Stroud completed 13 of 24 pass attempts for 207 yards and a touchdown while rushing four times for 27 yards in Monday's 20-19 loss to Tampa Bay.

Stroud didn't waste much time scoring the Texans' first touchdown of the season after failing to get his team into the end zone against the Rams in Week 1. The 24-year-old dialed up WR Nico Collins for a 27-yard score on Houston's opening drive, but that would end up being his only touchdown of the contest. Stroud failed to capitalize on a golden opportunity on the opponent's one-yard line early in the fourth quarter when he missed on two consecutive throws to turn the ball over on downs. With marginal yardage totals (197.5 passing yards per game) and just one touchdown to one interception through two starts, Stroud has played his way out of starting consideration in standard 1QB formats ahead of Sunday's tilt against Jacksonville.

Mayfield completed 25 of 38 passes for 215 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding three carries for 33 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-19 win over the Texans on Monday night. He also committed a fumble recovered by Tampa Bay.

Mayfield was in danger of a second straight sub-200-yard performance to open the season, but the veteran signal-caller came alive on Tampa Bay's game-winning drive. He took the Bucs a total of 80 yards on 11 plays in just over two minutes, completing seven of nine passes while adding a 15-yard scramble before Rachaad White capped off the march with a two-yard touchdown run. In the second quarter, Mayfield also connected with Emeka Egbuka on a 15-yard scoring pass for the rookie's third touchdown over the first two games. Despite completing just 60.0 percent of his passes through the first pair of contests, Mayfield also will take a sparkling 5:0 TD:INT into a Week 3 home matchup against the Jets on Sunday afternoon.

Martinez reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction report.

With Brock Purdy (toe/shoulder) and Kurtis Rourke (knee) both unavailable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Martinez was elevated to the active roster to serve as the 49ers' backup quarterback behind Mac Jones. Purdy is not expected to play Week 3 against the Cardinals, so Martinez will likely be elevated to the active roster for a second straight week.

Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that Daniels is considered "day-to-day" due to the knee injury that he suffered Thursday at Green Bay, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Quinn added that Daniels underwent an MRI on Friday, and he's "already begun his return-to-play process with us. ... What does that mean for Sunday [against the Raiders]? I can't tell you that now. I'll share more when we get to Wednesday." Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported earlier Monday that Daniels has a sprained knee, but Quinn would only call it a "knee injury," per Commanders writer Ben Standig. If he isn't able to go this weekend, backup Marcus Mariota is on hand to lead the Commanders offense.

Browning appears set to take over as Cincinnati's starting quarterback for at least several weeks, with Joe Burrow (toe) slated to undergo surgery and expected to be facing a three-month recovery timetable, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Browning stepped in to relieve the injured Burrow during Sunday's 31-27 victory over the Jaguars, completing 21 of 32 pass attempts for 241 yards and two touchdowns and three interception while also scoring on a game-winning, one-yard touchdown carry. The presence of the standout receiver duo of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins will assist Browning's efforts to produce while stepping in as Cincinnati's starter under center, beginning with a Week 3 matchup with the Vikings. The Bengals currently have Brett Rypien on the practice squad but are likely to add additional quarterback depth in the near future. While Browning may face additional competition in the weeks to come, he now becomes a priority add in fantasy formats that allow multiple signal-callers to be started.

McCarthy is considered week-to-week after he sustained a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's 22-6 loss to the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

McCarthy didn't fare well in Week 2, completing 11 of 21 passes for 158 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions, turning five carries into 25 yards and losing one of his three fumbles, and now he appears to be headed for some time off. O'Connell told Alec Lewis of The Athletic that Minnesota will get backup QB Carson Wentz ready for Sunday's game against the Bengals in the event McCarthy is inactive.

Wentz could start at quarterback in Sunday's game against the Bengals with the status of J.J. McCarthy (ankle) uncertain, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell hasn't yet ruled out McCarthy for Week 3, but he said Monday that the second-year quarterback's status for the matchup with Cincinnati is unclear due to a high-ankle sprain, leaving Wentz in a position to step in under center. With Joe Burrow (toe) in line for an extended absence of his own, the Week 3 matchup could feature a battle of backup quarterbacks, with Wentz potentially facing off against the Bengals' Jake Browning. Meanwhile, Jordan Addison will finish out his three-game suspension this Sunday, and Aaron Jones (hamstring) appears unlikely to play against Cincinnati, leaving wideouts Justin Jefferson, Jalen Nailor and Adam Thielen, running back Jordan Mason and tight end T.J. Hockenson as the top skill-position weapons available for Week 3.

Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that McCarthy has a sprained ankle, and it's unclear if he'll be available Sunday against the Bengals, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

McCarthy had a rough Week 2, completing 11 of 21 passes for 158 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions while turning five carries into 25 yards and losing one of his three fumbles during Sunday's 22-6 loss to the Falcons. If McCarthy ends up missing Week 3, veteran Carson Wentz is in line to step in and lead the Vikings offense.

Mariota may be tasked with leading the Commanders offense Sunday versus the Raiders as Jayden Daniels deals with a knee sprain, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Daniels was seen limping in the final minutes of Thursday's loss in Green Bay, and an MRI revealed the sprain. DNPs from the starting QB could signal that Mariota is in line for a Week 3 spot start, but Daniels' injury isn't thought to be too serious. In parts of three games last season with the Commanders, Mariota completed 34 of 44 passes for 364 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions and had 18 carries for 92 yards and one TD.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor confirmed Monday that Burrow (toe) will require surgery, though he declined to provide details on an expected recovery timeline for the star quarterback, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic and Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Burrow reportedly suffered a turf toe injury during Sunday's win over the Jaguars and is facing a minimum recovery timetable of three months if he undergoes surgery, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, which could allow him to return in mid-December. The team hasn't yet confirmed either the severity of Burrow's injury or the possibility of him potentially returning this season, according to Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News. Jake Browning will take over under center as long as Burrow is sidelined, priming him to start on the road against Minnesota on Sunday, and the Bengals seem like strong candidates to pursue additional depth at the quarterback position.
