  • Jalen Hurts QB | PHI

    Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Welcomes back wideouts in win

    Hurts completed 16 of 25 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns. He added 33 rushing yards on 14 carries.

    While it wasn't the most efficient effort, Hurts clearly enjoyed having top wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith back in the lineup, as the former caught a 22-yard TD pass in the second quarter and the latter was on the end of a game-sealing 45-yard score in the fourth. It's only the second time in five games this season that Hurts has thrown multiple touchdowns, but it's also only the second time both Brown and Smith have been healthy. Hurts will try to keep his momentum going in Week 7 against the Giants.

  • Jared Goff QB | DET

    Lions' Jared Goff: Three touchdowns in win

    Goff completed 18 of 25 passes for 315 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys. He added three rushes for five yards.

    The Lions played ahead for nearly the entire game, limiting Goff to 25 or fewer pass attempts for the third straight game. However, he overcame that with an exceptionally efficient day, including six completions that went for gains of at least 20 yards. Two of those were touchdowns, highlighted by a 52-yard pass on a trick play to Sam LaPorta early in the second quarter and a 37-yard toss to Jameson Williams one quarter later. Overall, Goff now has multiple touchdowns in three straight contests while averaging at least 8.7 yards per attempt in each. He'll head into a tough test in Week 7 against a Minnesota defense that has allowed the sixth-fewest yards per attempt to opposing quarterbacks.

  • Deshaun Watson QB | CLE

    Browns' Deshaun Watson: Quiet in loss to Philly

    Watson completed 16 of 23 passes for 168 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles. He added 17 rushing yards on four carries.

    While the 29-year-old quarterback didn't commit any turnovers and posted a season-high 7.3 yards per attempt, Watson also failed to get the ball into the end zone -- the Browns' lone touchdown on the day came on a return of a blocked field goal. As is becoming routine in Kevin Stefanski's postgame comments, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that the head coach said he isn't benching Watson, but with the team now at 1-5 and the QB having failed to throw for 200 yards in any of those contests, he's probably running out of chances to turn his year around. Cleveland is expected to get Nick Chubb (knee) back in Week 7 against the Bengals, which could buy Watson a little more time if the star running back can help boost the performance of the offense.

  • Bo Nix QB | DEN

    Broncos' Bo Nix: Throws two more TDs in loss

    Nix completed 19 of 33 of pass attempts for 216 yards, two touchdowns and an interception while rushing six times for 61 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chargers.

    Nix followed up last week's two-score performance with another pair of touchdowns against the Chargers on Sunday. The rookie first-rounder had just one touchdown pass in his first four games with Denver, so his recent ability to finish off drives shows some development as a passer. Nix's ability as a rusher (37-180-3) gives him value as a deep-league option heading into Thursday's matchup against New Orleans.

  • Tommy DeVito QB | NE

    Giants' Tommy DeVito: Inactive Sunday night

    DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday Night Football against the Bengals, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    New York's third quarterback is available as the emergency option if Daniel Jones and Drew Lock get hurt and are unable to continue. DeVito has yet to appear in a game this season.

  • Will Levis QB | TEN

    Titans' Will Levis: Another poor showing Sunday

    Levis completed 16 of 27 passes for 95 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the Titans' 20-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

    Levis failed to reach 100 passing yards for the first time in a full game this season, but his tally was his third of under 200 yards overall. The second-year signal-caller alarmingly failed to connect with top wideout Calvin Ridley on any of the eight times he targeted him, and he also extended his dubious season-opening streak of throwing at least one interception to five games. Given Levis' body of work to date and Tennessee's 1-4 record, a switch to veteran backup Mason Rudolph ahead of a tough Week 7 road matchup against the Bills wouldn't be surprising.

  • Joe Flacco QB | CIN

    Colts' Joe Flacco: Pair of scores in victory

    Flacco completed 22 of 38 passes for 189 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Colts' 20-17 win over the Titans on Sunday. He also rushed once for one yard.

    Flacco turned in a workman-like performance that saw him struggle at times, including on a first-quarter interception that led to a Titans touchdown. However, the veteran signal-caller continued to battle throughout and eventually led scoring drives on three straight possessions between late in the third quarter and the midway point of the final period. Flacco connected with Josh Downs (22 yards) and Michael Pittman (10 yards) for his pair of touchdown passes, and if Anthony Richardson (oblique) makes his return against the Dolphins in Week 7 as expected, Flacco will have completed his early season fill-in tenure with a trio of multi-touchdown tallies.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Efficient in Sunday's win

    Jackson completed 20 of 26 passes for 323 yards and a touchdown with one interception in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Commanders. He added 40 rushing yards on 11 carries.

    The veteran quarterback dissected a weak Washington secondary, and Jackson found Mark Andrews for a 13-yard score just before halftime. Jackson has posted back-to-back games with more than 300 passing yards, and on the season the reigning MVP has put together a 10:2 TD:INT through six games while also chipping in two rushing touchdowns. He could be poised for big numbers again in a potential Week 7 barn burner against the Buccaneers.

  • Saints' Spencer Rattler: Impressive in NFL debut

    Rattler completed 22 of 40 passes for 243 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in the Saints' 51-27 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also rushed four times for 27 yards and fumbled once but recovered.

    The rookie fifth-round pick did not look out of his element despite facing a veteran defense with aggressive tendencies. Rattler recorded his first touchdown pass via a 10-yard strike to Bub Means just before the midway point of the second quarter, and he continued battling throughout the game despite the game eventually getting away from New Orleans. Reports earlier Sunday indicated Derek Carr (oblique) could be down for up to four games, so Rattler projects for another start Thursday night at home against the Broncos.

  • Drake Maye QB | NE

    Patriots' Drake Maye: Three TDs, three TOs in first start

    Maye completed 20 of 33 passes for 243 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Texans. He added five rushing attempts for 38 yards and lost a fumble.

    After leading the offense to a three-and-out on the first drive of his first NFL start, Maye was picked off on the next possession. He struggled early but finally produced New England's first points of the game with a 40-yard touchdown pass to Kayshon Boutte in the final minute of the first half. That play didn't create any momentum, as Maye lost a fumble on the second play of the second half. He later threw touchdown passes of six yards to Hunter Henry and 35 yards to DeMario Douglas as the Patriots unsuccessfully tried to climb out of a 27-7 hole, sandwiching another interception between those two scores. Maye has yet to prove he can find success while a game is still within reach, but a Week 7 London matchup against a Jaguars secondary that just allowed four touchdown passes to fellow rookie quarterback Caleb Williams is as good an opportunity as any for Maye to prove himself.
