  • Tyler Shough QB | NO

    Saints' Tyler Shough: First NFL action in garbage time

    Shough failed to complete either of his pass attempts in Sunday's 44-13 loss to Seattle.

    Shough got his first taste of the pros when he took over for Spencer Rattler on New Orleans' final drive in garbage time Sunday. The 2025 second-round pick failed to complete either of his pass attempts in the brief outing. This wasn't a changing of the guard, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Shough take over at some point this season if the Saints continue stacking losses under Rattler.

  • Dak Prescott QB | DAL

    Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Misses Lamb in Week 3 loss

    Prescott completed 31 of 40 passes for 251 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Bears.

    The Cowboys got off to a disjointed start on offense, as Javonte Williams fumbled on the opening possession, with CeeDee Lamb (ankle) departing for the game one drive later. Prescott kept Dallas competitive for a while, guiding the team to a pair of field goals before connecting with George Pickens from two yards away for a touchdown. Prescott faded in the second half without his top pass catcher, averaging only 6.5 yards per attempt while throwing two picks. His fantasy outlook in Week 4 will depend significantly on Lamb's status, but a matchup against the Packers will be tough regardless.

  • Russell Wilson QB | NYG

    Giants' Russell Wilson: Abysmal showing against Chiefs

    Wilson completed 18 of 32 passes for 160 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 22-9 loss to the Chiefs. He added five rushes for 27 yards.

    Wilson was unable to replicate his heroics from Week 2, averaging only 5.0 yards per attempt while also throwing an interception deep in Chiefs territory late in the second quarter. That halted the Giants' offensive momentum and set the tone for an abysmal overall showing. Wilson has struggled to move the offense in two of three games this season and will draw another tough assignment in Week 4 against the Chargers.

  • Bryce Young QB | CAR

    Panthers' Bryce Young: Manages Carolina to win

    Young completed 16 of 24 passes for 121 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Sunday's 30-0 win over the Falcons. He added two rushes for eight yards and a touchdown.

    The Panthers were gifted several short fields early in Sunday's win and also had a pick-six to begin the second half. That limited what was required of Young, as he was able to primarily work in short areas of the field and focus on taking care of the ball. Young did manage to salvage some fantasy value with a four-yard scramble into the end zone midway through the first quarter, but he has now thrown for 155 or fewer yards with one or fewer total touchdowns in two of three games to begin the campaign.

  • Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Leads KC to first victory

    Mahomes completed 22 of 37 pass attempts for 224 yards and a touchdown while rushing five times for two yards in Sunday's 22-9 win over the Giants.

    It wasn't Mahomes' prettiest game, but he managed to will Kansas City to its first win of the 2025 season. The star quarterback actually put the ball on the ground twice, but fantasy managers breathed collective sighs of relief when both fumbles were recovered by the Chiefs. Mahomes seemed more willing to take deep shots in this contest, dialing up Tyquan Thornton for a long score and drawing a massive pass interference penalty on a deep shot to Hollywood Brown that led to a quick field goal before halftime. Mahomes has yet to eclipse the 300-yard mark in passing through three starts, but he may be asked to air it out more against Lamar Jackson and the high-powered Ravens' offense next Sunday.

  • Cam Ward QB | TEN

    Titans' Cam Ward: Struggles against Colts

    Ward completed 23 of 38 passes for 219 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 41-20 loss to the Colts. He added three rushes for 12 yards.

    Ward had a particularly ugly first half, as his second attempted pass of the day was intercepted and returned for a touchdown. That was his only turnover of the day, but he also took four sacks and averaged only 5.8 yards per attempt. Ward did manage to lead two touchdown drives in the second half with the game already out of reach, primarily showing rapport with Chig Okonkwo and Elic Ayomanor -- the latter of whom caught an eight-yard touchdown. Ward has shown glimpses of potential in his last two games, but the Titans' offense remains one of the worst in the league.

  • Saints' Spencer Rattler: Mixed results in blowout loss

    Rattler completed 28 of 39 pass attempts for 218 yards, one touchdown and one interception while rushing twice for 10 yards in Sunday's 44-13 loss to the Seahawks.

    Rattler failed to recreate the three-touchdown performance we saw from him in Week 2, resulting in numbers closer to his pedestrian game against Atlanta to open the season. The Saints were outmatched from the jump, falling behind by 32 points at halftime. Things got so bad that rookie backup Tyler Shough saw the field in garbage time. It wouldn't be surprising to see the quarterbacks flip roles at some point this season for the 0-3 Saints. For now, Rattler figures to continue starting for New Orleans when the team travels to Buffalo next Sunday.

  • Daniel Jones QB | IND

    Colts' Daniel Jones: Efficient showing to down Titans

    Jones completed 18 of 25 passes for 228 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 41-20 win over the Titans. He added four rushes for 27 yards.

    Jones and the Colts enjoyed a three-possession lead by early in the third quarter, so he took to the air only nine times in the second half. The results when Jones took to the air remained strong, as he connected with Michael Pittman for a 20-yard touchdown, and he also completed seven passes of at least 15 yards. Jones failed to reach the end zone on the ground for the first time this season, though he continues to take care of the ball and lead an efficient Colts offense.

  • Sam Darnold QB | SEA

    Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Makes quick work of Saints

    Darnold completed 14 of 18 pass attempts for 218 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 44-13 rout of the Saints.

    Darnold had an easy day at the office Sunday, generating most of his statistical production in a lopsided first half of action. Things got so out of hand in the second half that Seattle was able to get both of its backup quarterbacks on the field during garbage time. This was Darnold's finest performance as a member of the Seahawks, and he is now averaging 221.0 passing yards to go along with four touchdowns and two interceptions through three starts in 2025. Darnold is looking like a mid-level fantasy option heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Cardinals on Thursday Night Football.

  • Bo Nix QB | DEN

    Broncos' Bo Nix: Low volume passing day

    Nix completed 14 of 25 pass attempts for 153 yards and a touchdown while rushing eight times for 33 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chargers.

    Nix didn't perform particularly poorly, rather falling victim to a dominating ball-control performance from the Chargers (-12:40 in time of possession Sunday). The dual-threat quarterback recorded his highest rushing total of the campaign in the loss while committing no turnovers for the first time in three starts. Nix will attempt to put it all together in a very favorable matchup against the Bengals next Monday.
