Tagovailoa completed 18 of 38 passes for 205 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in the Dolphins' 34-3 loss to the Titans on Sunday. He also rushed twice for one yard and committed three fumbles, losing one.

Tagovailoa's mess of a final line tells the tale of how forgettable an afternoon it was for both him and the Dolphins offense as a whole. The second-year signal-caller was kept out of sync all afternoon by an aggressive Titans defense that sacked him four times and limited him to 5.4 yards per attempt alongside a 53.1 QB rating. Tagovailoa helped just one pass catcher, Mike Gesicki, get over the 50-yard mark, and he threw an interception for the third straight game as well. The Dolphins are almost assuredly eliminated from postseason contention with the defeat, meaning Tagovailoa is likely to be playing for next season when Miami hosts the Patriots in Week 18.

Jones completed 22 of 30 passes for 227 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Patriots' 50-10 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. He also rushed twice for 12 yards.

Jones took advantage of a highly favorable matchup to exorcise some recent demons, posting his first interception-free effort in the last three games. The rookie had completed under 60.0 percent of his throws in each of the last two contests as well, but he was accurate early and often Sunday on the way to helping lead three first-half scoring drives. Jones spread the wealth on his touchdown throws, getting little-used Kristian Wilkerson into the end zone from six and 20 yards out and also connecting with the much more familiar Jakobi Meyers for a four-yard scoring toss just before halftime. The strong performance undoubtedly was a confidence builder for Jones ahead of the postseason, one he'll look to build on against the Dolphins in a Week 18 road clash.

Huntley completed 20 of 32 pass attempts for 197 yards and one interception while running for 54 yards on six carries against the Rams on Sunday.

Huntley wasn't exactly bad and certainly dealt with a lot of pressure (five sacks), but his Sunday showing was at the very least lower than the standard of play he displayed in his prior starts. It's not clear whether Lamar Jackson (ankle) might return for the Ravens' game against Pittsburgh in Week 18, but if he doesn't, Huntley would likely be the favorite to start again.

Lock was able to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers after having left the contest due to a shoulder issue.

The QB was out long enough for Brett Rypien to attempt two passes in his absence, but in his first play back Lock connected with wideout Courtland Sutton for a 44-yard gain.

Mahomes completed 26 of 35 passes for 259 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-31 loss to Cincinnati. He added 25 yards on two rushing attempts.

After punting on the opening drive, the Chiefs reeled off four consecutive touchdown drives, which included touchdown passes of 29 yards to Demarcus Robinson and three yards to Travis Kelce from Mahomes. Kansas City had a 28-17 halftime lead but cooled off after halftime while Cincinnati's offense just kept chewing clock and scoring points. What looked like it could be a memorable performance early fizzled out into a subpar game by Mamomes' lofty standards, but the loss means the top seed in the AFC will remain in play in Week 18, so Mahomes will start the Chiefs' season finale in Denver.

Lock exited Sunday's game against the Chargers after suffering a shoulder injury.

With Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) out this week, Lock was replaced at QB by Brett Rypien. Prior to his departure from the contest, Lock was 2-for-5 for 15 yards and ran once for six yards.

Allen completed 11 of 26 passes for 120 yards with no touchdowns and three interceptions in the Bills' 29-15 win over the Falcons on Sunday. He also rushed 15 times for 81 yards and two touchdowns and threw a two-point conversion pass.

Allen's passing line tells the story of what an atrocious day through the air it was for the talented signal-caller, a surprising development given the relatively favorable matchup presented by the Falcons defense. However, as ugly as his performance was from a pure football perspective, it was a solid one from a fantasy standpoint thanks to his one- and four-yard touchdown rushes in the first quarter. Allen's passing yardage total was his lowest of the season and his third sub-200-yard effort of the campaign overall, and he'll certainly be aiming to go into the postseason on an exponentially better note when he faces the Jets in Week 18.

Dalton completed 18 of 35 passes for 173 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the Bears' 29-3 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Dalton connected on an early touchdown pass to Darnell Mooney, but he barely completed half of his passes in a blowout win. With the Bears unable to have consistent success on the ground, they threw the ball more than they ran it, but Dalton was unable to click with anyone other than Darnell Mooney. If Justin Fields (ankle) is unable to play in Week 18 against the Vikings, Dalton may be a fantasy option in leagues that start two quarterbacks.

Burrow completed 30 of 39 passes for 446 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Chiefs. He added 10 yards on five rushing attempts, but Field Yates of ESPN reports that Burrow was sidelined for the game's final few plays after taking a hit and hobbling off the field.

After falling in an early 14-0 hole, Burrow connected with Ja'Marr Chase for a 72-yard touchdown. The Chiefs restored their 14-point lead on the ensuing drive, only for Burrow to answer again with an 18-yard touchdown pass to Chase. Burrow threw his third touchdown to Chase in the third quarter - this time from 69 yards out - before finally giving the Bengals the lead with a five-yard strike to Tyler Boyd early in the fourth quarter. The second-year quarterback engineered most of the game-winning drive late in the fourth, but backup Brandon Allen entered for a kneel-down play and a spike after Burrow limped off, setting up Evan McPherson's game-winning field goal as time expired. Burrow said after the game that his leg got twisted but he thinks he could have returned, per Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site, so he'll likely suit up in Week 18 against the Browns and look to build on his whopping 971 passing yards and eight touchdowns over his last two games.

Stafford completed 26 of 35 pass attempts for 309 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions against Baltimore on Sunday.

Stafford's game was far from clean -- he started slowly and lost a fumble in addition to the two interceptions -- but a certaint amount of credit has to be given to the Ravens' defense, which played a strong game despite a number of crucial injuries in the secondary. The 20-19 victory took the Rams down to the wire, with Stafford throwing the game-winning touchdown to Odell Beckham with about a minute left in the game. Stafford has struggled to create consistent production with any of his pass catchers aside from Cooper Kupp, who was once again automatic (six catches for 95 yards and one touchdown on seven targets). The Rams face the 49ers in Week 18.
