Jones completed 21 of 35 passes for 228 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 28-20 loss to the Cowboys. He added 14 rushing yards on three carries.

The Giants were able to take a lead into halftime thanks to their defense, but Dallas took control in the third quarter and Jones' only TD pass of the afternoon came with a little over a minute left in the fourth with New York down by 15. The quarterback once again played a turnover-free game, fumbling once but recovering it himself, but the Cowboys' pass rush also gave him few opportunities to sustain drives. Jones will look for better numbers and a better result in Week 13 against the Commanders.

Allen completed 24 of 42 passes for 253 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Thursday's 28-25 win over the Lions. He added 78 rushing yards and another TD on 10 carries.

While his Thanksgiving performance was somewhat marred by another red-zone interception on Buffalo's first drive of the second half, Allen was clutch when it counted, finding Stefon Diggs on a five-yard TD strike with just under three minutes left in the fourth quarter before hitting his No. 1 receiver again for a 39-yard gain with only 23 seconds left to help set up Tyler Bass' game-winning field goal. It's the first time in five games since the Bills' bye that Allen has produced three or more touchdowns, giving him some much-needed momentum heading into a crucial AFC East road tilt against the Patriots in Week 13.

Goff completed 22 of 37 pass attempts for 240 yards with two touchdowns in Thursday's 28-25 loss to Buffalo.

Goff put together a respectable stat line for fantasy purposes despite losing yet another scoring opportunity to Jamaal Williams and his league-leading 13 rushing touchdowns. However, the QB ended the game on a low note when the Lions were down three in Bills territory facing 3rd-and-1 and Goff decided to overlook multiple open receivers to poorly attempt a pass downfield to DJ Chark. With that said, better days could be ahead for Goff now that Detroit's offense -- which led the league in many offensive categories through the first few weeks of the season -- is getting significantly healthier. The impending debut of explosive rookie Jameson Williams (knee) can only bolster Goff's upside down the stretch.

Rodgers (thumb) practiced fully Thursday.

On Wednesday, Rodgers was asked about the nature of the thumb injury that he sustained back in Week 5. Per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, Rodgers said he's been playing through a broken thumb over the last six contests, a span in which he's completed 62 percent of his passes, averaged 230.8 pass yards per game and thrown 11 touchdowns versus four interceptions. With his status again cleared up by week's end, Rodgers' current focus is Sunday's matchup with an Eagles defense that has allowed a NFL-best 5.8 yards per attempt and picked off a league-high 13 passes (tied with the Bills) from opposing quarterbacks this season.

Fields (shoulder) was limited in practice Thursday.

On Wednesday, Fields clarified the nature of the injury to his left, non-throwing arm, calling it a separated shoulder with partially torn ligaments. So far, he's had a cap on his reps this week, leaving just one more opportunity to log a full practice Friday. Fields also told Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune that he intends to play Week 12 if he believes he can protect the shoulder in question. Having said that, if Fields receives a questionable designation for Sunday's contest at the Jets, his status won't be confirmed until 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Trevor Siemian is on hand to start at quarterback for the Bears if Fields is deemed unable to do so.

Wolford (neck) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's estimate practice report, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

The Rams held a jog-through Thursday, so Wolford may have been able to handle every rep in what likely was a scaled-back session. With coach Sean McVay already ruling out Matthew Stafford (concussion/neck) for Sunday's contest at Kansas City, Bryce Perkins is slated to handle the majority of the first-team reps Wednesday through Friday. It stands to wonder if Wolford can enter the mix as a starting option for Week 12, but Perkins seems like the better bet to be L.A.'s No. 1 signal-caller this weekend.

Jackson (hip) was listed as a full practice participant Thursday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Jackson missed Wednesday's practice, but his hip issue was downplayed afterward, with coach John Harbaugh noting that the QB would play Sunday against the Jaguars, per Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site. Thursday's listed full participation solidifies that Jackson will be a go this weekend, and as long as he's available on any given week, the signal-caller's dual-threat skills make him a quality fantasy option.

Walker (ankle) was listed as limited on Thursday's injury report, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Walker emerged from Week 10 action with a high-ankle sprain, which is expected to sideline him for a second game in a row Sunday versus the Broncos. Interim coach Steve Wilks said as much Wednesday, when Walker was limited, as he wants to give the quarterback Carolina's Week 13 bye to aid his recovery further. This weekend, Sam Darnold will direct the offense, with Baker Mayfield backing him up.

Rodgers, who was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, acknowledged that he's been playing with a broken right thumb since sustaining the injury Week 5 against the Giants in London, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

With the loss to the Giants, the Packers dropped to 3-2 overall and have since dropped five of their subsequent six contests. During that six-game span, Rodgers has completed 62 percent of his passes, averaged 230.8 passing yards and tossed 11 touchdowns versus four interceptions. Prior to the injury, those numbers were 68 percent, 231.4 yards per game and an 8:3 TD:INT. Because he's appeared on every one of the team's practice reports in the meantime, the issue likely has had an affect on his performance, but he said Wednesday that he doesn't think surgery is in the cards, either during or after the campaign. As long as the team has even a realistic chance to make the playoffs, Rodgers likely will continue to have some practice limitations to ensure he's good to go on game days.

Wolford (neck) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Wolford is a step ahead of where he was last week, when he sat out Wednesday before managing limited and full practices Thursday and Friday, respectively. He was then deemed inactive for the Rams' loss to the Saints, a contest in which Matthew Stafford left early. On Wednesday, head coach Sean McVay announced that Stafford was back in the concussion protocol and dealing with a neck injury, which will sideline him Sunday at Kansas City. Because Bryce Perkins is expected to handle most of the first-team reps this week, he's the likely candidate to be the Rams' starting quarterback Sunday, but Wolford could change those plans if he resumes full drills at practice Thursday and/or Friday.
