  • Sam Darnold QB | SEA

    Vikings' Sam Darnold: Overcomes turnovers in win

    Darnold completed 20 of 28 passes for 275 yards with three touchdowns and one interception and added seven carries for 15 yards in the Vikings' 31-29 win over the Packers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

    Darnold and the Vikings appeared well on their way to another impressive victory during a first half in which they jumped out to a 28-7 lead with help of the quarterback's pair of touchdown tosses to Jordan Addison (29 yards) and Justin Jefferson (14 yards). However, Darnold played a part in aiding Green Bay's comeback in the second half, tossing an interception at the Packers' two-yard line and then losing the handle on the ball during a sack at his own 24-yard line early in the fourth quarter. The latter mistake led to a Green Bay touchdown, but he was able to subsequently helm one more scoring drive that culminated in a field goal and essentially proved to be the difference in the game. Darnold will be striving to build on what was a season-high passing yardage total in a Week 5 matchup against the Jets in London next Sunday.

  • Bo Nix QB | DEN

    Broncos' Bo Nix: Struggles in victory

    Nix completed 12 of 25 pass attempts for 60 yards and one touchdown while adding five rushes for three yards against the Jets on Sunday.

    The Broncos somehow pulled off the 10-9 win, but Denver's passing game (60 yards) was less productive than the rushing attack (126 yards), which highlights the lopsidedness of the team's offense at the moment. The Jets' defense is likely one of the best in the league and rain was a factor, so Nix's struggles can be rationalized somewhat, but it still isn't easy to see how the Broncos are supposed to establish a consistent offense with their current personnel most weeks. Nix will hope to build some momentum against Las Vegas in Week 5.

  • Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Another pristine effort in win

    Mayfield completed 30 of 47 passes for 347 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed four times for 10 yards and another score in the Buccaneers' 33-16 win over the Eagles on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.

    Mayfield's numbers tell the tale of yet another highly efficient afternoon for the veteran in coordinator Liam Coen's offense, and the 2018 first overall pick was especially surgical during a first half, when the Buccaneers racked up 24 first-half points. Mayfield connected with eight different targets overall on the afternoon, hitting Mike Evans and Trey Palmer (concussion) for first-quarter touchdown passes of two and 15 yards, respectively. Mayfield then added his own one-yard scoring rush in the second quarter, and his trio of trips to the end zone Sunday gives him 10 total touchdowns through four games. Mayfield won't have to wait long to add to that tally, as the Buccaneers face off with the Falcons in a Week 5 Thursday night divisional battle.

  • Jalen Hurts QB | PHI

    Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Runs listless offense in loss

    Hurts completed 18 of 30 passes for 158 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions and added 20 yards and another touchdown on eight carries in the Eagles' 33-16 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also committed two fumbles, losing one.

    Playing without top wideouts A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion), Hurts predictably struggled to run any type of cohesive attack and took six sacks. Additionally, the fact Tampa Bay was able to jump out to a 24-7 lead over the first two quarters certainly didn't help matters, as it made Philadelphia's plan of attack all the more predictable. Some chunk gains in the second half and Hurts' own one-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter helped salvage his fantasy day, but there's no question his upside is significantly capped with out his top two pass catchers. There should be a very good chance Hurts will have at least one of Brown or Smith when the Browns come calling for a Week 6 home matchup on Sunday, Oct. 13 following a Week 5 bye.

  • Justin Herbert QB | LAC

    Chargers' Justin Herbert: Active versus Chiefs

    Herbert (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

    Herbert, who was limited in all three of the Chargers' practices this week after having aggravated his high right-ankle sprain last weekend, approached the contest officially listed as questionable. With his active status confirmed, the QB will continue to work through his injury versus Kansas City. It remains to be seen how much Herbert's ankle issue will impact his mobility Sunday, but he'll give a go, with Taylor Heinicke and Easton Stick available to sub in should Herbert end up suffering a setback, as he did during Week 3 action.

  • Browns' Dorian Thompson-Robinson: Emergency QB for Week 4

    Thompson-Robinson (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Browns' emergency quarterback for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Thompson-Robinson will only see the field Sunday if both Deshaun Watson and Jameis Winston were to leave the game due to injury.

  • Joshua Dobbs QB | NE

    49ers' Joshua Dobbs: Emergency QB again

    Dobbs (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Once again, Dobbs will serve as the 49ers' emergency quarterback. He's technically inactive but will suit up and can play if Brock Purdy and Brandon Allen are both injured during Sunday's game.

  • Sam Hartman QB | WAS

    Commanders' Sam Hartman: Emergency QB in Week 4

    Hartman (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 4 game against the Cardinals but will serve as the emergency quarterback for the contest.

    Hartman will continue in the same role he's held through the first three games of the regular season, and he'll only be able to enter Sunday's game if both Jayden Daniels and Jeff Driskel become unavailable due to injury or an ejection.

  • Colts' Anthony Richardson: Won't return Sunday

    Richardson (hip) won't return to Sunday's game against the Steelers.

    Richardson's Week 4 thus concludes with him having completed three of his four passing attempts for 71 yards, while having carried three times for 24 yards. Joe Flacco has taken over at QB for the Colts, with Richardson's status now worth monitoring ahead of next weekend's game against the Jaguars.

  • Colts' Anthony Richardson: Exits Sunday's game

    Richardson exited Sunday's game against the Steelers due to a hip injury.

    Prior to his exit, Richardson completed three of his four passing attempts for 71 yards and carried three times for 24 yards. In his absence, Joe Flacco is in at QB for the Colts.
