Barkley completed 20 of 32 passes for 212 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Lions.

After a quiet first half, Barkley salvaged a decent fantasy day while the Bears were trailing, and he was forced to go to a pass-heavy approach. Since his big effort Week 12, he's thrown one touchdown and averaged 202 yards in two games, and he'll continue to be a lower-end option in fantasy leagues that start two quarterbacks.

Siemian completed 35 of 51 passes for 334 yards and a score in Sunday's loss to Tennessee.

After one game on the shelf with a foot injury, Siemian set career highs in attempts and completions while not getting much support from his running game. The result was a Denver offense that didn't score until the fourth quarter, and that was held up near the goal line during a scoring opportunity in the final period as well, with Siemian's third-and-fourth-down passes falling incomplete. Siemian did end up finding Emmanuel Sanders for a three-yard score on the next drive, but it was too late. Even in his best games of the season -- against Cincinnati and Kansas City -- Siemian didn't heat up until the end of the game. Unless your goal is to bite your nails to the nub until the closing seconds, playing Siemian is a needlessly stressful exercise.

Stafford appears to have injured his finger in Sunday's 20-17 victory over the Bears. He still played the entire game and compiled 223 yards passing, one touchdown and two interceptions to go along with 15 yards rushing.

Stafford predictably regressed from his Week 13 output against the Saints. In fact, he was markedly worse, considering he threw multiple interceptions for the first time since a Week 4 matchup with this same Bears squad. He also compiled one of his lowest passing yardage totals of the season on a mediocre 60 percent completion rate. The severity of the finger injury isn't certain, but Stafford was seen after the game with his right middle finger wrapped in gauze, according to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. The quarterback noted in the post-game conference he planned on receiving X-rays. Look for an update on his status in the coming days, but at this point in time, he's far from a lock to start next week at the Giants.

Dalton completed 20 of 28 passes for 180 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 23-10 victory over the Browns. He also rushed twice for 17 yards.

It wasn't a huge day for Dalton in terms of passing yards -- it was actually his lowest total of the season -- but he was able to hook up with Tyler Eifert for two red-zone touchdowns, and that was enough to put away the Browns. In his last three games, Dalton has thrown five touchdowns without an interception, and that has resulted in two wins, even without A.J. Green (hamstring) and Giovani Bernard (knee). Dalton will look to continue his strong play of late against the Steelers in Week 15.

Cousins completed 14 of 21 passes for 234 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 27-22 win at Philadelphia.

Cousins had another rather quiet first half, but turned it on in the second, connecting with DeSean Jackson for an 80-yard touchdown early in the third quarter. He then ended the period with a 15-yard connection to Pierre Garcon for his second passing touchdown of the day. However, Cousins almost cost Washington the game early in the fourth quarter after Leodis McKelvin intercepted a pass intended for Jackson, taking it to the house and bringing the Eagles within two points of the lead. His 234 passing yards were the lowest since Week 4, but he'll look to rebound against a shaky Panthers secondary in a Monday night matchup in Week 15.

The Dolphins believe that Tannehill tore his ACL on Sunday against the Cardinals, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

Per the report, Tannehill is slated to undergo an MRI to determine if there is any additional damage to his knee, but at this stage, it looks like the QB's season is probably over and that the team will turn to veteran signal-caller Matt Moore down the stretch.

Bradford completed 24 of 34 passes for 292 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's win over Jacksonville. He added 17 yards on the ground.

The Vikings' offense was quiet for much of the game until two fourth-quarter touchdowns, the second of which was a three-yard roll-out pass to tight end Kyle Rudolph. Sunday was Bradford's sixth consecutive game completing at least 70 percent of his passes, but his consistent accuracy hasn't yielded big returns from a fantasy perspective. In those six games, Bradford has thrown for 250 yards just three times and more than a single touchdown just once as Minnesota has leaned heavily on its defense to get by.

Though the Dolphins have not yet provided details regarding the knee injury Tannehill suffered Sunday, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald relays that one source told him that the QB's injury is "serious."

We'll continue to track Tannehill's status in the coming days, but if his injury is indeed significant, the 8-5 Dolphins would be forced turn to veteran signal-caller Matt Moore down the stretch.

Taylor completed 15 of 25 passes for 228 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's loss to the Steelers. He also added just two yards rushing on three carries.

Taylor was forced to lead the Bills' offense from behind for a majority of Sunday's contest while Pittsburgh controlled the clock. Taylor's 15.2 yards per completion to go along with two scores salvaged his fantasy production, but offensive line struggles provided limitations on his upside as he got sacked five times. He used running back LeSean McCoy often as his safety valve, connecting on six occasions for 81 yards. Taylor will have a favorable matchup next week against the struggling Browns.

Tannehill left Sunday's game against the Cardinals with a left knee injury.

Tannehill was able to head to the locker room on his own steam, but he was limping some, which suggests that he may not able to return to Sunday's game. Matt Moore has taken over at QB for the Dolphins while Tannehill gets his knee checked out further.
