Driskel completed 18 of 27 attempts for 170 yards and one touchdown, adding two rushes for 12 yards during Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Chargers.

Driskel posted an impressive completion rate of 66.7 percent against the Chargers' ultra-talented defense, but only two of his 18 completions yielded 15 or more yards. The 2016 sixth-round pick has failed to stand out in his first foray as a starting quarterback in the NFL, posting QBRs of 18.4 and 36.5 against the Chargers and Broncos, respectively. His offensive line hasn't done him any favors by surrendering seven sacks over his first two career starts, but Driskel has had trouble pushing the ball downfield even when provided ample time, averaging a stagnant 6.35 yards per attempt. Week 15 presents a matchup against an Oakland defense that has struggled mightily in pressuring opposing passers this year, collecting just 11 sacks (31st-ranked Miami has twice as many).

Prescott completed 42 of 54 pass attempts for 455 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 29-23 overtime win over the Eagles.

Prescott had been fairly dormant through the majority of three quarters, but his arm caught fire in the fourth and overtime periods, resulting in several career-best figures. The 25-year-old normally produces stat lines resembling a game manager, but he tore the top off a vulnerable Eagles secondary. The addition of Amari Cooper at the trade deadline has certainly improved Prescott's play. The signal caller is averaging 285.7 passing yards in six games with his new weapon, compared to 202.4 yards per game over the previous seven contests. Fantasy owners shouldn't expect many more 400-yard performances, especially considering Prescott hadn't reached the 300-yard mark once prior to Sunday's explosion. Still, he should have a decent floor against a middle-of-the-pack Colts secondary in Week 15.

Carr completed 25 of 34 passes for 322 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Raiders' 24-21 win over the Steelers on Sunday. He also lost a yard on his one carry and lost a fumble.

Carr did an excellent job spreading the ball around, connecting with seven different pass catchers. He also led a game-winning eight-play, 75-yard march that he capped off with a six-yard touchdown pass to Derek Carrier with 30 seconds remaining, erasing a 21-17 deficit. Carr also continued to cultivate his already prolific connection with Jared Cook, hitting the veteran tight end on seven occasions for 116 yards. The fifth-year pro now has 607 passing yards and a 5:0 TD:INT over the last two games, in which he's completed 75 percent of his throws. He'll look to stay hot against the Bengals in a Week 15 matchup.

Mullens completed 20 of 33 passes for 332 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the 49ers' 20-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday. He also rushed five times for 10 yards.

Mullens and tight end George Kittle almost single-handedly dismantled the Broncos in the first half, as the second-year tight end connected with the rookie signal caller on seven occasions for 210 yards and a score. While Mullens couldn't lead the offense to any second-half points, the 49ers were also able to take their foot off the gas after building a 20-0 lead in the first half. Mullens has now thrown for a total of 746 yards and four touchdowns over the last pair of games, giving his fantasy value a considerable boost. He'll look to continue his excellent stretch of play versus the Seahawks in a Week 15 divisional tilt.

Keenum completed 24 of 42 passes for 186 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in the Broncos' 20-14 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. He also gained 24 yards on four rushes.

Keenum averaged just 4.4 yards per attempt and was under 200 passing yards for the third straight game. While he extended his interception-less streak to five contests, he also failed to complete 60 percent of his passes for the fourth consecutive game. Keenum was playing his first game without Emmanuel Sanders (Achilles), but the Denver passing attack as a whole has been a low-upside proposition for several weeks. Keenum will look to bolster his numbers versus the Browns in a Week 15 Saturday night matchup.

Darnold completed 16 of 24 passes for 170 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 27-23 win over Buffalo. He also rushed for 10 yards on four carries.

Darnold only threw six passes in the first half, completing four for 41 yards. He limped off to the locker room and didn't play on New York's second drive after rushing for nine yards on third-and-10 prior to a punt on the first, but Darnold was able to return for the Jets' third possession and beyond. His touchdown was a 7-yarder to Robby Anderson, and Darnold found Anderson for a 37-yard gain down the sideline inside of two minutes left to set up Elijah McGuire's game-winning touchdown run. The Jets would be wise to take it easy with their rookie signal-caller's bothersome foot injury, but expect Darnold to be under center against the Texans in Week 15 if things don't get any worse on that front.

Stafford completed 15 of 23 passes for 101 yards during Sunday's 17-3 victory over Arizona. He also rushed once for seven yards.

Playing with a sore back that limited him in practice all week, Stafford had trouble finding open receivers against a Patrick Peterson-led secondary that entered the game ranked 10th in terms of yards allowed per pass attempt (7.2). He ultimately finished with his all-time lowest yardage output in any game he's started and finished, though the Lions pulled out the win on the back of strong defense and a serviceable running game. Without Marvin Jones Jr. (knee) and Golden Tate (traded to Eagles), Detroit is having issues creating explosive plays through the air, and Stafford could continue to struggle to put up big numbers while playing with a depleted supporting cast. The Lions' Week 15 matchup with the Bills' top-ranked pass defense isn't a great spot for a rebound.

Allen completed 18 of 36 passes for 206 yards and two interceptions in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Jets. He also rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown on nine carries, in addition to losing a fumble.

Allen capped the opening drive with a six-yard rushing touchdown en route to 87 first-half rushing yards. The athletic rookie has bolstered his fantasy stock by piling up 335 yards on the ground over the past three games, but he's also averaging fewer than 200 passing yards and has more interceptions than touchdowns through the air over that span, leaving much to be desired with his play under center. Buffalo didn't draft Allen with the expectation of immediate NFL-readiness, so he remains a high-ceiling dynasty prospect despite his current passing struggles. The Bills will host the Lions in Week 15.

Rodgers completed 21 of 32 passes for 196 yards and two touchdowns while adding three carries for 44 yards in Sunday's win over the Falcons.

Rodgers started strong by completing six of seven passes for 62 yards and a touchdown on the opening drive, but he still struggled to connect on passes downfield for much of the afternoon. The veteran signal-caller found Randall Cobb for a 24-yard touchdown in the third quarter to push the Packers' lead to 27-7, and Aaron Jones' touchdown run later in the period allowed the offense to go into cruise control. Rodgers looked a bit better with interim coach Joe Philbin calling the plays following Mike McCarthy's dismissal, but it was ultimately a fairly disappointing stat line against a Falcons defense that ranked in the bottom third of the league against the pass entering Sunday. A tough divisional matchup awaits in Week 15 at Chicago.

Mayfield completed 18 of 22 passes for 238 yards and a touchdown while adding two yards on four carries in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Panthers.

After Carolina marched down the field for a touchdown to open the contest, Mayfield responded by hitting Breshad Perriman for a 66-yard gain with his first throw. While that pass eventually set up a rushing score, Mayfield wouldn't be denied a touchdown of his own in the second quarter, when he uncorked a 51-yard deep ball to Jarvis Landry. The rookie quarterback has led Cleveland to three wins in the past four games, but maintaining that success won't be easy in Week 15 when Cleveland travels to Denver.
