Dobbs (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Cowboys, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Dobbs will once again operate as the team's emergency quarterback in Week 8. He'll only enter the game if both Brock Purdy and Brandon Allen are forced to exit with injuries.

Lance (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the 49ers.

Lance will once again be inactive and operate as the team's emergency quarterback in Week 8. He will be eligible to enter the game if both Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush get injured versus San Francisco.

Jackson completed 23 of 38 passes for 289 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 29-24 loss to the Browns. He added eight rushes for 46 yards.

The Ravens suffered a surprising loss, though Jackson continued his excellent season and could have had a better day if he had not been let down by his pass catchers. He delivered six completions of at least 20 yards and should have had another on a deep attempt to Rashod Bateman in the middle of the fourth quarter that bounced off the receiver's chest. Jackson also added touchdown passes of 11 and seven yards to tally his fourth multi-touchdown passing performance in his last five starts. As usual, Jackson supplemented his production with his arm via rushing yardage, as he continued his streak of reaching 40 yards with his legs in every game this season.

Love is slated to undergo tests on his injured groin Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Love was clearly hobbled in the second quarter and then was forced out of Sunday's 30-27 win over Jacksonville in the third quarter, handing over the offense to backup Malik Willis for the rest of the contest. There's a belief that Love doesn't have a long-term injury, but with a Week 10 bye following the Packers' next outing Nov. 3 against the Lions, the team may exercise caution with him to ensure he's good to go for the stretch run of the campaign. Per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, head coach Matt LaFleur intimated as much after the game, noting that he has "a high level of concern" with Love because the quarterback and team "didn't feel like he could protect himself." Green Bay will take the field again Wednesday in preparation for next Sunday's matchup.

Brissett completed 15 of 24 passes for 132 yards, without a touchdown or interception, after replacing Drake Maye (concussion) in the first half of Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets. Brissett added three rushing attempts for 11 yards and threw a two-point conversion.

Brissett led the Patriots to an upset win with a pair of second-half touchdown drives, both of which were capped by Rhamondre Stevenson touchdown runs. The veteran quarterback threw a two-point conversion to Stevenson after the running back's second rushing score, which came with 22 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. Brissett started New England's first five games but has only two touchdown passes this season, so he won't be an appealing fantasy option if Maye is unable to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol before the Patriots head to Tennessee for a Week 9 matchup that could have significant implications near the top of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Goff completed 12 of 15 passes for 85 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 52-14 win over the Titans. He added one rush for one yard.

The Lions' defense and special teams set up the offense with short fields several times early in the game. Goff took advantage with touchdown passes of eight and one yards, but his yardage was limited as a result. He tallied his third passing score midway through the third quarter but did not play at all in the fourth quarter of the blowout win. It's difficult to find fault with the performance, but game script limited Goff's output for fantasy purposes.

Rodgers completed 17 of 28 passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.

Rodgers threw a two-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Conklin in the first quarter and a one-yard touchdown pass to Xavier Gipson in the second, but the Jets came up a day late and a dollar short in another last-dash comeback bid. New York's sixth loss ended with a gimpy Rodgers and the offensive line hustling in vain to get a spike off as the final seconds ticked off after a 16-yard completion to Davante Adams on the game's final play. Conklin and Gipson have combined to catch all three of Rodgers' touchdown passes in two games since Adams' arrival in New York. Rodgers and the Jets won't have long to dwell on this latest disappointment, as they'll be right back in action Thursday against the Texans.

Stroud completed 25 of 37 passes for 285 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions and added one rush for minus-4 yards in the Texans' 23-20 win over the Colts on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Stroud was coming off a career-low 86 passing yards in a Week 7 loss to the Packers, but he bounced back with his third-highest total of the season. The second-year signal-caller connected with Tank Dell for his one touchdown pass, hitting the second-year wideout from seven yards out late in the first half, and he recorded completions to eight different players overall. Stroud will still be without top wideout Nico Collins (hamstring) for at least one more game, and he'll have a short turnaround before doing battle with the Jets' talented secondary in a Week 9 Halloween road matchup Thursday night that he may not have Stefon Diggs (knee) for either.

Willis completed four of five pass attempts for 56 yards and a touchdown while rushing four times for 23 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over Jacksonville.

Willis entered Sunday's contest in the third quarter after starter Jordan Love (groin) exited due to injury. Green Bay's backup performed well in the win, holding a lead he inherited early in the second half and completing a key 51-yard pass to Jayden Reed on the final drive to set up Brandon McManus' game-winning field goal. Willis would be making his third start in place of Love should the latter sit out next Sunday's tilt against the Lions. In two prior starts for Green Bay, Willis accounted for three touchdowns and did not throw an interception.

Richardson completed 10 of 32 passes for 175 yards with a touchdown and an interception while rushing six times for 45 yards in the Colts' 23-20 loss to the Texans on Sunday. He also committed two fumbles, losing one.

Richardson came into the game having completed just 48.5 percent of his throws, and though he was even more inefficient Sunday, he nearly led the Colts to a win. A bulk of Richardson's yardage came on two big throws to Josh Downs, who recorded gains of 69 and 25 yards while scoring on the first one and just missing a touchdown on the second. Richardson also managed to spike the ball with one second remaining to give the Colts one final chance at a game-winning throw, but he took a sack and fumbled on the final play of the game. The second-year signal-caller has an unenviable matchup in Week 9, as the Colts will travel to face the Vikings in a Sunday night interconference clash.
