Herbert completed 31 of 41 attempts for 338 yards and one touchdown to go along with two interceptions in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys. He also carried the ball four times for 12 yards.

The second-year signal caller again attempted 40-plus passes, but the Dallas defense did a good job limiting Herbert from connecting on any big plays. The star QB spread the ball around to his pass catchers, completing receptions to nine different targets. The two interceptions were unpredictably poor throws from the 23-year-old, as a forced pass to Keenan Allen on the opening drive coupled with an errant pass late in the third quarter at the goal line directly crushed two scoring opportunities. That wasn't the only thing holding back a gigantic fantasy day, however. A 36-yard touchdown pass on a well-designed play to tight end Donald Parham was called back due to holding, a possession that then ended with the aforementioned interception at the goal line. An egregiously poor call on the team's final possession also negated what would have been the go-ahead touchdown pass to Jared Cook, forcing the team to settle for a field goal. Herbert's passing volume on a week-to-week basis almost guarantees a safe fantasy floor, and it wouldn't be surprising if the Chargers are forced into offensive overdrive next week against the Chiefs.

Bridgewater completed 26 of his 34 passes for 328 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's Week 2 win over Jacksonville.

Bridgewater moved the ball well throughout the game and took advantage of a soft matchup. He primarily connected with Courtland Sutton, including for big gains of 55, 33 and 16 yards. However, Bridgewater also spread the ball effectively and found Noah Fant and Tim Patrick for touchdowns. As is typical, Bridgewater seemed fairly content to take what the defense allowed. That approach has worked through two weeks, as he's racked up 592 passing yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions.

Wilson racked up 343 yards and two touchdowns on 22-for-31 passing and recorded 16 more yards on three carries during Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Titans.

Wilson backed up his 254-yard, four-touchdown performance from the season opener by stuffing the stat sheet Week 2. However, more than half of his yardage through the air came on three plays -- he had two TDs of 60-plus yards and another 51-yard completion to Tyler Lockett -- and the Titans offense ground and pounded on the back of Derrick Henry in the second half, leading to just six points for the Seahawks between the third and fourth quarters. Wilson will aim to get back to winning ways next Sunday on the road against the 0-2 Vikings.

Murray was 29-for-36 passing for 400 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions during Sunday's 34-33 win against the Vikings. He added five carries for 31 yards and another score on the ground.

Murray is putting everything together in his third NFL campaign, accounting for nine total TDs through two games (seven passing, two on the ground). The Cardinals seem to have settled on a tight rotation in the skill positions, with six players accounting for Murray's attention through the air (each one had at least four targets). His scoring strikes went for 15 (DeAndre Hopkins), 77 (Rondale Moore) and nine yards (A.J. Green), while Murray's rushing TD came from 12 yards out. Murray's Week 2 performance wasn't perfect by any means, as he tossed a pick-six on the second offensive play of the second half, but he more than made up for it elsewhere, and he'll look to keep up the momentum with a Week 3 road matchup against a weak Jaguars defense.

Garoppolo completed 22 of 30 pass attempts for 189 yards and a touchdown, adding 20 yards and another touchdown on 11 carries in Sunday's 17-11 win over the Eagles.

Garoppolo didn't have as many big throws as he did in last week's win over the Lions, completing just one pass over 11 yards (a 40-yard strike to Deebo Samuel) against a tougher Eagles defense. The 29-year-old did bolster his stat line with a rushing touchdown when he took a quarterback sneak into the end zone for the eventual winning score. Rookie backup Trey Lance did not vulture a touchdown this week, and surprisingly, he did not even record a pass attempt or rush in a close victory. Garoppolo should be considered a mid-tier option heading into a matchup against the Packers on Sunday Night Football.

Jones completed 22 of 30 passes for 186 yards in Sunday's 25-6 win over the Jets.

Jones was accurate in the first half, completing 17 of 21 passes for 142 yards to guide his team to a 13-3 lead at the break. He wasn't asked to do much after halftime, as the running game and defense led the way to seal the Jones' first NFL win. Jones has proven to be a capable game manager in his first two contests, but the Patriots prefer to control the clock with runs and short passes as opposed to pushing the ball downfield. The rookie first-round pick has one touchdown and no interceptions heading into a Week 3 visit from the Saints.

Wilson completed 19 of 33 passes for 210 yards and four interceptions in Sunday's 25-6 loss to the Patriots. He also rushed three times for 19 yards.

Wilson got off to a painfully slow start for the second consecutive game, throwing interceptions on each of his first two passes and four of his first 10. He settled down after that but still failed to lead the Jets' offense into the end zone. With 20 points through two games, the start of the Wilson era isn't looking much different from the end of Sam Darnold's stint with Gang Green. Wilson will look to turn things around in a Week 3 road matchup with a Denver team that just limited fellow rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence to 118 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.

Darnold completed 26 of 38 passes for 305 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Saints.

He also picked up seven rushing yards on his lone carry. Darnold's second game in a Panthers uniform went even better than his first, as he picked apart a New Orleans defense that just shut down Aaron Rodgers in its opener. Both Darnold's TDs came in the first two quarters, as he found Brandon Zylstra and DJ Moore on red-zone strikes and then didn't need to air things out after halftime. The former Jets quarterback is in good shape to make it three wins, and three productive games, in a row when Carolina heads to Houston for a Thursday night tilt in Week 3.

Burrow completed 19 of 30 passes for 207 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in Sunday's 20-17 loss in Chicago.

After posting 261 yards and two TDs without an interception during a Week 1 victory against the Vikings, Burrow fell back to earth a bit, posting the first turnovers of his second campaign. His first one was particularly backbreaking, as a pass intended for Tyler Boyd near midfield was picked off and returned to the house to put the Bears up, 17-3, with just under 11 minutes remaining in the game. However, Burrow made up for the foibles with two garbage-time scores to Ja'Marr Chase (42 yards) and Tee Higgins (seven yards) in the last five minutes of action. Burrow will attempt to bounce back next Sunday in a road matchup with the Steelers.

Mills came into Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Browns for Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) and completed eight of 18 passes for 102 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He also netted minus-1 yard on two carries and committed a fumble that was recovered by Houston.

Mills unsurprisingly had his share of struggles upon unexpectedly having to enter the contest, but he was able to redeem himself to an extent with a two-yard touchdown toss to Brandin Cooks in the fourth quarter. The rookie third-round pick could be called on to start Thursday night's Week 3 matchup against the Panthers given the quick turnaround and the notoriously tricky nature of the the type of soft-tissue injury that prompted Taylor's early exit Sunday.
