Carr completed 26-of-39 passes for 249 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's loss to Denver.

Carr couldn't seem to get much going on Sunday against the Broncos' stingy defense, as he threw just his third interception of the season. The second-year quarterback is completing 63.6 percent of his passes, and currently sits on eight touchdowns in five games. Carr is still considered a low-end QB1 and he should have a solid matchup against the Chargers in Week 6.

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson completed 15 of 23 passes for 213 yards with one touchdown and one interception Sunday against the Bengals. He also rushed three times for 21 yards.

The Seahawks' offensive line continues to struggle giving Wilson enough time to throw, and he was sacked four times for a loss of 16 yards in addition to the relatively modest rushing total. He connected with six different receivers, though none caught more than three passes. Wilson has now finished with a single passing touchdown in four of five games this season, and he has yet to score one on the ground despite rushing for 198 yards. Up next in Week 6 is the Panthers at home.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 19 of 30 passes for 241 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's win over the Rams. He added 39 yards on the ground, but lost a fumble.

The talk in Green Bay is how Rodgers had his first interception at home since 2012. Perhaps more amazingly, Sunday was his first three-turnover game since Week 9 of the 2009 season. All Sunday's, by his standards, rough outing against a very good Rams defense proves is that Rodgers is human. He still ranks first in the league in touchdown passes and second in passer rating.

Lions quarterback Dan Orlovsky completed 21 of 38 passes for 191 yards, with one touchdown and an interception, in Sunday's 42-17 loss to Arizona.

Orlovsky entered the game midway through the third quarter for an ineffective Matthew Stafford, who tossed three interceptions. The backup QB was able to move the ball a bit in the second half, but he did not lead the Lions to a touchdown until the 1:36 mark of the fourth quarter, when he hit Lance Moore on a 13-yard score. Stafford is Detroit's franchise QB, for better or worse, so don't expect Orlovsky to start anytime soon.

Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota completed 21 of 32 passes for 187 yards with an interception, and added 47 rushing yards on five carries in Sunday's 14-13 loss to the Bills.

Mariota was kept off balance throughout the contest by Rex Ryan's Bills defense, as the veteran head coach got the best of the rookie quarterback on this occasion. It's disappointing to see Mariota struggle this much coming out of a bye, but he should be able to find greener pastures in a Week 6 matchup with a struggling Dolphins team. The one positive aspect of his performance from a fantasy perspective was Mariota's willingness to make plays with his legs; the rookie is an underrated runner who can consistently pick up a few cheap points by scrambling if he continues to show a willingness to do so.

Lions quarterback Matt Stafford completed 20 of 32 passes for 188 yards, with one touchdown and three interceptions in Sunday's blowout loss to Arizona. He was benched midway through the third quarter in favor of backup QB Dan Orlovsky.

Stafford's first interception came on an extremely athletic play by DE Cory Redding, but his other two picks were bad reads. It's been a funky season in general for Stafford, who has yet to post a 300-yard passing game, and has just a 6:8 TD:INT ratio. He seems to be taking fewer shots down the field, as Calvin Johnson and Golden Tate have combined for just six receptions of 20+ yards, and while he's been sacked just seven times, the offensive line has underachieved. It might not get better for Stafford next week against Chicago, which has held Stafford to just a 14:12 TD:INT ratio and 80.6 QB Rating in nine career games.

Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton completed 30-of-44 passes for 331 yards with two touchdowns and one interception Sunday against the Seahawks, and he also rushed seven times for 18 yards and another score.

Dalton's excellent run continues, as he's now thrown for multiple touchdowns in four of five games this season, while passing for at least 320 yards in three straight games. He connected with six different receivers Sunday, throwing both of his touchdowns to tight end Tyler Eifert, who has really gotten to another level this season. Up next is a tough Week 6 matchup at Buffalo before a Week 7 bye.

Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 21 of 32 passes for 219 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Falcons, but he was picked off twice, including a game-ending interception returned for a touchdown in overtime.

Cousins connected with six different receivers, throwing his touchdown to tight end Derek Carrier, and while he was able to lead the team to a game-tying field goal as time expired in the fourth quarter, his interception in overtime was extremely costly. Receiver Ryan Grant slipped on the play, though Cousins' pass didn't appear to be heading for a completion anyway. Cousins has been up-and-down this season, though he hasn't passed for multiple touchdowns in a game yet, and he'll have a tough time breaking that streak in Week 6 against the Jets, who are off in Week 5.

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston completed 13 of 19 passes for 209 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-31 victory over the Jaguars.

Winston's biggest contribution to the victory may well have been the fact that he managed a turnover-free performance. The rookie quarterback distributed the ball prudently, and once again kept his running backs effectively involved in the passing game, with his sole touchdown pass on the day going to Doug Martin.

Winston also commemorated his first home game without throwing a pick-six and helped bring the Bucs' infamous 11-game home losing streak to an end. With the Bucs on bye next week, Winston will square off against the Redskins on the road in Week 7.

Bills running back Chris Hogan caught all three of his targets for a team-high 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Titans, and also completed a pass for four yards.

Hogan has caught all eight of his targets for 95 yards and a score while filling in for an injured Sammy Watkins (calf) over the past two weeks. The third-year receiver out of Monmouth has demonstrated a nice rapport with quarterback Tyrod Taylor, but he will most likely fade back into obscurity upon Watkins' return. Even with Watkins out, Hogan hasn't seen enough volume to be a true difference-maker in a relatively conservative Bills offense.
