Bridgewater completed 18 of 25 passes for 179 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Lions.

The Broncos had little trouble with the flu- and COVID-ravaged visitors, which left Bridgewater without much to do while the backfield duo of Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams accounted for most of the team's scoring. The QB did salvage decent fantasy value in the second half, however, hitting Williams for a 10-yard score in the third quarter and Albert Okwuegbunam for a four-yard TD in the fourth. It's the first time Bridgewater has tossed multiple touchdowns since Week 7, giving him a bit of momentum heading into a Week 15 tilt against the Bengals.

Goff completed 24 of 39 passes for 215 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Broncos. He also gained 10 yards on two carries.

There was no opportunity for late-game heroics in this one for Goff, as the short-handed Lions got steamrolled in Denver. He did hit Kalif Raymond for a seven-yard score in the second quarter, but it was effectively the only highlight of the day for Detroit. Goff still has a fairly impressive 6:2 TD:INT over his last three games, but he'll face another stingy secondary in a Week 15 contest against the Cardinals.

Allen completed 36 of 54 passes for 308 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Bills' 33-27 overtime loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also rushed 12 times for 109 yards and another score. Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN reports that Allen sported a walking boot at his post-game press conference, suggesting that he picked up a lower leg injury at some point in the game.

Allen and the rest of the offense put only three points on the scoreboard during a first half in which Buffalo punted four times and the third-year quarterback threw an interception. However, after the Bills' first drive of the second half ended on downs, Allen was able to lead a trio of nine-play touchdown drives over the next four possessions, along with a 14-play, 70-yard march that culminated in a game-tying field goal. Although the Bills ultimately went three-and-out on their sole overtime possession, Allen's day was certainly an unqualified success from a fantasy perspective and included his first 100-yard rushing effort of the season, as well as his first touchdown on the ground since Week 8. Allen's first opportunity to put the disappointing loss behind him and attempt to firm up his team's increasingly tenuous playoff positioning comes in a favorable Week 15 home matchup against the Panthers, assuming further tests on his injured leg don't reveal damage that would require him to miss time.

Tannehill completed 20 of 31 passes for 191 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 20-0 win over the Jaguars. He added four rushes for 29 yards and a touchdown.

Tannehill didn't have to do much to lead the Titans to victory, as the team attempted 34 rushes as opposed to his 31 passing attempts. He averaged only 6.2 yards per attempt and failed to top 200 passing yards for the third time in his last five games. Tannehill did manage to salvage his performance with a five-yard rushing score in the third quarter. He may be forced to the air more often in what could be a high-scoring affair at Pittsburgh in Week 15.

Carr completed 33 of 45 passes for 263 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 48-9 loss to the Chiefs.

Carr failed to get the Raiders offense moving while the game remained competitive. He led a scoring drive to close the first half, though the field goal made the score 35-3. His lone touchdown came on the first possession of the second half, when he found Hunter Renfrow for a four-yard score. Otherwise, Carr was largely unimpressive as he managed only 5.8 yards per attempt, and he also lost a fumble when he was sacked early in the third quarter. Carr will head into a Week 15 matchup against Cleveland having failed to throw for multiple touchdowns in each of his last four games.

Herbert completed 23 of 31 pass attempts for 275 yards and three touchdowns against the Giants on Sunday.

Herbert established control from start to finish against the Giants, making productive targets out of secondary receivers Jalen Guyton (three catches for 87 yards and one touchdown on three targets) and Josh Palmer (five catches for 66 yards and one touchdown on seven targets) while lead target Keenan Allen sat due to COVID-19 protocols. Herbert's case for elite quarterback status continues to get stronger -- both in real football terms and in fantasy -- and with this game he has 300 or more yards passing in eight games this year, including five of the last six. The Chargers will face off against the Chiefs in Week 15, making for what could be the most important game on the slate. Herbert lit up the Chiefs for four touchdowns the first time around in Week 3 at Arrowhead, but the Chiefs defense has played better in recent weeks than it did to open the year.

Mahomes completed 20 of 24 passes for 258 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 48-9 win over the Raiders. He added four rushes for 20 yards.

Mahomes picked apart the Raiders defense in the first half, putting up 176 yards and two touchdowns. However, the Chiefs were up 35-3 at halftime, so Mahomes took to the air only nine times in the final two quarters. As a result, his stat line doesn't look as robust as it otherwise could have. Even so it, was a reassuring performance, as Mahomes averaged over 10 yards per attempt for the first time since Week 2. Next up, he and the Chiefs will draw a matchup Thursday against the Chargers.

Dalton (hand) is inactive for Sunday's contest at Green Bay.

Dalton injured his non-throwing hand during last Sunday's spot start against the Cardinals, and his inability to practice Wednesday through Friday didn't give him much of a chance to be available this weekend. Even if he was, though, he would have been Justin Fields' backup after the rookie was cleared to return from the small rib fractures that sidelined him the past two games. Instead, Nick Foles will serve as the No. 2 to Fields on Sunday.

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.

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.
