Garoppolo completed 24 of 33 passes for 264 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Cardinals.

Garoppolo mostly settled for short gains after producing 10 points on his first two drives, but he did remain accurate throughout the night and kept the ball moving. As a bonus for owners in PPR leagues, he caught one of his own deflected passes for a three-yard gain, also adding 12 yards on four carries, though he did lose a fumble. With Rob Gronkowski (hamstring) unavailable for a road matchup against a tough defense, six Patriots had between four and seven targets, and LeGarrette Blount got 22 carries. Garoppolo's remaining three starts will all come at home, beginning with a Week 2 matchup against a Dolphins team that nearly pulled off an upset in Seattle on Sunday.

Stafford completed 31-of-39 pass attempts for 340 yards and three touchdowns in the Lions' 39-35 victory over the Colts. He also added five yards on the ground across two rushing attempts.

Not only did Stafford pick apart Indianapolis' injury-marred secondary for his highest yardage total since Week 6 of 2015, along the way he passed both Peyton Manning and Kurt Warner to reach second in NFL history for most passing yards by a quarterback in his first 100 games played. More impressive, though, was Stafford's composure in the fourth quarter. After Detroit managed to blow a 21-3 lead, they eventually found themselves trailing the Colts 34-35 thanks to a missed extra point by Lions K Matt Prater following the team's fifth score. However, down one with 37 seconds left in regulation, Stafford demonstrated great poise by completing three passes to three different receivers and setting Prater up for the game-winning field goal. Overall, Stafford continues to look comfortable and efficient in OC Jim Bob Cooter's newly-designed, Calvin Johnson-less offensive scheme that appeared on Sunday to revolve around getting everyone involved in the passing game, as five players each garnered at least four receptions, but none topped the team-high of seven. Up next is Detroit's home-opener against a Titans team that held Vikings QB Shaun Hill to 54.5 percent passing and zero touchdowns Week 1.

Prescott completed 25 of 45 pass attempts for 227 yards without a touchdown in Sunday's 20-19 loss to the Giants. He didn't turn the ball over, and finished with 12 rushing yards on two carries.

Prescott seemed to have a touchdown pass to Dez Bryant in the second quarter, but the play was overturned, as Bryant bobbled the ball at bit while in the back of the end zone. While fantasy owners are surely disappointed by Prescott's final stat line, he showed poise and made some nice throws, primarily using Jason Witten and Cole Beasley. The rookie QB actually had the Cowboys in a position to potentially kick the game-winning field goal in the closing seconds, but Terrance Williams failed to get out of bounds on the Giants' side of the field. Next week, he'll face another divisional foe in Washington.

Wilson completed 27 of 43 passes for 258 yards, one touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 12-10 win against Miami. He also lost a fumble and ran four times for 16 yards.

It was a struggle for Wilson for most of the game, and to make matters worse, he seemed to hurt his ankle at one point in the second half. He didn't miss any action though, and ultimately tossed a two-yard touchdown pass to Doug Baldwin with 35 seconds left to win the game. The 43 pass attempts were a career high for Wilson, who surprisingly had a tough time moving the ball. Assuming his ankle injury is not a big deal, he'll look to improve next week against the Rams.

Tannehill completed 16 of 29 passes for 186 yards with no touchdowns in Sunday's 12-10 loss at Seattle. He did rush five times for 17 yards and a touchdown.

Tannehill didn't look sharp for most of the game, as Miami had just three points through the first 45 minutes. He was able to make some key plays late in the fourth quarter, including a short touchdown run that gave the Dolphins a 10-6 lead. The Seahawks scored with just 35 seconds left, however, and Tannehill couldn't do anything on the team's final possession. The young signal caller could have had a much bigger game, but Kenny Stills dropped a long touchdown pass in the first half. It probably won't get a lot easier next week at New England, which will be making its home debut.

Mariota completed 25 of 41 passes for 271 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's season-opening loss to the Vikings. He added four carries for 19 yards, but also lost a fumble.

Mariota spread the ball around beautifully, hitting seven different receivers to reach the fourth-highest passing yardage total of his career. Both of the second-year quarterback's turnovers were returned for touchdowns, showing that he still needs to work on taking care of the ball after throwing 10 interceptions and losing six of 10 fumbles in 12 games as a rookie. Twenty of his 25 completions came to players who weren't on the Titans roster last season, showing that the team's offseason additions have raised the passing game's ceiling.

Taylor threw for just 111 yards on 15-of-22 passing, and added a measly 11 yards on five carries in Sunday's 13-7 loss at Baltimore.

Baltimore's defense did a masterful job of containing the dual-threat quarterback, limiting every aspect of his game. Taylor rushed for fewer than 11 yards only once last season, and passed for under 111 just one time as well. This is a terrible start, but his upside as a runner still makes the 27-year-old signal caller a viable option Thursday against a Jets defense with little time to prepare.

Winston completed 23 of 33 passes for 281 yards with four touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 31-24 victory over the Falcons. He added three rushing yards on four carries.

The sophomore signal-caller could hardly have gotten off to a better start in a 2016 campaign that is laden with high expectations. Winston showed impressive rapport with Mike Evans, including on a spectacular 45-yard bomb in the third quarter, while also spreading the ball around to seven additional receivers. He put his options to full use in the red zone, connecting with forgotten man Brandon Myers for a four-yard score, hitting versatile back Charles Sims for another touchdown and finding the oft-maligned but talented Austin Seferian-Jenkins for a beautiful diving 30-yard touchdown reception as well. Winston showed impressive resolve in bouncing back from his one mistake, a first-quarter pick by Desmond Trufant on a throw intended for Vincent Jackson. After an offseason of intense preparation that included a notable weight loss, Winston looks primed for a breakout campaign if his Week 1 performance is any indication.

Dalton completed 23 of 30 passes for 366 yards with a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 23-22 win over the Jets. He also added seven rushing yards on three carries.

Dalton was having a rough go of it early, but got it going after finding A.J. Green down the middle for a 54-yard score early in the second quarter. While New York's defensive pressure kept the Red Rocket off balance in his first meaningful action since Week 14 of the 2015 season with seven sacks, he was able to exploit a vulnerable secondary by picking up yardage in chunks en route to his 18th career 300-yard passing game. Almost half of that total went to Green, indicating that the sixth-year quarterback's connection with his top receiver is as strong as ever.

Shaun Hill has officially been announced as Minnesota's starting quarterback Sunday at Tennessee, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Bradford will be active as the backup quarterback.

Hill and Bradford split snaps with the first-team offense at quarterback during practice last week. However, Hill will get the nod with Bradford having only a week of practice with his new team after being traded from Philadelphia. Bradford is likely to move into the starting job Week 2 against Green Bay. It's also possible Bradford could get some playing time Sunday if the game becomes lopsided.
