Fields completed 11 of 22 passes for 174 yards while rushing seven times for 52 yards and losing a fumble in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Giants.

Fields failed to lead a touchdown drive, as the Bears settled for four field goals. He set a season high in passing yards but still struggled mightily throwing the ball and hasn't thrown a touchdown in the past three games. Fields' rushing upside will make him a viable Week 5 fantasy option in Minnesota, but he's likely to continue struggling as a passer.

Hoyer is being evaluated for a head injury during Sunday's game against the Packers.

Prior to exiting the game, Hoyer -- who was filling in for Mac Jones (ankle) -- had completed five of six pass attempts for 37 yards. In his absence, Bailey Zappe is in at quarterback for the Patriots.

Smith completed 23 of 30 passes for 320 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and added 49 yards and another score on seven rushes in the Seahawks' 48-45 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Smith continued his shocking early-season trend of outplaying the man he replaced at quarterback, franchise legend Russell Wilson, with a second straight 300-yard effort. The 2013 second-round pick completed 76.7 percent of his throws for his fourth showing of over 70.0 percent in as many games to open the season, with his three total scores on the day coming via an eight-yard rush along with 17- and two-yard touchdown tosses to tight ends Will Dissly and Noah Fant, respectively. Smith now boasts a 6:2 TD:INT through four games for the surprising 2-2 Seahawks, who'll next face the Saints on the road in Week 5.

Trubisky completed seven of 13 pass attempts for 84 yards, no touchdowns and an interception while rushing once for one yard during the Steelers' 24-20 loss to the Jets on Sunday.

Trubisky had an inefficient first half during Sunday's matchup, and the Steelers trailed 10-6 at halftime. As a result, the team turned to rookie Kenny Pickett at quarterback to begin the second half. Pickett threw three interceptions, but he had 120 passing yards while tallying two rushing touchdowns as the Steelers nearly secured a comeback win. Trubisky has failed to propel the Steelers' offense much over the first four weeks of the season, so it certainly seems possible that he'll have to settle for a backup role moving forward.

Jackson completed 20 of 29 passes for 144 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions and rushed 11 times for 73 yards in the Ravens' 23-20 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Jackson and the Ravens got off to a torrid start with 20 first-half points, with one of the touchdowns coming on a one-yard shovel pass to J.K. Dobbins. Jackson also broke off several productive runs throughout the game, but Baltimore's failure to score a single second-half point is partly an indictment on the star quarterback, who threw both his interceptions in the fourth quarter. The second was the most critical, as it came in the end zone on fourth down at the end of a 14-play, 93-yard drive when coach John Harbaugh opted to bypass a gimme field-goal attempt that would have given his team the lead. Jackson will now aim to bounce back from his season-low passing yardage total when he faces the Bengals in a primetime divisional clash next Sunday night.

Mills completed 26 of 35 passes for 246 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Chargers.

Mills saw his team go down 21 points early on, but he helped it rally to close the gap in the second half. The signal-caller threw an eight-yard touchdown to Rex Burkhead in the third quarter, before finding wideout Brandin Cooks for an 18-yard score to begin the fourth. However, with a pair of interceptions on the day, including a badly overthrown pass on Houston's first drive, it was hardly a clean performance from Mills. In fact, he's now thrown a pair of picks in back-to-back games ahead of Week 5's matchup versus the Jaguars.

Pickett completed 10 of 13 pass attempts for 120 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions while rushing six times for 15 yards and two scores during Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Jets.

The Steelers' offense was inefficient during the first half of Sunday's matchup, so Pickett made his NFL debut by taking over for Mitch Trubisky following halftime. Although the rookie first-rounder threw three interceptions, he was relatively productive and reached the end zone two times with his legs. Pickett nearly led the Steelers to the comeback victory, and it certainly seems possible that the team will turn to the rookie as the starting quarterback following a 1-3 start to the season.

Allen completed 19 of 36 passes for 213 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Bills' 23-20 win over the Ravens on Sunday. He also rushed 11 times for 70 yards and another score and fumbled once but recovered.

Allen and the rest of the offense opened the game in forgettable fashion, scoring all of three points for nearly the entirety of the first half before the star quarterback found Isaiah McKenzie for a four-yard touchdown pass with nine seconds remaining in the second quarter. That began a comeback from a 20-3 deficit that saw Buffalo's defense lend a major hand by shutting out Baltimore over the final two quarters. Allen wasn't anywhere near as efficient as usual against a tough Ravens defense in inclement weather, but his 11-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter and a pair of double-digit-play drives that culminated in field goals were enough for the Bills to complete the rally. With a major road challenge now in the rearview mirror, Allen will turn his sights to a home date with the Steelers in Week 5.

Jones (ankle) returned to Sunday's contest versus the Bears, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

After taking a sack for an 11-yard loss late in the third quarter, Jones stayed in the game for two more plays before Graham Gano was successful on a field-goal attempt. While Jones had his left ankle taped up, Tyrod Taylor took over the Giants offense, but he threw a pick on his first possession and then took a helmet-to-helmet hit on the next drive that required concussion testing. Jones didn't take snaps under center right away, instead yielding them to Saquon Barkley out of the wildcat. However, Jones did so on the next possession.

Taylor is under evaluation for a head injury during Sunday's contest against the Bears, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Taylor took over for an injured Daniel Jones (ankle) in the fourth quarter, but he tossed an interception on his first drive before taking a helmet-to-helmet hit on his second possession. With the Giants rostering only two quarterbacks Sunday, Saquon Barkley operated out of the wildcat while Jones returned to the field and lined up out wide. It remains to be seen whether or not Taylor enters the concussion protocol.
