Winston completed 27 of 52 passes for 243 yards with a touchdown and four interceptions in Sunday's 40-7 loss to the Cardinals. He also gained nine yards on three rushes and lost a fumble.

The second-year signal-caller's fortunes went from rags to riches in the span of a week, with Winston offsetting his terrific four-touchdown performance in the opener with a four-interception nightmare Sunday. He put up a career-high 52 attempts in the process, as the Bucs fell behind in the second quarter and never came close to catching up. The 2015 first overall pick was victimized by Patrick Peterson for one end-zone interception, and Marcus Cooper was responsible for two others. Winston also lost a fumble on what was the Bucs' best drive of the first half when RB Charles Sims accidentally brushed against him, dislodging the ball. Given Winston's past body of work, this performance shapes up very much like a game that simply got away from him. He'll look to rebound when Tampa faces the Rams in a home date in Week 3.

Carr completed 34 of 45 passes for 299 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 35-28 loss to the Falcons. He also scrambled twice for 10 yards.

Carr has clearly made strides in his third NFL season, throwing for 618 yards and four touchdowns without an interception through two weeks. With how porous Oakland's defense has looked thus far, expect him to continue throwing early and often after attempting 83 passes already this year. He spread the ball around to 11 different receivers in this one, showing that there are viable options in this Raiders passing game beyond just Amari Cooper and Micheal Crabtree.

Siemian completed 22 of 33 passes for 266 yards, a two-point conversion and a pick in Sunday's win over the Colts. He added seven yards on a single rush.

Siemian drew praise from the color commentators for his quick release and accuracy, but the fact remains that he led the Broncos' offense to just one touchdown despite playing against a heavily depleted Colts secondary. Stalling on the opponent's side of the field remains a problem for Siemian and Denver's offense as a whole and the second-year passer also threw a pick on a screen attempt for the second week in a row. These issues won't be highlighted unless they persist, and Siemian has made some clutch plays early on, but his 74.4 quarterback rating needs to pick up with a tough match-up against the Bengals on deck.

Bradford will be under center during the Vikings' first offensive snap Sunday against the Packers, Matt Vensel of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

All signs pointed to Bradford getting the nod in Week 2, from taking all the first-team reps in practice to doing the same in pregame warmups, according to Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Just over two weeks removed from the trade with the Eagles, the Vikings will entrust Bradford with the controls, but having Adrian Peterson at his disposal will certainly ease the burden at the outset of this venture.

According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Garoppolo sustained an AC joint sprain in his right throwing shoulder Sunday against the Dolphins. The Patriots hope that Garoppolo will return in Week 4 versus the Bills.

Garoppolo was driven into the turf of Gillette Stadium and remained there for some time after the second-quarter hit. While a one-week hiatus is far more optimistic than the six weeks mentioned by Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald, the Patriots will likely remain mum with Garoppolo's status until a decision must be made. In any event, Garoppolo will be hard-pressed to take the field with the Patriots' next outing arriving Thursday against the Texans. If status quo reigns this week, Jacoby Brissett will helm the offense in Week 3, but a veteran QB addition is a near certainty in the next day or two.

Keenum completed 18-of-30 passes for 239 yards and added three rushes for five yards in Sunday's win over Seattle.

Keenum did what he needed to do Sunday, managing the game and not messing up what was an extraordinary performance by the Rams' defense. However, managing a game doesn't necessarily equate well with fantasy production, and with Jared Goff questions looming around every corner, Keenum's time as a starter seems to be numbered. It would be wise to avoid him in standard fantasy formats.

Wilson (ankle) completed 22 of 35 passes for 254 yards and added five rushes for 14 yards in Sunday's loss to the Rams.

Wilson was clearly limited by his high-ankle sprain, and his inept offensive line did him no favors. With Wilson no longer a threat in the read-option, the Rams pounded the tackle box to stop the Seattle running game. Without a running game, Wilson was left to shoulder the offensive burden, which proved too much. What's more, receivers Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett were injured, as was running back Thomas Rawls. The Seahawks' offense is a mess heading into a Week 3 matchup against the 49ers.

Mariota completed 25 of 33 passes for 238 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 16-15 comeback win over the Lions. He also added 11 rushing yards on two carries.

Mariota was held to just 81 passing yards in the first half, but turned things around as the Titans came back from a 15-3 deficit. The second-year quarterback demonstrated improved decision-making in leading a methodical 93-yard game-winning drive that culminated with a nine-yard touchdown pass to Andre Johnson with 1:13 left. He has been quiet with his feet after flashing deceptively good speed and instincts as a rookie, but has topped 230 passing yards in both of his 2016 games after doing so in only half of his 12 starts last season.

Tannehill completed 32 of 45 passes for 389 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Patriots. He also gained 35 yards on six rushes and lost a fumble but recovered.

Although his final stat line was impressive, it belied the extremely cold start Tannehill had on the afternoon. He failed to complete a pass until the second quarter, which played a key role in a 24-3 halftime deficit for the Dolphins. Tannehill began to find his rhythm in the third quarter, connecting with Kenny Stills for a 24-yard score and then coming back in the final period for a 12-yard touchdown strike to Jordan Cameron. In all, he completed 20 of first 21 pass attempts in the second half, but was intercepted in the end zone on a last-gasp heave on fourth down at the Patriots' 29-yard line with two seconds remaining. While his overall numbers and the fact that he found Jarvis Landry a total of 10 times on the afternoon were certainly encouraging, Tannehill and the Dolphins are already in the hot seat heading into their home opener against the Browns in Week 3.

Dalton completed 31 of 54 pass attempts for 366 yards and one touchdown in the Bengals' Week 2 loss to the Steelers. He also carried twice for seven yards.

The 54 pass attempts represent a career-high for Dalton, though his 57.4 percent completion rate was well below his career average. Receiver A.J. Green didn't do him many favors, though, as the All-Pro wideout secured just two of eight targets sent his way. Fortunately, rookie Tyler Boyd seems to be emerging as a legitimate weapon for Dalton, which could prove very beneficial for Dalton's stat lines moving forward. Up next is a matchup against a formidable Broncos defense Week 3.
