Murray completed 28 of 42 passes for 250 yards, one touchdown and one interception against Philadelphia on Sunday while running for 42 yards on four carries.

Murray has yet to post a clean box score in 2022, making this the fifth disappointment in a row. The Cardinals organization has issues that have nothing to do with Murray, but that means he has only so much control over his own destiny. The good news is the Seattle defense seemingly can't stop anyone, so Murray should be able to generate some momentum against the Seahawks in Week 6. The return of DeAndre Hopkins could give Murray a big boost in Week 7 when the Cardinals get a tougher test against New Orleans.

Mayfield was checked for an ankle injury at halftime of Sunday's 37-15 loss to the 49ers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. Per Gantt, Mayfield had a walking boot on after the game.

Mayfield stayed in after being evaluated at halftime and was ultimately replaced by P.J. Walker for Carolina's last possession with the Panthers trailing 37-15. The post-game walking boot suggests that exit may have been more than precautionary, so Mayfield's ability to practice will bear monitoring ahead of Carolina's Week 6 road game against the Rams. Mayfield completed 20 of 36 passes for 215 yards and one interception in addition to being sacked four times prior to being lifted from the blowout loss.

Hurts completed 27 of 36 passes for 239 yards against Arizona on Sunday while running for 61 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries.

Hurts was somewhat disappointing as a passer while the Eagles offense scored just 20 points, but Philadelphia emerged with the win and avoided the trap game to go 5-0 through five weeks. Hurts should do better as a passer most weeks so long as he has A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert to throw to, and, as this game emphasized, he often gets the most enviable cut of the Eagles ground game too. Hurts should continue to produce like a top fantasy quarterback, especially if he can get left tackle Jordan Mailata (shoulder) back before the Eagles face a potent Dallas pass rush in Week 6.

Brissett completed 21 of 34 passes for 230 yards with one touchdown and one interception and rushed three times for 32 yards in the Browns' 30-28 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

Brissett turned in yet another serviceable stat line, but after leading an 11-play, 75-yard touchdown drive, he threw an interception in the end zone on the Browns' penultimate possession and then threw back-to-back incompletions on Cleveland's final march, which forced a difficult 54-yard field-goal attempt for rookie Cade York that sailed wide right. Brissett did show excellent chemistry with Amari Cooper and David Njoku, who were on the receiving end of 13 of his completions, 164 of his yards and his one touchdown pass (Cooper). Brissett has come up short at some key moments thus far, but he should be able to keep his team competitive in a Week 6 home matchup versus his old Patriots squad.

Herbert completed 22 of 34 pass attempts for 228 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-28 win over the Browns. He also carried the ball five times for 13 yards.

Herbert took a back seat as the Chargers compiled 238 rushing yards against a porous Browns run defense. The young quarterback has been absolutely dynamic to begin the season, as Herbert is currently second in the NFL in passing yards and near the top of the league in TD:INT (10:2). The fact he's done almost all this damage without top wideout Keenan Allen (hamstring) is all the more surprising. Expect things to get a bit more difficult for Herbert and company next week against a tough Broncos defense.

Wilson completed 14 of 21 passes for 210 yards while adding two yards and a touchdown on four rushing attempts in Sunday's 40-17 win over the Dolphins.

Wilson's 79-yard pass to Breece Hall on the final play of the first quarter set up a one-yard Michael Carter rushing touchdown to open the second, and the quarterback ran one in himself from five yards out later in the first half. New York went on to add three more rushing touchdowns in the fourth quarter as Wilson's mistake-free performance allowed the Jets to pull away in a game they led wire to wire. Between Hall and Carter in the backfield and the wide receiver trio of Garrett Wilson, Corey Davis and Elijah Moore, the Jets have surrounded their second-year quarterback with weapons, and Wilson has responded by winning his first two starts of the season since returning from a preseason knee injury. He'll look to extend that winning streak in Week 6 against the Packers.

Lawrence completed 25 of 47 pass attempts for 286 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions while adding 29 yards on four carries in Sunday's 13-6 loss to Houston.

Lawrence failed to deliver at key points of long drives, which explains his new season high in yards despite leading zero touchdown drives. Last year's first-overall pick didn't have any fumbles after losing four last week, but he threw an untimely red zone interception in the second quarter and ended the game with a second pick on an underthrown Hail Mary attempt. Lawrence has shown slight improvement over his rough rookie campaign, but the results haven't matched the hype so far from a fantasy perspective. Things won't get easier for the sophomore quarterback, as the Jaguars will take on a stout Indianapolis defense that could have star linebacker Shaquille Leonard (concussion) back by next Sunday.

Zappe completed 17 of 21 passes for 188 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Patriots' 29-0 win over the Lions on Sunday. He also rushed five times for five yards and committed a fumble recovered by New England.

The rookie had acquitted himself well in emergency duty against the Packers in Week 4, and he put together another competent, game-manager-like performance Sunday in which he had the luxury of leaning heavily on his running game. Zappe did his part by limiting his turnovers as well and not taking any sacks, and he connected with Jakobi Meyers for a nifty 24-yard touchdown toss in the third quarter. Mac Jones (ankle) could reportedly return in Week 6 to face the Browns on the road, but Zappe now has some game reps under his belt and therefore would have a chance to keep the Patriots afloat in a favorable matchup if he had to draw a second straight start.

Thompson replaced the injured Teddy Bridgewater (head) in the first quarter of Sunday's 40-17 loss to the Jets and completed 19 of 33 passes for 166 yards and one interception. He also lost a fumble.

Despite his modest stat line, Thompson moved Miami's offense effectively until the fourth quarter, leading a pair of touchdown drives while benefiting from a few generous pass interference calls on New York's defense. His second-quarter interception was sandwiched between those touchdown drives, but the rookie seventh-round pick struggled down the stretch, as Miami's final three possessions ended with his fumble followed by a pair of turnovers on downs. If neither Bridgewater nor Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) can get cleared before the Vikings come to town for Week 6, Thompson would be in line to make his first NFL start.

Mills completed 16 of 24 pass attempts for 140 yards and rushed twice for two yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jaguars.

Mills led Houston to its first victory of the regular season, but likely didn't lead any fantasy teams to glory with a mediocre stat line. On a positive note, the 23-year-old did not turn the ball over after throwing four interceptions over his previous two outings. The Texans enter a bye week following Sunday's win, so Mills will return to action against the Raiders on Oct. 23.
