Daniels completed 14 of 25 passes for 238 yards and one touchdown with one interception and added 82 rushing yards on 11 carries in Sunday's 34-13 win over the Browns.

While the Browns defense was able to force some misfires from Daniels early and hold him below a 60 percent completion rate for the first time in his career, the rookie QB still came up with plenty of big plays both through the air and on the ground, including a 41-yard dime in the end zone to Dyami Brown right before halftime that essentially put the game away. Daniels has produced eight TDs (four passing, four rushing) through his first five NFL games against only two turnovers, and in Week 6 he'll take on a Ravens defense that just got lit up for 392 yards and five touchdowns by Joe Burrow.

Watson completed 15 of 28 passes for 125 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Commanders. He added 14 rushing yards on three carries.

For the fifth straight game to begin the 2024 season, Watson failed to reach 200 passing yards, and his only real highlight came on a 10-yard TD toss to Jordan Akins in fourth-quarter garbage time. Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that after the game, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski indicated that he had no intention of making a switch at quarterback, but the calls to replace Watson with Jameis Winston will only grow louder until he shows some ability to keep the offense moving. Next up for Watson is a Week 6 road matchup against a well-rested Eagles defense that will be coming off its bye.

Lawrence completed 28 of 34 passes for 371 yards with two touchdowns and one interception and rushed twice for four yards in the Jaguars' 37-34 win over the Colts on Sunday.

Looking for a little magic on his 25th birthday, Lawrence was able to help the Jaguars to their long-awaited first victory by turning in an elite performance. The 2021 first-round pick didn't toss his first touchdown of the afternoon until midway through the second quarter, connecting with star rookie Brian Thomas just past the midway point of the second quarter for an 85-yard catch-and-run score. Lawrence would come back with a four-yard TD toss to Brenton Strange early in the fourth quarter, and he subsequently helmed an eight-play, 39-yard game-winning march during which he recorded completions of nine, 11 and 14 yards. Lawrence did throw his second interception of the campaign at the Colts' two-yard line, but his overall body of work sends him into Jacksonville's annual London trip in Week 6 for a matchup against the Bears with plenty of momentum.

Williams completed 20 of 29 passes for 304 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 36-10 win over the Panthers. He added five rushing attempts for 34 yards.

Williams accumulated 200 first-half passing yards, including touchdown passes of 34 and 30 yards to DJ Moore, as the Bears took a 27-7 lead into the locker room. The mobile rookie quarterback had a one-yard touchdown run nullified by a penalty in the third quarter, so he's still looking for his first career score on the ground, but Williams has tossed five passing TDs in his last three games after failing to produce one across his first two NFL starts. Williams will have a nice opportunity to keep rolling in Week 6, when the Bears face the 1-4 Jaguars in London.

Flacco completed 33 of 44 passes for 359 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions and added three carries for 22 yards in the Colts' 37-34 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Flacco led the Colts to a modest 10 points in the first half, although he did connect for his first touchdown toss of the day during that span via a one-yard connection with Michael Pittman in the first quarter. The veteran signal-caller heated up in the second half, however, hitting Mo Alie-Cox and Alec Pierce for scoring strikes of 18 and 65 yards, respectively, and just narrowly missing another TD to each on an overthrow to the tight end and a play in which the speedy wideout was ruled down by contact at the one-yard line following a 46-yard gain. Flacco recorded completions to nine different targets overall, but his otherwise standout afternoon was partly marred by taking a sack with 12 seconds remaining and no timeouts. Nevertheless, Flacco once again proved his ability to step in and deliver starter-quality production, and it remains to be seen if it will be him or Anthony Richardson (hip/oblique) who gets the starting call for a Week 6 divisional road clash against the Titans.

Allen completed nine of 30 passes for 131 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans. He added four rushing attempts for 54 yards.

Allen was atrocious in the first half, completing only six of 18 pass attempts for 56 yards as the Bills took a 17-3 deficit into the locker room. Buffalo's offense came alive in the third quarter, spurred on by a 49-yard touchdown pass from Allen to rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman, but Allen's accuracy dipped again in the fourth as the Bills dropped to 3-2. Allen was evaluated for a head injury in the blue medical tent after a hard fall in the fourth quarter, per Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News, and subsequently missed one play before returning to the game, but he's expected to be available as usual against the Jets on Monday Night Football in Week 6.

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

As the emergency quarterback, DeVito will only see playing time Thursday if both Daniel Jones and Drew Lock were to sustain injuries that would force them off the field.

Dobbs (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, 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.

Darnold completed 14 of 31 passes for 179 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Jets. He also rushed five times for 11 yards and lost a fumble.

Darnold experienced significant struggles for the first time this season, as he combined to complete only nine of his 22 passes to Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. There were several potential explanations for the down performance, as the Jets are a tough defensive matchup and Darnold also suffered an apparent chest injury midway through the first quarter that caused him to miss one play. In addition, the Vikings jumped ahead early, causing the offense to limit its aggressiveness for much of the game. Darnold will have a chance to rest from any lingering soreness as Minnesota will head into a Week 6 bye.

Rodgers said after Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings in London that he's dealing with a low-ankle sprain, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Rodgers was noticeably hobbled late in the game due to the injury, but he didn't miss any snaps and completed 29 of 54 pass attempts for 244 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in the loss. His status will still warrant monitoring ahead of the Jets' Oct. 14 game against the Bills in Week 6.
