Dalton completed 16 of 23 pass attempts for 185 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 14 against the Bengals.

Dalton returned to Cincinnati to face his former team and took advantage of a mistake-prone performance by the Bengals. He tallied multiple touchdowns for the third time in his last four starts, connecting with Amari Cooper and Tony Pollard for 11 and seven-yard touchdown tosses, respectively. After the Cowboys jumped out to a multiple-score lead in the second quarter, Dalton was asked to take to the air only 23 times while the team accumulated 25 rushing attempts. Dalton may need to take to the air more in Week 15 against San Francisco.

Rodgers completed 26 of 33 pass attempts for 290 yards and three touchdowns, adding six carries for 13 yards and a rushing TD during Sunday's 31-24 win against the Lions.

After Detroit managed to keep the game tied through two quarters, Rodgers led the Packers to a combined 17 points over Green Bay's first three drives of the second half. In doing so, the eight-time Pro Bowler helped his team secure a second consecutive NFC North crown. Rodgers also currently has Green Bay situated as the conference's top seed, and it's hard to argue his 39:4 TD:INT isn't of MVP level. The 10-3 Packers prepare to host the sliding Panthers on Saturday night.

Interim coach Darrell Bevell said after Sunday's loss to the Packers that Stafford (ribs) will be getting X-rays on the rib injury that knocked him out of the game in the fourth quarter, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

The results of the X-rays should help determine whether Stafford will be available to play against the Titans in Week 15. If Stafford's unable to suit up in that one, Chase Daniel would be in line to start under center for Detroit. The 5-8 Lions have little reason to rush their starting quarterback's return with the playoffs almost certainly out of reach.

Herbert completed 36 of 44 attempts for 243 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Falcons.

An injury to Mike Williams (back) early in the contest forced the Chargers to turn their offense into a dink and dunk system to little success as Austin Ekeler and Keenan Allen absorbed 20 targets between the two players. Herbert appeared to throw a back-breaking interception with 53 seconds left in the contest and the Chargers near the midfield mark, but his defense came up with a pick just three plays later to set up the rookie's first game-winning drive of his career. Despite a bit of an underwhelming performance considering the matchup, Herbert should have plenty of success next week against a dismal Raiders pass defense.

Carr connected on 31 of 45 attempts for 316 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions Sunday against the Colts. He also carried three times for 12 yards and a touchdown in the 44-27 loss.

Carr completed an impressive 69 percent of his passes and delivered his third-best yardage total of the season against an excellent Colts defense. He connected on touchdown passes to Foster Moreau and Nelson Agholor before adding a rushing score of his own, but his interception before halftime led to a field goal, and his pick-six in the fourth quarter all but guaranteed his team the loss. This was Carr's first game this season with multiple interceptions. He'll look to bounce back Thursday against a Chargers defense that has been burned by lesser passers this season.

Minshew completed 18 of 31 pass attempts for 178 yards and one touchdown in Week 14 against the Titans. He added two rushes for 22 yards.

Minshew entered the game in relief of Mike Glennon, who was benched for poor performance. Minshew played nearly the entire second half and led the Jaguars to their only touchdown of the game. However, as has been typical, Minshew didn't look to push down the field, with his longest completion of the day going for 22 yards. It remains unclear whether Minshew or Glennon will be under center in Week 15 when the Jaguars take on the Ravens.

Stafford (ribs) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Packers.

Stafford went to the locker room after taking a big hit to the ribs in the fourth quarter. He quickly reemerged and tried to take some warm-up throws but didn't look comfortable, paving the way for backup Chase Daniel to enter the game. Prior to his exit, Stafford completed 24 of 34 passes for 244 yards and a touchdown.

Tannehill completed 19 of 24 pass attempts for 212 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 14 against the Jaguars.

Derrick Henry dominated the Jaguars on the ground, limiting Tannehill's need to take to the air. However, Tannehill made the most of his opportunities by connecting with A.J. Brown for a number of big plays. Most notable was a 37-yard touchdown toss to cap the team's first offensive possession. Tannehill connected with Geoff Swaim for five yards out to tally his second trip to the end zone. The Titans should have to take to air more in Week 15 against the Lions, giving Tannehill more chance to rack up yards and touchdowns.

Bridgewater completed 30 of 40 pass attempts for 283 yards, adding three carries for 31 rushing yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 32-27 loss to the Broncos.

The 28-year-old's fantasy value has been boosted by three rushing scores over his past four outings, but he remains less than explosive as a thrower, with zero outings of three-plus passing TDs all season. Worse yet for his outlook within the organization, Carolina has dropped seven consecutive Bridgewater starts after kicking off the year 3-2. The sliding Panthers will now aim to recalibrate on a short week before traveling to Green Bay to take on the Packers' 12th-ranked pass defense Saturday night.

Lock completed 21 of 27 pass attempts for 280 yards and four touchdowns, adding four yards over six carries while losing a fumble during Sunday's 32-27 win against Carolina.

Lock's second-quarter fumble led to a Panthers TD two plays later, but he otherwise enjoyed his most impressive statistical outing of 2020. Not once all season entering Sunday had the sophomore signal-caller thrown multiple TDs without committing an interception, while 280 passing yards marked Lock's second-greatest total of the year. His 149.5 passer rating is the third-highest single-game figure in franchise history behind only Peyton Manning (rating of 157.2 in 2014) and John Elway (156.0 rating in 1995), per Patrick Smyth of the Broncos' official site. With Carson Wentz being the only player to have thrown more interceptions than Lock entering Week 14, an improvement in the giveaway category is encouraging for the second-year pro. He now prepares to face Buffalo on a short week, with the Broncos hosting the Bills on Saturday at 4:30 PM EST.
