Mullens completed 30 of 48 passing attempts for 414 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 43-16 loss to the Seahawks. He also gained one yard on two carries.

San Francisco was down 27-3 just 16 seconds into the third quarter, so most of this was a garbage-time effort from Mullens. Nevertheless, the rookie would set career highs for attempts, completions and yards in the contest while finding Dante Pettis for two touchdowns. Things get briefly better for the 23-year-old with a home matchup against Denver in Week 14, but he'll be tough to trust in the fantasy playoffs with a rematch against Seattle followed by Chicago in Weeks 15 and 16, respectively.

Mahomes completed 23 of 38 passes for 295 yards and four touchdowns, adding nine rushes for 52 yards during Sunday's 40-33 win against the Raiders.

The second-year quarterback continues to play an ungodly level, with 853 offensive yards and 10 touchdowns over Kansas City's past two games following a slight hiccup in Week 10 (career-low 249 passing yards against Arizona). Peyton Manning's all-time single-season mark of 55 touchdown passes remains within reach, as Mahomes finds himself on pace for 54.7 with games remaining against the Ravens (top-10 against the pass), Chargers (top-10), Seahawks (13th) and Raiders (14th). The hope for invested fantasy GMs is that the Texans and Patriots continue to push Kansas City for homefield advantage in the AFC, keeping Mahomes active throughout the fantasy playoffs. His upcoming matchup against Baltimore is the toughest remaining on the slate, with the Ravens allowing just 194.4 passing yards per game (second-fewest in the NFL).

Wilson completed 11 of 17 passes for 185 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's win over the 49ers. He rushed four times for 14 yards.

This clearly looked like one of those days for Wilson out of the gate, after his first pass went 45 yards to Jaron Brown, who later caught a 4-yard score on the same drive. He kept the momentum rolling on the next drive with a 52-yard bomb to Tyler Lockett to extend the lead to 13-0. Wilson refused to stop there, as he later hit Doug Baldwin and Brown again to reach a season-high four passing touchdowns. He now has 16 touchdowns and just one interception in six weeks since the bye. Despite being a run-first offense, Wilson is a must-start in the fantasy realm, but he will face a tougher opponent in Week 14 against the Vikings.

Coach Matt Nagy said after Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Giants that Trubisky is showing improvement and remains day-to-day, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.

As Trubisky continues with his recovery from what is thought to be an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, Nagy's comments come two days removed from the second-year signal-caller resuming light throwing. In Trubisky's stead, Chase Daniel has led the Bears to a 1-1 record on the backs of 515 yards passing and three touchdowns versus two interceptions. With a Week 14 showdown against the NFC-leading Rams on tap, the Bears ideally want to the more trusted option under center in Trubisky. His progress in the coming days will determine who will be directing the Bears offense next Sunday night.

Driskel completed 25 of 38 passes for 236 yards, a touchdown and an interception during Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Broncos. He also lost a fumble during the contest.

So much of Sunday's game was about Driskel handling the rush. Early in the third quarter with the Bengals driving, Driskel was flustered by the pressure and floated one to safety Justin Simmons. On the very next drive, Driskel hung in against the rush and uncorked a 30-yard strike to Cody Core for a catch-and-run touchdown, a sign of some improvement -- though his afternoon did also feature a strip sack and intentional-grounding call. The Bengals somewhat surprisingly didn't have the athletic Driskel run more on Sunday as he finished with three yards on three carries despite averaging 8.2 yards per carry and scoring two rushing touchdowns in reserve duty this season. After struggling against an injury-riddled Denver secondary, Driskel gets a Chargers defense next Sunday that ranks in the top 10 in opponent passer rating (87.4).

Rodgers completed 31 of 50 passes for 233 yards and a touchdown while adding 20 yards on three scrambles in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cardinals.

Rodgers' lone touchdown was a 13-yard strike to favorite receiver Davante Adams in the second quarter. The quarterback showed a lot of heart by leading a fourth-quarter touchdown drive to tie the game 17-17 and then putting his team in position to kick a game-tying, 49-yard field goal as time expired (Mason Crosby missed the kick). While Rodgers hasn't lived up to his usual lofty standards this season, the sky's the limit for him in Week 14, when a vulnerable Falcons defense comes to town.

Keenum completed 12 of 21 passes for 151 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 24-10 win over the Bengals. He added nine yards on two carries.

With the wind howling in Cincinnati, the Broncos leaned on the run game. That's been Denver's recipe for success during its three-game winning streak. Keenum is completing just 56.7 percent of his passes -- doubtlessly aided by some drops -- and averaging 185 yards per game during the winning streak as the Broncos have won with defense, a gashing run game, and a careful and efficient Keenum. Sunday's game was against a bottom-10 Bengals defense based on opponent passer rating, and next Sunday's opponent, the 49ers, rank slightly worse. Still, the Broncos probably won't open it up and sling the ball around when the quick passing game and run game have worked for them during their winning streak.

Watson completed 22 of 31 passes for 224 yards and a touchdown while adding 30 yards on seven rushing attempts in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Browns.

Watson hit all eight of his first-quarter passes, including an 11-yard touchdown to Jordan Thomas which put Houston up 10-0. The Texans didn't ask much of their quarterback in the second half after taking a 23-0 lead into the locker room, but Watson still did enough to lead his team to its ninth straight win ahead of a Week 14 clash with the AFC South rival Colts.

Winston completed 20 of 30 pass attempts for 249 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Panthers. He also carried five times for 48 yards in the 24-17 win.

Winston completed 67 percent of his passes while averaging a healthy 8.3 yards per attempt. He threw touchdown passes to Chris Godwin and Adam Humphries, giving him a 6:1 TD:INT over his last three games. Winston was also effective as a ball carrier, leading the team in rushing to top off his productive afternoon. He'll look to build on his recent success in Week 14 during what should be a high-scoring affair against the Saints.

Mayfield completed 29 of 43 passes for 397 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in Sunday's 29-13 loss to the Texans.

In the first half, Mayfield completed just five of 13 passes for 46 yards and three interceptions, as his team took a 23-0 deficit to the locker room. The rookie first overall pick played much better with his trailing team employing a pass-heavy approach in the second half, and he finally found Rashard Higgins for a 17-yard score with 2:58 remaining. Mayfield will try to be sharper from the get-go against the Panthers in Week 14.
