  • Colts' Gardner Minshew: Relieves injured Richardson

    Minshew completed 11 of 14 passes for 155 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Titans.

    Minshew entered the game late in the second quarter after Anthony Richardson suffered a shoulder injury. The Colts had a modest 10-6 lead at the time, and Minshew moved the offense efficiently enough to keep that lead -- though Zack Moss proved to be the primary force for the unit. The extent of Richardson's injury is not yet clear, and Minshew could be in line to start in Week 6 in a pivotal divisional matchup against the Jaguars.

  • Zach Wilson QB | NO

    Jets' Zach Wilson: No touchdowns Sunday

    Wilson completed 19 of 26 pass attempts for 199 yards, no touchdowns and one interception while rushing three times for 26 yards in Sunday's 31-21 win over Denver.

    Wilson was not involved in either of the Jets' trips to the end zone Sunday, as the team scored via Breece Hall's rushing touchdown and cornerback Bryce Hall's defensive touchdown. The quarterback's lone turnover came on a forced throw to tight end C.J. Uzomah near the end of the first half. He also fumbled twice but did not lose possession on either gaffe. Fortunately for Wilson, the Broncos offense continues to be inept, and the ill-timed pick did not cost his team its second win. The 24-year-old won't be afforded as many mulligans next Sunday against an Eagles defense that ranks near the top of the league through five weeks.

  • Derek Carr QB | NO

    Saints' Derek Carr: Efficient in blowout victory

    Carr completed 18 of 26 passes for 183 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 34-0 win over the Patriots.

    Carr wasn't asked to do much as the Saints held a substantial lead for much of the game, though he delivered when called upon. Despite limited volume, he managed to record his first multi-touchdown performance of the season on strikes from five and six yards away. Even more positive is the fact that Carr tallied three completions of at least 20 yards, a good sign regarding the health of his shoulder heading into a Week 6 matchup against the Texans.

  • Taysom Hill QB | NO

    Saints' Taysom Hill: Totals 20 yards in big win

    Hill rushed three times for 19 yards and caught his lone target for one yard during Sunday's 34-0 win against the Patriots.

    Hill fulfilled his usual jack-of-all-trades role in New Orleans' offense, including six plays on which he lined up as a quarterback in the shotgun. The 33-year-old did not attempt a pass while behind center; instead, he was once again used as a wrinkle in the running game, either handing off to running back Alvin Kamara or rushing himself. The 221-pound quarterback tallied the Saints' third-most rushing attempts and yards behind Kamara (22 carries for 80 yards) and rookie Kendre Miller (12 carries for 37 yards). Hill's biggest impact this season has come while lined up at quarterback, during which he's tallied 23 carries for 120 yards through five games. Meanwhile, he's attempted just two passes while catching four of six targets for 16 yards. His value as a mobile quarterback still doesn't justify much relevance in fantasy lineups. He'll look to tally more carries Week 6 versus Houston.

  • Kirk Cousins QB | LV

    Vikings' Kirk Cousins: Tosses two TDs in Sunday's loss

    Cousins completed 29 of 47 passes for 284 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-20 loss to Kansas City.

    Despite playing the fourth quarter without Justin Jefferson (hamstring), Cousins still tossed multiple TDs for the fifth straight game to begin the season, hitting rookie Jordan Addison for a five-yard strike just before halftime before finding Alexander Mattison on a nine-yard screen early in the fourth. Cousins very nearly connected with Mattison for another TD and what would have been the tying score late in the game, but the running back dropped the pass. Jefferson's status for Week 6 against the Bears is still up in the air, and his availability could have a big impact on the QB's chances of extending his streak of productive games.

  • Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Two TDs in win over Vikings

    Mahomes completed 31 of 41 passes for 281 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-20 win over Minnesota.

    The Kansas City passing game had trouble getting going in the first half, but Mahomes cranked it up in the third quarter and hit Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce (ankle) for scores to break open a 13-13 tie. The perennial MVP candidate has tossed multiple touchdowns in four of five games to begin the season, leading to a 10:4 TD:INT, and Mahomes could be poised for a huge performance in Week 6 against a Broncos secondary that's already coughed up two four-TD performances to quarterbacks this season.

  • Kenny Pickett QB | CAR

    Steelers' Kenny Pickett: Manages Steelers to victory

    Pickett completed 18 of 32 passes for 224 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Ravens.

    Pickett was surprisingly able to suit up after suffering a knee injury in Week 4, and he delivered one of his better performances of the season. In addition to averaging 7.0 yards per attempt, he also managed to not turn the ball over for the second time in five games on the campaign. The highlight of his day came with just over one minute remaining in the fourth quarter, when he delivered a 41-yard touchdown pass deep down the right sideline to George Pickens. Even given the relatively positive effort, Pickett has yet to top 235 passing yards in a game this season and has only one multi-touchdown performance.

  • Joshua Dobbs QB | NE

    Cardinals' Joshua Dobbs: Held in check by Cincy

    Dobbs completed 15 of 32 passes for 166 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Bengals.

    He also gained one yard on three carries and lost a fumble. The two TDs both came in the second quarter and gave the Cardinals a 14-10 lead, but Dobbs then threw a pick-six to Cam Taylor-Britt just before halftime and Arizona never recovered. The INTs were the first of the season for Dobbs, but his 6:2 TD:INT is still impressive for a QB who was a career backup coming into 2023. He'll look to take better care of the ball in Week 6 against the Rams.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Held without score in loss

    Jackson completed 22 of 38 passes for 236 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Steelers. He added six rushes for 45 yards.

    Jackson attempted a season-high 38 passes and missed his season-best yardage total by one yard. His pass catchers played a role in his inefficiency, as the Baltimore receiving corps had several key drops throughout the game. On the other hand, Jackson also had some mistakes of his own, most notably throwing an interception deep in Pittsburgh territory with a chance to clinch victory late in the fourth quarter. He also lost a fumble one possession later, which gave the Steelers a chance to run out the clock. Overall, Jackson has had an inconsistent start to the season, tallying multiple total touchdowns in three of five games but zero in the remaining two contests.

  • Joe Burrow QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Burrow: Breaks out against Cards

    Burrow completed 36 of 46 passes for 317 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 34-20 win over the Cardinals.

    He added seven rushing yards on four carries. For the first time this season, Burrow didn't seem to be bothered by the calf he originally injured at the beginning of training camp, as he hit Ja'Marr Chase for scores in the first, third and fourth quarters, the longest going for 63 yards. It's the QB's first 300-yard effort of 2023 and the 17th of his NFL career, and if his calf is 100 percent again, Burrow could continue making up for his slow start in Week 6 against a Seahawks secondary that's already allowed three quarterbacks to throw for over 300 yards in only four games.
