White completed 37 of 45 passes for 405 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Bengals. He add minus-1 yard on five rushing attempts and caught a two-point conversion.

Making his first NFL start, White led the Jets to an opening-drive touchdown, with Michael Carter scoring on an eight-yard scamper. White proceeded to throw interceptions on both of the next two possessions as Cincinnati built up a 17-7 lead. The quarterback then bounced back nicely in the two-minute drill, shaking off the disappointment of an overturned would-be Keelan Cole touchdown by finding Braxton Berrios for an eight-yard score two plays later to cut the deficit to three heading into halftime. After a quiet third quarter, he heated back up with the game on the line, throwing touchdown passes of 19 yards to Ty Johnson and 13 yards to Tyler Kroft, the latter of which White followed up with a back-shoulder catch for a two-point conversion on a trick play. White fittingly closed it out himself by converting a third-and-1 for the game-sealing first down on a quarterback sneak. After White topped 400 passing yards in his first career start and led New York to its second win of the season, head coach Robert Saleh confirmed that the 26-year-old would remain the team's QB for a Thursday matchup with the Colts in Week 9, according to Al Iannazzone of Newsday.

Walker did not complete his only passing attempt after replacing Sam Darnold (concussion) in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 19-13 win over the Falcons.

Walker saw action for the second straight game, but this time he entered due to Darnold being injured rather than being ineffective. Although the Panthers being on the three-yard line when Walker entered immediately gave him a chance to throw a touchdown, the signal-caller couldn't capitalize on his opportunity. With Carolina declining to pass on a pair of three-and-out drives afterward, Walker's exposure was limited, but he may be forced to lead the team if Darnold isn't cleared ahead of Week 9's matchup versus the Patriots.

Tagovailoa completed 21 of 39 passes for 205 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in the Dolphins' 26-11 loss to the Bills on Sunday. He also rushed four times for 10 yards and a touchdown, threw a two-point conversion pass and fumbled once without turning it over.

Tagovailoa's numbers through the air tell the tale of a typical encounter with the Bills' suffocating secondary, which leads the league in multiple pass defense metrics. The second-year signal-caller did take advantage of the return of current top wideout DeVante Parker by targeting him on 11 occasions and completing eight passes for 85 yards on those attempts. Tagovailoa also helped prop up his final line with his one-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter and his subsequent two-point conversion toss to Mike Gesicki, but it otherwise was an underwhelming day for the Dolphins' struggling offense as a whole. Tagovailoa will look to boost his numbers Week 9 as Miami hosts the Texans.

Goff completed 25 of 34 pass attempts for 222 yards during Sunday's 44-6 loss to the Eagles.

In addition to taking five sacks, Goff again was booed by his home crowd after intentionally throwing the ball away on a fourth down for yet another time this season. With Detroit now winless through eight games, it will be interesting to see if the Lions use their impending bye week to prepare David Blough to run the offense in Week 10. Tim Boyle (thumb), who recently began throwing footballs without a brace, could also be an option in the near future. However, neither of these guys have much upside to get excited about, especially on a team where the likes of Kalif Raymond stands as the No. 1 wide receiver.

Allen completed 29 of 42 passes for 249 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Bills' 26-11 win over the Dolphins on Sunday. He also rushed eight times for 55 yards and another score and fumbled once without turning it over.

While the final score shows a 15-point margin of victory, the actual flow of the contest was that of a much tougher win. Buffalo managed to pull away late with 16 fourth-quarter points, with Allen contributing a 19-yard touchdown pass to Stefon Diggs early in the period. The star quarterback also helmed a time-consuming 14-play, 59-yard drive later in the quarter that culminated in a Tyler Bass 39-yard field goal and gave the Bills some all-important breathing room at 20-11 while also leaving Miami with just 3:33 on the clock. Allen's final numbers, which he padded with a seven-yard touchdown scamper to close things out with 1:07 remaining, were certainly fantasy-friendly enough, and he's now tossed multiple touchdown passes in six straight contests. Allen will look to continue his stellar run of play when the Bills travel to face the Jaguars in Week 9.

Fields completed 19 of 27 passes for 175 yards, a touchdown and an interception while rushing 10 times for 103 yards and touchdown in the Bears' 33-22 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Fields had his first big game as a runner, showing elite rushing ability on a fourth down when he was about to be sacked, but he broke free, changed direction and raced through traffic for a touchdown. Despite his great running performance, that was his first rushing score since taking over as the starter, and he's averaging fewer than one touchdown pass and 200 yards per game. He'll be a risky fantasy option until he shows more consistency.

Hurts completed nine of his 14 passing attempts for 103 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and added seven carries for 71 yards in Sunday's 44-6 win over the Lions.

The Eagles were able to run at will on Detroit and had a three-score lead at the half, so Hurts' arm took a back seat in this one. All of his passing numbers were season lows. On the bright side, he led the team in rushing. With a much better opposing offense on tap in the Chargers in Week 9, the 23-year-old will likely have to throw more to keep up the pace.

Darnold sustained a concussion during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game in Atlanta, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Darnold took a hit to his upper right arm at the end of an eight-yard run and was slow to get up. He eventually made his way to the locker room, where he was diagnosed with a head injury. Now subject to NFL protocols to be able to return, Darnold will have exactly one week to pass all five phases and make himself available to the Panthers offense. In the meantime, though, P.J. Walker will take over for Darnold under center. Prior to exiting Sunday's contest, Darnold completed 13 of 24 passes for 129 yards and rushed eight times for 66 yards.

Murray is dealing with what Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports is a medial ankle sprain.

Per the report, the Cardinals are hoping that the extra rest afforded by the fact that the team played this past Thursday will give Murray enough time to recover in time for a Nov. 7 contest against the 49ers. With that in mind, the QB's status will be worth monitoring closely once Arizona resumes practicing ahead of Week 9 action. If Murray misses any time, Colt McCoy would be next up for reps.

Wilson is expected to have the pins removed from his surgically repaired right middle finger early this week, and the signal-caller continues to target the Seahawks' Week 10 game in Green Bay on Nov. 14 for a return to action, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

When he initially underwent the procedure Oct. 8, Wilson was projected to miss anywhere from 4-to-8 weeks, but the quarterback looks to be honing in on a return at the short end of that timeline. Wilson is said to be progressing well after having the stitches removed from his finger this past week, and he'll take another step forward in the recovery process if the pins are in fact removed in the coming days. Geno Smith will draw a third straight start in Wilson's stead Sunday against the Jaguars, but the latter looks on pace to be ready to go following the Seahawks' Week 9 bye. The Seahawks likely won't confirm whether Wilson is trending toward a Week 10 return until the coaching and training staffs have a chance to evaluate him in practice.
