  • Ryan Tannehill QB | TEN

    Titans' Ryan Tannehill: Limits mistakes in win

    Tannehill completed 20 of his 24 pass attempts for 246 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Chargers. He added one rush for 12 yards and an additional touchdown.

    After turning the ball over three times in a Week 1 loss, Tannehill responded by taking care of the ball in Sunday's win. He was also very efficient with his opportunity by averaging just over 10 yards per pass attempt, highlighted by a pair of deep balls to Treylon Burks and Chris Moore that went for 70 and 49 yards, respectively. Tannehill also took matters into his own hands early in the third quarter when the Titans called an option play that the quarterback kept for a 12-yard scamper into the end zone. Overall, it was a big bounce-back for Tannehill, who will lead the team into a Week 3 matchup against the Browns.

  • Raiders' Jimmy Garoppolo: Held in check by Buffalo

    Garoppolo completed 16 of 24 passes for 185 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Bills.

    Garoppolo orchestrated a touchdown drive on the Raiders' opening possession, completing all three of his passes for 45 yards, highlighted by a 16-yard connection with Davante Adams for the score. However, he was intercepted one drive later, and his day continued to spiral from there as he was unable to consistently connect with any skill-position players besides Adams and Josh Jacobs. Through two games in Las Vegas, Garoppolo has shown the ability to run the offense efficiently at times, but he's also turned the ball over three times.

  • Rams' Matthew Stafford: Costly interceptions Sunday

    Stafford completed 34 of 55 pass attempts for 307 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the 49ers.

    Stafford appeared to be on his way to another strong performance and potential upset against a favored opponent, but two untimely interceptions in the second half derailed any hopes for a win Sunday. On a positive note, the veteran signal-caller eclipsed 300 passing yards for the second week in a row, which is a testament to his improved arm health following last year's elbow issues. Stafford has overcome fantasy expectations early on despite missing his best weapon in Cooper Kupp (hamstring) for a minimum of four games to start the season. He will look to clean up the turnovers in a road matchup against the Bengals next Monday.

  • Brock Purdy QB | SF

    49ers' Brock Purdy: Scores rushing TD on Sunday

    Purdy completed 17 of 25 pass attempts for 206 yards and rushed three times for five yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Rams.

    Purdy finished without a passing touchdown in a regular-season start for the first time in his young career. The 24-year-old salvaged what would have been a mediocre fantasy line with a short rushing score on a quarterback sneak as time expired in the first half. Purdy missed on a couple of deep shots but otherwise played a clean game and got the ball into the hands of his playmakers quickly. Purdy will look to get back into the touchdown column in the 49ers' home opener against the Giants on Thursday Night Football.

  • Dak Prescott QB | DAL

    Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Efficient in big win over Jets

    Prescott completed 31 of 38 passes for 255 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets. He added 14 rushing yards on six carries.

    It was another impressive all-around performance from the Cowboys, and Prescott got in on the action by completing his first 13 pass attempts and connecting with tight ends Jake Ferguson and Luke Schoonmaker on two short TD passes in the first half. Prescott's fantasy value through two weeks has largely been dependent on just how dominant the Dallas defense has been, and he may not need to do too much again in a Week 3 road matchup against the 0-2 Cardinals.

  • Russell Wilson QB | NYG

    Broncos' Russell Wilson: Posts vintage line in loss

    Wilson completed 18 of 32 pass attempts for 308 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 35-33 loss to Washington. He added 56 rushing yards on six attempts.

    Wilson turned back the clock and posted a stat line we haven't seen since his days in Seattle. It was the first time the 34-year-old threw for 300 yards with multiple scores since joining Denver last season. Wilson came out with a more aggressive mindset as a passer and runner following an underwhelming debut under head coach Sean Payton in Week 1. He connected for two deep scores to Marvin Mims Jr. and Brandon Johnson, and his 56 rushing yards would have been the second-highest total from his entire 2022 game log. Wilson can regain a chunk of his depleted fantasy value if he can maintain this playing style going forward, starting with a road matchup against the Dolphins next Sunday.

  • Zach Wilson QB | NO

    Jets' Zach Wilson: Tough day in Dallas

    Wilson completed 12 of 27 passes for 170 yards and one touchdown with three interceptions in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cowboys. He added 36 rushing yards on five carries.

    The third-year QB actually led the Jets in rushing, as the Dallas defense put together another dominant performance. Wilson's numbers in the first half were fairly solid, highlighted by a 68-yard TD pass to Garrett Wilson (undisclosed) in the second quarter, but all three of his INTs came on New York's final three drives as he tried to make something happen to bring his team back from a 17-point deficit. Wilson faces another potentially tough matchup in Week 3 against the Patriots.

  • Joshua Dobbs QB | NE

    Cardinals' Joshua Dobbs: Strong showing in loss to Giants

    Dobbs completed 21 of 31 passes for 228 yards and a touchdown while adding 41 rushing yards and a TD on three carries in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Giants. He also ran in a two-point conversion.

    The journeyman quarterback led the Cardinals to a 20-0 halftime lead, highlighted by Dobbs' 23-yard TD run early in the second quarter, but Arizona's offense went cold after intermission and let New York come storming back. Dobbs has done more than enough so far to keep rookie Clayton Tune on the bench, but the Cardinals face an extremely tough matchup in Week 3 when the Cowboys come to town.

  • Justin Herbert QB | LAC

    Chargers' Justin Herbert: Tops 300 yards

    Herbert completed 27 of 41 passes for 305 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Titans.

    The Chargers were willing to put the offense in Herbert's hands, and he responded with an excellent performance. He completed four passes of 20 or more yards while also tossing touchdowns from eight and 12 yards away, both of which went to Keenan Allen. Herbert's volume was also reassuring, as he was limited to only 33 attempts in Week 1 as the team ran its offense through the ground game. Overall, he has 534 passing yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions across two games this season.

  • Daniel Jones QB | IND

    Giants' Daniel Jones: Produces three TDs in comeback win

    Jones completed 26 of 37 passes for 321 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Cardinals. He added 59 rushing yards and another TD on nine carries.

    With the Giants down 20-0 at halftime, Jones led a remarkable second-half comeback that he sparked with a 14-yard TD scamper early in the third quarter. It was a much-needed rebound after New York's no-show against Dallas in its opener, but falling behind early to an Arizona team generally regarded as one of the worst in the NFL coming into 2023 is still a worrying sign. Things don't get any easier for Jones and the Giants in Week 3, as they'll head to San Francisco for a Thursday night tilt against the undefeated 49ers.
