Murray completed 26 of 38 passes for 263 yards and two touchdowns while adding 44 rushing yards on nine carries in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Cowboys.

It's the first time in four games that Murray has tossed multiple TDs, as he found Antoine Wesley for red-zone strikes in the second and third quarters. With a playoff spot locked up but the NFC West title still in reach, Murray will look to finish the regular season with another big performance in Week 18 against the Seahawks.

Heinicke completed 27 of 36 passes for 247 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles. He added two rushes for 14 yards.

Contrary to reports that surfaced throughout the week, Heinicke was Washington's sole quarterback against the Eagles. However, his results didn't necessarily dictate that be the case. He averaged only 6.9 yards per attempt and also threw at least one interception for the fifth consecutive game. In addition to the errors, Heinicke failed to reach the end zone -- the ninth time in his last 11 contests that he has failed to throw for multiple touchdowns. Even if Heincke remains the starter in Week 18 against the Giants, his potential for a big game is not high.

Tannehill completed 13 of his 18 passes for 120 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Dolphins.

The Titans were leading comfortably for much of the game, which limited Tannehill to a season-low 18 pass attempts. However, he was still able to throw for multiple touchdowns for the first time since Week 8, connecting with Geoff Swaim and Anthony Firkser from one and 15 yards away, respectively. Tannehill is likely to end up in a similar game script in Week 18 against Houston, so he may take to the air a limited number of times once again.

Lance completed 16 of 23 pass attempts for 249 yards, two touchdowns and an interception Sunday, adding 31 yards on eight carries in a 23-7 win over Houston.

Lance made his second start of the season in place of Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb), turning in a solid fantasy performance in the process. The end results may look good for the third-overall pick from this year's draft, but we didn't see the quarterback settle in until the second half. Lance had some bouts of inaccuracy -- one of the criticisms of the raw prospect -- most notably a forced throw into double coverage that resulted in his lone interception. Head coach Kyle Shanahan called a conservative game plan to protect his rookie for the majority of the contest, but when he finally opened up the playbook, we saw some of the big-play ability that excites fantasy managers. Garoppolo's status for Week 18 against the Rams is uncertain and may be another late-week decision, but Shanahan stated that Lance will be the backup if the usual starter is healthy enough to play, according to David Lombardi of The Athletic.

Mills completed 21 of 32 pass attempts for 163 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 23-7 loss to the 49ers.

Mills maintained his recent string of accuracy, finishing with a completion rate above 60 percent for the fourth straight game. The rookie quarterback wasn't able to take many shots downfield, as the Texans' inconsistent offensive line struggled to contain the 49ers' pass rush. The 167 total yards (four rushing yards) were the signal caller's lowest yardage output since Week 7. Mills has shown some flashes at times this season, but inconsistent play keeps him off of most fantasy radars heading into a tough matchup against Tennessee next Sunday.

Lock completed 18 of 25 passes for 245 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Chargers.

It was a better performance than Lock managed last week against the Raiders, but the end result was the same for the Broncos. His lone touchdown pass, a five-yard toss to Noah Fant, came in the fourth quarter after the game was well out of reach. Lock briefly went to the locker room with a shoulder injury but was able to return after getting a shot in the shoulder, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports. Depending on the health of his shoulder and Teddy Bridgewater's progress from his concussion, Lock may have to make the start in Denver's final game of the season, Week 18 against Kansas City.

Carr completed 24 of 31 passes for 255 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Colts.

Carr led the Raiders on the game-winning drive, accounting for 51 passing yards to get the team into field-goal range. He focused in on Zay Jones and Hunter Renfrow as his primary targets throughout the contest, with the former serving as a big-play threat and the latter as a security blanket primarily in the short areas of the field. Carr was also uncharacteristically susceptible to mistakes, as he threw multiple interceptions in a game for only the second time on the campaign. However, he's now also failed to throw more than one touchdown in each of his last seven games. Carr will hope to lead the Raiders to victory and into the playoffs in a Week 18 matchup against the Chargers.

Wilson completed 20 of 29 pass attempts for 236 yards and four touchdowns while running for 24 yards on six carries against Detroit on Sunday.

The Detroit defense is one of the weakest in the league, and this game proved to be a good setting for Wilson to reestablish some rapport with DK Metcalf (six catches for 63 yards and three touchdowns on nine targets). Wilson will need Metcalf to keep producing alongside Tyler Lockett (three catches for 24 yards and one touchdown on three targets Sunday) if the Seahawks offense is to maintain its momentum against a tough Arizona defense in Week 18.

Darnold completed 17 of 26 passes for 132 yards and an interception in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Saints. He also was sacked seven times and lost a fumble.

Darnold led the Panthers to points on their first two drives, but his performance went downhill from there. The signal-caller was stripped deep in his own territory on Carolina's third offensive series, then took plenty more hits while struggling to move the ball beyond underneath completions. When trying to tie the game late, Darnold was intercepted on his final pass, capping another underwhelming showing. While it's encouraging that Darnold made way for Cam Newton for only one offensive snap -- a five-yard rush by Newton in the second quarter -- his display Sunday doesn't raise optimism over his stock heading into Week 18's finale versus the Buccaneers.

Herbert tallied 22 completions on 31 attempts for 237 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-13 victory over the Broncos.

Herbert and company didn't need to do much with the Broncos defense decimated by COVID-19 as the quarterback easily knifed through a vulnerable unit. As a result, it was hardly a banner day for the second-year quarterback, but Herbert's second touchdown pass did lock up the franchise record for most touchdowns thrown in a single season. Up next is a critical divisional matchup with the Raiders that will likely determine one of the few remaining AFC playoff spots.
