The Browns are open to using Sanders as their starting quarterback for the rest of the 2025 season, depending on how he fares during his ensuing starts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Sanders made his first NFL start in the Browns' Week 12 win over the Raiders, completing11 of 20 passes for 209 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He drew the start for that game after Dillon Gabriel was placed in concussion protocol following Cleveland's Week 11 loss to Baltimore. Despite Gabriel clearing the protocol ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers, Sanders will retain the starting job, and the former could be in line to hang on to the job for the balance of the season.

Mayfield is expected to start Sunday against the Cardinals and could wear padding to protect his left shoulder, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Mayfield sustained a low-grade AC joint sprain in his left shoulder during the Buccaneers' Week 12 loss to the Rams. Teddy Bridgewater opened Week 13 prep taking reps with the first-team offense, but Mayfield logged a full practice Friday to draw the questionable tag and is expected to suit up Sunday. Mayfield's status may not be officially known until Tampa Bay announces its list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Hurts completed 19 of 34 passes for 230 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Friday's 24-15 loss to the Bears. He added four rushes for 31 yards but also lost a fumble.

Hurts failed to move the Eagles offense in the first half, as he was regularly off target and totaled only 57 passing yards on 10 attempts. He was more effective in the second half, connecting with A.J. Brown on several key completions -- including 33 and four-yard touchdown strikes. Even Hurts' effort in the final two quarters was hampered by two turnovers, however, including a fumble on a Tush Push deep in Bears territory. While he has been inconsistent leading the Philadelphia offense, Hurts has multiple touchdowns in consecutive games and four of his last six contests.

Williams completed 17 of 36 passes for 154 yards with one touchdown and one interception while adding five carries for 13 yards in the Bears' 24-15 win over the Eagles on Friday.

As his numbers indicate, Williams put together a forgettable fantasy effort that saw him average just 4.3 yards per attempt and finish with a QB rating of 56.9. The 2024 first overall pick leaned heavily on a ground attack that repeatedly knifed through the Eagles defense and a gritty performance from his own team's unit against Philadelphia's offense. Williams connected with Cole Kmet for his one touchdown pass from 28 yards out with just over six minutes remaining in the contest, and his late third-quarter pick was nullified by a Jalen Hurts fumble on a Tush Push attempt four plays later. Williams did see a four-game interception-less streak snapped with the miscue and has thrown for under 200 yards in two of the last three games, but at 9-3, the Bears head into a critical road clash with the Packers on Sunday, Dec. 7 with plenty of momentum.

Rudolph will serve as the Steelers' backup quarterback in Sunday's game against the Bills with Aaron Rodgers (wrist) having been cleared to start, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Rudolph played the entire second half of the Steelers' Week 11 win over the Bengals and then started last Sunday's loss to the Bears, finishing with 36 completions on 47 attempts for 298 yards, two touchdowns and one interception between the two outings. With Rodgers concluding Week 13 prep as a full practice participant, Rudolph will be back in his more typical No. 2 role this Sunday.

Mayfield (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Arizona after upgrading to full practice participation Friday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

The combination of a full practice and optimistic comments from coach Todd Bowles has Mayfield looking highly likely to play. Bowles told reporters that Mayfield "looked good" during Friday's practice and is "trending to play," per Rob Maaddi of the Associated Press. Mayfield's fantasy managers should nonetheless check back in before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday to make sure he's avoided late setbacks and is getting the nod.

Coach Shane Steichen confirmed Friday that Jones (fibula) will play Sunday against the Texans, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports. The QB officially does not carry an injury designation for the contest.

Jones was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough, but he was a full practice participant both Thursday and Friday, which paves the way for him to play through his fibula injury against the 6-5 Texans, who have won three straight games and will welcome starting signal-caller C.J. Stroud back to their starting lineup Sunday. With regard to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport's report that Jones has a fractured fibula, James Boyd of The Athletic relays that the Colts would neither confirm nor deny it. For his part, coach Shane Steichen told Boyd on Friday, "Talking to our trainers and our doctors and Daniel himself, we would never put him out there if we thought something could go wrong there," while indicating that he believes the QB's fibula can heal/improve this season even while he's still playing on it. When asked if Jones' fibula injury will limit certain parts of the Colts offense this weekend, Steichen said, "We'll manage. But again, we're not going to limit anything that we do offensively from a game-plan standpoint. ... We're ready to go. He's ready to go."

Brosmer will start Sunday's game against the Seahawks after J.J. McCarthy (concussion) was ruled out Friday, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

With Carson Wentz (shoulder) on injured reserve, Brosmer is the next man up under center for Minnesota. The 24-year-old rookie signed with the Vikings after he wasn't drafted out of Minnesota. Brosmer has attempted eight regular-season passes this season, completing five for 42 scoreless yards. During the preseason, Brosmer completed 60 percent of his 58 pass attempts for 364 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. The Seattle defense is a better one-for-one fantasy bet than Brosmer.

McCarthy (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Seattle, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

McCarthy made enough progress though the concussion protocol to log limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, but Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell revealed Friday that the QB remains in protocol. Rookie Max Brosmer will make his first NFL start, after handling the first-team reps at practice this week.

Mills will return to a backup role Sunday in Indianapolis after C.J. Stroud cleared the concussion protocol Friday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Coach Demeco Ryans made the announcement at the end of Week 13 prep, meaning Mills' time as the Texans' starting quarterback has come to a close for now. In three games spelling Stroud, Mills completed 69 of 116 passes for 719 yards, five touchdowns and one interception and had seven carries for 38 yards and one TD.
