Thompson (ribs) is the Dolphins' inactive emergency third QB for Monday night's game against the Titans.

After logging three straight limited practices ahead of Monday's contest, Thompson -- who was forced out of Week 3 action with a rib issue -- was listed as questionable. With Thompson deemed Miami's emergency QB on Monday, Tyler Huntley will draw the start versus Tennessee, and Tim Boyle is slated to back him up.

Richardson is considered day-to-day with oblique and abdominal strains, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Per Pelissero, Richardson has a chance to play Sunday against the Jaguars, with added context regarding the QB's status slated to arrive no later that Wednesday, when the Colts return to practice. In the event that Richardson is unavailable this weekend, Joe Flacco would be in line to get the start versus Jacksonville.

Coach Jerod Mayo said Monday that Brissett remains the Patriots' starting quarterback, Taylor Kyles of CLNSMedia.com reports.

Brissett is coming off another ugly loss, this time completing 19 of 32 passes for 168 yards, one touchdown and one interception (a pick-six) in New England's 30-13 defeat at the hands of the 49ers in Week 4. He also had three rushing yards on two carries, took a whopping six sacks and fumbled three times, losing one. That actually constituted a step up from Brissett's performance in Week 3 in which he was held to 98 passing yards without a touchdown in a loss to the Jets. Mayo stated that he will "always reserve the right to do something else" and is "always going to do what's best for the organization," per Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald, but the Patriots aren't ready to turn to rookie first-round pick Drake Maye yet given the shoddy performance of the team's offensive line. Brissett will get another chance to line up under center during Sunday's divisional matchup against the Dolphins at home.

Jackson completed 13 of 18 pass attempts for 156 yards and two touchdowns while adding 54 rushing yards and another score on six attempts in Sunday's 35-10 win over the Bills.

Jackson turned in a signature performance in which he revitalized the Ravens' contender status after a decisive victory over the now 3-1 Bills on Sunday Night Football. Last year's MVP looked the part with his first three-touchdown effort of the current season. The 27-year-old did cough up his second fumble of the season, but he has offset three total turnovers with seven combined touchdowns (two rushing) through four weeks. Jackson and the Ravens will set their sights on another division rival, the Joe Burrow-led Cincinnati Bengals, when the two teams meet in Week 5.

Allen completed 16 of 29 passes for 180 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens. He added five rushing attempts for 21 yards and lost a fumble.

Allen completed just nine of 16 passes for 42 yards in the first half as the Bills took a 21-3 deficit into the locker room. He got Buffalo back in it with a 52-yard heave downfield to Khalil Shakir to set up a Ty Johnson touchdown in the third quarter, but Allen lost a fumble on the next drive as a trick play went wrong and the Ravens pulled away. Allen was looked at by trainers after taking a big hit on the fumble, per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com, but he stayed in the game without missing a play before the Bills waved the white flag by inserting Mitchell Trubisky under center for their last two drives. That fumble was Allen's first turnover of the season against nine total touchdowns, so the star quarterback has a good chance of bouncing back from this speed bump in Week 5 against the Texans.

Herbert completed 16 of 27 passes for 179 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Chiefs.

Herbert led the Chargers on a 10-play, 74-yard touchdown drive on their opening possession, during which he went 4-for-4 for 49 yards. However, he mostly struggled from there as the offense picked up only 12 total first downs and 224 net yards. Herbert has limited mistakes through four games this season, but he has also yet to reach 180 passing yards as the Chargers continue to employ a very conservative offense. Positively, he'll have a week to rest his ankle injury, as the team hits its bye week.

Brissett completed 19 of 32 pass attempts for 168 yards, one touchdown and one interception while adding three rushing yards and a lost fumble on two carries in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the 49ers.

Brissett earned head coach Jerod Mayo's vote of confidence prior to Sunday's lopsided loss, but three fumbles (one lost) and a pick-six might have the veteran back on the hot seat. The two-time Patriot has provided just two touchdowns against two turnovers through four starts with the club that initially drafted him in 2016. Even if Brissett remains the starter for a 1-3 New England squad, he doesn't inspire confidence as a fantasy option against the Dolphins in Week 5.

Mahomes completed 19 of 29 passes for 245 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Chargers.

Mahomes showed impressive efficiency by averaging 8.5 yards per attempt, though it didn't lead to a strong fantasy showing. The latter is understandable given that the Chiefs lost another key pass catcher after Rashee Rice (knee) went down, leaving Travis Kelce and rookie Xavier Worthy as Mahomes' top two targets. The highlight of his performance came late in the second quarter when he found Worthy for a 54-yard touchdown. With Rice and Hollywood Brown (shoulder) both sidelined for the long term, it may be difficult for Mahomes to turn in his typical fantasy performances on a regular basis.

Minshew completed 14 of 24 passes for 130 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns. He also had two rushing attempts for minus-2 yards.

Minshew held onto the starting job after the Raiders mulled replacing him with Aidan O'Connell, and Minshew justified that decision by managing Vegas to victory. While Minshew's performance wasn't impressive statistically, he avoided major mistakes while the Raiders went run-heavy in the absence of star wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring). Minshew may not be asked to do significantly more in Week 5 against the stout Denver defense, especially if Adams remains unavailable.

Fields completed 22 of 34 passes for 312 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Colts. He added 10 rushes for 55 yards and two additional touchdowns.

Fields got off to a shaky start as the Steelers went scoreless for their first four offensive possessions, leading to a 17-3 deficit at halftime. That forced Pittsburgh into opening up the offense, leading to Fields throwing for 192 yards and rushing for 41 in the final two quarters. He did make a few key mistakes, highlighted by taking a sack that led to a lost fumble in the middle of the third quarter. On the other hand, he nearly led a substantial comeback and showed his dynamic playmaking ability as both a rusher and passer with five completions of 20 or more yards. He still has yet to officially be named the Steelers' starting quarterback, but it would come as a surprise if he isn't under center for a Week 5 matchup against the Cowboys.
