Rodgers completed 31 of 42 pass attempts for 294 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's game against the Cowboys. He also lost a fumble in the 30-16 loss.

Rodgers was quite efficient and tossed for a season-high in yardage, but two turnovers-- a fumble at the opponent's four-yard line and an interception near midfield-- proved to be crucial to the outcome of the game. He has struggled to consistently produce numbers this season that are comparable to those that have made him a fantasy force over the last several years and will look to break out next week versus the division-rival Bears.

Cousins completed 18 of 34 passes for 263 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Eagles.

Cousins connected with Jamison Crowder and Vernon Davis for first-half touchdowns, and was able to overcome a 64-yard pick-six by Malcolm Jenkins en route to a fourth consecutive victory. Cousins threw for multiple scores for the third time in 2016, and he seemed to benefit from a running game that racked up 230 yards on the ground. With a 8:3 TD:INT ratio during the current winning streak, Cousins will look to keep it rolling against a Lions secondary that was torched by the lowly Rams this week.

Keenum completed 27 of 32 passes for 321 yards, three touchdowns and one interceptions in Sunday's game against the Lions. He added seven yards and a touchdown on three carries in the 31-28 loss.

In a competitive game that was close throughout, Keenum came through with his finest performance of the season. He spread the ball around to seven different receivers, although nearly half of his yardage and two scores came from Kenny Britt. Keenum tossed multiple touchdowns for the third time this season, but he has not reached the end zone in the other three, illustrating inconsistent usage and performance to this point. However, he has had his three most prolific yardage in his last three games, with his production trending up during that span, and he will face a Giants defense in Week 7 that has been susceptible to the pass this year.

Wilson completed 25 of 37 passes for 270 yards without a touchdown or an interception in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Falcons. He also rushed six time for seven yards.

Wilson led three touchdown drives, but all three were finished off on the ground. The dual-threat quarterback still looked much less mobile than usual while playing through sprains in his left MCL and right ankle. Wilson's owners should get used to the reduced production on the ground, as it could be weeks until he's back to 100 percent as a runner.

Mariota completed 17 of 24 passes for 284 yards with three touchdowns and an interception Sunday against the Browns. He also added seven carries for 64 yards in a 28-26 win.

Mariota once again displayed his dual-threat ability coming off a strong performance in which he threw for three scores and ran for one more. After a slow start that featured a 4:5 touchdown to interception ratio through four games, the second-year quarterback has stepped it up with a 6:1 ratio in the last two while also doing more damage as a runner. He set new season highs in both passing and rushing yards in this game.

Carr completed 22 of 34 passes for 225 yards, a touchdown and a pick in Sunday's loss to Kansas City. He fumbled twice during the contest.

Carr connected with a blanketed Andre Holmes for a three-yard score on the game's opening drive, but never struck again. The talented young passer has bursted out with two games of three or more touchdowns to start this season, but has averaged just a score each in the other four contests. His next test will be against a middle-of-the-road Jacksonville pass defense that had limited opponents to under 200 yards passing per game until surrendering 302 yards to the likes of Brian Hoyer in Week 6.

Tannehill completed 24 of 32 passes for 252 yards without a touchdown or a turnover Sunday against the Steelers.

Tannehill served as a game manager, letting a huge game from running back Jay Ajayi and a strong performance by the defense carry Miami to a 30-15 victory. He showed clear improvement over his play from the past two weeks, but still has a horrendous 1:3 touchdown to interception ratio in his last three appearances. Pretty much any other starting quarterback in the NFL makes for a more enticing fantasy option at the moment.

Dalton completed 21 of 31 passes for 254 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to New England. He rushed for 17 yards and a score on two carries.

Dalton gave Cincinnati the lead late in the first half after keeping it on an option sweep and cutting up for a two-yard score. He struck again early in the second half with a touchdown toss to Brandon LaFell, but overall had a fairly ho-hum game despite several nice drops in the bucket to AJ Green and Tyler Boyd. At this point last season, Dalton was on his way to becoming a fantasy star with 14 touchdown passes and another two scores on the ground in six games. Dalton, this season, has just six touchdown passes and one rushing score over the same span and has more games with one or fewer passing touchdowns, five, than he had in 12 full games last season, three. The continued absence of red-zone favorite Tyler Eifert is certainly a factor, but fantasy owners who thought themselves shrewd to snag Dalton this season can't wait much longer to find out how much of a difference the tight end will make.

Taylor completed 17 of 26 passes for 179 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's win over San Francisco. He added 68 yards on eight carries, but lost a fumble during the contest.

LeSean McCoy set them up and Taylor knocked them down. After giving the 49ers a steady diet of McCoy early on, Taylor threw 97 of his yards and both his touchdowns in the second half - including a 30-yard deep flag to newly acquired target Justin Hunter - the pair's second touchdown connection in as many games. Taylor isn't featured enough in Anthony Lynn's run-focused offense to be anything more than a spot starter, as he's topped 200 yards passing just once and 200 total yards twice in Lynn's four games as offensive coordinator. However, the mobile quarterback has also done well to protect the ball, with six total touchdowns and one turnover (Sunday's fumble) during the span.

Hoyer completed 30 of 49 passes for 302 yards Sunday against the Jaguars.

Hoyer had the Bears deep in Jacksonville territory on numerous occasions, but the only touchdown the team was able to produce was on a run by Jordan Howard. Hoyer leaned heavily upon Alshon Jeffery, Cameron Meredith and Zach Miller, as he fired 38 of his 49 pass attempts to them. This was the fourth straight game in which he threw for at least 300 yards, and although his production led to just 16 points, he didn't turn the ball over, keeping Chicago in the game. Although he hasn't officially taken over the starting job from Jay Cutler (thumb), it would be a major surprise if he didn't remain under center for the foreseeable future, and as long as he continues behind center, he'll be a borderline fantasy starter. He'll make his next start Thursday against the Packers.
