Watson completed 24 of 32 pass attempts for 176 yards, one touchdown and one interception while rushing eight times for 32 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Raiders.

Watson failed to eclipse the 200-yard mark in passing in all four of his starts this season. With a mediocre 5:6 touchdown-to-turnover ratio in those four contests, the former fantasy star is looking like a shell of his former self in three seasons with Cleveland. Managers still holding out hope for the 2017 first-round pick are likely playing in deeper formats or two-QB leagues, as Watson is unlikely to garner big projections in a road matchup against Washington following a forgettable start to 2024.

Murray completed 16 of 22 passes for 142 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-14 loss to the Commanders. He added one rushing attempt for three yards.

After capping the opening drive with a two-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Harrison, Murray was surprisingly quiet the rest of the way as both a passer and a runner against a beatable Washington defense as the Cardinals felt the absence of starting tight end Trey McBride (concussion). Prior to Sunday's dud as a runner, Murray had at least 45 rushing yards in every game this season and had rushed for at least 20 yards in eight consecutive starts. Murray's averaging just 194.3 passing yards per game heading into a Week 5 road game against the 49ers.

Stroud completed 27 of 40 passes for 345 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Jaguars. He added 17 rushing yards on three carries.

The Texans trailed for most of the fourth quarter in a back-and-forth affair, but Stroud led a game-winning drive in the final three minutes that was capped by a one-yard TD toss to Dare Ogunbowale. It's Stroud's first game this season with more than 260 passing yards, but increased volume helped, as his 40 pass attempts were also a season high. The second-year QB figures to be very busy again in Week 5 as the Texans host the Bills.

Daniels completed 26 of 30 passes for 233 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 42-14 win over the Cardinals. He added eight rushing attempts for 47 yards and a touchdown. Daniels also threw a two-point conversion.

Daniels has completed 47 of 53 passes while leading the Commanders to 80 points over the last two weeks. The rookie second overall pick scored his fourth rushing touchdown on a nine-yard run early in the third quarter, then threw his third passing touchdown of the campaign with a 10-yard pass to Terry McLaurin in the fourth. Daniels has taken the NFL by storm with his mix of elusiveness and accuracy, and he'll look to keep rolling in Week 5, when the 3-1 Commanders host the 1-3 Browns.

Purdy (back) completed 15 of 27 pass attempts for 288 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Patriots.

Purdy and his teammates took care of business in a favorable home matchup Sunday. The end results were modest from a fantasy perspective, with San Francisco passing for just one touchdown in the lopsided team win. Purdy was dealing with back soreness coming off of last week's three-touchdown performance, which might help explain his poor completion percentage (56.0 percent) compared to his 69 percent completion rate in two-plus years as a pro. The rising star continues to be a strong fantasy option heading into another favorable home matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Lawrence completed 18 of 33 passes for 169 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Texans. He also rushed three times for five yards and committed a fumble recovered by Jacksonville.

Despite another meager yardage total, Lawrence tossed multiple TDs in a game for the first time this season, hitting rookie Brian Thomas for a two-yard strike in the first quarter and Christian Kirk for an eight-yard score in the third. The latter gave the Jaguars a 20-17 lead, which looked like it might hold up until the team's defense failed to stop C.J. Stroud on the Texans' final drive. Lawrence will try to finish the job and give Jacksonville its first win of 2024 in Week 5 against Indianapolis.

Flacco completed 16 of 26 passes for two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Steelers. He also rushed twice for three yards.

Flacco entered the game in relief of Anthony Richardson (hip) on the team's second drive with the benefit of a lead. He did his part to keep the Colts in front by throwing for scores of 15 and five yards, while also completing a pair of passes for more than 20 yards. Flacco showed the ability to distribute the ball very effectively as a starter for the second half of the 2023 season with the Browns, and the Colts have solid offensive skill-position players that should once again help him if Richardson is forced to miss any additional time.

Cousins completed 21 of 35 passes for 238 yards and an interception in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Saints.

The veteran quarterback failed to throw a TD pass for the first time in four games as a member of the Falcons, but instead Atlanta got its offense on a fumble recovery score on special teams, a pick-six by the defense, and four Younghoe Koo field goals, including a 58-yard game-winner with two seconds left on the clock. Cousins has yet to break out for Atlanta, posting a 4:4 TD:INT so far and failing to reach 250 passing yards in a game, but he may need to step up his production in Week 5 against the Buccaneers.

Rodgers completed 24 of 42 passes for 255 yards, without a touchdown or interception, in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Broncos. He added five rushing attempts for 26 yards.

Rodgers racked up 59 of his 81 first-half passing yards in the two-minute drill to help the Jets take a 6-0 lead into the locker room. The Jets' first field goal was set up by a 34-yard pass interference penalty drawn on a Rodgers throw to Allen Lazard, which accounted for the only first-quarter first down for either team on a rainy afternoon at MetLife Stadium. New York's next first down didn't come until a 14-yard run by Rodgers after the halfway point of the second quarter. Both offenses moved the ball better after halftime, but Rodgers failed to lead a touchdown drive, and a missed Greg Zuerlein 50-yard field-goal attempt in the final minute of the fourth quarter dipped the Jets' record to 2-2 heading into a Week 5 London matchup against the Vikings at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Rodgers took five sacks and was moving gingerly in the second half. The veteran quarterback said after the game that both his legs are bothering him, per Connor Hughes of SportsNet New York, but coach Robert Saleh said Rodgers will be fine moving forward.

Stafford completed 20 of 29 passes for 224 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while netting minus-1 yard on his only rush attempt. He also lost a fumble.

Stafford once again was playing with a makeshift receiving corps in the absence of Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (IR, knee), which makes his final numbers more than serviceable. However, the veteran signal-caller simply couldn't generate enough scoring drives, and he also fumbled at his own 13-yard line midway through the second quarter to set up a short Bears touchdown drive. Stafford showed plenty of chemistry with Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington in particular (a combined 10-144-0 line on 14 targets).
