  • Daniel Jones QB | IND

    Giants' Daniel Jones: Visit with specialist on tap Monday

    Jones is slated to visit with a specialist and also will undergo another scan on his neck Monday, coach Joe Judge told Shannon Spake on the Fox broadcast of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Jones traveled to L.A. early last week to meet with a specialist regarding his strained neck, but he has yet to be cleared for contact, as evidenced by the Giants listing him as limited in practice Wednesday through Friday and ultimately ruling him out for a second consecutive contest. Mike Glennon has filled in for Jones during the latter's absence, but the offense has been futile, with just 22 points through nearly eight quarters of action. Monday's potential developments could set in motion the return of Jones to the top of the QB depth chart.

  • P.J. Walker QB | SEA

    Panthers' P.J. Walker: Mixed bag as in-game replacement

    Walker took over for an ineffective Cam Newton with 6:10 remaining in the Panthers' 29-21 loss to the Falcons on Sunday and completed six of 12 passes for 75 yards with a touchdown and an interception while losing five yards on two rushes. He also committed a fumble but recovered.

    Walker wasn't able to fare much better than the man he replaced under center, but he did manage to lead a six-play, 51-yard scoring march late in the fourth quarter that he capped off with a five-yard touchdown pass to Robby Anderson. David Newton of ESPN.com reports coach Matt Rhule confirmed after the game that Newton is still the starter, but as was made clear Sunday, he likely won't hesitate to make a switch if things start to go south in Week 15 on the road against the Bills.

  • Tyler Huntley QB | BAL

    Ravens' Tyler Huntley: Takes over for injured starter

    Huntley took over for Lamar Jackson (ankle) on Sunday, completing 27 of 38 pass attempts for 270 yards and a touchdown, adding 45 yards on six rushing attempts in a 24-22 loss to Cleveland.

    Jackson went down early in the second quarter with an apparent ankle injury and had to be carted off the field. Huntley took over and did his best impression of the star quarterback he replaced, leading the Ravens to a late comeback attempt that fell a two-point conversion away from tying the game. The second-year quarterback already flashed his dual-threat ability this season in a Week 11 spot start for Jackson, when he completed 72 percent of his passes and rushed for 40 yards. We will get a Week 15 status update on Jackson when he undergoes an MRI on Monday, but Huntley is beginning to prove that he can step up anytime the Ravens' best player is sidelined.

  • Zach Wilson QB | NO

    Jets' Zach Wilson: Inaccurate sans Davis, Moore

    Wilson completed 19 of 42 passes for 202 yards while adding 33 rushing yards on four attempts in Sunday's 30-9 loss to the Saints. He didn't have a touchdown or turnover.

    Wilson struggled mightily without top two wide receivers Corey Davis (groin) and Elijah Moore (quadriceps), both of whom are on IR. He didn't eclipse 100 passing yards until the Jets fell behind 23-6 in the fourth quarter. Wilson didn't get any help on the ground, either, finishing as the Jets' leading rusher in the game. Given the injury-riddled state of the team around him and his own inconsistent play, the rookie second overall pick will be tough to trust in Week 15 against the hot Dolphins defense.

  • Kyle Allen QB | BUF

    Football Team's Kyle Allen: Replaces injured starter

    Allen completed four of nine passes for 53 yards against Dallas on Sunday.

    Allen stepped in after starter Taylor Heinicke left the game with a knee injury in the fourth quarter. Allen lacks Heinicke's athleticism and big-play ability in general, so he'd likely be a downgrade from his teammate in both a football and fantasy sense. However, Allen is the next man up if Heinicke can't play against Philadelphia in Week 15.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Will be evaluated Monday

    The Ravens plan to see how Jackson feels Monday before any determinations are made on how to proceed with the QB's right ankle injury, Dianna Russini of ESPN reports.

    Per Russini, there's hope from the team that Jackson, who sported a walking boot following Sunday's loss to the Browns, may have escaped with a low-ankle sprain. However, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic relays that there is some concern it may be a high-ankle issue for the signal-caller. If Jackson is forced to miss any time, Tyler Huntley is next up for Baltimore's QB reps.

  • Dak Prescott QB | DAL

    Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Ineffective on the road

    Prescott completed 22 of 39 pass attempts for 211 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions against Washington on Sunday. He added seven rushes for 15 yards and committed a fumble that he recovered.

    It was an ugly game for Prescott, who began the game reasonably well but struggled in the second half. The sixth-year quarterback let Washington back into the game with a fourth-quarter pick-six to linebacker Cole Holcomb, who Prescott evidently just did not see before making the throw. The Washington defense has played better in recent weeks than it did at the beginning of the season, so perhaps Prescott just got the worst of Washington's unexpected ascent; however, it would be difficult to rationalize any additional poor play from this point forward with the Giants up next in Week 15.

  • Davis Mills QB | HOU

    Texans' Davis Mills: Hot start not enough versus Seattle

    Mills completed 33 of 49 passes for 331 yards and a touchdown while adding eight yards on two rushing attempts in Sunday's 33-13 loss to the Seahawks.

    Mills hit his first 14 passes for 150 yards, including a five-yard touchdown to Brevin Jordan to cap the opening drive. He cooled down after Brandin Cooks was tackled just short of the goal line, missing the next two throws as the Texans had to settle for a game-tying field goal. It was all Seahawks after that, though Mills continued to pile up passing yards with the Houston running game failing to get anything going. Having been named the starting quarterback for the remainder of the season, Mills will look to build on this promising performance in Week 15 against the Jaguars.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Sprained right ankle confirmed

    Coach John Harbaugh confirmed after Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Browns that Jackson suffered a right ankle sprain in the contest, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    "We'll look at it more tomorrow and see where we're at," Harbaugh noted in his Sunday post-game remarks. With that in mind, consider Jackson day-to-day as next weekend's game against the Packers approaches.

  • Russell Wilson QB | NYG

    Seahawks' Russell Wilson: Tosses two scores in win

    Wilson completed 17 of 28 passes for 260 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Texans. He also ran twice for eight yards.

    Wilson put together his best game since returning from finger surgery in Week 10, tossing a 55-yard touchdown to Tyler Lockett and a one-yard score to Gerald Everett. We haven't seen many deep shots from Wilson since his injury, so his connection with Lockett demonstrated that the 33-year-old quarterback is as close to 100 percent as he can get. Nevertheless, he'll have a tough matchup against the Rams -- which are fourth in the league with 32 sacks entering their Week 14 Monday night matchup against the Cardinals -- in Week 15.
