Peterman has a new teammate after the Bills signed veteran Derek Anderson to a one-year deal Tuesday.

The Bills haven't given Anderson an exact role yet, and there's a chance he's around more to serve as a mentor for the two younger quarterbacks on the team: Peterman and prized rookie Josh Allen. We'll see if there's eventually a pecking order to it all, but if you're resting your fantasy hopes on who the No. 2 quarterback is in the league's worst-ranked passing offense will be, this may not be your year for a title.

Watson sustained a chest injury in Sunday's 19-16 overtime victory over the Cowboys and is considered day-to-day heading into the Week 6 matchup with the Bills, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The Cowboys registered one sack and 10 quarterback hits on Watson, who also took a number of hard blows en route to running for 40 yards on 10 carries in the contest. While he was ultimately able to stay in the game and guide the Texans to their second straight overtime win, it's no surprise that he's feeling a little banged up now that the adrenaline has worn off. His practice reps could be managed carefully this week as a result, but there's nothing yet to indicate the Texans are fearing his absence for the showdown with the Bills.

Watson completed 33 of 44 passes for 375 yards with one touchdown and one interception during Sunday's 19-16 overtime victory over the Cowboys. He also rushed 10 times for 40 yards.

Watson's stats don't fully indicate how well he played against a tough Cowboys defense that entered the game having allowed the fifth-fewest offensive yards per game (306.3) and put constant heat on the quarterback all game. It's a feat in itself that Watson only allowed himself to be sacked once. Fantasy owners would have liked to have seen Watson break the plane on multiple rushing attempts on which he was stopped at the goal line -- as well as convert on a failed fourth-and-goal pass in the first half. Still, the second-year signal caller appears 100 percent healthy (though he did take several tough hits Sunday) and has made visible strides in his development as a passer. Next up is a Week 6 tango with a Bills team that has yet to allow a 300-yard passer in 2018.

Prescott completed 18 of 29 passes for 208 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions during Sunday's 19-16 overtime loss to the Texans. He also rushed six times for 34 yards.

Prescott's unfortunate trouble with deflected interceptions continued Sunday, as the quarterback had two more passes bounce off his receivers' hands and into the possession of the other team -- which was exactly the case with Prescott's two other interceptions on the year. Furthermore, the third-year quarterback again posted underwhelming passing stats, including a 62.1 percent completion rate and 7.2 YPA. At this point, there's no question the Cowboys offense is at its best when it commits to feeding running back Ezekiel Elliott, and it'd be a surprise if Dallas opted to do anything else in Week 6 when the Jaguars' elite passing defense comes to town.

Beathard completed 34 of 54 passes for 349 yards, with two touchdowns and a pair of interceptions in Sunday's 28-18 loss to Arizona. He also scored a touchdown on the ground, lost two fumbles and was sacked four times.

It was truly a mixed bag for Beathard, as he accounted for three touchdowns and four turnovers. His fourth-quarter fumble was returned for a touchdown, essentially ending any hopes the 49ers had at a comeback. Dating back to last year, Beathard's career TD:INT ratio is an ugly 8:10, but at least he's producing from a fantasy perspective. He'll look to put up big numbers again in Week 6 at Green Bay.

Cousins completed 30 of 37 pass attempts for 301 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's game against the Eagles. He also carried five times for one yard and lost a fumble in the 23-21 win.

Cousins completed an impressive 81.1 percent of his passes and spread the ball around to eight different receivers. He threw a three-yard touchdown pass to Adam Thielen in the second quarter and later committed a fumble in his own territory, though the defense bailed him out by forcing a punt. Cousins has gone two straight games without throwing an interception and now has an 11:2 TD:INT through five games. He'll look to continue his strong start to the season next Sunday against the Cardinals.

Rodgers said after Sunday's loss to the Lions that his knee is "a little more sore today than the last couple of weeks," Zachary Jacobson of KLGR 1490 AM reports.

Rodgers was already dealing with a sore knee coming into Sunday's game, and the situation was made worse after the quarterback was awkwardly dragged down on a first-quarter scramble. Rodgers was seen adjusting his knee brace on multiple occasions thereafter trying to get comfortable. Green Bay conveniently has an extra day of rest this coming week since the team's Week 6 matchup with the 49ers isn't until Monday, Oct. 15, but don't be surprised if Rodgers isn't allowed to practice in a full capacity leading up to the game.

Wilson completed 13 of 21 passes for 198 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Rams.

With Seattle's ground attack having another productive game, Wilson didn't need to air it out much, recording a season low in pass attempts. He did throw a number of beautiful deep balls, including a 44-yard pass and 39-yard touchdown to Tyler Lockett. After failing to throw a touchdown in Week 4 at Arizona, Wilson obviously rebounded nicely, although Doug Baldwin (knee) has not gotten on track yet, catching his lone target for one yard. In Week 6, Wilson will play the Raiders on the road.

Goff completed 23 of 32 passes for 321 yards with one touchdown and a pair of interceptions in Sunday's 33-31 win at Seattle. He added five carries for 15 yards.

A week after putting up career numbers, Goff made some nice throws in a tough environment, although Todd Gurley did most of the scoring with three rushing touchdowns. The Rams rolled the dice late in the game, going for it on 4th-and-one around midfield, and Goff responded with a couple of yards on a quarterback sneak to ice the game. Both Brandin Cooks and Cooper Kupp left the game with a concussion, so that is something to monitor heading into a Week 6 road game against the struggling Broncos.

Carr completed 24 of 33 passes for 268 yards with a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 26-10 loss to the Chargers.

Carr's goal-line interception late in the third quarter essentially sealed the game, but he did at least bounce back with a one-yard touchdown pass to Jordy Nelson to pad his stat line in garbage time. It didn't help that the Chargers held a comfortable advantage in time of possession, and Amari Cooper surprisingly drew just a single target. A Week 6 home game against Seattle will be the next challenge for Carr in a disappointing, inconsistent 2018 campaign.
