Carr completed 21 of 30 passes for 300 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Sunday's 27-24 victory over the Dolphins.

Despite multiple drops from his receiving corps, Carr played a solid game by repeatedly converting third-and-long scenarios when his team seemed stalled. While his final stat line was arguably saved by a 44-yard touchdown heave to Johnny Holton late in the first half, Carr nonetheless has reached the 300-yard passing threshold in each of his past three games after missing that mark in each of his first five. Fantasy owners would certainly like to see more scoring strikes from the fourth-year quarterback, though. Fortunately, Carr will have a chance to qualm that concern after the Raiders' Week 10 bye when Oakland meets a New England defense that's allowed the second-most passing touchdowns in the league entering Week 9.

Wilson completed 24 of 45 passes for 297 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Redskins. He also added 77 yards on 10 rushing attempts.

Seattle struggled on offense for the first three quarters, managing just three missed field-goal tries. Suddenly, things clicked to begin the fourth, as Wilson led a 66-yard drive in under three minutes that ended with Luke Willson's touchdown catch. The 28-year-old later engineered a go-ahead drive culminating in a 30-yard strike to Doug Baldwin, but it didn't turn out to be enough. The Seahawks will travel to Arizona to take on the Cardinals in Week 10.

Cousins completed 21 of 31 pass attempts for 247 yards and no touchdowns in Sunday's 17-14 win over Seattle. He also added four yards on three rushes and lost a fumble.

It was the first game this season that Cousins didn't throw for a touchdown, and 69 of the yards came on two plays during the game-winning drive. Facing an elite defense on the road with a depleted receiving corps and offensive line, a disappointing game was perhaps to be expected. He was also sacked six times, including once for a safety. The 29-year-old returns home to face another stiff test from Minnesota in Week 10.

Prescott completed 21 of 33 pass attempts for 249 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Chiefs. He also carried three times for 27 yards and a touchdown in the 28-17 win.

Prescott completed 64 percent of his passes and connected with Cole Beasley for short touchdowns in the first and fourth quarters. He also made an impact as a rusher, recording his second-highest yardage total on the ground while scoring on a 10-yard scamper to cap off a long drive just before the half. Prescott has eclipsed 252 passing yards just once this season, but his ability to take care of the ball -- just four turnovers though eight games -- and his contributions as a rusher have kept him among the most productive fantasy quarterbacks. Ezekiel Elliott will face another legal battle this week while Dez Bryant and Terrance Williams battle ankle injuries, meaning the signal caller could face a substantial burden next Sunday against the Falcons.

Beathard completed 24 of 51 passes for 294 yards and one interception during Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Cardinals. He added 16 rushing yards and a touchdown on three carries.

Beathard didn't have many quality weapons available at his disposal in the absence of Pierre Garcon (neck). His offensive line didn't do him any favors, either, considering the rookie signal caller was sacked five times by game's end. With that said, Beathard fought his way through the end of the contest and finished the day with a career-high in passing yardage, thanks in part to running back Carlos Hyde, who mustered 84 receiving yards on a slew of dumpoffs. However, even if Beathard is able to hold on to the starting gig for another week, he won't be an appealing fantasy option despite a prime matchup against a Giants secondary that was just torched for 311 yards and four touchdowns by Jared Goff and the Rams.

Goff completed 14 of 22 pass attempts for 311 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 51-17 win over the Giants.

Goff averaged an outstanding 14.1 yards per attempt in this one thanks to a pair of long touchdown passes -- a 52-yard strike to Robert Woods that he followed with a 67-yard deep ball to Sammy Watkins just over two minutes later. He added short hookups with Tyler Higbee and Woods to complete his first four-touchdown performance. Goff's production had waned in a trio of touch matchups leading into the week, but he displayed the big-play ability that garnered attention through the season's opening weeks. He'll look to build on this career game next week against a struggling Texans defensive unit.

Mariota completed 19 of 28 passes for 218 yards with two touchdowns and an interception while rushing three times for six yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over Baltimore.

Mariota hit Rishard Matthews for a 16-yard score in the first quarter and added an 11-yard touchdown to Eric Decker in the fourth. Those two wideouts came into this one with just one touchdown between them, and rookie first-rounder Corey Davis finally returned from a hamstring injury suffered in Week 2, so things are looking up for Mariota's receiving corps. The third-year signal caller has thrown for more than 256 yards in a game only once this season, but he looks primed to pick things up down the stretch.

Savage completed 19 of 44 passes for 219 yards and a touchdown while losing one of two fumbles in Sunday's 20-14 loss to the Colts.

Savage threw a 34-yard touchdown to DeAndre Hopkins with 6:11 to play in the fourth quarter for the offense's first points after a defensive touchdown accounted for all of Houston's first-half scoring. He almost completed the comeback in the last minute, but he threw three consecutive incompletions before fumbling on the game's final play after getting to 1st-and-goal on the Colts' seven-yard line. The major drop-off from Deshaun Watson (knee) to Savage is apparent.

Brissett completed 20 of 30 passes for 308 yards and two touchdowns while adding two carries for 12 yards and losing a fumble in Sunday's 20-14 win over Houston.

Brissett connected with T.Y. Hilton for a 45-yard touchdown in the first quarter and would have taken at least a 10-0 lead into the locker room if not for a 34-yard sack-fumble touchdown by Houston with under a minute left before halftime. The 23-year-old quarterback added an 80-yard score to Hilton in the second half while topping 300 passing yards for just the second time in his career. He'll be a serviceable option for the rest of the season with Andrew Luck (shoulder) on injured reserve.

Winston said he aggravated the AC joint sprain in his right shoulder injury during Sunday's 30-10 loss at New Orleans, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com reports.

Winston ended the first half by landing hard on his right shoulder via a hit from Saints defensive end Alex Okafor. According to Winston, team doctors examined him at halftime and opted to rule him out for the rest of the game, leading to Ryan Fitzpatrick's third appearance of the season. Considering Winston has suffered a few setbacks with the shoulder since suffering the initial injury in Week 6, the Buccaneers may consider a respite to get Winston back to full health. Either way, his status will be one to watch in the coming days.
