Watson completed 24 of 40 passes for 385 yards, two touchdowns and an interception while adding 36 yards on five carries in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Giants.

Watson failed to lead his team into the end zone in the first half, hitting the break with a 20-6 deficit. He threw a costly interception in the front of the end zone with his team trailing 20-9 early in the fourth quarter, but bounced back on the next drive with a six-yard score to Will Fuller, two plays after a would-be touchdown pass to DeAndre Hopkins was called back due to holding. Watson padded his stats with one second left, finding Lamar Miller for a meaningless four-yard score. He'll hope to lead his team to its first win of the season in Indianapolis next week.

Cousins completed 40 of 55 pass attempts for 296 yards, one touchdown and one interception Sunday against the Bills. He also gained two yards on two carries and lost a pair of fumbles in the 27-6 loss.

Cousins completed an impressive 73 percent of his passes, but he didn't generate a single play longer than 19 yards en route to an underwhelming 5.4 yards per attempt. He fumbled on each of his first two possessions, allowing the Bills to build their lead as they went into halftime with a 27-point cushion. Cousins connected with Kyle Rudolph for a four-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, though the game was well out of hand at that point. It was a frustrating outing for Cousins and his fantasy owners, who were likely salivating at this matchup after two strong games to start the season. He'll look to get back on track Thursday against the Rams.

Mahomes completed 24 of 38 passes for 314 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in a 38-27 win over the 49ers on Sunday. He also rushed five times for seven yards and fumbled once but recovered.

Mahomes demonstrated his versatility in Sunday's contest, as he racked up yet another impressive yardage total without relying on Tyreek Hill. The speedster only logged two receptions for 51 yards and was kept out of the end zone, but Mahomes simply turned to Travis Kelce and Sammy Watkins, connecting with the duo on 13 occasions for 169 yards and a score (to Watkins). The second-year signal-caller hit nine different pass catchers overall, and he now has a jaw-dropping 13:0 TD:INT through three games. Mahomes will look to keep up his unprecedented pace in a Week 4 matchup with the Broncos on Monday Night Football.

Keenum went for 22 of 34 for 192 passing yards and an interception during Sunday's 27-14 loss in Baltimore.

With the Broncos knocking on the Ravens' door midway through the fourth quarter, Denver's faithful could have felt another comeback for Keenum. Instead, he threw off his back foot and gave up a drive-killing interception. Keenum has made a habit of starting slow and depending on moxie to make up for it late. It was too little too late on Sunday, as Baltimore's front knocked him off-kilter. He'll get an easier assignment next Monday night against a porous Kansas City defense, and with the way the Chiefs have been scoring, he'll need to rid himself of his early-game woes to keep up.

Garoppolo is slated to undergo an MRI on Monday, but there are fears he suffered a torn ACL, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

If Garoppolo is forced to miss extended time, C.J. Beathard would take over the 49ers' QB duties and the team would no doubt add depth at the position in short order. Prior to his fourth-quarter injury, Garoppolo completed 20 of 30 passes for 251 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding 23 yards on three rushes and fumbling on three occasions (none lost).

Allen completed 15 of 22 pass attempts for 196 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Vikings. He also carried 10 times for 39 yards and two touchdowns in the 27-6 win.

Starting on the road against one of the league's best defensive units, Allen completed 68 percent of his passes while managing not to turn the ball over, though he nearly lost fumbles on multiple occasions. He completed a 26-yard touchdown pass to Jason Croom while scoring rushing touchdowns in the first and second quarters. It was an impressive bounce-back performance from Allen, who turned the ball over twice against the Chargers in his first NFL start last week. The rookie has also displayed the ability to contribute with his legs, rushing for 97 yards and a pair of touchdowns through three games. Allen's fantasy returns are likely to vary from game to game, but at least this performance could inspire a little confidence in his ability to produce next Sunday against the Packers.

Garoppolo was taken to the locker room on a cart with a left knee injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Garoppolo was shaken up on a hit midway through the fourth quarter and slowly walked to the sideline. After an evaluation in the sideline tent, he promptly was carted to the locker room. The injury is worrisome, to say the least, but little will be known until coach Kyle Shanahan makes his obligatory post-game news conference. If Garoppolo misses any time, the 49ers offense will be lead by C.J. Beathard.

Mariota (elbow) completed 12 of 18 passes for 100 yards while adding 51 yards on seven carries in Sunday's 9-6 win over the Jaguars.

Mariota didn't start the contest, but a helmet-to-helmet hit in the first quarter knocked Blaine Gabbert out and forced Mariota into the game. The second overall selection in the 2015 draft only threw for 10 yards in the first half, but he did add 26 on the ground and led his team to one field goal. He was a bit better after the break, leading the offense to two more field goals, which was enough to eke out a low-scoring win. Mariota is operating at less than 100 percent, so owners are probably better off looking elsewhere even if he gets the start next week against the Eagles.

Garoppolo walked slowly to the sideline during the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest at Kansas City, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

On third and goal from the Chiefs' 20-yard-line, Garoppolo tried to keep his legs churning on a 13-yard run but came up on the losing end on a hit from cornerback Steven Nelson. Garoppolo seemed to tell team trainers that his left leg was the area of the injury before entering the sideline tent, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. If Garoppolo doesn't return, C.J. Beathard will play out the remainder of the game.

Gabbert was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jaguars due to a concussion, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Gabbert started Sunday's game, but he was only out there long enough to complete one of three pass attempts for eight yards. Initially, the Titans had hoped to rest usual starter Marcus Mariota, who has been dealing with an elbow issue. However, he was forced into action in Week 3, given that Tennessee currently rosters just two QBs.
