Hurts (ankle) was listed as a full participant on Sunday's injury report.

Hurts opened Week 15 prep with consecutive 'limited' listings before the Eagles bumped him up to full Friday and called him questionable for a Week 15 game against Washington. But that's before the NFL moved back the scheduled Sunday matchup to Tuesday due to a significant amount of Washington players residing on the reserve/COVID-19 list. With additional time to get his sprained left ankle healthier, Hurts has continued to log full practices and may head into Tuesday without a designation whatsoever. If he does, it would mark his first action since Week 12. On the other hand, an inactive Hurts would yield to Gardner Minshew, who racked up 242 yards and two touchdowns through the air in a spot start Week 13 at the Jets.

Lawrence completed 22 of 38 passes for 210 yards with zero touchdowns or interceptions during Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Texans. He also had five carries for 21 yards.

Lawrence took care of the ball Sunday after throwing four interceptions last week, but he averaged just 5.5 yards per attempt as the offense managed only one touchdown. The rookie No. 1 overall pick has thrown only two touchdowns in eight games since Jacksonville's Week 7 bye, which is contrasted by six interceptions and four fumbles (one lost) during that stretch.

Mills completed 19 of 30 passes for 209 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Texans' 30-16 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. He also rushed once for two yards.

The rookie signal-caller didn't put up anywhere as pretty a stat line as in the Week 14 loss to the Seahawks, but Mills was more than serviceable on the road against a division opponent. Mills connected with favorite target Brandin Cooks for both of his touchdown tosses, with the speedster doing almost all the work on the second, a 43-yarder in the fourth quarter. Mills appears to have benefited plenty from the experience he garnered while starting in Tyrod Taylor's stead earlier in the season, but he may have an uphill battle trying to add to his recent solid body of work in a Week 16 home date versus a stingy Chargers secondary.

Goff completed 21 of 26 passes for 216 yards and three touchdowns during Sunday's 30-12 win over Arizona.

In what might be the most surprising upset of the season, Goff only needed to throw 26 passes to lead the short-handed Lions to a rout over the heavily favored Cardinals with Craig Reynolds, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Josh Reynolds as his top weapons. While it's not clear if Detroit is turning a corner with head coach Dan Campbell now calling the plays, Goff has thrown three touchdowns in two of the past three games and the Lions are now 2-2-1 overall with Campbell at the helm of the offense. Although Goff won't be getting T.J. Hockenson (finger) back this year, D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and Jamaal Williams (illness) could return for a Week 16 matchup with an Atlanta defense that is 31st in fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks.

Prescott completed 28 of 37 passes for 217 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the Cowboys' 21-6 win over the Giants on Sunday. He also netted minus-1 yard on two rushes, lost a fumble and recovered another.

With the Giants' offense once again helmed by the perpetually ineffective Mike Glennon, head coach Mike McCarthy could afford to keep things relatively close to the vest offensively once it became clear the Cowboys defense wouldn't be pressed much. That led to another day of modest numbers for Prescott, who did find the end zone on a one-yard touchdown toss to Dalton Schultz late in the third quarter for the final points of the afternoon on either side. For fantasy managers riding with him in their playoff games Sunday, the fact the Cowboys didn't aggressively attack downfield more against a New York secondary missing multiple starters had to be particularly disappointing, but the approach was more than effective to garner Prescott and his teammates another key late-season win. Prescott's next chance to come up big at a critical time of year will be a Week 16 home date against Washington.

Murray completed 23 of 41 passes for 257 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 30-12 loss to the Lions. He added three yards on four rushing attempts.

Murray struggled in the first game since his favorite target DeAndre Hopkins (knee) was shut down for the remainder of the regular season. The Lions did a great job of keeping the mobile quarterback from making plays with his legs en route to arguably the biggest upset of the season. It was 17-0 Detroit at the half, and just as the Cardinals seemed to be getting back into it with a field goal and a forced fumble to open the third quarter, Murray stunted that momentum with an interception. His 26-yard touchdown pass to Christian Kirk came with just 4:46 remaining, and backup Colt McCoy entered for Arizona's final possession as the Cardinals waved the white flag. Murray will look to bounce back and end Arizona's two-game losing streak when the Colts come to town for a Week 16 Saturday showdown.

Allen completed 19 of 34 pass attempts for 210 yards, three touchdowns and one interception while running for 24 yards on three carries in the 31-14 win over Carolina on Sunday.

Allen generally did well while playing through the foot tweak he suffered in Week 14, especially given the pressure applied by the Carolina pass rush. Perhaps Allen's box score wasn't particularly clean in this game, but the Carolina defense is often tough against the pass, so between that and the foot issue Allen deserves lenient grading. A Week 16 road game against the Patriots is one of the worst-case scenarios for a quarterback, and the pass blocking might be an ongoing concern, but at least a game like Sunday's serves as reminder that Allen can win even in difficult circumstances.

With Lamar Jackson (ankle) inactive, Huntley is slated to start Sunday's game against the Packers, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Huntley thus represents a direct replacement option for those who held out hope that Jackson might be able to play Sunday, as well as fantasy managers scrambling for QB depth at this stage of Week 15, for any reason. While the 23-year-old Huntley can't match Jackson's upside, he's held his own as a passer when he's been pressed into expanded duty this season, while also chipping in as a rushing option.

Jackson (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers.

With Jackson unavailable for the contest, Tyler Huntley is slated to start at QB in his place, while Josh Johnson is on hand to back him up. Jackson will thus target a potential return to action next Sunday against the Bengals.

Grier (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Grier hasn't dressed for Dallas since Week 8, when top backup Cooper Rush made a spot start against the Vikings while Dak Prescott was sidelined with a calf injury. Expect Grier to remain a fixture on the inactive list the rest of the season so long as Prescott and Rush are both available on gamedays.
