Rodgers completed 20 of 33 pass attempts for 104 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-8 loss to San Francisco.

The 49ers' defensive line overwhelmed the Packers' front, constantly pressuring Rodgers and forcing the quarterback to resort to dump-off passes or run the risk of being sacked (five sacks). The elite arm picked up midseason steam against some soft opponents, but has come back down to earth against three tough pass defenses (166.0 passing yards and two total touchdowns over the last three weeks). Rodgers' fantasy owners will be pleased to see two soft opponents (New York Giants and Washington Redskins) on tap for Weeks 13 and 14 respectively.

Prescott completed 19 of 33 passes for 212 yards and an interception in Sunday's 13-9 loss to the Patriots.

Between the rain and New England's stifling defense, Prescott came away with his worst performance of the season as the Dallas offense failed to score a touchdown for the first time all year. The fourth-year QB will continue his toughest stretch of the season when the Cowboys host the Bills in Week 13.

Tannehill connected on 14 of his 18 pass attempts for 259 yards and two touchdowns in the team's Week 12 win over the Jaguars. He also added seven carries for 40 yards and another pair of scores.

Tannehill found the end zone on a 21-yard rush to put the Titans up 7-0, hurdling through a pair of defenders at the goal line. While that was the team's only score of the first half, Tannehill led the offense to five touchdowns in the first six offensive possessions of the final two quarters. While Derrick Henry did plenty of the work, Tannehill also contributed a substantial amount. The highlight came on a touchdown pass to A.J. Brown, in which Tannehill hit the rookie wideout on a slant across the middle, which Brown then turned upfield for a 65-yard score. Tannehill also capped the scoring with a three-yard rushing touchdown -- his second of the game -- to put the Titans up 42-17. Tannehill should have another opportunity to put forward a strong showing in Week 13 against the Colts.

Allen completed 18 of 25 passes for 82 yards and an interception during Sunday's 20-3 loss in Buffalo. He added eight yards on two carries.

Those stats are not a typo as Allen completed just three of his 14 attempts in the second half for a total of seven yards. Facing a stingy Buffalo defense and unable to cut through the wind with his middling arm, Allen did not complete a pass on Denver's final five drives of the game. Still, the game was within reach for much of the game and a Broncos interception set Allen up in Buffalo territory late in the second quarter. He promptly had a miscommunication with Courtland Sutton and sailed an interception. Allen's solid, winning effort against the Browns feels like a season ago and the clock figures to start on potentially playing rookie Drew Lock sooner than later.

Darnold completed 20 of 29 passes for 315 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Raiders. He also rushed four times for 16 yards and a touchdown.

For the second time in three games, Darnold kept the ball on an option play near the goal line for a rushing score, with this one coming from four yards out in the second quarter. His first pass of the second half went 69 yards to Braxton Berrios, and Darnold tossed a one-yard touchdown to Ryan Griffin on the next play before adding another one-yard touchdown to Robby Anderson to cap the following drive. With 608 yards and a 6:1 TD:INT through the air plus a rushing score in the past two weeks, Darnold has worked his way onto the Week 13 QB1 radar given his juicy matchup against the 0-11 Bengals.

Driskel completed 20 of 33 passes for 207 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions during Sunday's 19-16 loss to Washington. He added 63 yards on the ground on nine carries.

Driskel showed off some of his athleticism during Sunday's sloppy contest, but he ultimately helped fuel Washington's comeback with a costly interception with about a minute remaining and the Lions driving for the win. Driskel shot downfield to Marvin Jones was jumped by cornerback Quinton Dunbar and set up a short field for a game-winning Washington field goal. Driskel threw his third interception of the game on the following drive, with the Lions desperate to pull off a miracle comeback. Driskel has filled in admirably for Matthew Stafford (back), especially when using his legs, but he's come up short in all three of his starts. Thursday brings a Thanksgiving matchup against the Bears, against whom Driskel accounted for 306 total yards, a passing touchdown and an interception in Week 9.

Allen completed 23 of 36 passes for 256 yards and three touchdowns while adding a nine-yard rush in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Saints.

Allen threw touchdowns of 51 and two yards to D.J. Moore, sandwiching a one-yard touchdown pass to Christian McCaffrey in between those scores. He did well to lead his team out of 14-0 and 31-18 holes, actually tying the score at 31-31 before the Saints won it with a field goal as time expired. This was a nice bounce-back performance from Allen after his forgettable zero-touchdown, four-interception outing against Atlanta in the previous game, and he should build on this effort in Week 13 against the Redskins.

Jones completed 21 of 36 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Bears. He also rushed twice for 27 yards and lost a fumble.

After neither team scored any points in the first quarter, Jones finally got the Giants on the board with a three-yard touchdown to Kaden Smith halfway through the second quarter -- the first score of the rookie tight end's career. Jones went quiet after that, but he found Golden Tate for a 23-yard touchdown to give his team hope with under five minutes remaining. The rookie quarterback also lost a fumble for a fifth consecutive game in the third quarter, setting Chicago up at New York's three-yard line. Jones suffered a cut on his throwing hand and was noticeably bleeding, though he was able to finish the game, so the injury is unlikely to affect him moving forward.

Trubisky completed 25 of 41 passes for 278 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions while adding 18 rushing yards and another touchdown in Chicago's 19-14 win over the Giants on Sunday.

For the third game in a row, Trubisky came out ice cold for the entire first half, but he turned things around by leaning heavily upon Allen Robinson in the second half to carve out a solid fantasy performance. This was the second time in three games in which he's accounted for multiple touchdowns, though he'll continue to be a low-upside option in leagues that start two quarterbacks.

Mayfield completed 24 of 34 pass attempts for 327 yards, three touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 41-24 win over the Dolphins.

Mayfield completed an impressive 71 percent of his throws while averaging 9.6 yards per attempt. He completed a pair of short touchdown passes to Jarvis Landry sandwiched around a 35-yard strike to Odell Beckham Jr. Mayfield now has eight total touchdowns over the last three games while throwing just one interception during that span. He's topped the 300-yard mark three times this season, equalling his total from last year, and he'll look to keep it rolling next Sunday against the Steelers.
