  • Andy Dalton QB | PHI

    Bengals' Andy Dalton: Two touchdowns in win over Eagles

    Dalton completed 23 of 31 passes for 332 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 32-14 win against the Eagles. He added nine yards on two rushes.

    Dalton completed an impressive 74 percent of his passes at 10.7 yards per attempt while connecting with Tyler Eifert and Brandon LaFell for a pair of red zone scores. It was the Red Rifle's second game of the season with over 300 passing yards and touchdowns with no interceptions, and he seems to be coping without A.J. Green (hamstring) or Gio Bernard (knee) at his disposal. Dalton's terrific performance helped end a four-game winless streak for the Bengals, who will look to build off this performance against the hapless Browns next week.

  • Paxton Lynch QB | PIT

    Broncos' Paxton Lynch: Mediocre in win

    Lynch completed 12 of 24 passes for 104 yards and rushed for 11 yards in Sunday's win over Jacksonville.

    Lynch's return to his home state was full of missed opportunities. He misfired on at least one deep ball each to Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders and just barely failed to connect with Virgil Green on a scramble drill. One can chalk these misses up to poor chemistry with the starters, growing pains by the rookie, or a solid Jacksonville defense, but it is clear that there is no quarterback controversy in Denver and that Trevor Siemian (foot) can't return to the lineup soon enough.

  • Jared Goff QB | DET

    Rams' Jared Goff: Throws for 161 yards in third start

    Goff completed 14 of 32 passes for 161 yards, with a touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 26-10 loss to the Patriots.

    One week after finding some success against a terrible Saints secondary, Goff was unable to get anything going against a more respectable Patriots unit. He has topped 200 yards only once in his first three starts and would've been held without a score in two of the three if it wasn't for a garbage-time touchdown pass to Kenny Britt. Goff will be tough to trust next week despite a plus matchup with the subpar Falcons defense.

  • Tyrod Taylor QB | GB

    Bills' Tyrod Taylor: Cools off in second half

    Taylor completed 18 of 35 passes for 190 yards, with no touchdowns, an interception and fumble lost in Sunday's 38-24 loss at Oakland. He carried the ball three times for 30 yards and a touchdown.

    Taylor started the game completing nine of 10 passes, but cooled off at the end of the first half and into the second half, when he had both of his turnovers. He salvaged his fantasy game with a third-quarter touchdown run. He'll look to get back on track next week at home against the Steelers.

  • 49ers' Blaine Gabbert: Unimpressive after replacing Kaepernick

    Gabbert completed four of 10 passes for 35 yards and rushed once for one yard while playing the fourth quarter of Sunday's 26-6 loss to the Bears.

    Gabbert replaced a struggling Colin Kaepernick, who managed just 4 passing yards through three quarters. While he outplayed the speedier alternative in his brief time under center, Gabbert's 5:6 touchdown-to-interception ratio as the starter for the first five weeks suggests he didn't do enough here to reclaim the job.

  • Derek Carr QB | NO

    Raiders' Derek Carr: Throws pair of TDs

    Carr (right finger) completed 19 of 35 pass attempts for 260 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Bills.

    Carr struggled a bit in the first half but turned it on in the second half, tossing a short touchdown to Michael Crabtree in the third quarter and a 37-yard score to Amari Cooper in the final period. The touchdown to Cooper gave the Raiders their first lead of the game. The young QB should have had a touchdown in second quarter, but Crabtree dropped a wide-open pass in the end zone. There were actually several drops throughout the game that hurt Carr's overall numbers. The finger injury he suffered last week did not appear to be a factor, although he operated exclusively out of the shotgun. Next week, he'll face the Chiefs on the road.

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Packers' Aaron Rodgers: Throws for two touchdowns against Texans

    Rodgers (hamstring) completed 20 of 30 throws for 209 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's game against the Texans. He added 16 yards on three carries.

    Rodgers' stat line is nothing flashy, but his effort was enough to lift the Packers to victory in a game played on a snow-covered Lambeau Field. His first touchdown was the result of him escaping the pocket and finding Randall Cobb cutting across the end zone, and his second was a 32-yard strike to a wide-open Jordy Nelson. Rodgers did look uncomfortable with his injured hamstring at times, but the Packers' offensive line did a good job of keeping him in the pocket by reducing pressure, allowing only one sack on the day. He may be rested some in practice this week in order to avoid worsening his hamstring, but Rodgers should be set to go against Richard Sherman and the Seahawks in Week 14.

  • Ryan Tannehill QB | TEN

    Dolphins' Ryan Tannehill: Three interceptions in Week 13 loss

    Tannehill completed 29 of 40 passes for 226 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Ravens. He also netted zero yards on his one carry and fumbled once but recovered.

    After posting a stellar 9:1 TD-to-INT ratio over the previous five games, Tannehill slogged through his fourth multi-interception day of the season. The three picks marked a season high, however, and his 5.65 YPA figure was his third-lowest of the campaign as well. Consistent pressure was a factor, as the Ravens harassed Tannehill frequently despite officially recording just a pair of sacks. The one bright spot on the afternoon for both the fifth-year quarterback and the Dolphins was his nifty fourth-quarter, eight-yard scoring connection in the right corner of the end zone with DeVante Parker that represented the team's only points. At 7-5 and in the midst of a playoff push, Tannehill and the Dolphins will try to rebound against the Cardinals in a Week 14 home tilt.

  • Matt Barkley QB | JAC

    Bears' Matt Barkley: Fails to throw touchdown pass in Sunday victory

    Barkley completed 11 of 18 passes for 192 yards while rushing for an additional three yards Sunday against the 49ers.

    Barkley didn't complete a pass until 90 seconds remained in the first half, but he threw for 170 of his 192 yards during the course of three consecutive drives that each led to a rushing touchdown by Jordan Howard. Despite having a fantastic performance against Tennessee in Week 12, he won't likely be consistent enough to trust as anything more than a situational starter in fantasy leagues that start two quarterbacks.

  • Lions' Matthew Stafford: Dissects New Orleans secondary

    Stafford completed 30 of 42 passes for 341 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Saints, adding 22 yards across three rushing attempts.

    On a day without top receiver Marvin Jones (thigh), Stafford set a season high in pass attempts and topped a 70-percent completion percentage for the fifth time in 2016 en route to one of his most efficient performances of the year. What's more, Stafford continues to appear more elusive on the ground than he has in previous years, logging his eighth game with double-digit rushing yardage and his sixth with a tote of at least 10 yards. Next up is a divisional matchup at home against a Bears defense with only five interceptions to its name (T-28th in the league).
