Mayfield completed 15 of his 29 pass attempts for 176 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 13-10 win over Detroit.

Mayfield was intercepted early in the first quarter and again in the fourth to mark the first time he's thrown multiple picks in a game this season. He offset that slightly with a five-yard touchdown pass to Nick Chubb late in the second quarter. Though Mayfield averaged only 6.1 yards per attempt, he connected on four passes that went for gains of 20 yards or more. Mayfield has openly acknowledged that he is playing through a number of injuries that are likely to affect his performance both for a Week 12 matchup against Baltimore and for the rest of the campaign, so there isn't much reason to project major improvement in his results.

Tannehill completed 35 of 52 pass attempts for 323 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions in Sunday's 22-13 loss to the Texans. He added two rushes for three yards.

There was consistent rain throughout the contest in Tennessee, and that seemed to have a significant effect on Tannehill's effectiveness. In addition to four interceptions, he also fumbled twice, though both were recovered by the Titans. A combination of the weather and turnovers limited Tannehill to only 6.2 yards per attempt, and he logged only four passes that went for gains of at least 15 yards. Tannehill has now failed to throw for multiple touchdowns in nine of his 11 games this season heading into a Week 12 matchup against a New England defense that has stifled opponents of late.

Cousins completed 24 of 35 pass attempts for 341 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 34-31 win over Green Bay.

Cousins went into a matchup that can be challenging for opposing quarterbacks and excelled while leading his team to a surprising victory. The 33-year-old has been on a roll of late, completing 67 percent of his passes for 1,379 yards with 11 touchdowns and no interceptions over his last five contests. Cousins will look to keep his momentum rolling next Sunday against a San Francisco squad that is very thin in the secondary.

Taylor completed 14 of 24 passes for 107 yards in Sunday's 22-13 win over the Titans. He added six rushes for 28 yards and two touchdowns.

Taylor was ineffective through the air, likely at least in part due to consistent rain throughout the game. However, he managed plenty of production on the ground, finding the end zone from seven and five yards away. Though that salvaged his fantasy performance, Taylor has completed only 38 of his 67 passes for 5.2 yards per attempt and three interceptions with no touchdowns across two games since being activated off injured reserve. That makes him a risky starting option, even given a very favorable matchup against the Jets in Week 12.

Rodgers (toe) completed 23 of 33 pass attempts for 385 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 34-31 loss to Minnesota.

Rodgers entered the contest nursing what was described as a painful toe injury, but you wouldn't have been able to tell by looking at his dominant stat line. That doesn't mean the star quarterback's toe won't be an issue moving forward, as the affected foot was stepped on before halftime. After the game Rodgers stated that the injury is "a little worse than turf toe" and will likely remain an issue until he can rest it on Green Bay's Week 13 bye, ESPN's Rob Demovsky reports. The 37-year-old already hinted that he is unlikely to practice this week, but it sounds like he is going to try and tough it out and suit up against the Rams next Sunday. If Rodgers is a go, his toe injury may be tougher to mask against the dominant pass-rush duo of Aaron Donald and Von Miller than it was against the Vikings.

Tagovailoa completed 27 of 33 passes for 273 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Jets. He added six rushing yards on three attempts.

Tagovailoa completed all six of his passes on the opening possession, which was eventually capped by a one-yard Jaylen Waddle rushing touchdown on a wildcat play. The next drive didn't go nearly as well, though, as Tua was intercepted and the Jets scored on their ensuing drive to tie it up. Neither team mustered any more points in the first half, but Tagovailoa broke the tie on Miami's first drive after halftime by finding Mack Hollins behind the Jets secondary for a 65-yard touchdown. He later capitalized on a generous roughing the passer penalty, which helped keep alive a fourth-quarter drive that Tua eventually capped with a five-yard touchdown to Myles Gaskin to give Miami the lead for good. Injuries have made it difficult for Tagovailoa to get into a rhythm this season, but he'll look to build on this encouraging performance in Week 12 against a tough Panthers defense.

Siemian completed 22 of 40 passes for 214 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions in the Saints' 40-29 loss to the Eagles on Sunday. He also rushed twice for 16 yards and another score.

The journeyman signal-caller's proverbial carriage turned into somewhat of a pumpkin Sunday, although Siemian's four total touchdowns were certainly welcome from a fantasy perspective. However, from a football perspective, Siemian may have hurt as much as he helped, as one of his two interceptions was returned for a pick-six by Darius Slay, while two of his touchdown passes and his rushing score came in a fourth quarter the Saints entered trailing 33-7. Nevertheless, with three consecutive multi-touchdown efforts and Sunday's two picks his first pair this season, Siemian seems a virtual lock to be under center again for the Thanksgiving night showdown with the Bills in Week 12.

Huntley completed 26 of 36 passes for 219 yards with no touchdowns and one interception and rushed seven times for 40 yards in the Ravens' 16-13 win over the Bears on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Baltimore.

Filling in for Lamar Jackson (illness), Huntley turned in very solid numbers in his first NFL regular-season start. Huntley also turned in a reasonably good impression of Jackson on the ground, but his biggest contributions came through the air late when he completed 21- and 29-yard passes to Devin Duvernay and Sammy Watkins, respectively, on what would turn out to be Baltimore's game-winning drive. With the source of Jackson's non-COVID malady still a mystery to the Ravens' training staff, it remains to be seen if Huntley will be called upon for a second straight start in a Week 12 home divisional clash with the Browns.

Garoppolo completed 16 of 22 pass attempts for 176 yards and two touchdowns against Jacksonville on Sunday.

Garoppolo and the 49ers passing attack probably could have done more damage if there had been a need, but the Jaguars never posed anything close to a threat in the 30-10 victory for San Francisco. Garoppolo should need to throw more often against what looks like a good matchup against the Vikings in Week 12, particularly with Brandon Aiyuk (seven catches for 85 yards and one touchdown on seven targets Sunday) showing some life lately.

Lawrence completed 16 of 25 pass attempts for 158 yards against San Francisco on Sunday, adding three carries for 23 yards.

Lawrence managed to avoid turnovers but couldn't generate any yardage until the game was almost over, leading the Jaguars to their only touchdown (a one-yard James Robinson carry) with just about three minutes left in the 30-10 blowout. Perhaps Lawrence can do better against Atlanta in Week 12, but there's not much reason to take the leap of faith given the profound struggles of the Jacksonville offense to this point.
