Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson picked up three scores Week 14 against the Eagles.

Wilson completed 22 of 37 passes for 263 yards and two passing touchdowns. He did not turn the ball over during the contest. Wilson was able to use his escapability in the pocket to extend some plays. While he was sacked twice, he also managed to break free and find receivers often. Wilson averaged 7.1 yards per attempt. As usual, he was also a threat in the running game. Wilson ran the ball 10 times for 48 yards. He was able to break free on a 26 yard touchdown run in the second quarter, tying the game up. 

Wilson will look for more Week 15 against the 49ers. 

Raiders quarterback Derek Carr had a strong game Week 14 against the 49ers.

Carr completed 22 of 28 passes for 254 yards and three scores. He did not turn the ball over and took just one sack during the outing. Carr was able to show off his arm during the contest, as he averaged 9.1 yards per completion. Carr showed a lot of resilience during the game, leading two separate comebacks. He was able to pull the team ahead for good late in the fourth quarter. Carr also rushed twice for 2 yards. 

Carr will take on the Chiefs Week 15. 

Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill posted another subpar effort in Week 14, in a 28-13 loss to the Ravens.

Tannehill had just 15 Fantasy points in Sunday's game, though he avoided any sort of mistakes in the loss. He just did little of note as the Dolphins offense fell completely silent after a few strong early drives. He picked up 227 yards though the air in the game, but rushed for just 6 on two carries, his fifth straight game with fewer than 20 rushing yards.

From Week 4 to Week 9, Tannehill averaged 24.0 Fantasy points per game, a good chunk of which came with his legs, as he averaged 45.4 yards per game on the ground. In five games since, he has just 50 rushing yards total, and is averaging 17.6 Fantasy points per game.

Tannehill is a solid enough passer, but the Dolphins really found another level of success when he was involved as a runner. With teams slowing him down on the ground, Fantasy owners should probably steer clear of Tannehill down the stretch. 

Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford threw for 331 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Bucs. 

Stafford found wide receiver Calvin Johnson for a 6-yard touchdown to get things going in the first quarter. Then, up 20-10, Stafford connected with tight end Joseph Fauria for a 10-yard touchdown. He sealed the win for Detroit he hit running back Joique Bell for a 5-yard score.

Stafford and the Lions host the Vikings in Week 15.

Jets quarterback Geno Smith was able to throw a touchdown pass, but it was not enough to defeat the Vikings Sunday.

Smith threw a pick-six on his first pass attempt of the game, but was able to recover to complete 18 of his 29 pass attempts for 254 yards. Smith also rushed for 33 yards on six attempts.

The 29 pass attempts were more than double what Smith attempted Week 13 against the Dolphins when he threw 13 passes. Smith has yet to throw multiple touchdown passes in a game this season without an interception.

The Jets will play at Tennessee Week 15.

Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton threw for 302 yards and two touchdowns in Cincinnati's loss to Pittsburgh in Week 14. Dalton also ran four times for 22 yards and a touchdown. 

His touchdown run came on a read option where Dalton kept and strolled into the endzone for the score. Dalton also connected with wide receiver A.J. Green for an 80-yard touchdown. 

Dalton briefly left the game in the fourth quarter when he was hit in the ribs after a pass, but he missed just one play. Dalton was taken out at the end of the game as a precautionary measure. 

The Bengals will face the Browns in Week 15.

Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater produced a solid performance to help lead the Vikings to a 30-24 victory against the Jets Week 14.

Bridgewater completed 19 of his 27 pass attempts for 309 yards and two touchdowns. It was the second time this season Bridgewater was able to surpass more than 300 passing yards in a game. Bridgewater’s two touchdown passes were from 56 and 87 yards. He has now thrown multiple touchdown passes in three consecutive games.

Bridgewater did throw an interception and added 7 rushing yards on three attempts.

The Vikings travel to Detroit Week 15.

Mike Pettine declined to name a starting quarterback for the Week 15 game against Cincinnati after a terrible performance by Brian Hoyer on Sunday in a huge loss by the Browns to Indianapolis.

"I'm not speaking on the quarterback situation at this point," he told the media after the defeat.

It would appear quite possible, however, that Johnny Manziel will be under center with the Bengals in town.

Brian Hoyer remained the Browns starting quarterback heading into the Sunday game against Indianapolis. It appears likely that he will be the backup when the last-place team hosts Cincinnati in Week 15.

Hoyer performed miserably again in a winnable, must-win battle. He finished 14 of 31 for 140 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. He was particularly bad in the second half, completing 6 of 14 for just 41 yards and a pick. He threw often off his back foot and twice overthrew wide open receivers deep.

It's highly unlikely the Browns will attempt to sign Hoyer, who is slated for free agency after this season. He has no touchdowns and seven interceptions in the last three games combined.

Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed 23 of his 33 pass attempts for 227 yards during a 28-13 loss to the Ravens Sunday.

Tannehill’s lone touchdown came on a 3-yard pass to wide receiver Brian Hartline. The 227 passing yards helped Tannehill surpass 10,000 passing yards for his career. He also added 6 rushing yards on two attempts. Tannehill has not thrown for more than 300 yards in any game this season.

The Dolphins play at New England Week 15.
