Stafford completed 23 of 29 passes for 195 yards with three touchdowns and one interception and rushed three times for minus-3 yards in the Rams' 35-21 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Stafford was operating with a less-than-100-percent Puka Nacua (calf) and without Davante Adams (IR, hamstring), so his reduced passing yardage total wasn't entirely surprising. The reigning MVP still found a way to deliver a highly useful fantasy performance via a trio of first-half scoring strikes to Davis Allen (three, five yards) and Nacua (11 yards). Stafford also extended a streak of games with better than a 74.0 percent completion rate to three, and his 79.3 percent tally Sunday was a season-high figure. Stafford next takes aim at the Chargers defense in a Week 8 home matchup next Sunday.

Cousins completed 26 of 44 passes for 295 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing three times for six yards in the Raiders' 35-21 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

With the Raiders trailing throughout, Cousins had another very busy day and finished with his third-highest passing yardage total of the season. Cousins also threw multiple touchdown passes for the sixth time in seven games, connecting with Tre Tucker (37 yards) and Ashton Jeanty (15 yards) for fourth-quarter scoring strikes. The veteran signal-caller continues to show excellent command of Klint Kubiak's offense, as he connected with eight different targets in the high-scoring loss. Cousins has compiled 1,877 passing yards and generated a 16:5 TD:INT through his first seven games heading into a Week 8 road matchup against the Jets next Sunday.

Goff completed 22 of 32 passes for 303 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Packers.

It's the third time in six games this season Goff has passed for 300-plus yards, and the fifth time he's tossed multiple TDs. Both of his scores in this one went to Jameson Williams, as he connected with the speedy wideout for a 16-yard strike in the first quarter and a 10-yard touchdown in the third. Goff will take a stellar 14:0 TD:INT into a crucial NFC North battle in Week 8 against the undefeated Vikings.

Purdy completed 27 of 40 passes for 288 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions and added two carries for five yards in the 49ers' 29-20 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

Purdy put together an impressive passing yardage total, especially considering he was down both Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring), along with De'Zhaun Stribling (IR, ankle) and Demarcus Robinson (IR, ankle). He also lost Christian McCaffrey for the entirety of the second quarter due to a leg injury that the star back eventually returned from, but the scarcity of his top pass catchers eventually led to a more mistake-filled performance than usual. The multi-interception tally was Purdy's first of the season, and the two picks led to 10 points for the Falcons. Purdy should have a chance to work with an exponentially deeper pass-catching corps in a Week 9 home matchup against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 8, as the Week 8 bye should offer multiple receivers a chance to recover from their respective injuries.

Brissett completed 27 of 48 passes for 272 yards and a touchdown while rushing seven times for 16 yards in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Broncos.

After failing to score a touchdown in the Week 6 win over the Rams, Brissett and the Cardinals mustered only one touchdown on five trips into the red zone Sunday. Brissett averaged a meager 5.7 yards per pass attempt but inflated his numbers with heavy volume. He has a 3-16 record since taking over as Arizona's starting QB while throwing at least 40 passes in 10 of those 19 starts. Brissett's likely to post a more efficient passing performance in Week 8 against a far more permissive Cowboys pass defense.

Love completed 27 of 45 passes for 274 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 20-17 loss in Detroit.

Love and the Packers welcomed back top RB Josh Jacobs to the lineup, but season-long woes in the team's running game didn't improve, with the team averaging 3.2 YPC on its 19 carries. Head coach Matt LaFleur thus turned to the air to get the offense moving, and Love spread the ball around liberally, with nine different pass catchers being targeted, and six of those players recording at least two catches. Love now has thrown a touchdown in all seven games this season, including exactly two TDs on six occasions, but he's also sitting on a subpar 59.8 completion percentage on the campaign. He and the offense will attempt to get right Thursday night versus the Panthers.

Nix completed 15 of 29 passes for 222 yards and a touchdown while rushing seven times for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Cardinals.

Nix led the Broncos in rushing yards thanks to a 62-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter, which was the longest regular-season rushing score by a QB since Justin Fields ran in a 67-yard TD in 2022. Nix added a 52-yard touchdown pass to RJ Harvey in the third quarter, but it was another quiet outing as a passer for the third-year QB, as Nix has only one multi-touchdown performance through seven starts and is averaging just 182 passing yards per game. Those poor numbers include a 131-yard, one-TD Week 1 performance against the Chiefs, whom the Broncos will host for a Week 8 rematch.

Young completed 14 of 27 passes for 163 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions and added one carry for nine yards in the Panthers' 43-13 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Young's performance was a microcosm of the Panthers' day as a whole, as the 2023 first overall pick posted a season-low passing yardage tally and completed under 52.0 percent of his passes for the second straight game. Young also tossed multiple picks for the first time this season, and the two miscues led to 10 total points for Tampa Bay. The entire afternoon was essentially a throwaway game for Carolina, and Young and his teammates will look to quickly rebound in a Week 8 road matchup against the Packers on Thursday night.

Mayfield completed seven of 11 passes for 64 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and rushed once for one yard in the Buccaneers' 43-13 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Making his return from a three-game absence due to a thumb injury, Mayfield had the luxury of being eased back in thanks to a highly positive game script. Tampa Bay already held a 33-6 lead by halftime, which Mayfield contributed to by tossing a 14-yard touchdown pass to Tez Johnson with four seconds remaining in the first half. Mayfield didn't have to do much else during a cakewalk of a second half as well, but it did allow him to work off some rust ahead of a Week 8 home divisional clash against the Falcons next Sunday.

McCarthy completed 20 of 28 passes for 252 yards and no touchdowns or interceptions in Sunday's 27-21 overtime win over the Texans. He added one yard on his only carry.

Making his first start of the season, McCarthy was efficient in getting the Giants into position to score, but all four of their touchdowns came on the ground -- including a one-yard plunge by the man he replaced under center, Jameis Winston, in the second quarter. The victory alone was enough to keep McCarthy in the starting job, and after a bye he'll gear up for a Week 9 clash with the Eagles.
