Stafford completed 26 of 33 passes for 253 yards and a touchdown with one interception in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Panthers.

The veteran quarterback struggled early once again and threw a pick-six to Donte Jackson that resulted in the Rams heading into halftime down 10-7. Stafford turned things around in the second half however, eliminating further miscues and guiding Los Angeles to 17 unanswered points. He's committed at least one turnover in all but one game so far this season, but Stafford seems to be righting his ship and will get the Rams' bye week to prepare ahead of a Week 8 clash with the 49ers.

Dalton completed 17 of 32 pass attempts for 162 yards and one touchdown (no turnovers) in Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Bengals.

Dalton wasn't as efficient as we'd seen in his last two starts in place of Jameis Winston (back/ankle), but he did have the Saints leading late in the fourth quarter. The aforementioned Winston was healthy enough to suit up as the backup, but it was reported before the game that Dalton could continue to start with strong play, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. It is worth noting that the veteran signal-caller was without his three top receiving options, but the results were still vanilla from a fantasy standpoint. Should Dalton continue to start for New Orleans, he would do so on a short week against the Cardinals on Thursday.

Walker cleared the concussion protocol but has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Rams due to a neck injury, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Walker completed 10 of 16 passes for 60 yards and rushed once for minus-1 yard prior to being replaced by third-stringer Jacob Eason. He started in place of Baker Mayfield (ankle). Walker was originally evaluated for a head injury, but the injury appears to be to his neck instead.

Rush will serve as the Cowboys' starting quarterback Sunday at Philadelphia with Dak Prescott (thumb) inactive.

Such was the expectation, but Prescott may have put himself in a position to return Week 7 versus the Lions after going through a throwing session ahead of Sunday's game. In the meantime, though, Rush will receive a fifth consecutive start, the first four of which resulted in Cowboys wins. During those performances, he completed 62 percent of his passes (65 of 105) for 705 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions.

Walker is being evaluated for a head injury Sunday against the Rams, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Jacob Eason replaced the injured Walker under center in the second half. Walker completed 10 of 16 passes for only 60 yards and rushed once for minus-1 yard in a disastrous performance prior to getting hurt. Walker's return can be considered questionable at this time.

Prescott (thumb) is listed as inactive Sunday in Philadelphia, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Prescott will miss a fifth game in a row as he continues his recovery from a broken right thumb that he suffered in the season opener. However, he drew closer to a return to game action by capping Week 6 prep with back-to-back limited sessions, heading into the weekend with a questionable designation and setting him up for a pregame workout before Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. On Sunday morning, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reported that Prescott's throwing session will determine whether he has a chance to come back Week 7 against the Lions. The results of said warmup aren't known, but with inactive status again confirmed, Prescott will yield quarterback duties for the Cowboys to Cooper Rush.

Cousins completed 20 of 30 passes for 175 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Vikings' 24-16 win over the Dolphins on Sunday. He also netted minus-5 yards on two carries.

Cousins stayed away from turnovers, but he also averaged just 5.8 yards per attempt and took three sacks. A significant chunk of his yardage tally came on a 47-yard pass to Justin Jefferson late in the third quarter that set up a two-yard touchdown toss to Adam Thielen two plays later. Cousins' other scoring connection came with Irv Smith from one yard out in the second quarter, and he's now posted a trio of two-touchdown efforts in his first six games in new head coach Kevin O'Connell's system. He'll aim to boost his yardage totals back up in a Week 8 Monday night home matchup against the Bears following a Week 7 bye.

Bridgewater entered Sunday's loss to the Vikings for an injured Skylar Thompson (thumb) with 11:38 remaining in the second quarter and completed 23 of 34 passes for 329 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. He also rushed once for 10 yards.

Bridgewater found himself in a similar scenario as when he entered the Week 4 loss to the Bengals for Tua Tagovailoa, and he was even more impressive Sunday while putting the Dolphins in position to at least attempt an onside kick with more than a minute remaining and down by eight. Both of Bridgewater's touchdown passes went to an unlikely target in tight end Mike Gesicki, but he displayed outstanding chemistry with the elite wideout duo of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle as well. Bridgewater has unquestionably demonstrated his value as an insurance policy, but he's slated to remain in the No. 2 role in Week 7 against the Steelers next Sunday night with Tagovailoa slated to return to action after clearing concussion protocol Saturday.

Burrow completed 28 of 37 pass attempts for 300 yards and three touchdowns while adding 25 rushing yards and another score on four carries in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Saints.

Burrow wore teammate Ja'Marr Chase's college uniform while entering the Superdome -- the location where the duo won a national championship with LSU -- and the star players put on a clinic against New Orleans on the road. The 25-year-old led the game-winning drive to get the Bengals back to 3-3 while also restoring faith in his fantasy managers following a down game against Baltimore last week. Burrow has now scored 14 total touchdowns (12 passing) to go against seven turnovers, but six of those seven came in one game to open the season. After missing the entire preseason following emergency appendectomy surgery, the star quarterback looks to be hitting his stride heading into a favorable matchup at home against Atlanta next Sunday.

Lawrence completed 20 of 22 passes for 163 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Jaguars' 34-27 loss to the Colts on Sunday. He also rushed six times for 23 yards and two touchdowns.

Lawrence's near-perfect day in terms of completion percentage netted a modest yardage total, but he made up for it with his one- and two-yard touchdown runs. Lawrence connected with eight different pass catchers overall and hit Christian Kirk for a four-yard touchdown pass with 2:44 remaining to cap off an 18-play, 84-yard march, only to see Matt Ryan lead the Colts down the field on 11 plays for the game-winning score. Lawrence now has a pair of sub-200-yard passing yardage tallies in the last three games, an undesirable trend he'll look to break out of in a Week 7 home matchup against the Giants.
