  • Bears' Justin Fields: Gets second win despite two picks

    Fields completed eight of 17 passes for 106 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Texans. He added 47 rushing yards on eight attempts.

    Fields narrowly avoided disaster by recovering his own fumble on Chicago's first offensive play and ended up setting up an opening-drive field goal with a 29-yard scramble later in the drive. Chicago continued to find success on the ground, even after David Montgomery (knee/ankle) left the game, but Fields' struggles throwing the ball persisted. He was intercepted late in the first quarter and again early in the fourth, but it was a Davis Mills interception that proved to be decisive, as it set up Chicago's game-winning field goal as time expired. Fields has thrown for just 297 yards through three starts heading into a Week 4 road matchup with the Giants.

  • Jameis Winston QB | NYG

    Saints' Jameis Winston: Turnovers persist in Week 3 loss

    Winston (back/ankle) completed 25 of 41 passes for 353 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 22-14 loss to Carolina. He added five rushing yards on two attempts.

    Winston has looked hindered by his injuries over the past two games, as he failed to lead the Saints to any points in the first half before accumulating plenty of second-half yardage as New Orleans went pass-heavy while playing catch-up. Winston's four-yard touchdown pass to Marquez Callaway with 2:22 remaining made it a one-possession game, but his fifth interception in the last two games dashed any hopes of a New Orleans comeback. He'll bring an uninspiring 4:5 TD:INT across the pond for the Saints' Week 4 game against the Vikings in London.

  • Mac Jones QB | SF

    Patriots' Mac Jones: Dealing with ankle injury

    X-Rays on Jones' ankle following Sunday's 37-26 loss to the Ravens, were negative, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    That said, the QB's ankle will continue to be evaluated, so Jones' status for next Sunday's game against the Packers will be worth monitoring. If he's forced to miss practice reps this coming week, Brian Hoyer would be next in line to handle New England's signal-caller reps.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Another stellar showing Sunday

    Jackson completed 18 of 29 passes for 218 yards with four touchdowns and one interception, adding 107 yards and another score on 11 rushes in Sunday's 37-26 win over the Patriots.

    Jackson continued the stellar start to his contract season with another lights-out effort that saw him essentially single-handedly topple a resilient Patriots team on the road. Jackson connected with Mark Andrews from five and 16 yards out in the first half for his first pair of scoring tosses before finding Josh Oliver and Devin Duvernay for the latter two touchdown passes, the final one a spectacular play in the right corner of the end zone. Factoring in a nine-yard scoring scamper with three minutes remaining that sealed the game for Baltimore, it was a spectacular fantasy performance for Jackson, who now has 12 total touchdowns through three games. Jackson now turns his sights to a Week 4 showdown at home against Josh Allen and the Bills.

  • Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Falls short on road Sunday

    Mahomes completed 20 of 35 passes for 262 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Chiefs' 20-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday. He also rushed four times for 26 yards.

    The star signal-caller was unable to work his magic Sunday against a desperate Colts team looking for its first win. Mahomes did display some good rapport with his top two wideouts in JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, hitting the duo on nine occasions for 137 yards on 15 targets. Mahomes also connected with Travis Kelce for his one touchdown pass from three yards out late in the first quarter. However, Mahomes was directly responsible for short-circuiting his team's final chance at a win, as his final pass of the day, intended for Smith-Schuster, was picked off by Rodney McLeod at the Colts' 36-yard line with two seconds remaining. Mahomes will look to regroup in time for a Week 4 road showdown against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers.

  • Josh Allen QB | BUF

    Bills' Josh Allen: Massive statistical effort in loss

    Allen completed 42 of 63 passes for 400 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Bills' 21-19 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also rushed eight times for 47 yards and committed three fumbles, losing one.

    Allen's final numbers certainly won't disappoint fantasy managers, and they're all the more impressive when considering he ultimately lost Stefon Diggs to dehydration late in the contest and was in a tough road environment. Allen's target distribution was off the charts, as he connected with 11 different pass catchers overall. However, Allen and the offense simply came up short late, with the star signal-caller unable to convert a fourth-down play near the goal line inside of two minutes remaining and then being unable to down the ball before time ran out after a completion to Isaiah McKenzie. Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports Allen also noted after the game that he'd taken a helmet or face mask to his hand late in the game but was "fine."

  • Joe Burrow QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Burrow: Rides hot start to first win

    Burrow completed 23 of 36 passes for 275 yards and three touchdowns while rushing five times for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 27-12 win over the Jets.

    Burrow threw for 95 yards on the opening drive, which he capped with a 12-yard touchdown pass to Samaje Perine, and he finished the first quarter with 163 yards and two touchdowns after linking up with Tyler Boyd for a 56-yard touchdown on the final play of the quarter. A five-yard touchdown pass to Ja'Marr Chase put the Bengals up 27-9 in the third quarter, but Cincinnati was otherwise content milking the clock on offense en route to its first win of 2022. Burrow will bring a 6:4 TD:INT into Thursday's Week 4 clash with the undefeated Dolphins.

  • Tua Tagovailoa QB | ATL

    Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Dealt with back issues in win

    Tagovailoa, who completed 13 of 18 passes for 186 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and netted no gain on one rush in the Dolphins' 21-19 win over the Bills on Sunday, dealt with a back injury during the first half, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    The third-year quarterback exited the game late in the first half with what was believed to be a head injury and was eventually cleared of a concussion. Tagovailoa was able to play the second half without interruption, but Rapoport notes the signal-caller's back was injured on a first-quarter sneak before locking up after the second-quarter sack that forced him from the contest. Nevertheless, Tagovailoa's ability to finish the game and his highly efficient performance overall are both highly encouraging with a short week ahead of a Week 4 road matchup against the Bengals on Thursday night.

  • Panthers' Baker Mayfield: Helped by long TD

    Mayfield completed 12 of 25 passes for 170 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-14 win over the Saints.

    Mayfield's performance was propped up by a 67-yard, catch-and-run touchdown by Laviska Shenault to begin the fourth quarter. Overall, though, Mayfield still completed under 50 percent of his passes for the second straight game. With starting wideouts DJ Moore and Robbie Anderson combining for just 16 yards through the air Sunday, Mayfield will strive to finally get the passing game clicking in Week 4 versus the Cardinals.

  • Mac Jones QB | SF

    Patriots' Mac Jones: Dealing with leg injury

    Jones, who completed 22 of 32 passes for 321 yards with no touchdowns and three interceptions in the Patriots' 37-26 loss to the Ravens on Sunday, sustained a leg injury late in the contest, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Jones suffered the injury on his third and final interception of the day, limping off the field after the play was over. The second-year signal-caller generated a season-high yardage figure in the loss, and he's now posted an ugly 2:5 TD:INT through three contests. With his health now in question in the immediate aftermath of Sunday's defeat, Jones' status for a Week 4 road matchup against the Packers figures to be firmly up in the air for at least the early portion of the week.
