Wilson completed 23 of 38 pass attempts for 226 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 33-18 loss to the Eagles. He also rushed three times for zero yards and one touchdown.

Wilson set new career-high marks in pass attempts and total touchdowns. Though he averaged only 5.9 yards per attempt, Wilson managed to connect for a pair of short touchdown throws coming from three and one yards away. He found the end zone on a third occasion on a quarterback sneak late in the first quarter to record the second rushing touchdown of his career. Though Wilson is still inconsistent and mistake-prone, he did manage to distribute the ball well to key playmakers on the team such as Elijah Moore and Jamison Crowder. In spite of the loss, there were positives to take away from his performance heading into a Week 14 matchup against New Orleans.

Lawrence completed 16 of 28 passes for 145 yards and added 10 yards on four carries Sunday in the Jaguars' 37-7 loss to the Rams.

Lawrence and the Jaguars offense tend to struggle even against defenses worse than this one, so a dreary outcome was to be expected against the Rams. Similarly, there's not much reason to hope for anything good when Lawrence and the Jaguars face the Titans in Week 14, though the matchup is arguably more favorable than this week's.

Tagovailoa completed 30 of his 41 pass attempts for 244 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 20-9 win over the Giants.

Tagovailoa reached 40 pass attempts for the third time this season and for the first time since Week 7. He put up a disappointing yardage total by averaging only 6.0 yards per attempt despite being accurate with his passes. That was a product of largely working in short areas of the field, as he had only one completion of more than 20 yards. However, Tagovailoa salvaged his performance with a pair of touchdowns, one from five yards away and the other from two. Tagovailoa has proven to have a safe floor of production in recent weeks, though he has topped 300 passing yards only once on the campaign.

Stafford completed 26 of 38 passes for 295 yards and three touchdowns against Jacksonville on Sunday.

Stafford started the game a bit slow but got hot in the second half, throwing one touchdown to each of Cooper Kupp, Odell Beckham and Van Jefferson. The strong finish allowed Stafford to come through for his fantasy investors in a favorable matchup despite the slow start, but it would be nice to see Stafford throw a clean game from start to finish as the Rams prepare for a playoff run. Stafford will head to Arizona in Week 14 to face the Cardinals, an opponent he somewhat struggled against at home in Week 4 (26 of 41 for 280 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in a 37-20 loss).

Cousins completed 30 of 40 pass attempts for 340 yards and two touchdowns while losing a fumble in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Lions.

Cousins led what appeared to be a game-winning drive near the end of the fourth quarter, but he was forced to helplessly watch Minnesota's defense cough up the lead as time expired. Despite the embarrassing loss to the no-longer win-less Lions, Cousins was able to continue his recent trend of premier play from the pocket. The 32-year-old is quietly stringing together one of his finest seasons as a pro, completing 69 percent of his passes for 3,353 yards and a sparkling 25:3 TD:INT ratio through 12 games. The Steelers will provide a stiffer test compared to the Lions from a defensive perspective, but Cousins remains a viable option in all formats heading in this week's Thursday Night Football matchup.

Herbert completed 26 of 35 passes for 317 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

The Chargers defense took over in the first quarter, setting the stage for Herbert to toss three first-half touchdowns in what appeared to be an easy win before typical Los Angeles shenanigans complicated matters somewhat. Herbert's lone interception was essentially fluky as it came on a gorgeous deep ball that simply slid off Josh Palmer's hands into the defending corner's flailing arms. The second-year quarterback now has three straight games with at least 300 yards passing and two-plus touchdowns and figures to be in line for another solid performance next week against the struggling Giants.

Burrow completed 24 of 40 passes for 300 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions in the Bengals' 41-22 loss to the Chargers on Sunday. He also rushed once for six yards and lost a fumble, the latter a first-quarter play on which he suffered a a dislocated pinkie finger, Marisa Contipelli of the team's official site reports.

Burrow's injury ultimately didn't lead to a subpar fantasy day by any stretch, even though the two interceptions were certainly a blemish. However, the 2020 first overall pick hit the 300-yard mark for the third time this season and extended his streak with at least one touchdown pass to three games when he connected with Tee Higgins on a 29-yard scoring toss to start a comeback from 24-0. Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports Burrow stated after the game the injury will not cause him to miss any games, "unless it somehow gets worse." Assuming that's indeed the case, Burrow will be under center aiming to help the Bengals get over this disastrous home loss in a Week 14 interconference showdown against the visiting 49ers.

Mills completed six of 14 passes for 49 yards in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Colts.

Mills replaced teammate Tyrod Taylor late in the third quarter after he injured his wrist. Although coach David Culley said after the game that Taylor could have returned, he also noted concern over Taylor's ability to grip the ball, ultimately allowing Mills to finish the contest. In his relief role, Mills struggled to get anything going, but his numbers were rather similar to Taylor's prior to exiting. Given Taylor's injury, it'll be worthwhile to monitor his practice involvement this week, as Mills would stand to benefit should he be limited in advance of next Sunday's matchup versus the Seahawks.

Head coach Matt Nagy said Dalton injured his non-throwing hand in the Bears' 33-22 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday, Adam Hoge of NBCSChicago reports.

Dalton completed 26 of 41 passes for 229 yards with two touchdowns and four interceptions while gaining six yards and two rushing attempts. He was under heavy pressure all day while the Cardinals did a solid job of taking top target Darnell Mooney away. Of his four interceptions, two came on passes that were misplayed by his receivers, though Dalton salvaged his fantasy day with a pair of scoring passes in the second half after the Bears fell behind by 17 points. If his hand injury isn't significant, he'll continue to be a marginal option in leagues that start two quarterbacks until Justin Fields (ribs) returns to the lineup.

Taylor (wrist) completed five of his 13 passing attempts for 45 yards and an interception and ran three times for 15 yards prior to being replaced by Davis Mills in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Colts.

Per Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official site, Taylor suffered a possible hyperextended wrist in the contest. While coach David Culley noted afterward that the veteran QB probably could have returned, there was some concern that the issue could affect Taylor's ability to grip the ball. With that in mind, consider him day-to-day heading into the team's preparations for next weekend's game against the Seahawks.
