Wilson completed 28 of his 39 pass attempts for 245 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions while gaining 14 yards on two carries in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Kansas City.

Wilson struggled to complete half of his passing attempts through three appearances this season (52 percent entering Sunday), so expectations against the reigning Super Bowl champions were understandably low. The 2021 second overall pick responded with one of the cleaner passing performances we've seen him deliver to date. It would take more than one solid outing from the BYU product to undo the past two seasons of mediocrity, but it was an encouraging effort on the national stage against a legitimate contender. If Wilson can string together a couple more positive games, then we could start seeing him discussed as a potential option in fantasy circles. His next opportunity to do so comes against Denver next Sunday.

Dobbs completed 28 of 41 pass attempts for 265 yards, a pair of touchdown passes and no turnovers to go along with 48 rushing yards on 12 attempts in Sunday's 35-16 loss to San Francisco.

Dobbs turned in his best fantasy start through four games this season despite losing by several scores to San Francisco. It was the 28-year-old journeyman's first game of his career with multiple passing touchdowns, as he continues to start in place of the injured Kyler Murray (knee). Dobbs' ability to take off from the pocket and provide rushing stats in addition to his middling passing results puts him on the fringe of fantasy utility through four weeks. Dobbs will now return to Arizona to take on a struggling Bengals squad next Sunday.

Mahomes (ankle) completed 18 of 30 pass attempts for 203 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions while adding 51 yards on seven carries in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Jets.

Mahomes looked like he was on his way to another comfortable win after helping his team build a 17-0 lead after one quarter. The Jets' stingy defense woke up after that by forcing a safety before intercepting two of Mahomes' pass attempts over the Chiefs' following three drives. The only points Kansas City's offense could muster in the second half came via a Harrison Butker field goal late in the fourth quarter that sealed the narrow win. On a positive note, Mahomes' mobility was not limited after he has his ankle rolled up on by a defensive lineman last week, showing his usual burst Sunday. Look for Mahomes to revert to his elite form Week 5 against a Minnesota defense giving up 287.3 passing yards per game to opposing offenses this season.

O'Connell completed 24 of 39 passes for 238 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Chargers. He added three rushes for three yards and a touchdown.

O'Connell drew his first NFL start with Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) sidelined. As could be expected, he had an uneven performance. Positively, he completed a pair of passes of more than 20 yards, and he also found the end zone for the first time in his career on a quarterback sneak late in the first quarter. However, he also made a lot of mistakes, as he took seven sacks, lost a fumble and also threw an interception from the Chargers' three-yard line on what could have been a game-tying drive late in the final quarter. Garoppolo is likely to be back for a Week 5 matchup against the Packers, though O'Connell could at least be upgraded to the role of primary backup over Brian Hoyer.

Hill completed his only pass attempt for 13 yards during Sunday's 26-9 loss to Tampa Bay. He also netted 10 rushing yards on four carries and caught one pass for seven yards.

Hill was prominently featured during the first quarter, as he logged a passing attempt, reception and rushing attempt on the Saints' first offensive series. His role then faded until he lined up in the shotgun for three plays on a single drive during the third quarter, though he netted just four rushing yards due to a three-yard sack taken on first down. Overall, Hill's usage did not see a significant uptick despite Derek Carr playing through an AC joint sprain that he suffered during the Week 3 loss to Green Bay. Hill's workload could stand to increase if Carr does not suit up for any games the rest of the way.

Tannehill completed 18 of 25 passes for 240 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Bengals.

Derrick Henry was the key to the offense in Sunday's win, but Tannehill delivered on some key plays, including a 13-yard touchdown pass to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine as well as four completions of more than 20 yards -- the latter of which was a season high. While it was a relatively positive performance, Tannehill still has only three total touchdowns across four games while turning the ball over four times. If nothing else, he should remain under center so long as the Titans remain competitive.

Purdy completed 20 of 21 pass attempts for 283 yards and a touchdown while scoring a second time on two rushing attempts that netted zero yards in Sunday's 35-16 win over Arizona.

Purdy didn't make the mistake of underestimating the Cardinals in a favored matchup the way the Cowboys had in a Week 3 upset loss. The 23-year-old didn't appear capable of making any mistakes Sunday after completing 95 percent of his attempts in a convincing division win. He even chipped in a late rushing touchdown -- his second of the season -- on a successful sneak attempt to put the Cardinals to away for good. Purdy will look to help the 49ers tie the all-time franchise record for consecutive wins in the regular season (15) when the team hosts Dallas for a primetime matchup next Sunday.

Zappe completed four of nine passes for 57 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Cowboys.

Zappe entered the game late in the third quarter to replace Mac Jones with the Patriots down 31-3. He was unremarkable in relief, and it was confirmed after the game that he'll return to backup duties for a Week 5 matchup against the Saints, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

Jones completed 12 of 21 passes for 150 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Cowboys. He also rushed three times for seven yards and lost a fumble.

Jones had a disastrous start to the game, losing a fumble that was returned for a touchdown while also throwing a pick-six just before halftime. With New England down 31-3 late in the third quarter, Bailey Zappe was called upon to relieve Jones. However, after the game, coach Bill Belichick confirmed that Jones will remain the starter for a Week 5 matchup against the Saints, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

Prescott completed 28 of 34 passes for 261 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 38-3 win over the Patriots.

Coming off of a disappointing Week 3 performance, Prescott bounced back to carve up the New England defense with an efficient effort. His overall numbers were ultimately limited due to the blowout nature of the game and because Dallas managed two defensive touchdowns. Though it was a positive outcome for his team, Prescott now has only one multi-touchdown performance through four contests this season, and he'll face a tough 49ers defense in Week 5.
