Young completed 25 of 41 passes for 247 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 42-24 loss to the Lions. He also rushed once for four yards.

Young's two turnovers both led to Detroit touchdowns, digging Carolina an 18-point deficit by halftime. Although he was able to salvage some production in the fourth quarter with touchdown tosses to DJ Chark and Adam Thielen, Young's career-best yardage and TD totals came in a sizeable loss. The rookie could very well find himself playing from behind yet again in Week 6 at the Dolphins.

Jones said after Sunday's 31-16 loss at Miami that he has some discomfort in his neck but otherwise feels OK, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Jones also noted that the Giants will know more about the injury Monday, with Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports relaying that the QB has an MRI on tap to determine its nature and extent. At the time of his exit in the fourth quarter Sunday, he had just 119 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions on 14-for-20 passing and 24 more yards on four carries. If Jones needs to miss any time, Tyrod Taylor is on hand to man quarterback for New York.

Tagovailoa completed 22 of 30 passes for 308 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Dolphins' 31-16 win over the Giants on Sunday. He also rushed twice for six yards.

Tagovailoa uncharacteristically was guilty of a pair of miscues, with his first interception late in the second quarter going for a pick-six to give the Giants their first first half-points of the season. The fourth-year pro made up for it with his yardage total and pair of touchdown passes, which went for two and 69 yards to Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill, respectively. Tagovailoa has now thrown for over 300 yards in three of his first five games of the campaign, and he'll draw another favorable matchup in Week 6 when the Panthers come to town.

Stroud completed 20 of 35 passes for 249 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and rushed once for two yards in the Texans' 21-19 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

Stroud remained mistake-free for the fifth time in as many NFL games, breaking Dak Prescott's record for most consecutive pass attempts without an interception to start a career. It briefly appeared Stroud had led Houston to its third win when he hit Dalton Schultz for an 18-yard touchdown pass with 1:49 remaining to cap off an 11-play drive. However, Desmond Ridder was able to lead Atlanta back down the field for an eventual game-winning field goal, but Stroud turned in another solid, albeit unspectacular, performance for fantasy managers. The rookie will take a 7:0 TD:INT and at least 242 passing yards in each game thus far into a Week 6 home matchup versus the Saints.

Goff completed 20 of 28 passes for 236 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 42-24 win over the Panthers. He also rushed for a one-yard touchdown.

Goff turned in his best performance of the season despite not having top target Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) available. The veteran signal-caller found fantastic rookie tight end Sam LaPorta for a pair of first-half scores, with a touchdown to Josh Reynolds sandwiched between. Goff also snuck in for a rushing TD, capping a standout display that included no turnovers. With a trip to Tampa Bay up next, Goff will hope St. Brown and tailback Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) can return to bolster his options in Week 6.

Jones completed 12 of 22 pass attempts for 110 yards with two interceptions and a fumble before being replaced by Bailey Zappe with 13:03 left in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 34-0 loss to the Saints, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

After taking over for Jones, Zappe completed three of nine passes for 22 yards. With the Patriots now 1-4 and Jones having been pulled from two straight contests, it remains to be seen who the team's starting QB will be next weekend against the Raiders. Either way, Jones doesn't profile as a high-percentage fantasy option in Week 6.

Jones won't return to Sunday's game in Miami due to a neck issue, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.

Jones' injury came in the midst of getting sacked for the sixth time among 12 quarterback hits Sunday. At the point of his departure in the fourth quarter, he had completed 14 of 20 passes for 119 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing four times for 24 yards. Tyrod Taylor subbed in for Jones and will lead the Giants offense for as long as the latter is sidelined.

Jones exited Sunday's game at Miami in the fourth quarter due to an undisclosed injury, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.

After getting sacked for the sixth time Sunday, Jones appeared woozy getting to his feet before going to the sideline tent, and eventually, the locker room. As long as Jones is sidelined, Tyrod Taylor will direct the Giants offense.

X-rays on Richardson's injured right shoulder came back negative after he was evaluated in the locker room following his exit from Sunday's game against the Titans, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Richardson has already been ruled out for a return to Sunday's contest, but the fact that he's not dealing with any broken bones is at least a welcome sight. He'll still be sent in for further testing in the coming days as the Colts look to discern whether his shoulder injury is serious enough to prevent him from playing Week 6 in Jacksonville and beyond. Gardner Minshew will serve as the Colts' quarterback for the rest of Sunday's contest in place of Richardson, who completed nine of 12 pass attempts for 98 yards and rushed twice for five yards prior to his exit.

Mullens (back) is inactive Sunday against the Chiefs.

Mullens logged limited practices throughout the week, but he'll be unable to backup Kirk Cousins against Kansas City. Jaren Hall will instead get that opportunity in Week 5.
