  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Packers' Aaron Rodgers: Just shy of 300 passing yards in win

    Rodgers completed 22 of 40 passes for 298 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 22-0 win over Buffalo. He also rushed five times for 31 yards and lost a fumble.

    Rodgers wasn't at his best, but he didn't have to be with Josh Allen and Buffalo's offense unable to get anything going. His lone touchdown was a three-yard pass to tight end Jimmy Graham in the first quarter. While he's still operating at less than 100 percent due to a knee injury, Rodgers should be deployed as usual against Detroit in Week 5.

  • Sam Bradford QB | MIN

    Cardinals' Sam Bradford: Inactive Sunday

    Bradford (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Seahawks, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    As expected, Bradford has yielded the No. 2 job to Mike Glennon after losing the starting QB gig to Josh Rosen last weekend. Unless something happens to the duo, Bradford seems destined to be deactivated on game day for the foreseeable future.

  • Tyrod Taylor QB | GB

    Browns' Tyrod Taylor: Officially inactive Sunday

    Taylor (concussion/back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Taylor lost his starting job when rookie Baker Mayfield replaced him in Week 3 and came back to win against the Jets. Therefore, if he was healthy, Taylor would've been a backup, but Drew Stanton will take that role instead. Once Taylor's healthy again, he'll surely push Stanton back to the No. 3 spot, but Mayfield would have to lay an egg to be dethroned.

  • Jameis Winston QB | NYG

    Buccaneers' Jameis Winston: Returning in backup role

    Winston (suspension) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears, but will serve as the backup quarterback with Ryan Fitzpatrick listed as the team's starter.

    The Buccaneers didn't officially announce their plans at quarterback until minutes before kickoff, but multiple reports have surfaced over the past week suggesting Fitzpatrick would retain the starting nod for at least Week 4. Though that's now come to pass, Fitzpatrick may not have a long leash as the team's starter after coach Dirk Koetter reportedly mulled benching the signal-caller after he threw three second-quarter interceptions in Monday's 30-27 loss to the Steelers. Fitzpatrick rebounded in impressive fashion in the second half and leads the NFL with 11.1 yards per attempt this season, but his occasional turnover-prone ways could open the door for Winston to come on in relief Sunday if Fitzpatrick struggles early on.

  • Titans' Blaine Gabbert: Won't suit up Week 4

    Gabbert (concussion) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Eagles, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Gabbert has been in concussion protocol all week, which prevented him from logging a single practice and greatly diminished his chances of suiting up. With Gabbert on the shelf, the recently-signed Austin Davis would serve as the emergency backup if starter Marcus Mariota (elbow) were to come out of the game for any reason.

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Packers' Aaron Rodgers: Active, as expected

    Rodgers (knee) is active Sunday against the Bills.

    Rodgers has been tagged with a questionable designation for three consecutive weeks, and in a pattern Green Bay fans and fantasy owners have come to expect, he'll suit up yet again for the green and gold. While it's no secret the mobility of Rodgers has been limited due to the injury, he's still managed to throw for six touchdowns and zero interceptions through the season's first three weeks. In each game this season, Rodgers has compiled 265 or more yards, a completion percentage of 61 percent or greater and at least one passing touchdown, giving him a relatively secure fantasy floor despite not playing at 100 percent.

  • Sam Bradford QB | MIN

    Cardinals' Sam Bradford: Likely inactive Sunday

    Bradford is expected to be the Cardinals' No. 3 quarterback moving forward, resulting in inactive status on game days, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports.

    The Cardinals won't officially confirm their Week 4 inactives until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 PM ET kickoff, but Bradford seemingly will be wearing street clothes with the Seahawks in town. Coach Steve Wilks will thus trust in Josh Rosen as the starting quarterback, with Mike Glennon backing up the 2018 first-round pick.

  • Tyrod Taylor QB | GB

    Browns' Tyrod Taylor: Won't serve as backup Sunday

    Taylor (concussion/back) may not be active for Sunday's game against the Raiders with Drew Stanton expected to serve as the backup to starting quarterback Baker Mayfield, Sam Wyche of NFL Network reports.

    Taylor exited the Week 3 game against the Jets with the concussion, clearing the way for Mayfield to guide the Browns to a comeback win and cement himself as the team's new No. 1 signal-caller. It looked as though Taylor would retain the top backup duties in Week 4 after clearing the concussion protocol a few days ago, but the back injury seems to have thwarted those plans. Taylor seems likely to be included among the Browns' inactives this week, but he should supplant Stanton as the No. 2 option once he has made a full recovery from the back issue.

  • Sam Bradford QB | MIN

    Cardinals' Sam Bradford: Healthy for Week 4

    Bradford (pectoral) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    As if getting demoted to backup quarterback behind a rookie wasn't enough, Bradford dealt with a pectoral injury this week, limiting him Wednesday and Thursday before taking every rep Friday. He'll enter the weekend with a clean bill of health, but snaps on Sundays will be difficult to come by unless something befalls Josh Rosen.

  • Marcus Mariota QB | WAS

    Titans' Marcus Mariota: Healthier heading into Week 4

    Coach Mike Vrabel said the Titans hope to have a larger array of plays for Mariota this Sunday against the Eagles, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Mariota donned a glove on his right hand when he entered last Sunday's eventual win at Jacksonville, but downfield throws were not a part of the equation due to lingering issues with his elbow and hand. After Mariota practiced in full this week, Vrabel seems to think such throws will be sprinkled into the game plan Sunday, boosting the prospects of Mariota and the Titans' skill-position talent. There's nowhere to go but up for Mariota on the heels of a 100-yard passing performance Week 3.
