Dak Prescott QB | DAL
Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Relatively quiet in Thanksgiving win
Prescott completed 17-of-24 passes for 195 yards, and a touchdown in Thursday's win over the Redskins.
The rookie also rushed eight times to provide 39 yards on the ground. The Cowboys were able to depend on Ezekiel Elliott for much of the way, as they held a lead for the majority of the contest. Prescott provided another efficient performance for the first place Cowboys, and will look to continue his stellar play next Thursday against the Vikings.

Kirk Cousins QB | LV
Redskins' Kirk Cousins: Stays hot in Thanksgiving loss
Cousins completed 41-of-53 passes for 449 yards, his second highest total of the season, and three touchdowns in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys.
With the Redskins trailing nearly the entirety of the game, Cousins had plenty of opportunity to put in work through the air Thursday. He hooked up with tight end Jordan Reed for two of his touchdowns, and connected with the speedy DeSean Jackson for a 67 yard bomb as well. The 28-year-old has now thrown for 824 yards and six touchdowns in back-to-back prime time performances. He will look to stay hot when the Redskins head to Arizona for their Week 12 contest.

Sam Bradford QB | MIN
Vikings' Sam Bradford: Turns 31 completions into just 224 yards
Bradford completed 31 of 37 passes for 224 yards during Thursday's loss to Detroit. He also threw a costly interception with just 1:15 left in the game.
It is difficult to do less with 31 completions, as the Minnesota passing attack never pushed the ball downfield. Bradford's longest completion (41 yards) went to Jerick McKinnon on a short pass that the running back took for a significant gain after the catch. Bradford has now passed for just 393 yards and a single touchdown over his past two games, and with a wounded offensive line and limited playmakers surrounding him, it's unlikely Bradford turns it around in a tough matchup against the Cowboys in Week 13.

Matthew Stafford QB | LAR
Lions' Matthew Stafford: Ushers Detroit atop division standings
Stafford completed 23 of 40 pass attempts for 232 yards and one touchdown Thursday against the Vikings, also adding 30 yards on four carries.
After logging two games of 300-plus yards in the first three weeks of the season, Stafford has thrown for less than 250 in five of the last eight. While his play can't be faulted from a real-life perspective -- Thursday marked the seventh fourth-quarter comeback Stafford has engineered in the 2016 campaign -- the signal-caller is failing to impress from a fantasy standpoint as of late. However, he's now set to take his modest five-game average of 247 yards and one touchdown into a favorable matchup against the Saints in Week 13.

Andy Dalton QB | PHI
Bengals' Andy Dalton: Practices fully
Dalton (right shoulder) returned to a full practice Thursday, Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com reports.
Dalton is good to go for Sunday's game against the Ravens, but his pass-catching corps in Week 12 will be taxed by the absence of No. 1 wideout A.J. Green (hamstring), as well as RB Giovani Bernard (knee, IR).

Andy Dalton QB | PHI
Bengals' Andy Dalton: Limited at practice Wednesday
Dalton (right shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Dalton is not in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Ravens, but his pass-catching corps will be taxed by the absence of top wideout A.J. Green (hamstring) and RB Giovani Bernard (knee, IR). Meanwhile veteran WR Brandon LaFell sat out practice Wednesday.

Stephen Morris QB | SEA
Stephen Morris: Added to active roster
The Colts have promoted Morris to their active roster.
While the Colts have not ruled Andrew Luck out for Thursday's game against the Steelers, the addition of Morris suggests that Luck will not be available for the contest. In such as scenario, Morris would back up Scott Tolzien on Thursday.

Derek Carr QB | NO
Raiders' Derek Carr: Three touchdowns in Monday's win
Carr completed 21 of 31 passes for 295 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception during Monday's win over the Texans.
Carr continued to show poise at the Raiders' helm following the team's bye week, leading them to their eighth win of the season as he added three more passing touchdowns. The improved offensive line continues to impress in their protection of Carr, not allowing a single sack during Monday's contest. The team rushed for just 30 total yards, however, making Carr's ability to throw for almost 300 that much more impressive. They'll host the Panthers in Week 12, who have struggled against opposing quarterbacks throughout the 2016 season.
