Goff completed 24 of 38 pass attempts for 269 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 20-13 victory over the Browns.

Goff struggled to get things going against the Browns' tough front four, but he was able to find his rhythm in the second half with a pair of key touchdown drives. The 24-year-old had to improvise at times behind shoddy offensive line play, and that unit is going to have to improve drastically if we are going to see the elite passing numbers fantasy owners became accustomed to last season. Luckily for Goff's owners, the signal caller gets a favorable matchup this Sunday against a Buccaneers secondary that was just torched for 300-plus yards by rookie Daniel Jones.

Garoppolo completed 23 of 32 passes for 277 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Steelers.

The QB also lost a fumble, accounting for three of the Niners' five turnovers on the day, but Garoppolo was still able to kick the offense into gear after heading to halftime down 6-3. At some point, he's going to need to show better ball security -- he has a career 17:12 TD:INT through 12 games with San Francisco -- but with the team off to a 3-0 start, the warts in Garoppolo's game will get overlooked for now. The Niners will take next week off before returning from their bye to host the Browns in Week 5.

Rudolph completed 14 of 27 passes for 174 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the 49ers.

He also ran the ball four times for 15 yards. Rudolph appeared trapped in a caretaker role for most of the first half as coach Mike Tomlin tried to get by on the team's running game, but once the Steelers fell behind in the second half, the second-year QB started taking some shots downfield and was rewarded with long TD tosses to JuJu Smith-Schuster and Diontae Johnson. With the jitters of his first NFL start behind him, Rudolph will look to post better numbers in Week 4 against a Bengals defense that's had trouble slowing anyone down to date.

Bridgewater completed 19 of 27 pass attempts for 177 yards and two touchdowns in Week 3 against the Seahawks. He also rushed the ball three times for 12 yards.

Bridgewater was helped by his defense and special teams, as the units put the first two touchdowns on the board for the Saints. However, he went on to orchestrate consecutive touchdown drives -- one to end the first half and the other to begin the second -- that put the team up big. Bridgewater didn't work down the field extensively by averaging only 6.6 yards per attempt, but did enough to post a respectable line while also maintaining the value of both Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara. Perhaps most importantly, Bridgewater appears to be the clear starter and primary quarterback in the absence of Drew Brees (thumb) as Taysom Hill did not attempt a pass and rushed the ball just once for five yards. Bridgewater will look to keep things going in a primetime matchup Week 4 against the Cowboys.

Winston completed 23 of 37 pass attempts for 380 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's 32-31 loss to the Giants.

Winston completed 62 percent of his pass attempts and averaged a healthy 10.3 yards per attempt thanks to some big gains through the air. He completed three touchdown passes to Mike Evans in the first half but his lone interception was equally important, coming while his team was marching toward the red zone in the fourth quarter. All in all, it was a much-improved performance from Winston, who averaged just 201 passing yards with three turnovers over the first two games. He'll face a tougher challenge on the road against the Rams next Sunday.

Murray completed 30 of 43 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions, while gaining 69 rushing yards on eight carries, in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Panthers.

Some of the scrambles were by design, but Murray also spent a good portion of the game running for his life from the Carolina pass russ: He was sacked eight times, and the lack of time he had to let routes develop accounted for his miserable 4.0 YPA. Murray is showing the tools to be a top fantasy QB, but until the Arizona offensive line can give him better protection, his production is likely to remain erratic.

Watson completed 24 of his 34 pass attempts for 351 yards and three touchdowns in Week 3 against the Chargers. He also rushed the ball seven times for 18 yards.

Watson passed for three touchdowns for the second time in three contests this season. However he displayed improved efficiency, as he completed a season-best 73 percent of his passes and also averaged over 10 yards per attempt. Of note, he was sacked only twice after being taken down six and four times respectively in Weeks 1 and 2, which almost certainly contributed to his stellar performance. Already a top flight fantasy option, Watson will look to keep things in Week 4 against the Panthers.

Jones completed 23 of 36 pass attempts for 336 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Buccaneers. He also carried four times for 28 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the 32-31 win.

Making his first start, Jones completed 64 percent of his passes while averaging an impressive 9.3 yards per attempt. He threw touchdown passes to Evan Engram and Sterling Shepard in the third quarter while adding two rushing scores, including one from seven yards out to win the game in the final minutes. It was a terrific showing from the rookie, who will undoubtedly remain the starter next at home Sunday against Washington.

Allen completed 19 of 26 passes for 261 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Cardinals.

Stepping in for the injured Cam Newton (foot), Allen breathed new life into the Panthers' aerial attack, completing passes to seven different receivers and leading the team to almost as many points as it scored in the first two games of the season combined. There's no timetable for Newton's return yet, but Allen's performance should give Carolina the confidence to give him as much time as he needs to get back to 100 percent.

Wilson completed 32 of 50 passes for 406 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Saints. He also ran seven times for 51 yards and two scores.

It was a monster game for Wilson, who was on the run often but avoided a sack for the first time this season. Just as important, this game revealed that coach Pete Carroll was willing to abandon the run-heavy motto if the Seahawks trailed by enough, as Wilson's 50 pass attempts were the most of his career. It also helped that starting running back Chris Carson's fumble woes resurfaced. Nevertheless, Wilson took over this game and will have a good shot to do the same thing in Week 4 versus the Cardinals, who just allowed Kyle Allen to throw for 261 yards and four scores in his second career start.
