Hoyer completed 30 of 49 passes for 317 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Cowboys.

With Jay Cutler (thumb) sidelined, the Bears went three-and-out on their first two drives, allowing Ezekiel Elliott and Co. to build a 24-3 lead by the half. Hoyer wasn't actually to blame, as the Bears were held back by penalties and an inconsistent rushing game, in addition to Dallas' dominance of possession. In fact, Chicago only ran 18 plays in the first half, including six on a drive that started at the team's own 25-yard line with 38 seconds remaining before the break. Hoyer finally took advantage of the favorable matchup after halftime, mostly honing in on Zach Miller and Kevin White, with the former accounting for both touchdowns. Things briefly got somewhat interesting midway through the fourth quarter, but Hoyer put the nail in his team's coffin with a sloppy fumble that could've easily been avoided. He'll draw another favorable matchup in Week 4 against Detroit, unless Cutler is ready to return.

Prescott completed 19 of 24 passes for 248 yards and a touchdown, adding four carries for 36 yards and another score in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Bears.

Prescott was once again efficient while taking a backseat to the Dallas running game, though this time around he was actually a part of the rushing attack, most notably on a one-yard plunge at the goal line. He later recorded the first passing touchdown of his career, and he was able to pick up key first downs whenever the Cowboys seemed like they might be letting the lead slip. While won't be turned loose unless the team has to play from behind, Prescott is shockingly poised and accurate for a rookie, giving him serious upside when such a scenario arises. Dating back to the preseason, he's yet to commit a turnover in the NFL. Next week brings a favorable matchup in San Francisco, though game flow could work in Ezekiel Elliott's favor more so than Prescott's.

Winston completed 36 of 58 passes for 405 yards with three touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 37-32 loss to the Rams. He also gained 13 yards on four rushes and lost a fumble on a strip sack that was returned for a touchdown.

The 2015 first overall pick set career highs in completions, attempts and yards in the marathon contest, but ultimately came up short when it counted most. Following an extended weather delay due to lightning in the area, Winston helped lead the Bucs down the field from their own 44 to the Rams' 15 in the closing minutes before firing four consecutive incompletions and then inexplicably taking a sack on the final play instead of throwing into the end zone. Winston's two turnovers were also costly, with his interception setting up one of Todd Gurley's two touchdown runs and his fumble getting returned 77 yards by Ethan Westbrooks for a touchdown. On the positive side, he encouragingly made use of his full array of weapons, completing passes to eight different receivers. The former Seminole will try to bounce back against what should be one of his toughest challenges of the season when he and the Bucs take on the Broncos in Week 4.

Cousins completed 21 of 35 passes for 296 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 29-27 victory over the Giants on Sunday.

The Giants took a 21-9 lead in the second quarter, but Cousins hit for long touchdowns to DeSean Jackson and Jamison Crowder in the second and third quarters, respectively, to start a comeback that resulted in a victory. He was more decisive Sunday, but he did not have a particularly high completion percentage once again. It was, however, an improved performance, and Cousins will have the opportunity to build off of it in Week 4 versus the Browns.

Keenum completed 14-of-26 passes for 190 yards in Sunday's 37-32 win at Tampa Bay.

After struggling to produce in each of the Rams' first two games of the season, Keenum finally threw a touchdown pass, including a back-breaking score to Tavon Austin late in the fourth quarter. While it was far from a perfect outing, Keenum also threw a pretty 44-yard touchdown to Brian Quick early in the first quarter, and had to deal with some drops throughout the game. With the No.1 overall pick Jared Goff waiting in the wings, Keenum must continue to make plays, or his time as the team's starter could be short. It doesn't get easier for Keenum in Week 4, as he'll travel to Arizona to play the Cardinals.

Wilson (sprained knee) said he could have returned to Sunday's game against the 49ers if the score had been closer, ESPN's Sheil Kapadia reports.

Wilson got his left leg pinned underneath 49ers linebacker Eli Harold on a sack in the third quarter, and while the injury initially appeared serious, he surprisingly only missed one snap and then finished out the drive. He was taken out for good at the end of the series, with Seattle holding a 27-3 lead and in no real danger of losing. Wilson is scheduled for an MRI on Monday. He has yet to miss a game in his career, and he's already been playing through a sprained right ankle that the Seahawks initially expected to require a multi-game absence. If Wilson can't play in Week 4, Trevone Boykin will start at the Jets.

Wilson is believed to have suffered a sprained knee, but he'll still need additional testing to confirm the diagnosis, Liz Mathews of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Wilson was removed during the third quarter of Sunday's blowout win over the 49ers, giving way to undrafted rookie Trevone Boykin. While the outcome wasn't in question at the time, Wilson did appear to be in real pain, suggesting his removal wasn't just precautionary. He's also been dealing with an ankle issue since Week 1, but Sunday's knee injury seems to be a far greater concern.

Gabbert completed 14-of-25 pass attempts for 119 yards and an interception in Sunday's 37-18 loss at Seattle. He also had five carries for 22 yards.

It was a brutal matchup for Gabbert, and he predictably struggled, failing to throw a touchdown pass. The 49ers managed to score a couple of times in the fourth quarter, but both of those were by Carlos Hyde from eight yards out. Gabbert's overall fantasy production the previous two weeks were respectable, but the offense has looks limited in general, and he's got just a 5.5 YPA for the season. In Gabbert's defense, the 49ers lack a true No. 1 wideout, as Torrey Smith has plenty of speed, but isn't an elite pass catcher in the mold of Julio Jones or Odell Beckham. In any case, he'll face the Cowboys at home in Week 4.

Mariota threw for 214 yards and two interceptions while completing 17 of 33 passes Sunday against the Raiders. He also added 22 rushing yards on three carries, and lost one of two fumbles in a 17-10 loss.

The Mariota-led Titans offense is averaging a measly 14.0 points per game through three weeks, and this seemingly friendly matchup at home against a Raiders defense that came in allowing 34.5 points per game surprisingly didn't help. He did lead a second-half touchdown drive, but it was capped by DeMarco Murray's first rushing score of the season. Despite an offseason makeover, the dearth of weapons in Tennessee's passing game is still a major problem, especially with tight end Delanie Walker (hamstring) out.

Wilson injured his left leg during Sunday's game against the 49ers, NFL.com reports.

Wilson left the game in the third quarter following a horse-collar tackle in which his left knee was bent in an unnatural fashion under 49ers linebacker Eli Harold. Initially, Wilson missed just one play, but after the Seahawks kicked a 33-yard field goal to end the possession, he was removed in favor of backup Trevone Boykin. Trainers were seen fitting a brace on Wilson left knee, an injury that's two weeks removed from him sustaining a high right ankle sprain in the regular season opener. The Seahawks have yet to clarify if he'll attempt a return to the contest, according to Stephen Cohen of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
