Herbert completed 27 of 39 passes for 349 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed twice for eight yards in the Chargers' 17-15 loss to the Cardinals on Monday night.

Herbert turned in a final line reminiscent of previous seasons, even though he was operating without No. 2 receiver Quentin Johnston (ankle). The fifth-year pro connected with an impressive nine different targets on the night on his way to a season high in passing yardage. Herbert did go without a touchdown pass for the first time this season, but he put his team in position for a win by leading a marathon 15-play, 77-yard march that took up over eight minutes in the fourth quarter and culminated in a go-ahead field goal. While the Bolts defense ultimately couldn't hold up its end of the bargain, Herbert appears to be trending in the right direction fantasy-wise heading into a Week 8 home matchup against the Saints.

Murray completed 14 of 26 pass attempts for 145 yards, one touchdown and one interception while taking six carries for 54 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 17-15 win over the Chargers.

Murray was involved in both of Arizona's touchdowns Monday, the third time he has provided fantasy managers with multiple scores this season. The dual-threat quarterback finished off the Chargers by driving his team's offense into field-goal range for kicker Chad Ryland to knock in a chip shot for the win. Murray has been a steady asset through seven games in 2024, making him a safe option for Sunday's tilt against the Dolphins.

Jackson completed 17 of 22 passes for 281 yards and five touchdowns in Monday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers. He added nine rushing attempts for 52 yards and lost a fumble.

The Ravens trailed 10-0 after the first quarter, but Jackson took over after that with touchdown passes of nine yards to Mark Andrews and 18 yards to Justice Hill in the second quarter, 49 yards to Rashod Bateman and four yards to Andrews in the third and a 13-yarder to Derrick Henry for good measure to put the Ravens up 41-18 in the fourth. The score to Hill came one play after Jackson had an eight-yard rushing touchdown negated by a questionable holding penalty. This stellar performance gives Jackson a 15:2 TD:INT through the air, as well as 40-plus rushing yards in all seven games. The two-time NFL MVP will look to bolster his case for a third such award when the Ravens travel to Cleveland in Week 8.

Mayfield completed 31 of 45 passes for 370 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions and added five rushes for 22 yards in the Buccaneers' 41-31 loss to the Ravens on Monday night. He also threw a two-point conversion pass.

Fantasy managers certainly won't take exception with Mayfield's final numbers, but they were in large part a byproduct of a game script that saw the Buccaneers trailing by 24 entering the fourth quarter thanks to 34 unanswered points by Baltimore. He also lost Mike Evans to a hamstring injury in the first half shortly after connecting with him on a 25-yard scoring strike, making the quarterback's final yardage tally, his highest of the season, all the more noteworthy. Mayfield has now eclipsed 300 yards on three occasions overall in the first seven games, and by adding scoring tosses of 11 and 23 yards to Rachaad White in the fourth quarter, the veteran signal-caller now has at least three touchdown passes in three consecutive contests. However, Mayfield could be hard-pressed to keep his strong stretch of production going in a key Week 8 divisional clash against the Falcons; in addition to a potential Evans absence, Chris Godwin was carted off in the final minute of Monday's game with what Scott Smith of the team's official site relays could be a dislocated ankle that head coach Todd Bowles expressed concern about in his postgame press conference.

Siemian reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday.

Siemian was active for Sunday's loss to the Bills but ended up not playing. The 32-year-old served as Mason Rudolph's backup as Will Levis was sidelined due to a shoulder injury.

Stick (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's contest against the Cardinals.

Stick will operate as the team's emergency quarterback in Week 7 versus Arizona. The 29-year-old will only enter the game if Justin Herbert and Taylor Heinicke are forced to exit.

Ridder was signed by the Raiders off of Arizona's practice squad Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Ridder has yet to appear in a game this season while spending the entirety of the year to this point with the Cardinals' practice unit. The quarterback now will be on the Raiders' active roster for at least three games, presumably serving as the top backup option behind Gardner Minshew while Aidan O'Connell (thumb) is unavailable. Ridder appeared in 15 games with the Falcons in 2023, producing 2,836 passing yards, 12 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while also adding 193 yards and five scores on the ground.

Pickett saw the field for the first time in an Eagles uniform Sunday against the Giants, throwing a single incomplete pass in the fourth quarter of a 28-3 victory.

Pickett replaced Jalen Hurts with 10:32 left in the fourth quarter and was tasked with running out the clock with his team up by four scores. He spent nearly all his time handing off, with one incompletion and one sack on his two dropbacks.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Monday that Daniels (ribs) is considered week-to-week, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

The Commanders are "hopeful" Daniels will be able to play Sunday against the Bears in a matchup that would pit Nos. 1 and 2 overall picks Caleb Williams and Daniels head to head. Quinn confirmed Daniels injured his ribs in Sunday's win over the Panthers on the team's first offensive play, a 46-yard run by the rookie quarterback. Daniels ended up playing 10 offensive snaps before leaving the contest, giving way to Marcus Mariota the rest of the way in the 40-7 blowout victory. Daniels seems to have avoided a serious injury, but there's a possibility he sits out Week 8.

Young completed both of his pass attempts for minus-4 yards in Sunday's 40-7 loss to the Commanders.

The second-year signal-caller replaced Andy Dalton as the Panthers were down by 33 points on the team's final offensive drive and proceeded to complete a two-yard pass followed by a completion for minus-6 yards, leading to yet another three-and-out. When head coach Dave Canales was asked about Young potentially starting Week 8 against the Broncos, he told reporters that the Panthers are still committed to Dalton this week, explaining that the offense has been more fluid and even explosive at times under Dalton, per David Newton of ESPN.com. Young is expected to get another opportunity to start in Carolina at some point this season, especially with the team's 1-6 record to begin the year.
