  • Lions' Matthew Stafford: Leads fourth-quarter comeback

    Stafford completed 27 of 42 pass attempts for 402 yards, throwing three touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 34-30 win against the Bears.

    Stafford led the 31st fourth-quarter comeback of his 12-year NFL career Sunday, spearheading a 14-0 run over the final 11 minutes of regulation to get Detroit a win in Darrell Bevell's debut as interim coach. The 32-year-old has been a hit-or-miss fantasy asset this season despite possessing four different games with three passing scores. Two of his four preceding appearances entering Week 13 consisted of one or fewer passing TDs and under 215 passing yards. Next, he'll see Green Bay's 15th-ranked pass defense, having thrown for 244 yards, two touchdowns and one pick the last time the NFC North rivals met Week 2.

  • Derek Carr QB | NO

    Raiders' Derek Carr: Carves up Jets in wild win

    Carr completed 28 of 47 passes for 381 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Jets. He added five yards and a touchdown on two rushing attempts.

    Carr was intercepted on Vegas' first drive but bounced back with touchdowns of nine and 38 yards to Darren Waller to take a 17-13 lead into the locker room. The quarterback took matters into his own hands with a two-yard rushing score for a 24-13 lead in the third quarter, but the Jets took over from there and had Vegas on the ropes until Carr dropped in the game-winning 46-yard touchdown to Henry Ruggs with five seconds left. Carr rewarded fantasy managers who looked his way against the winless Jets, but he faces a much tougher test with the Colts coming to town in Week 14.

  • Ryan Tannehill QB | TEN

    Titans' Ryan Tannehill: Records season-best yardage

    Tannehill completed 29 of 45 pass attempts for 389 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Week 13 against the Browns.

    The Titans were down 38-7 at halftime, leading to 31 second-half pass attempts for Tannehill. He took advantage of the rare volume by topping 375 yards for the second time since taking over as the team's quarterback in 2019. Two of Tannehill's touchdowns ended up on the ledger of MyCole Pruitt, the first of which was a 22-yard toss down the seam and the second an end-zone recovery of an A.J. Brown fumble. While Tannehill has largely been efficient this season, he isn't likely to throw 45 passes in Week 14 against the Jaguars.

  • Kirk Cousins QB | LV

    Vikings' Kirk Cousins: Three TDs after slow start

    Cousins completed 28 of 43 passes for 305 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Jaguars. He added 12 yards on three carries and lost a fumble.

    Cousins avoided a first-half shutout with a three-yard touchdown to Adam Thielen 2:50 before halftime. He threw a pick-six on the first play of the second half but rebounded on the ensuing drive, which Cousins capped with a 12-yard score to C.J. Ham. Cousins' Jekyll-and-Hyde performance continued on the next two drives, which ended with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Justin Jefferson followed by his fumble on a bad exchange with running back Dalvin Cook on Jacksonville's one-yard line. While the quarterback's mistakes gave Jacksonville a chance, Minnesota's defense stepped up with a clutch interception in overtime to seal the win. Cousins and the Vikings will continue their quest to work back into the playoff picture against the Buccaneers in Week 14.

  • Browns' Baker Mayfield: Racks up four touchdowns

    Mayfield completed 25 of 33 passes for 334 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 13 against the Titans.

    Mayfield led the Browns to a touchdown on five of their first six offensive possessions, capping four of them with a touchdown toss. The most explosive of the scores was a 75-yard connection with Donovan Peoples-Jones deep down the right sideline, though he also found Jarvis Landry and Rashard Higgins for two and 17- yard touchdowns, respectively. Also important has been Mayfield's ability to avoid mistakes, as he has now gone five consecutive games and 156 pass attempts without throwing an interception. He'll look to keep his positive play going in Week 14 in a tough matchup against the Ravens.

  • Tua Tagovailoa QB | ATL

    Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Career-high yardage tally in return

    Tagovailoa (thumb) completed 26 of 39 passes for 296 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in the Dolphins' 19-7 win over the Bengals on Sunday. He also rushed three times for three yards.

    The rookie was masterful in his return from a one-game absence, refraining from any turnovers and avoiding being sacked while connecting with eight different pass catchers on the afternoon. Tagovailoa bestowed the most attention on tight end Mike Gesicki, who also brought in the signal-caller's one touchdown pass of the day in the third quarter. Tagovailoa did not appear to have any accuracy issues as a result of the thumb injury that sidelined him Week 12, and he now boasts a career-opening five-start interception-less streak heading into a Week 14 home showdown against Patrick Mahomes and the high-powered Chiefs, a game in which the fifth overall pick figures to have to do plenty of passing.

  • Deshaun Watson QB | CLE

    Texans' Deshaun Watson: Makes critical errors in loss

    Watson completed 26 of 38 pass attempts for 341 yards and one interception while carrying seven times for 38 yards along with a touchdown during Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Colts.

    While Watson threw his first interception in seven games and took a sack for a safety, his largest error came when he fumbled the snap deep in Colts territory in the final moments with a chance to win the game. He was quite adept as a passer, completing 68 percent of his attempts en route to his third-best yardage output of the season, but he finished without a touchdown pass for the first time on the campaign. Watson piled up yardage without the suspended Will Fuller and should be able to do so again next Sunday despite another tough matchup against the Bears.

  • Mitch Trubisky QB | TEN

    Bears' Mitchell Trubisky: Efficient in loss

    Trubisky completed 26 of 34 passes for 267 yards and a touchdown in Chicago's 34-30 loss to the Lions on Sunday. He also rushed three times for six yards and lost a fumble.

    Trubisky led the Bears to 23 points in the first half, but all three of the team's touchdowns came on the ground. The fourth-year signal-caller didn't fire a touchdown pass until the fourth quarter in a game that the Bears controlled until he lost a crucial fumble in the last two minutes of the contest, which ultimately cost them the game. Should he retain the starting job in the fantasy playoffs, he'll have a trio of favorable matchups, giving him a chance to serve as a top-24 option.

  • Sam Darnold QB | SEA

    Jets' Sam Darnold: Three total TDs in heartbreaking L

    Darnold completed 14 of 23 passes for 186 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Raiders. He added three carries for 26 yards and a touchdown, lost two fumbles and threw a two-point conversion.

    Darnold threw a pair of first-half touchdowns to Jamison Crowder but also turned it over three times, with an interception and two fumbles. He took better care of the ball in the second half and pulled New York within three with a physical four-yard rushing touchdown followed by a two-point conversion to Denzel Mims. His first attempt at the two-point try was intercepted, but Darnold made the most of a second chance provided by a flag on the defense. Ty Johnson's one-yard rushing score on the ensuing possession put New York up by four in the fourth quarter, but the Jets went 3-and-out with a chance to run out the clock and allowed a 46-yard touchdown to Henry Ruggs with five seconds left to fall to 0-12. Darnold's capable of the occasional big play with his legs but still has a dreadful 5:9 TD:INT heading into a Week 14 trip to Seattle, as this was his first multi-touchdown passing performance of the season.

  • Brandon Allen QB | NYG

    Bengals' Brandon Allen: Leaves Sunday's game

    Allen was forced out of Sunday's game against the Dolphins with a chest injury.

    Prior to his exit, Allen completed 11 of 19 pass attempts for 153 yards, with one TD and a pick. He was replaced at QB by Ryan Finley.
