Stafford completed 20 of 33 passes for 245 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Lions' 30-16 loss to the Rams on Sunday. He also gained two yards on his sole rush and lost a fumble.

Stafford turned in a serviceable stat line for fantasy purposes, but he still committed another pair of turnovers, including an interception in the end zone with 17 seconds remaining that snuffed out any last hopes the Lions may have had of completing a comeback. The veteran signal-caller is clearly hampered in an offense that's now down two of its top three receivers from the start of the season, and that was missing star rookie running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) on Sunday as well. Stafford has now thrown three interceptions in the last pair of contests, and he's completed 62.2 percent or less of his passes in three of his last four games overall, a period that largely encompasses the span since Marvin Jones went down with what would turn out to be a season-ending knee injury. Stafford will hope to at least have Johnson at his disposal when the Lions visit the Cardinals in Week 14.

Goff completed 17 of 33 passes for 207 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Rams' 30-16 win over the Lions on Sunday. He also lost two yards on two rushes and lost a fumble.

Goff's passing line was a departure from the norm, as the third-year quarterback struggled to get into a consistent rhythm all day. He had accumulated between 318 and 413 yards in his three prior games, making Sunday's tally his third lowest of the campaign. The 24-year-old also failed to throw multiple touchdown passes for the first time since Week 6, and his 51.5 completion percentage was his second lowest of 2018 as well. Having done enough to help secure a tougher-than-expected road win, Goff will look to boost his numbers back up against the Bears in a Week 14 road battle.

Tannehill completed 16 of 24 passes for 137 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in the Dolphins' 21-17 win over the Bills on Sunday. He also lost five yards on three rushes.

Tannehill found DeVante Parker, Kenny Stills and Kenyan Drake for passing scores, pushing his TD:INT to 5:1 in the two games since his return from a shoulder injury. The 30-year-old's pass attempts have been in the mid-20s in both contests, a volume that makes him more dependent on touchdowns for fantasy production. However, it's worth noting Tannehill was operating without trusted safety valve Danny Amendola (knee) on Sunday, reducing the number of options at his disposal when dropping back. Tannehill will look to up his yardage totals in a divisional showdown at home against the Patriots in Week 14.

Allen completed 18 of 33 passes for 231 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Bills' 21-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also completed a two-point conversion pass, rushed nine times for 135 yards and fumbled once, although it was recovered by the offense.

The rookie was spectacular with his legs, leading all rushers in ground yards by a comfortable margin while also putting up the second-highest passing yardage total of his career. The 22-year-old connected with Zay Jones for touchdown passes of 15 and 25 yards in the second and fourth quarters, respectively, while also hooking up with the receiver for a two-point conversion pass subsequent to the latter score. Allen continually moved the chains with his legs, and he nearly allowed the Bills to pull off a sizable upset by buying time and finding Charles Clay all alone in the end zone on a fourth-down play with 1:05 remaining. Although that pass fell just short, Allen certainly provided Bills fans and brass with plenty of reason for optimism with respect to his increasing comfort level under center. He'll look to build on Sunday's effort in a divisional clash against the Jets in Week 14.

Jackson completed 12 of 21 passes for 125 yards and added 75 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries during Sunday's 26-16 win over Atlanta. He lost a fumble during the contest.

Jackson gave the Ravens their only offensive touchdown late in the first quarter, keeping it on an option play and slicing for a 13-yard score. That's Jackson at his best. At his worst, Jackson scrambled early in the second quarter, was stripped, and the Falcons returned it for a 74-yard score. Jackson has doubtlessly breathed life into a Ravens team that is suddenly slated for a wild-card spot, but he continues to come with risk, not the least of which is whether his body, not exactly in the mold of Cam Newton, can survive his frequent scrambling. Notably, the athletic signal-caller missed time during the third quarter Sunday while in the concussion protocol. His style might catch up with him, but probably not next Sunday against a Chiefs defense among the worst in the league against the run, surrendering 5.0 yards per carry.

Jackson passed all concussion tests after exiting in the third quarter and returned to Sunday's game against the Falcons, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Jackson missed one drive while being evaluated for a head injury but returned for Baltimore's subsequent offensive possession, which culminated in a 47-yard field goal from Justin Tucker.

Jackson was forced out of Sunday's game against the Falcons with a suspected concussion, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

With Joe Flacco (hip) inactive Sunday, Robert Griffin will take over at QB for the Ravens in Jackson's absence.

Darnold (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

As reports over the previous 24 hours hinted, Darnold won't be ready to make his return to action while he continues to work back from the strained right foot. Josh McCown will draw a third straight start in the rookie's stead, but the Jets maintain optimism that Darnold will be ready to play Week 14 against the Bills. Darnold was a limited participant throughout practices this week, so he would likely need to upgrade to full participation between Wednesday and Friday to bolster his chances of starting versus Buffalo.

Darnold (foot) won't start Sunday's game against the Titans, sources tell Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. Josh McCown will instead fill in under center for the Jets' third consecutive game.

Cimini's report doesn't indicate whether Darnold will be inactive for the contest or dress as the backup quarterback, but bet on the former given that the team still has another healthy signal-caller in Davis Webb on the 53-man roster. Darnold demonstrated progress in his recovery from the right foot strain by practicing on a limited basis Wednesday through Friday, but the Jets probably aren't eager to take any chances with the No. 3 overall pick amid a non-contending season until they're confident he's 100 percent healthy. The 21-year-old would have a good chance at reclaiming the starting role Week 14 in Buffalo if he's able to complete a full practice beforehand.

Trubisky (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.

As anticipated, Trubisky will remain sidelined for a second straight contest while he recovers from what's believed to be an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder. Despite sitting out another game, Trubisky demonstrated progress this week by practicing on a limited basis Wednesday through Friday, with coach Matt Nagy relaying after the latter session that the quarterback resumed light throwing. Chase Daniel will draw a second start Sunday while Trubisky continues to recuperate, but the second-year signal-caller appears likely to return under center for a potential postseason preview against the Rams in Week 14.
