Keenum (concussion) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Nick Wagoner of ESPN reports.

In the wake of another disastrous Nick Foles performance, Keenum was named the starting quarterback for Sunday's game. He was no better than Foles in his only outing this season, throwing for just 136 yards against a sub-par Baltimore defense in Week 11. Though his concussion is no longer a concern, Keenum could be in for another long afternoon, as the Detroit defense has been vastly improved in the second half of the season.

Bridgewater completed 25 of 36 passes for 335 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 23-20 loss to the Cardinals, but he lost a fumble on the final drive of the game.

The Cardinals went all out to stop Adrian Peterson, leaving Bridgewater with at least a handful of easy completions off play-action, though he did also make some more difficult throws. He notably led an 11-play, 88-yard touchdown drive to tie the game at 20 in the fourth quarter, and then brought his team in range for a game-tying field goal in the final seconds. Bridgewater finished his otherwise impressive night in the worst way possible, but it was still a promising performance on the whole. He has an easier matchup against the Bears in Week 15, but with Adrian Peterson likely to have more running room, Bridgewater's volume could very well drop back down to its usual miserly level.

Keenum (concussion) practiced fully Wednesday, Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

The uninhibited showing marks Keenum's first since suffering a concussion in Week 11, which allowed Nick Foles to toss a combined 71 passes over the last two games. The Rams fired their offensive coordinator in the aftermath of Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, so it remains to be seen if the offense will exhibit some balance moving forward. No matter what occurs Sunday against the Lions, Keenum will likely be more of a game manager than anything, with Todd Gurley toting the rock with regularity.

Cousins completed 22-of-31 passes for 219 yards and one touchdown in Monday night's loss to the Cowboys.

Cousins and the Redskins' offense struggled to move the ball for much of Monday's game, but once again, Cousins posted an impressive completion rate of 71 percent. While his 7.07 yards per attempt was still rather underwhelming, Cousins didn't turn the ball over, and perfectly arced a 28-yard touchdown pass to DeSean Jackson with under a minute remaining in Monday's game. Looking ahead, Cousins travels to play the Bears this upcoming Sunday.

Whitehurst replaced an injured Matt Hasselbeck in the fourth quarter and was 4-of-8 for 51 yards in Sunday's loss at Pittsburgh. He could start Sunday against Jacksonville if Hasselbeck remains sidelined with a sore neck.

Andrew Luck isn't expected to return from a lacerated kidney and abdominal muscle injury until at least Week 15, according to NFL Network, so Whitehurst would get the nod this week if Hasselbeck is out.

Bridgewater completed 17 of 28 yards for 118 yards and an interception in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. He added a two-yard run during the contest.

Bridgewater has just one game with over 300 yards and two touchdown passes in 2015, they occurred during the same game - a Week 7 win over Detroit. In the six games since, Bridgewater has been held under 200 yards five times and has thrown three touchdown passes against four interceptions and two fumbles. Of the 20 NFL quarterbacks with more than 340 pass attempts, Bridgewater is the only one with fewer than 12 touchdowns this season, sitting at eight for the third consecutive week. Expect Minnesota to lean on Adrian Peterson down the stretch, with Bridgewater and the passing game serving as a modest complement.

Bradford (shoulder) completed 14 of 24 passes for 120 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 35-28 upset win at New England.

Bradford returned from missing two games with his shoulder injury, and didn't need to do much Sunday, as the Eagles got three return touchdowns. He did complete a huge third-down pass late in the game that should have sealed the win (RB Kenjon Barner fumbled a few plays later to give Tom Brady one last shot). Bradford threw multiple touchdowns in a game for the first time since Week 5, and has an ugly 6.7 YPA this season, so despite not having an opportunity to do much Sunday, it's hard to trust him. In Week 14, he'll play a Bills' defense that hasn't been great at defending the pass in 2015.

Mariota completed 20-of-29 passes for 268 yards and three touchdowns, and added a career-high 122 rushing yards and his second career rushing touchdown in Sunday's 42-39 win over the Jaguars. The rookie quarterback did have two turnovers, though, as he threw an interception and lost a fumble.

Mariota finally displayed the mobility that made him so dangerous as Oregon's quarterback last season, and Tennessee's offense looked much more efficient as a result. The rookie finally seems to be settling in as an NFL starter, with seven total touchdowns in the last two weeks after he had managed just six in his previous five appearances. Turnovers have continued to be a bugaboo for Mariota, as he now has five multi-turnover games through 10 career starts.

Gabbert completed 18 of 32 passes for 196 yards and a touchdown Sunday versus the Bears. He also ran six times for 75 yards and a crucial touchdown that sent the game into overtime.

The fifth-year pro failed to pile up numbers in the passing department, but his contribution on the ground salvaged the day for the 49ers and fantasy owners alike. Gabbert managed to avoid turning the ball over for the second time in the last three weeks, and he improved to 2-2 as San Francisco's starter. Gabbert's big day was by far his best fantasy performance of the season, and his production should be relatively volatile from week to week given the feeble nature of the 49ers offense. Week 14 will bring an away matchup against the Browns.

Carr completed 31 of 48 passes for 283 yards, with two touchdowns and three interceptions in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Chiefs.

The Raiders had the lead heading into the fourth quarter, but Carr uncharacteristically became a turnover machine, tossing all three of his interceptions in the final period, including a back-breaking 38-yard pick six at the 3:14 mark. Carr struggled at Detroit in Week 11, and even though he imploded a bit Sunday, he's been solid in general during his second season. On a negative note, he's got a brutal matchup next week at Denver, which held him to just 249 yards and one touchdown in Week 5.
