  • Jalen Hurts QB | PHI

    Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Scores team's only TD in SNF win

    Hurts completed 14 of 28 pass attempts for 135 yards while taking 10 carries for 31 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-9 win over Detroit.

    Hurts turned in a stat line similar to what he was producing out of the gates this season: low-volume passing totals with almost all of his value coming from his legs. Fantasy mangers would prefer if the 26-year-old could utilize both of his elite skills on a weekly basis, but at least his sporadic rushing scores have helped limit the signal-caller from truly having a bad game through 10 starts. Adding it all up, Hurts is completing 69 percent of his passes while accounting for 22 total touchdowns to just three turnovers. Those elite metrics coupled with a soft matchup against the Cowboys next Sunday should elevate Hurts' stock in Week 12.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Struggles in tough matchup Sunday

    Jackson completed 14 of 25 pass attempts for 193 yards and two interceptions while adding 10 rushing yards on four carries in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Browns.

    Jackson popped up on the injury report after missing one practice due to knee soreness, but his status for Sunday's tilt was never in jeopardy. The 28-year-old did not appear to be hampered by his knee, instead falling victim to a dominant performance by Myles Garrett (4.0 sacks) and the Cleveland defense. Jackson and the Ravens got the last laugh after earning the comeback victory on the back of Derrick Henry's excellent rushing day (18-103-1). Look for a healthy Jackson to let loose next Sunday against a Jets defense missing much of its star power after cleaning house at the trade deadline.

  • Browns' Shedeur Sanders: Struggles in relief Sunday

    Sanders completed four of 16 pass attempts for 47 yards and an interception while rushing three times for 16 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Ravens.

    Sanders started the second half for the Browns after Dillon Gabriel was forced to exit the contest to be evaluated for a concussion. The long-awaited debut for Sanders in a regular-season game went about as poorly as you could draw it up. The polarizing rookie completed just 25 percent of his passes while watching the six-point lead he inherited evaporate in the loss. Sanders' play didn't inspire hope for his next outing, which could come as soon as next Sunday if Gabriel isn't cleared for action against the Raiders. The latter should continue to start -- especially with how poorly Sanders performed in relief -- so long as Gabriel clears the league's concussion protocol.

  • Malik Willis QB | MIA

    Packers' Malik Willis: Sparks TD drive in win

    Willis completed both of his passes for six yards and one touchdown in the Packers' 27-20 win over the Giants on Sunday. He added 16 yards on one rushing attempt.

    Willis filled in on one drive while Jordan Love went to the locker room to be evaluated for an injury, but Love was quickly able to return to action. While in the game, Willis moved the offense and threw a one-yard touchdown pass to Christian Watson in the second quarter. If Love would need to miss any time to injury, Willis has shown the ability to succeed in coach Matt LaFleur's offense.

  • Bo Nix QB | DEN

    Broncos' Bo Nix: Keeps Denver in win column

    Nix completed 24 of 37 passes for 295 yards without a touchdown or an interception in Sunday's 22-19 win over Kansas City. He added eight rushing yards on three carries.

    It was the first time all season Nix had failed to produce a TD, but his 295 passing yards were his highest total since Week 4, and the second-year QB came through when it mattered most, hitting Troy Franklin for a 32-yard gain inside the final minute of the fourth quarter to set up Wil Lutz's game-winning FG. Nix will head into the Broncos' Week 12 bye riding an eight-game win streak that has them firmly in control of the AFC West, two games ahead of the Chargers and four wins clear of KC.

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Steelers' Aaron Rodgers: Likely to miss Week 12

    Rodgers may be dealing with "a slight break" in his left wrist, and backup Mason Rudolph is likely to start in Week 12 against the Bears, though the full extent of Rodgers' injury won't be determined until he undergoes further testing Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Rodgers got hurt late in the first half of Sunday's 34-12 win over the Bengals and didn't return for the second half. The injury is to Rodgers' left, non-throwing wrist. Monday's evaluation should help establish a recovery timetable for Rodgers while providing clarification regarding the nature of his wrist injury. Per Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Rodgers is optimistic that he won't face an extended absence.

  • Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Comes up short in Denver

    Mahomes completed 29 of 45 passes for 276 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 22-19 loss to the Broncos. He added three rushing yards on one carry.

    Even with Patrick Surtain (pectoral) still sidelined, Mahomes had trouble breaking down the Denver secondary, with his lone TD pass coming in the fourth quarter on a play in which Travis Kelce did most of the work. The star QB did at least extend his streak of games with 250-plus passing yards to seven, a stretch in which he's posted a 15:5 TD:INT, 66.8 percent completion rate and 7.7 YPA. Mahomes will try to get back on track, and revive Kansas City's suddenly fading playoff hopes, at home in Week 12 against the Colts.

  • Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Posts two total TDs in win

    Lawrence completed 14 of 22 passes for 153 yards with a touchdown and an interception while rushing five times for nine yards and another score in the Jaguars' 35-6 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

    Lawrence put together another lackluster stat line, but he leveraged the strong work of his ground game and defense for an easy win. Both of the fourth-year signal-caller's touchdowns came from one yard out, as he recorded a short scoring run with just under eight minutes remaining in the third quarter and had a short scoring toss to Tim Patrick early in the final period. Lawrence has now been under 200 passing yards in consecutive games and on four occasions overall this season, and he'll next face off with the inconsistent Cardinals defense in a Week 12 road matchup.

  • Sam Darnold QB | SEA

    Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Comes unraveled in big game

    Darnold completed 29 of 44 pass attempts for 279 yards, no touchdowns and four interceptions while rushing for 11 yards on two carries in Sunday's 21-19 loss to the Rams.

    Darnold failed to bounce back from last week's three-pick effort, instead lowering the bar by throwing four interceptions for the first time since 2019 during his infamous run with the Jets. It would be unfair to compare that version of the signal-caller to the improved franchise quarterback he developed into over the years, but Darnold is developing a concerning trend of losing his composure in big games. Notably, the last time he faced the Rams -- as a member of the Vikings in 2024 -- he fell flat while committing two turnovers in a playoff loss. The 28-year-old's horrid two-game stretch brings him to 17 touchdowns and 10 interceptions following a red-hot start to the fantasy campaign. Darnold's gaudy passing totals (2,541 yards in 10 starts) keep him in the starting conversation as a fantasy option against the Titans next Sunday.

  • Falcons' Michael Penix: Could miss additional games

    Penix (knee) is believed to have aggravated a previous knee injury during Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Panthers, and there is concern that he could miss additional time, Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network report.

    Penix exited in the third quarter of Sunday's loss, and Kirk Cousins finished out the game in relief. Cousins filled in when Penix sat out Atlanta's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins due to a bone bruise in his knee Week 8. If Penix misses additional action as feared, Cousins would start Week 12 against the Saints. Penix is set for additional testing on his injury.
