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.

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.

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).

Rodgers (hamstring) is active for Sunday's home matchup against the Texans.

Rodgers suffered a hamstring injury in the Week 12 victory over Philadelphia, but didn't miss a down and finished the evening with a 76.9 completion percentage. The injury limited him in practice this week, but the expectation has always been that the two-time MVP would suit up for Sunday's home matchup against Houston. Rodgers has one of the highest floors out of any fantasy quarterback, as the lack of an effective running game in Green Bay has led him to attempt 38 or more passes in every contest since the team's Week 4 bye. That being said, Houston represents a tough matchup for Rodgers, as their pass defense is ranked fifth in the league, allowing 209.2 yards through the air per game. Furthermore, snow flurries are expected to be in the forecast for the outdoor matchup in Green Bay, though Rodgers is no stranger to performing under adverse weather conditions. The cards may seem to be stacked against him, but fantasy owners would need another elite quarterback on the roster to seriously consider benching the Packers signal caller for a must-win game in Week 13.

Rodgers (hamstring) is expected to play Sunday against the Texans, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Rodgers tweaked his hamstring during Monday's win over the Eagles, and while he has been limited in practice all week, the expectation was always that he would play Sunday.

Carr (right finger) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bills after practicing fully all week.

Per the San Francisco Chronicle, Carr has ditched the glove he used in Wednesday's practice, and has been working with his (previously) dislocated pinkie taped. With that in mind, Carr declared earlier this week that the issue won't cause him to have any on-field limitations in Week 13.

Rodgers (hamstring) is considered questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Texans.

Rodgers was limited throughout practice this week after tweaking his hamstring during Monday's win over the Eagles. Although coach Mike McCarthy has already stated his expectation that Rodgers will play come Sunday, his status will need to be confirmed over the weekend. The Packers have another on-field workout scheduled for Saturday, so it's possible that further news regarding his availability could surface then.

Lynch will start Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

With Trevor Siemian having been ruled out because of a sprained left foot, the Broncos will turn back to Lynch, who completed 37 of 59 passes for 393 yards, two touchdowns and an interception while Siemian was hurting in Weeks 4 and 5. The rookie is thus a lineup option in deeper formats, but he remains a speculative Week 13 fantasy play in just his second NFL start. The 2-9 Jaguars have been surprisingly good at defending through the air, allowing an average of 204.3 passing yards per game.

Siemian (sprained left foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Siemian, who did not practice this week, will be replaced in the team's starting lineup by rookie Paxton Lynch; Austin Davis is set to serve as the backup. The Broncos' usual starter, who has been sporting a walking boot this week, will look to recover in time for a potential return to action in the Broncos' Week 14 road game against the Titans.

Siemian (foot) -- who did not practice Friday -- is expected to be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Mike Klis of 9 News Denver reports.

As a result, rookie Paxton Lynch is in line to start at QB for the Broncos in Week 13, with Austin Davis set to serve as his backup Sunday. More on Siemian's official status will come upon the release of the Broncos' final injury report of the week, released later Friday.
