Purdy completed 17 of 25 pass attempts for 206 yards and rushed three times for five yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Rams.

Purdy finished without a passing touchdown in a regular-season start for the first time in his young career. The 24-year-old salvaged what would have been a mediocre fantasy line with a short rushing score on a quarterback sneak as time expired in the first half. Purdy missed on a couple of deep shots but otherwise played a clean game and got the ball into the hands of his playmakers quickly. Purdy will look to get back into the touchdown column in the 49ers' home opener against the Giants on Thursday Night Football.

Prescott completed 31 of 38 passes for 255 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets. He added 14 rushing yards on six carries.

It was another impressive all-around performance from the Cowboys, and Prescott got in on the action by completing his first 13 pass attempts and connecting with tight ends Jake Ferguson and Luke Schoonmaker on two short TD passes in the first half. Prescott's fantasy value through two weeks has largely been dependent on just how dominant the Dallas defense has been, and he may not need to do too much again in a Week 3 road matchup against the 0-2 Cardinals.

Wilson completed 18 of 32 pass attempts for 308 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 35-33 loss to Washington. He added 56 rushing yards on six attempts.

Wilson turned back the clock and posted a stat line we haven't seen since his days in Seattle. It was the first time the 34-year-old threw for 300 yards with multiple scores since joining Denver last season. Wilson came out with a more aggressive mindset as a passer and runner following an underwhelming debut under head coach Sean Payton in Week 1. He connected for two deep scores to Marvin Mims Jr. and Brandon Johnson, and his 56 rushing yards would have been the second-highest total from his entire 2022 game log. Wilson can regain a chunk of his depleted fantasy value if he can maintain this playing style going forward, starting with a road matchup against the Dolphins next Sunday.

Wilson completed 12 of 27 passes for 170 yards and one touchdown with three interceptions in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cowboys. He added 36 rushing yards on five carries.

The third-year QB actually led the Jets in rushing, as the Dallas defense put together another dominant performance. Wilson's numbers in the first half were fairly solid, highlighted by a 68-yard TD pass to Garrett Wilson (undisclosed) in the second quarter, but all three of his INTs came on New York's final three drives as he tried to make something happen to bring his team back from a 17-point deficit. Wilson faces another potentially tough matchup in Week 3 against the Patriots.

Dobbs completed 21 of 31 passes for 228 yards and a touchdown while adding 41 rushing yards and a TD on three carries in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Giants. He also ran in a two-point conversion.

The journeyman quarterback led the Cardinals to a 20-0 halftime lead, highlighted by Dobbs' 23-yard TD run early in the second quarter, but Arizona's offense went cold after intermission and let New York come storming back. Dobbs has done more than enough so far to keep rookie Clayton Tune on the bench, but the Cardinals face an extremely tough matchup in Week 3 when the Cowboys come to town.

Herbert completed 27 of 41 passes for 305 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Titans.

The Chargers were willing to put the offense in Herbert's hands, and he responded with an excellent performance. He completed four passes of 20 or more yards while also tossing touchdowns from eight and 12 yards away, both of which went to Keenan Allen. Herbert's volume was also reassuring, as he was limited to only 33 attempts in Week 1 as the team ran its offense through the ground game. Overall, he has 534 passing yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions across two games this season.

Jones completed 26 of 37 passes for 321 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Cardinals. He added 59 rushing yards and another TD on nine carries.

With the Giants down 20-0 at halftime, Jones led a remarkable second-half comeback that he sparked with a 14-yard TD scamper early in the third quarter. It was a much-needed rebound after New York's no-show against Dallas in its opener, but falling behind early to an Arizona team generally regarded as one of the worst in the NFL coming into 2023 is still a worrying sign. Things don't get any easier for Jones and the Giants in Week 3, as they'll head to San Francisco for a Thursday night tilt against the undefeated 49ers.

Allen completed 31 of 37 passes for 274 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Raiders. He added three rushes for seven yards.

Allen threw away Buffalo's chance for a Week 1 victory against the Jets due to four total turnovers and three interceptions. However, he managed to flip that script against the Raiders, as he distributed the ball very effectively to open pass catchers -- evidenced by the fact that seven receivers tallied multiple receptions. If there were to be an ongoing concern, it would be lack of rushing production from Allen, as he now has only 43 yards on the ground combined across his first two games of the campaign. Nevertheless, he and the Bills offense got back on track and will now head into a Week 3 matchup against the Commanders.

Minshew entered the Colts' 31-20 win over the Texans for Anthony Richardson (concussion) with 12:45 remaining in the second quarter and completed 19 of 23 passes for 171 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and added two rushes for three yards.

Minshew's second straight emergency assignment went off nearly perfectly, with the backup as sharp as his final line implies. Minshew has quickly proven to be a prudent offseason signing for the Colts due to his existing knowledge of new head coach Shane Steichen's system and Richardson's pair of in-game injuries thus far. If Richardson is unable to return for a Week 3 road matchup against the Ravens, Minshew will be in line for his first start of the season.

Lawrence completed 22 of 41 passes for 216 yards without a touchdown or interception in Sunday's 17-9 loss to Kansas City. He added five rushing attempts for 26 yards and fumbled twice, losing one.

Lawrence didn't lead a touchdown drive and failed on two crucial fourth downs in Kansas City territory, getting sacked by Chris Jones in the second quarter and throwing an incomplete pass from the 16-yard line on Jacksonville's final possession. After topping 250 yards in eight of 17 games last season, Lawrence has fallen short of that mark twice in as many games heading into a Week 3 home game against the Texans, who held him to 438 yards and a 0:3 TD:INT across two meetings in 2022.
