  • Bryce Young QB | CAR

    Panthers' Bryce Young: Tosses three TDs in win

    Young completed 17 of 25 passes for 199 yards with three touchdowns and one interception and added three carries for five yards in the Panthers' 30-27 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

    Young's yardage total was far from scintillating, but the third-year signal-caller kept his team competitive throughout a back-and-forth affair against Dak Prescott and his high-powered offense. Young did his part with a trio of touchdown tosses, two which went to rookie wideout Tetairoa McMillan from 19 and two yards out, respectively. Young also connected with Rico Dowdle for a 36-yard strike early in the third quarter, tying Young's single-game high for TD passes this season. The 2023 first overall pick has now been under 200 passing yards in four consecutive contests, but he'll carry the momentum of a season-best 68.0 percent completion rate into a Week 7 road matchup against the Jets.

  • Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Strong showing in emergency start

    Brissett completed 27 of 44 passes for 320 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while adding three rushes for 19 yards in the Cardinals' 31-27 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

    Brissett was called on for the first of what could be multiple starts due to Kyler Murray's foot injury, and the veteran signal-caller delivered in signature fashion. Brissett started slowly but picked up steam despite losing Marvin Harrison to a concussion, leaning heavily on Zay Jones, Trey McBride and Michael Wilson throughout the afternoon. The veteran signal-caller hit McBride and Greg Dortch from one and 12 yards out, respectively for his pair of touchdowns, and he had Arizona in position to take the lead after marching his team 78 yards in 10 plays before a fourth-down incompletion on a play where there may have been some pass interference on McBride. Murray could remain out for a Week 7 home matchup against the Packers, a development that would tee up Brissett for another start

  • Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Tormented by pressure in loss

    Lawrence completed 27 of 42 passes for 258 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding three rushes for nine yards in the Jaguars' 20-12 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Lawrence's final passing line with more than adequate, but he also took seven sacks and finished with an ugly 46.6 QBR for the afternoon. The 2021 first overall pick did continue to cultivate his connection with No. 1 receiver Brian Thomas, who he hit on eight occasions for 90 yards, including a 21-yard touchdown late in the first quarter. Lawrence hit Tim Patrick from 26 yards out early in the fourth quarter for his other TD toss, the quarterback's first multi-touchdown-pass tally since Week 2. Despite the solid numbers, the modest point total did Jacksonville in Sunday, a matter he'll look to rectify in a London matchup against the high-powered Rams in Week 7.

  • Sam Darnold QB | SEA

    Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Remains productive in Week 6 win

    Darnold completed 16 of 27 passes for 295 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding four carries for two yards in the Seahawks' 20-12 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Darnold looked as impressive as usual outside the friendly confines of Lumen Field, averaging 10.9 yards per attempt as he remained aggressive downfield. The veteran signal-caller once again focused the majority of his attention on Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who ended up on the receiving end of half of Darnold's completions and 162 of his yards, not to mention one of his two touchdowns, a perfectly thrown 61-yard strike in the second quarter. Darnold added a nifty 11-yard scoring toss to Cooper Kupp in the fourth quarter, and he'll head into a Week 7 home clash with the Texans on Monday night, Oct. 20 having thrown for multiple touchdowns in four of the last five games.

  • Daniel Jones QB | IND

    Colts' Daniel Jones: Multiple TDs in close win

    Jones completed 22 of 30 passes for 212 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while adding five carries for 20 yards and another score in the Colts' 31-27 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Jones put together another efficient performance that's become par for the course for him in the Colts' scheme. Jones eclipsed the 70.0 percent completion threshold for the fourth time overall in the first six games, and the veteran signal-caller also tossed a pair of touchdown for the second consecutive contest by connecting with Tyler Warren and Josh Downs from eight and five yards out, respectively. Jones added a three-yard scoring rush just before the halfway point of the second quarter, his fourth touchdown on the ground already. Jones will remain a highly coveted option in all formats for a Week 7 road showdown against the Chargers that could develop into a high-scoring affair.

  • Dak Prescott QB | DAL

    Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Excellent in defeat

    Prescott completed 25 of 34 passes for 261 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Panthers. He also rushed twice for minus-1 yard and fumbled once but recovered.

    Prescott continued his excellent season, throwing for three or more touchdowns in his third straight game while also surpassing 250 passing yards for the fourth time in six contests on the campaign. He showed an ongoing strong connection with George Pickens, connecting with him for three gains of more than 30 yards, including scores from 45 and 34 yards away. Prescott's outlook could improve further in Week 7 due to the potential return of CeeDee Lamb (ankle), though Prescott has proven plenty capable of producing without one of his star pass catchers.

  • Justin Herbert QB | LAC

    Chargers' Justin Herbert: Sterling effort in win

    Herbert completed 29 of his 38 pass attempts for 264 yards and two touchdowns in the 29-27 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Despite being under duress for most of the game, Herbert was excellent moving around the pocket and extending time to create enough room to hit Ladd McConkey (7-100-1) on a number of crossing routes, while Oronde Gadsden had his biggest game of his young career as an underneath safety net. The emergence of Kimani Vidal as a legitimate piece of the rushing attack, albeit against a porous run defense, could do wonders to help Herbert steady the ship with multiple offensive lineman banged up with varying injuries.

  • Colts' Anthony Richardson: Sustains orbital eye fracture

    Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that Richardson suffered an orbital eye fracture while warming up prior to Sunday's 31-27 win over the Cardinals, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

    Richardson sustained the injury while working out with elastic bands prior to the contest and was made inactive for the Week 6 game, and he could be at risk of missing additional time, per Stephen Holder of ESPN.com. Rookie Riley Leonard backed up starter Daniel Jones in Sunday's win and could be headed for a multi-game run as the Colts' No. 2 quarterback.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Expected back after bye

    Coach John Harbaugh noted after Sunday's loss to the Rams that Jackson (hamstring) is expected to return to action in Week 8, following the Ravens' bye, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.

    Jackson has missed Baltimore's last two games, but Harbaugh indicated Sunday that his hope and expectation is that the star QB will be available for the team's Oct. 26 game against the Bears. The looming return of Jackson, among others, in Week 8 offers hope that a turnaround can be engineering by the Ravens, who head into their bye week with a 1-5 record. Either way, if Jackson is healthy, he belongs in fantasy lineups.

  • Mac Jones QB | SF

    49ers' Mac Jones: Active, starting again Sunday

    Jones (knee/oblique) is active for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

    During a week in which Jones practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday through Friday due to the oblique injury that he suffered Week 5 and a lingering PCL sprain, he didn't attempt many passes until Friday, at which point the 49ers deemed him questionable for Week 6 action. With No. 1 QB Brock Purdy (toe) out yet again, Jones will earn his fourth start of the season after completing 86 of 129 passes (66.7 percent) for 905 yards, six touchdowns and one interception in his first three opportunities to lead the 49ers offense. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported overnight Saturday that Purdy has "a chance" to return next Sunday night against the Falcons, so Jones' time as San Francisco's starting QB may come to a close after this Sunday's contest.
