QB | PHI

    Bengals' Andy Dalton: Picked off four times in loss

    Dalton completed 29 of 46 passes for 352 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions in Sunday's 31-21 loss to Carolina.

    Dalton led his team down the field for a Giovani Bernard rushing touchdown on the opening drive, but he was picked off on an ill-advised 3rd-and-17 throw on the ensuing possession. The Red Rifle made up for that error one drive later, executing a beautiful fake handoff before hitting C.J. Uzomah for a one-yard score. He was picked off again on a tipped pass in the third quarter, and once again made amends on the next possession with a 27-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Boyd. Unfortunately for Dalton, the mistakes piled up as he threw interceptions on his team's final two possessions of the game. Top wide receiver A.J. Green exited the contest with a groin injury in third quarter, and Dalton would be very tough to trust next week in Atlanta if Green can't go.

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Packers' Aaron Rodgers: Survives Week 3 loss

    Rodgers (knee) completed 27 of 44 passes for 265 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Packers' 31-17 loss to the Redskins on Sunday. He also rushed twice for 13 yards.

    Already significantly limited by his sprained left MCL coming in, Rodgers also appeared to hurt his right hamstring at one point in the contest, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. However, the perennial Pro Bowler subsequently denied having suffered any further injury, according to Demovsky. Rodgers did look significantly hampered overall any time he tried to move around, but as was the case in a Week 2 tie with the Vikings, he managed to gut it out through four quarters and still turn in a solid fantasy line. There are no signs Rodgers plans on taking any time off to heal, so he'll be in play once again in a Week 4 matchup against the Bills at Lambeau Field.
