  • Russell Wilson QB | NYG

    Steelers' Russell Wilson: Lights up Bengals' secondary

    Wilson completed 29 of 38 passes for 414 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 44-38 win over the Bengals.

    Wilson got off to a rough start, as his fourth pass attempt of the game was picked and returned for a score. However, he was nearly mistake-free from there, completing nine passes of 20 yards or more en route to averaging 10.9 yards per attempt. Wilson also threw for multiple scores, which came from 17, 23 and 25 yards away, for the first time since Week 10. Despite the strong showing, Wilson remains a risky fantasy option reliant upon strong efficiency, as this marked just the second time in six starts that he's attempted 30 passes.

  • Brock Purdy QB | SF

    49ers' Brock Purdy: Active, as expected, Sunday

    Purdy (shoulder) is listed as active Sunday at Buffalo, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

    Prior to sitting out last Sunday's loss at Green Bay, Purdy barely threw as he dealt with soreness in his right throwing shoulder. He kicked off Week 13 prep in a similar manner to one week prior, but he progressed enough as the week went on to log a full practice Friday and have coach Kyle Shanahan state that the quarterback would return to action Sunday, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. Still, Purdy carried a questionable designation into the weekend. Late Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Purdy didn't endure any setbacks Friday or Saturday and was expected to reclaim his starting gig, which now has been confirmed. The 5-6 49ers must win to keep pace in the NFC West, as the Seahawks took down the Jets on Sunday to get to 7-5, the Cardinals lost at Minnesota to fall to 6-6, and the Rams won in New Orleans to improve to 6-6. As a result, Purdy's presence is key for San Francisco's playoff push.

  • Joe Burrow QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Burrow: Another excellent stat line

    Burrow completed 28 of 38 passes for 309 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 44-38 loss to the Steelers. He added two rushes for nine yards.

    Burrow led another comeback effort that fell short, this time throwing a pair of touchdowns from one and three yards away in the game's final eight minutes. He also completed four passes of at least 20 yards, all of which came in the game's final two quarters. While the effort marked his third straight game with more than 300 yards and fourth straight contest with at least three passing scores, Burrow did make a few critical errors by throwing a pick and losing a pair of fumbles -- the worst of which was a lost fumble that was returned for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter.

  • Drake Maye QB | NE

    Patriots' Drake Maye: Interception streak at five games

    Maye completed 24 of 30 passes for 238 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Colts. He added 59 rushing yards on five carries and threw a two-point conversion.

    It was a mostly efficient performance from the rookie quarterback, but Maye's red-zone INT late in the third quarter ended up being very costly in a one-point loss. He's been picked off at least once in five straight games, posting a 6:6 TD:INT over that stretch, but growing pains are to be expected from the third overall pick in the 2024 Draft. Maye will get a chance to regroup during the Patriots' Week 14 bye.

  • Geno Smith QB | LV

    Seahawks' Geno Smith: Modest numbers against former team

    Smith completed 20 of 31 passes for 206 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Jets. He also rushed twice for two yards.

    Smith threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to AJ Barner in the second quarter but finished the first half with just 87 passing yards as the Seahawks took a 21-16 deficit into the locker room despite scoring a defensive touchdown. Seattle came back in the second half thanks to some well-timed penalties on the Jets defense, but Smith didn't produce another score through the air against his former team and finished with his lowest passing yardage total since Week 1. Up next for Smith and the NFC West-leading Seahawks is a pivotal Week 14 road matchup against the Cardinals.

  • Jayden Daniels QB | WAS

    Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Four total TDs in easy win

    Daniels completed 25 of 30 passes for 206 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 42-19 win over the Titans. He added nine rushing attempts for 34 yards and a touchdown.

    Daniels gave the Commanders a 14-0 lead with a three-yard rushing touchdown, then doubled that first-half advantage with touchdown passes of 16 and three yards to Terry McLaurin. The rookie second overall pick missed only one of his 15 first-half pass attempts but was picked off in the third quarter as the Titans cut what was once a 28-point Washington lead to 28-13 heading into the fourth quarter. He bounced back with a four-yard touchdown pass to Zach Ertz early in the fourth to snuff out any hopes of a Tennessee comeback. Daniels has thrown 15 touchdown passes and run in six touchdowns to lead the Commanders to an 8-5 record heading into their Week 14 bye.

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Throws pick-six in loss to Seattle

    Rodgers completed 21 of 39 passes for 185 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks. He added two rushing attempts for six yards.

    Rodgers has been playing through injuries to his legs but looked much more spry coming out of the Week 12 bye, extending plays with his legs and even throwing a block on a reverse in the first quarter. He also threw a pair of short first-quarter touchdown passes (eight yards to Davante Adams and four yards to Isaiah Davis). Rodgers should have had his third touchdown of the first half in the second quarter, but he overthrew a wide open Garrett Wilson in the end zone, then tossed a pick-six on the very next play. That interception turned the tide, kicking off a 19-0 Seattle run to end the game. The nearly 41-year-old quarterback is considered a longshot to return to the Jets next season, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, but Rodgers should remain the starter for the remainder of the 2024 campaign, which will continue with a Week 14 road game in Miami.

  • Colts' Anthony Richardson: Plays hero in New England

    Richardson completed 12 of 24 passes for 109 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions in Sunday's 25-24 win over the Patriots. He added 48 yards and a touchdown on nine carries, and also ran in a two-point conversion.

    That two-point conversion came with 12 seconds left in the fourth quarter, after Richardson had led a five-minute scoring drive that he capped with a three-yard TD pass to Alec Pierce on fourth down. A poor completion rate is simply part of the package with the second-year QB at this stage of his development, but there's no denying Richardson's athletic upside, and since reclaiming the starting job for the Colts he's produced six touchdowns (three passing, three rushing) in three games. The Colts are on bye in Week 14, giving Richardson time to recharge ahead of the team's final push for the playoffs.

  • C.J. Stroud QB | HOU

    Texans' C.J. Stroud: Solid performance in Week 13 win

    Stroud completed 22 of 34 passes for 242 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions and added five rushes for seven yards in the Texans' 23-20 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Stroud put together a solid performance that saw him spread the ball around to seven different targets and put together his first interception-free effort in the last four games. Stroud connected with Dalton Schultz from 22 yards out early in the fourth quarter for his only touchdown of the game, and he's now thrown for at least 232 yards in four consecutive contests while generating a 4:5 TD:INT in that same span. Stroud and the Texans next host the Dolphins for a Week 15 matchup Sunday, Dec. 15 following a Week 14 bye.

  • Sam Darnold QB | SEA

    Vikings' Sam Darnold: Leads big comeback Sunday

    Darnold completed 21 of 31 passes for 235 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 23-22 win over the Cardinals. He added 22 rushing yards on four carries.

    The Vikings were in a 19-6 hole late in the third quarter as Darnold struggled to find time in the pocket, but the QB led an impressive late comeback, hitting Johnny Mundt for a four-yard score just before the end of the third and then connecting with Aaron Jones on a five-yard TD with only 1:13 left in the fourth. It's the fifth time in the last six games that Darnold has tossed multiple TDs, a stretch in which he's posted an 11:5 TD:INT. He'll look to keep rolling, and keep the Vikings on track for the playoffs, in Week 14 against the Falcons.
