Tagovailoa completed 28 of 48 passes for 316 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Chiefs. He added 24 yards and a touchdown on six rushing attempts.

Tagovailoa tossed a seven-yard touchdown to Mike Gesicki in the first quarter but also threw his first career interception on a deep ball late in the first half to take a 14-10 deficit into the locker room. Tua added a second touchdown to Gesicki from 29 yards out before the tight end left with a shoulder injury, then scored his first career rushing touchdown from one yard out to make it a six-point game in the final minutes. The rookie fifth overall pick is 4-2 as Miami's starter heading into a Week 15 matchup with the Patriots, but he had primarily been a game manager for a Dolphins team that relies on its defense to win games before tossing away the training wheels in this one. Tua's TD:INT through those six starts sits at 9:1.

Cousins completed 24 of 37 passes for 225 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in the Vikings' 26-14 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also gained 41 yards on five rushes, threw a two-point conversion pass and committed two fumbles, losing one.

Cousins had a busy afternoon with the game progressively getting away from the Vikings, but even with a relatively elevated 37 attempts, he had a difficult time consistently connecting with top targets Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson. Part of the reason was a relentless Buccaneers pass rush, which dropped Cousins on six occasions and hit him 12 times overall. The veteran signal-caller connected with tight end Irv Smith for his one scoring toss from 14 yards out late in the third quarter, but he saw a streak of five games with multiple touchdown passes snapped. Cousins will look to bounce back in a tough matchup against the division-rival Bears in a Week 15 battle.

Jones completed 11 of 21 passes for 127 yards without a touchdown or interception in Sunday's 26-7 loss to Arizona. He also fumbled three times, losing one.

Jones hadn't turned the ball over in his previous three games played, but that streak quickly came to an end on New York's opening drive, as the second-year quarterback's fumbling issues reared their head again on a sack near midfield. Jones set up Dion Lewis' one-yard rushing touchdown with a 39-yard pass to Golden Tate in the third quarter, but he failed to lead the Giants to any other points in his return following a one-game absence due to a hamstring injury. The normally mobile quarterback didn't record a rushing attempt and sat out New York's final drive with the game out of reach, suggesting his hamstring is nowhere near 100 percent. New York's still in the hunt for a playoff spot in the dreadful NFC East and will have a decision to make between a depleted Jones and backup Colt McCoy in Week 15 against the Browns.

Mahomes completed 24 of 34 passes for 393 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in Sunday's 33-27 win over the Dolphins. He added nine yards on five rushing attempts.

Mahomes was picked off on a tipped screen pass attempt to end Kansas City's opening drive, then took a 30-yard sack on third down to cap the next possession before being intercepted again on the Chiefs' third drive. Despite the slow start, he still finished the first half with 172 yards and a touchdown, which was scored by Travis Kelce from six yards out to give the Chiefs a 14-10 halftime lead. Mahomes hit Tyreek Hill on a 44-yard deep ball to stretch Kansas City's lead on the first possession of the second half and ultimately did enough to lead his team to victory in an uncharacteristically error-filled performance. The star quarterback will need to clean up the turnovers in Week 15, as the Chiefs face a much tougher road test in New Orleans.

Trubisky completed 24 of 33 passes for 267 yards and three touchdowns while adding four rushes for 23 yards in the Bears' 36-7 victory over the Texans on Sunday.

Trubisky threw all three of his touchdown passes in the second quarter, and once the game was out of hand, he settled into game-manager mode, having already provided fantasy managers with a fruitful performance. He's thrown for at least 242 yards in each of his last three games while accounting for seven touchdowns during that span, and with a favorable schedule over the next two weeks, he should be considered a top-20 quarterback option.

Watson completed 21 of 30 passes for 219 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Texans' 36-7 loss to the Bears on Sunday. He also rushed seven times for 38 yards.

With the Pro Bowl quarterback down another weapon in Brandin Cooks (neck/foot), Watson found offensive continuity particularly difficult to come by against a Bears defense that was able to hone in on a narrower pool of potential targets. Watson didn't connect with any pass catcher for more than Chad Hansen's 56 yards, and the fact running back Duke Johnson had the second-most receiving yards (53) for Houston on the afternoon was a testament on how effective Chicago was in forcing short passes throughout the contest. Watson also took six sacks and was hit 11 times overall, even exiting the game for a play late in the third quarter after being taken down to the ground hard by Roquan Smith. The Clemson product would return to start the next drive just over a minute later, however, and finished the contest without further issues. Watson and his teammates will look to bounce back in a Week 15 road matchup against the division-rival Colts.

Murray completed 24 of 35 passes for 244 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Giants. He added 47 yards on 13 rushing attempts.

Arizona's offense has struggled near the goal line recently, and those issues continued in this game, as Murray capped the team's opening drive with a fourth-down incompletion from New York's one-yard line. He finally guided the offense across the goal line on Arizona's fourth red-zone possession of the first half, finding Dan Arnold in the back of the end zone with a rainbow from seven yards out. New York's defense did a good job of limiting Murray's running lanes, but it was still encouraging to see him come within one rushing attempt of his season high after logging only five in each of the previous three games. The dual-threat quarterback has a 23:10 TD:INT to go with 10 rushing scores heading into a Week 15 home date with the Eagles.

Allen was forced out of Sunday's game against the Cowboys with a right leg injury.

Ryan Finley is expected to finish the game under center for the Bengals. Allen completed 27 of 36 passes for 217 yards and a touchdown before exiting the game. He also ran for 12 yards on four carries.

Stafford (thumb) is listed as active Sunday against the Packers.

Stafford's practice reps have been managed since he injured his right thumb Week 10 against Washington. Including that contest, he's completed 64.7 percent of his passes for 1,151 yards, seven touchdowns and two interceptions over the past four games. Stafford will aim to keep up the pace versus a Green Bay defense that has allowed 7.4 yards per attempt (11th worst) and 21 TD passes (13th most) to quarterbacks this season.

Jones (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday versus the Cardinals, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Jones was unable to do too much on-field work prior to sitting out Week 13, the result of a right hamstring injury. When the Giants reconvened for practice Wednesday, he proceeded to put together back-to-back limited listings before wrapping up the week with a full session. Still, the team decided to wait until it was required to make a decision on his availability. That said, he may cede some snaps to backup Colt McCoy, per Raanan, so Jones is difficult to trust for fantasy purposes.
