Wilson will receive first-team reps in practice this week and seems to be in line to start Sunday's game against the Jets, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

However, during his weekly Tuesday press conference, head coach Mike Tomlin told assembled media that Wilson was merely "in consideration" for the Week 7 start, per Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site. Tomlin added that both Wilson and Justin Fields will get reps in practice this week before a decision on a starter for Sunday's game is made. If Pelissero's report is correct, Wilson would be making his Steelers debut in Week 7. but he'd likely need a strong outing against the Jets to retain the starting spot. Fields has guided Pittsburgh to a 4-2 record, completing 66.3 percent of his passes for 6.9 yards per attempt and committing just two turnovers. Wilson had been named the starter heading into Week 1 before aggravating a calf issue in practice ahead of the season opener, opening the door for Fields.

Rodgers completed 19 of 25 passes for 294 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Monday's 23-20 loss to the Bills.

Rodgers played well in the Jets' first game since firing head coach Robert Saleh and changing the offensive playcaller from Nathaniel Hackett to Todd Downing, but New York came up just short due to two missed field goals from Greg Zuerlein and numerous costly penalties on the offense. After tossing a five-yard touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson in the first quarter, Rodgers delivered his best play as a Jet to give the team a spark on the final play of the first half, connecting with Allen Lazard for a 52-yard Hail Mary touchdown. The Jets moved the ball well in the second half as Rodgers came six yards shy of his first 300-yard passing performance since Week 14 of the 2021 season, but they failed to build a lead and eventually ran out of chances when Mike Williams fell down on Buffalo's game-sealing interception. The desperation level will be high for Rodgers and the 2-4 Jets against the Steelers next Sunday.

Allen completed 19 of 25 pass attempts for 215 yards and two touchdowns while rushing nine times for 18 yards and a third touchdown in Monday's 23-20 win over the Jets.

Allen was coming off of his worst game of the season before clearing both injury and performance concerns in one fell swoop with Monday's three-score effort. The 28-year-old is sporting a sparkling 10:0 TD:INT while adding two rushing scores through six games. Any concerns from last week's dud should be washed away heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Titans.

Carr (oblique) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report.

Carr's projected lack of activity to begin Week 7 prep comes as no surprise considering he's expected to miss multiple games due to a strained oblique that he picked up in Week 5. Rookie Spencer Rattler filled in for Carr under center during Sunday's 51-27 loss to the Buccaneers, completing 22 of 40 passes for 243 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions while taking four carries for 27 yards. Carr's is trending toward being ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Broncos, but the Saints haven't made the call yet.

Coach Sean McVay said Monday that Stafford (back) is "doing great, and he's not going to miss any time," Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Stafford was dealing with back soreness after the 24-19 Week 5 loss to the Packers, but a well-timed Week 6 bye provided ample time for the veteran quarterback to recover. While Stafford will be available for Sunday's game against the Raiders, the Rams are expected to remain without wide receiver Puka Nacua (knee), while the status of wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) still is up in the air.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Monday that Richardson (oblique) will start Sunday's game against the Dolphins, barring a setback, George Bremer of The Herald Bulletin reports.

Richardson was close to playing in this past Sunday's win over the Titans but ultimately sat out while Joe Flacco received a second consecutive start. Flacco has posted a 7:1 TD:INT in less than three full games while filling in for Richardson, but there's no quarterback controversy in Indianapolis, and the starting job will be Richardson's once he's healthy enough to take it. If Richardson is able to practice without limitations during the week, he could avoid carrying an injury designation into the game against Miami.

Rush completed eight of 11 passes for 46 yards with an interception in Sunday's loss to the Lions.

Dak Prescott got most of the fourth quarter off in a blowout loss, allowing Rush to see his most extensive action of the season so far. The 30-year-old continues to be active ahead of Trey Lance as the Cowboys' No. 2 QB, and Rush would presumably be the pick to move into the starting lineup should anything happen to Prescott.

Tagovailoa (concussion) is expected to play again during the 2024 season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Tagovailoa remains on injured reserve and won't be eligible to practice prior to Oct. 23, though it's possible his recovery will take longer than that. Tyler Huntley started the two games prior to Miami's Week 6 bye and is expected to remain under center Sunday against the Colts.

Burrow completed 19 of 28 pass attempts for 208 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Giants. He added four rushes for 55 yards and a touchdown.

Burrow got off to a hot start in an unconventional way, as he scrambled for a 47-yard touchdown on the Bengals' opening drive. The quarterback wasn't as impressive as a passer, as Burrow was consistently under pressure and struggled to sustain long drives. Entering the contest, he had multiple touchdowns in four straight games while topping 300 passing yards twice in his last three matchups, so there's no reason to panic over the lackluster showing Sunday night.

Jones completed 22 of 41 pass attempts for 205 yards, no touchdowns and an interception while rushing 11 times for 56 yards in Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Bengals.

Jones was stymied by a bottom-third defense at home in a rare game that featured no passing touchdowns for either side. This was the Giants' franchise quarterback's third game this season in which he has produced zero total touchdowns while throwing at least one interception. We are just six weeks into the fantasy season, so that rate of incompetence is not a great sign if you're relying on Jones as a starter in fantasy this year. Consider the 27-year-old a middling option for next Sunday's contest against Philadelphia.
