Murray completed 27 of 36 pass attempts for 406 yards, three touchdowns and one interception while carrying eight times for 29 yards and another touchdown in Sunday's 33-26 win over the Eagles.

Murray completed 75 percent of his passes and averaged a stellar 11.3 yards per attempt as he notched a new career high in yardage. He completed five passes of 25 yards or longer and connected with DeAndre Hopkins for the decisive 20-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Murray, who averaged just 195.7 yards per game over the last three while struggling through a shoulder issue, has seemingly gotten back on track. He will look to build on this effort next Saturday against the 49ers.

Mahomes completed 26 of 47 passes for 254 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 32-29 win over the Saints. He also rushed for 37 yards on seven carries.

His passing yardage total was below his usual standards, and he committed two fumbles (losing one) while facing consistent pressure from the New Orleans pass rush, but Mahomes still picked his spots and threw at least three TDs for the sixth time this season. He'll take a scintillating 36:5 TD:INT into Week 16's meeting with a Falcons secondary that just gave up 390 yards to Tom Brady.

Goff completed 22 of 34 passes for 209 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Jets.

After leading the Rams to only three points in the first half, Goff found more success after the break, but he ran out of time to complete the comeback attempt. The fifth-year QB has failed to throw for at least 210 yards in three of the last four games, managing a 4:4 TD:INT over that stretch, and Goff will need to shake out of his slump in a Week 16 road clash with the Seahawks that will likely decide the winner of the NFC West.

Darnold completed 22 of 31 passes for 207 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 upset of the Rams. He added 18 rushing yards on five carries.

The former USC Trojan put together a workmanlike performance in his return to Los Angeles, but Darnold avoided making mistakes against a tough Rams defense and did just enough to get the Jets their first win of the season -- and hurt the team's chances of being able to draft Trevor Lawrence to replace him in the process. It was the first time Darnold had topped 200 passing yards since Week 4, giving him some glimmer of momentum heading into Week 16's home tilt against the Browns.

McCoy will start for an unavailable Daniel Jones (ankle/hamstring) in Sunday's contest versus the Browns, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Even if Jones was active, the Giants were expecting to go with McCoy under center. In his sole start for Jones back in Week 13 at Seattle, McCoy completed 13 of 22 passes for 105 yards, one touchdown and one interception in a 17-12 upset win.

Jones (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Browns, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

For the second time in three games, Jones will take a seat due to the combination of a right hamstring injury from Week 12 and a sprained left ankle from last Sunday versus the Cardinals. In his stead, Colt McCoy will direct the Giants offense, with Clayton Thorson serving as the backup quarterback. Jones' next chance to suit up comes next Sunday at Baltimore.

Watson completed 33 of 41 pass attempts for 373 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 15 against the Colts. He added 25 yards as a rusher.

The Texans were able to get very little going on the ground, leaving nearly the entire offensive burden on Watson's shoulders. He delivered nonetheless, finding Chad Hansen and Keke Coutee for touchdowns of 38 and nine yards, respectively. Even while lacking his top receiver for the last three games, Watson has topped 300 yards twice. He faces an exploitable Bengals defense in Week 16 and could be in line for another big effort.

Stafford completed 22 of 32 pass attempts for 252 yards and one touchdown, adding 12 rushing yards on a pair of carries during Sunday's 46-25 loss to Tennessee.

The veteran signal-caller proved capable of overcoming rib and thumb injuries to notch his 14th start of 2020, but he was held under 255 passing yards for the seventh time despite a favorable matchup against the Titans. A 23:9 TD:INT is relatively efficient from Stafford, but his upside is capped by the fact that he has eight different performances of one or fewer passing TDs this season. Stafford's Week 16 opponent, Tampa Bay, conceded 356 passing yards and three passing scores to Atlanta's Matt Ryan on Sunday, providing optimism for a statistical resurgence.

Tannehill completed 21 of his 27 pass attempts for 273 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 15 against the Lions. He added three rushes for 21 yards and two more scores.

Tannehill had the Titans' offense moving with ease for the entire game, and he did his best Derrick Henry impression with two goal-line touchdown rushes. He also did plenty of damage with his arm, throwing for three touchdowns for the second time in his last three games. Tannehill's longest completion of the day came midway through the first quarter when he connected with Corey Davis for a 75-yard touchdown deep down the left sideline. He and the Titans will draw a stiffer test in Week 16 against the Packers.

Mullens appeared to suffer an elbow injury late Sunday's 41-33 loss to the Cowboys, leading to his exit from the contest, according to Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area.

Mullens completed 21 of 36 attempts for 219 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions before suffering the injury on the first play of his team's final drive, which finished in a Hail Mary touchdown thrown by C.J. Beathard. He will likely undergo testing to determine the severity of the injury in the coming hours, but with the 49ers' record now sitting at 5-9, it wouldn't be surprising if Beathard ends up starting next Saturday's matchup with the Cardinals.
