  • Kyler Murray QB | MIN

    Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Leads win over Rams

    Murray completed 24 of 32 passes for 268 yards and two touchdowns while adding 39 rushing yards on six carries in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Rams.

    The third-year quarterback was sharp in helping to keep the Cardinals undefeated, but between an impressive effort from the team's ground game and the Arizona defense holding Matthew Stafford relatively in check, Murray didn't have to carry the entire load. He's produced 12 TDs through four games -- nine passing, three rushing -- and he could need to come up big again in Week 5 in another tough divisional matchup against the 49ers.

  • Russell Wilson QB | NYG

    Seahawks' Russell Wilson: Three scores but meager yardage

    Wilson completed 16-of-23 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns against San Francisco on Sunday, adding four carries for 26 yards and one touchdown.

    The three touchdowns were a useful reminder that Wilson doesn't need much usage volume to find the end zone regularly, but the Seattle offense sputtered at times Sunday and Wilson's usage remained low for the fourth game in a row. Wilson's efficiency and explosiveness are as high as ever through one month, but the Seahawks are not running many plays, and as a result Wilson is averaging just 27.3 pass attempts and 3.8 carries per game through four weeks. The Seahawks offense will look to pick up the pace in Thursday's Week 5 matchup with the Rams.

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Packers' Aaron Rodgers: Efficient, mistake-free in win

    Rodgers completed 20 of 36 passes for 248 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Packers' 27-17 win over the Steelers on Sunday. He also rushed three times for two yards.

    Rodgers wasn't at his absolute sharpest, but he did tie Dan Marino for sixth all-time in touchdown passes (420) in a mistake-free effort. The future Hall of Famer connected with Randall Cobb on scoring tosses of 23 yards and one yard, the latter the milestone throw in the latter portion of the third quarter. Rodgers has yet to author his first 300-yard effort of the season, but he now boasts a fantasy-friendly 8:2 TD:INT through four games and has multiple touchdown passes in three straight. Rodgers will look to keep up his strong start in a Week 5 road showdown against Joe Burrow and the Bengals.

  • Trey Lance QB | LAC

    49ers' Trey Lance: Steps in for injured Garoppolo

    Lance completed 9-of-18 passes for 157 yards and two touchdowns against Seattle on Sunday, running for 41 yards on seven carries.

    Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a calf injury and left the game after completing 14-of-23 passes for 165 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the first half. Lance was somewhat hit-or-miss and had some help from the Seattle defense when they forgot to cover Deebo Samuel on a 76-yard touchdown in the third quarter, but the playmaking ability was quickly evident when Lance took over the offense. It's not clear whether coach Kyle Shanahan will reconsider his quarterback depth chart in light of this game, nor is it known how serious Garoppolo's calf injury might be. The answers to those two questions will hold a lot of sway over San Francisco's fantasy fortunes as they prepare for a road matchup with an intimidating Arizona defense in Week 5.

  • Dak Prescott QB | DAL

    Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Throws four touchdowns

    Prescott completed 14 of his 22 pass attempts for 188 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's Week 4 win over the Panthers. He added four rushes for 35 yards.

    Dallas jumped out to a three-possession lead by late in the third quarter, which limited Prescott to only two passes in the final 17 minutes of the game. However, he was efficient with his opportunities to average 8.5 yards per attempt. Prescott also delivered touchdowns of 35, 23, 18 and six yards -- each of which went to a different receiver. In spite of a disappointing performance against the Chargers, Prescott has at least three touchdowns in three of four games heading into a Week 5 matchup against the Giants.

  • Zach Wilson QB | NO

    Jets' Zach Wilson: Heats up late to get first win

    Wilson completed 21 of 34 passes for 297 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Titans. He also had minus-2 yards on three rushing attempts.

    Wilson threw the eighth interception of his young career on the Jets' third possession after a pair of punts, but he bounced back to lead New York's third touchdown drive of the season -- capped off by a two-yard Michael Carter touchdown -- on the next possession. He set up a go-ahead field goal late in the third quarter with a 54-yard deep ball to Keelan Cole, then tossed touchdowns to Jamison Crowder (three yards) and Corey Davis (53 yards) in the fourth. Wilson carried over the momentum from his best half as a pro into overtime, guiding the Jets down to the 1-yard line before they ultimately settled for a field goal, which held up as the game-winner after Tennessee missed a field goal on the ensuing drive. With the first win of his NFL career under his belt, things are pointing up for the rookie quarterback heading into a favorable Week 5 matchup against the Falcons in London.

  • Josh Allen QB | BUF

    Bills' Josh Allen: Efficient day against Texans

    Allen completed 20 of 29 pass attempts for 248 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's Week 4 win over the Texans. He added six rushes for 41 yards.

    Allen threw an interception on his first pass of the the game, but he spent the rest of the contest picking apart the Texans' secondary. Five of his 20 completions went for 20 or more yards, and he completed those passes to four different receivers. The only thing holding Allen back from a bigger performance was the fact that the game was such a blowout, as Mitchell Trubisky entered the contest midway through the fourth quarter. After a slow start to the season, Allen has racked up nine total touchdowns vs. two interceptions across his last three games.

  • Broncos' Teddy Bridgewater: Concussion confirmed

    Bridgewater officially suffered a concussion during Sunday's game versus the Ravens, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

    Prior to leaving the game, Bridgewater completed seven of 16 passes for one touchdown and had one two-yard rush in one half of work. He'll now be subject to the league's protocol for head injuries before he's cleared for game action. In the meantime, Drew Lock will direct the Broncos offense.

  • Broncos' Teddy Bridgewater: Won't return to Sunday's game

    Bridgewater (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game against the Ravens, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Drew Lock is now in line to finish out the game at QB for the Broncos, while Bridgewater will aim to gain medical clearance in advance of next Sunday's tilt against the Steelers. Prior to his exit, Bridgewater had completed 7-of-16 passes for 65 yards and a TD and ran once for two yards.

  • Broncos' Teddy Bridgewater: Possible concussion

    Bridgewater is being evaluated for a possible concussion during Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

    As a result, Drew Lock has taken over Denver's QB duties to start the second half of the contest. Look for the team to issue an official update on Bridgewater shortly, but for now consider his return questionable.
