Allen completed 25 of 41 pass attempts for 277 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions Sunday against the Seahawks. He also gained 25 yards on five carries in the 30-24 loss.

Allen's continued turnover problems led to speculation throughout the week that he could be removed from his starting role, but he was given another opportunity against Seattle's beatable pass defense. His issues continued, however, as he threw one interception in the first half before turning the ball over on back-to-back drives in the second half. Allen did complete a late touchdown pass to Curtis Samuel, but it was too little too late. The rookie now has 10 interceptions in five starts this season, and it remains to be seen if the team will make a change ahead of next Sunday's game against the Colts.

Lock completed 18 of 40 passes for 208 yards and an interception during Sunday's 23-3 loss in Kansas City. He added three yards on two carries.

Lock's return to Missouri wasn't particularly welcoming as snow covered the field and the Chiefs' pass rush routinely got to the rookie passer before he was able to find an open target. The Missouri product had a nice 43-yard pass to fellow rookie Noah Fant to convert a second-quarter fourth-and-short, but Denver's receivers were otherwise unable to get open downfield before Lock was swarmed. That pressure led to Lock throwing a very ill-advised cross-field interception in the red zone in the third quarter. Lock has been good for a boneheaded play or two in each of his first three starts, but he's also shown flashes of promise in each. He probably isn't worth placing on your radar yet, but he does get a much better matchup Sunday at home against the Lions.

Rodgers completed 16 of 33 pass attempts for 203 yards and one touchdown Sunday against the Bears. He also gained 23 yards on three carries in the 21-13 win.

Rodgers struggled mightily as he completed less than half his passes and averaged 6.2 yards per attempt. He connected early and often with Davante Adams, striking gold on a 29-yard touchdown connection in the first quarter, but the veteran quarterback played the role of game manager for much of the afternoon. This poor effort comes on the heels of a similar performance last week, and Rodgers has now failed to top the 250-yard mark in six straight games. The Vikings have been vulnerable in the secondary of late, so Rodgers could have a chance to bounce back in next Monday's matchup.

Dalton completed 17 of 31 passes for 151 yards, a touchdown and four interceptions during Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Patriots.

Dalton kept pace with the Patriots early in the first quarter, tossing a quick eight-yard strike to Cethan Carter to respond to New England's game-opening touchdown. Dalton then led a field-goal drive that gave Cincinnati a brief lead. It was downhill from there as he proceeded to throw three interceptions during his first four drives of the second half and four overall, including a grisly 64-yard pick six to Stephon Gilmore. The veteran passer has just two touchdowns and five interceptions in three-games since returning to the starting lineup. Next week's matchup against the Dolphins will have draft-position implications that may help determine the heir apparent to Dalton in Cincinnati.

Blough completed 24 of 43 passes for 260 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in the Lions 38-17 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. He also rushed five times for 19 yards and committed a fumble but managed to recover it.

The rookie did the best he could under the circumstances, as he was playing without Marvin Jones (IR, ankle) in the receiving corps and without the benefit of Bo Scarbrough (ribs) in the backfield to help keep the defense honest. Blough unsurprisingly relied heavily on Danny Amendola, with whom he connected on eight occasions for 102 yards. Blough's ability to produce fantasy-friendly production during what will be championship weekend in many leagues will be compromised by his unfriendly Week 16 road matchup versus the Broncos.

Winston (thumb) completed 28 of 42 passes for 458 yards with four touchdowns and one interception in the Buccaneers' 38-17 win over the Lions on Sunday. He also rushed twice for four yards.

Winston continued to defy the odds and rewrite personal and league records Sunday, navigating what is officially a fractured thumb to eclipse the season-high 456 yards he compiled just a week ago versus the Colts and becoming the first player in NFL history to throw for more than 450 yards in consecutive games. It was also Winston's second straight four-touchdown effort, and his third overall this season. Making the fifth-year quarterback's numbers all the more impressive was the fact they were accomplished without the services of Mike Evans (hamstring) and, for part of the contest, Chris Godwin (hamstring), who both may be out of action for a Week 16 Saturday interconference matchup versus the Texans.

Tannehill completed 22 of 36 pass attempts for 279 yards, while throwing two touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 24-21 loss to Houston. He also logged 10 yards and a rushing touchdown on three carries.

Tennessee fell into a 14-0 deficit before halftime, but Tannehill orchestrated a furious comeback for the Titans, leading back-to-back touchdown drives to open up the third quarter and knot the score up at 14-14. The ultimate 24-21 defeat is damaging to Tennesee's playoff hopes, but Tannehill continued to deliver for fantasy GMs by cashing in with multiple TDs for the eighth consecutive outing. By compiling 21 second-half points, Tennessee also tied the 1996-97 Packers for second all-time in NFL history with six consecutive outings of 20-plus second-half points. In addition to the proficient scoring production, Tannehill has accounted for 285.3 scrimmage yards per game across eight starts this season. His upside remains high for Week 16, taking on a New Orleans defense that ranks bottom 10 in the NFL with 1.8 passing TDs allowed per game.

Watson completed 19 of 27 attempts for 243 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Texans' 24-21 win over the Titans on Sunday. He also rushed seven times for 32 yards and committed one fumble, which was recovered.

Despite the mistakes, Watson turned in an admirable performance in what was a critical late-season road divisional matchup. The third-year quarterback's two touchdown passes somewhat curiously went to Kenny Stills, who was back in the No. 3 receiver role with Will Fuller back from a hamstring injury. Watson has multiple scoring tosses in three of his last four games, the first time he's had such a stretch this season. He now has matched last season's 26:9 TD:INT and will look to keep the Texans marching toward a possible division title in a Week 16 interconference showdown with the Buccaneers on Saturday.

Trubisky completed 29 of 53 passes for 348 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions while adding 29 yards on four carries in Chicago's 21-13 loss to Green Bay on Sunday.

Trubisky got off to a slow start, but with the Bears falling behind by double digits early in the second half, he was forced to throw on nearly every down, which allowed him to pad his stats while leaning heavily upon Allen Robinson and Anthony Miller, who each went over 100 yards. Although he came into this contest fresh off a pair of consecutive 300-yard performances, he's been held to one or fewer touchdowns in 11 of 13 starts, and he'll be a risky fantasy option in Week 16 in a home meeting against the Chiefs.

Mahomes completed 27 of 34 passes for 340 yards, two touchdowns and an interception during Sunday's 23-3 win over Denver. He added 11 yards on three carries.

Sunday's conditions were wet and sloppy as snow moved through Arrowhead Stadium throughout the game. Coupled with a dinged-up hand, Mahomes could have been excused if he put together a clunker against the Broncos, but he put aside any such notions early with a 41-yard dart for a touchdown to Tyreek Hill to cap the Chiefs' opening drive. The junior passer routinely bought time during the game and found his weapons over the middle. He actually put together his second-best completion percentage of the season despite the muck. Next up is a Bears defense that entered the week eighth-best in the league in opponent passer rating at 86.1.
