  • Brock Purdy QB | SF

    49ers' Brock Purdy: Suffers from snowy conditiions

    Purdy completed 11 of 18 pass attempts for 94 yards while rushing twice for four yards with a lost fumble in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Bills.

    Purdy and the entirety of San Francisco's offense struggled to gain traction in a blistering snowstorm on the road in Buffalo. The 49ers were forced to lean on the run throughout due to the harsh weather despite playing from behind for much of the contest. Purdy's lone turnover was unforced when the ball slipped out of his hand on a pass attempt and derailed a drive deep in San Francisco territory. Purdy may have lost yet another key weapon, as Christian McCaffrey (knee) was forced out of the contest at halftime and did not return. Purdy will benefit greatly from returning home to Santa Clara, CA when the 49ers enter a soft part of the schedule starting against the Bears next Sunday.

  • Josh Allen QB | BUF

    Bills' Josh Allen: Passing, rushing and receiving TDs

    Allen completed 13 of 17 passes for 148 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 35-10 win over the 49ers. He added three rushing attempts for 18 yards and a touchdown as well as a seven-yard receiving touchdown.

    Allen wasn't asked to do much with his arm as the Bills rode their running game and defense in snowy conditions, but he still got in on the fun with a seven-yard touchdown pass to Mack Hollins in the final minute of the first half. That touchdown pass was the 245th of Allen's regular-season Bills career, surpassing Jim Kelly for the most in franchise history. His next touchdown pass in the third quarter was also a memorable one, as Allen threw a pass to Amari Cooper, who then latereled to Allen for what went down as both a passing score and a seven-yard receiving touchdown (but not a reception) for the quarterback. Allen added the cherry on top with an eight-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. He has 20 passing touchdowns, six rushing touchdowns and now one receiving touchdown as well heading into a Week 14 road game against the Rams.

  • Bryce Young QB | CAR

    Panthers' Bryce Young: Another effective performance

    Young completed 26 of 46 passes for 298 yards, one touchdown and zero interceptions in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Buccaneers. He added three rushes for 17 yards and an additional touchdown.

    Young primarily got to his impressive yardage total based on volume rather than efficiency, but he continues to lead a competent Panthers offense. He accounted for the team's first touchdown himself by scrambling for a 10-yard rush midway through the second quarter. Young also had strong moments as a passer, including a 25-yard touchdown strike to Adam Thielen in the second half in addition to an impressive drive that resulted in a field goal which began with only 43 seconds remaining in the first half, during which he went 5-for-8 for 49 yards. Perhaps most importantly, Young continued to limit mistakes by not turning the ball over for the third straight game while also taking only one sack.

  • Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Struggles in win

    Mayfield completed 21 of 33 passes for 235 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 26-23 overtime win against the Panthers. He added three rushes for eight yards.

    Mayfield had a poor showing for much of the game, as he managed only two scoring drives through three quarters while going 10-for-21 with a two-yard touchdown, two interceptions and 121 yards. However, he closed the game by going 11-for-12 for 114 yards, while leading both a game-tying and game-winning drive at the close of the fourth quarter and overtime, respectively. Mayfield also played banged-up for much of the second half, which caused him to miss a few plays. Per Joe Person of The Athletic, he was also spotted with a boot on his right foot after the game.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Over 300 total yards in loss

    Jackson completed 23 of 36 pass attempts for 237 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 79 yards on eight attempts in Sunday's 24-19 loss to Philadelphia.

    Jackson did put two balls on the ground Sunday, but both were recovered by either himself or a teammate to stave off any potential turnovers. The dual-threat QB accounted for over 300 combined yards of offense for the seventh time this season. Despite suffering a hard-fought loss, Jackson remains one of the premier fantasy players across the NFL. The two-time MVP has thrown for 3,290 passing yards with 29 touchdowns to just three interceptions in addition to 678 yards and three more scores as a rusher through 13 games. The Ravens will lick their wounds from this battle of birds over the upcoming bye week before resuming play against the Giants on Dec. 15.

  • Brandon Allen QB | TEN

    49ers' Brandon Allen: Serving as emergency QB in Week 13

    Allen (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against Buffalo and will be the 49ers' emergency third quarterback, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Allen will drop to the No. 3 role at quarterback in Week 13 after completing 17 of 29 passes for 199 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the team's Week 12 loss to the Packers. Joshua Dobbs will operate in the backup role behind Brock Purdy versus the Bills.

  • Derek Carr QB | NO

    Saints' Derek Carr: Vanilla stats in losing effort

    Carr completed 24 of 37 pass attempts for 184 yards and a touchdown while rushing twice for 12 yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Rams.

    Carr finished with a mediocre fantasy score despite playing mistake-free football in Sunday's loss. The veteran signal-caller didn't hurt deep-league managers after turning in his fourth straight game with at least one touchdown pass and no turnovers. Carr will continue to scratch and claw at fleeting playoff hopes as the 4-8 Saints hit the road to face the Giants next Sunday.

  • Joshua Dobbs QB | NE

    49ers' Joshua Dobbs: Operating as No. 2 QB in Week 13

    Dobbs is active and will operate as the 49ers' top backup quarterback for Sunday night's matchup with the Bills, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Dobbs will take a step up on the depth chart in Week 13 to serve as the No. 2 QB, supplanting Brandon Allen to take over the backup role behind Brock Purdy, who's officially active after missing Week 12 with a shoulder injury.

  • Rams' Matthew Stafford: Rallies Rams for crucial victory

    Stafford completed 14 of 24 pass attempts for 183 yards and two touchdowns while taking four carries for three yards in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Saints.

    Stafford orchestrated a pair of fourth-quarter drives that resulted in touchdown passes to Demarcus Robinson (hand) and Puka Nacua, helping lift the Rams back to a .500 record on the season. The 36-year-old Stafford attempted his second-fewest passing attempts of the campaign, but he still helped fantasy managers with his fifth multi-score game over his last six appearances. Stafford and the Rams will prepare to host the Bills in Week 14 when the cross-conference squads meet next Sunday.

  • Jalen Hurts QB | PHI

    Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Posts passing and rushing TD in win

    Hurts completed 11 of 19 passes for 118 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Ravens. He added nine rushing attempts for 29 yards and a touchdown.

    Hurts threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Dallas Goedert (knee) in the second quarter, then added a one-yard rushing touchdown later in the first half to put the Eagles up 14-9. The rushing score came on a tush push, as Hurts fumbled the snap but picked it up and lunged over the goal line for his 12th rushing touchdown in as many games. Hurts surprisingly didn't find much traction through the air against Baltimore's struggling secondary, but the Eagles rode running back Saquon Barkley and the defense to an eighth consecutive win. Hurts' ability to produce with both his arm and legs will make him a strong fantasy option as usual in Week 14 against the Panthers, especially if the Eagles get wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) back from a two-game absence.
