Nix completed 25 of 42 pass attempts for 273 yards and two touchdowns (with no turnovers) while rushing for five yards on his only carry in Sunday's 29-19 win over the Raiders.

Nix maintained the momentum from his career-best performance last week with another clean win while throwing multiple touchdown passes. The rookie quarterback has been developing quickly with 11 touchdowns to just one interception over his last five contests. Nix will lead a 7-5 Broncos squad into Week 13 for a home tilt against the Browns on Monday Night Football.

Minshew is expected to miss the rest of the 2024 season after fracturing his collarbone in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 29-19 loss to the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Minshew broke his collarbone while being sacked late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game and was replaced by Desmond Ridder. Per Tashan Reed of The Athletic, the Raiders could activate Aidan O'Connell (thumb) from injured reserve Week 13, but for now, Ridder profiles as the leading candidate to take over as the team's starting quarterback beginning with Friday's game at Kansas City. Minshew will end the season having completed 66.3 percent of his passes for 2,013 yards, nine touchdowns and 10 interceptions while adding 58 yards on 19 carrries across 10 appearances (eight starts).

Head coach Antonio Pierce told reporters after Sunday's 29-19 loss to the Broncos that Minshew's left shoulder injury "doesn't look good," and the quarterback will need further testing to determine the severity of the injury, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Minshew injured his left shoulder on a sack late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. He went to the locker room and did not return, with backup Desmond Ridder taking over under center for the rest of the contest. The Raiders' next game is Friday against the Chiefs, and Pierce relayed there is a chance Aidan O'Connell (thumb) could be activated from injured reserve and suit up for Week 13 if Minshew cannot play, per Tashan Reed of The Athletic.

Minshew suffered a left shoulder injury during Sunday's contest versus the Broncos.

Minshew was sacked three times before he exited in the fourth quarter, the last of which caused his shoulder to be driven into the turf and left him in clear discomfort. He then went to the locker room, where the team deemed him questionable to return. He wasn't able to do so, finishing Week 12 with 230 yards, one touchdown and one interception on 25-for-42 passing and two carries for five yards. Desmond Ridder took over for Minshew under center.

Williams completed 32 of 47 passes for 340 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Vikings. He added six rushes for 33 yards.

The Bears were playing from behind for the entire second half, which led to Williams' second-highest pass attempt total of his rookie season. While that aided his stat line, there were plenty of positives to take from his performance, including six completions of at least 20 yards. He also recorded his first passing score since Week 6, connecting with DJ Moore and Keenan Allen for 10- and one-yard touchdowns, respectively. Willams is likely to experience more inconsistency to close the season, though he has averaged a respectable 7.3 yards per attempt in two games since the Bears have changed offensive coordinators.

DeVito completed 21 of 31 passes for 189 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and added seven rushes for 32 yards in the Giants' 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

DeVito managed to stay away from any turnovers, but he took four sacks and wasn't able to lead the Giants to any points until the game was out of reach in the fourth quarter. DeVito did eventually demonstrate some solid chemistry with top two receivers Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson, with whom he connected for 11 completions and 111 yards. With his first game action since last season now under his belt, DeVito will look to put together a more complete performance in a Week 13 road matchup against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day, although after exiting the game for a play in the fourth quarter following a hard hit, it remains to be seen if he'll have to work through an injury on the short week.

McKee (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.

McKee will once again serve as the Eagles' emergency quarterback, which means he would only play Sunday if Jalen Hurts and Kenny Pickett were both taken out of the game due to injury.

Rush completed 24 of 32 passes for 247 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and netted one yard on four rushes in the Cowboys' 34-26 win over the Commanders on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.

Rush was able to put together a successful, turnover-free encore to his season-high 354-yard tally on Monday night against the Texans, posting his first multi-TD tally in the process. The veteran backup connected for both of his scoring tosses in the second half, hitting Jalen Tolbert (six yards) and Luke Schoonmaker (22 yards) with end-zone strikes in the third and fourth quarters, respectively. Rush may be settling into a rhythm now that he's gotten a few games under his belt, and he'll head into a Week 13 Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Giants with momentum on his side.

Darnold completed 22 of 34 passes for 330 yards with two touchdowns and zero interceptions in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win against the Bears.

Darnold crushed the Bears with deep pass attempts, as he tallied three completions of at least 40 yards and seven of at least 20. That led to his first 300-yard passing game of the season, though he was aided by overtime to get there. Darnold also tacked on passing scores from two and five yards away, marking his fourth multi-touchdown effort in six games since Minnesota's bye. After a brief shaky stretch, Darnold has returned to form as a solid fantasy contributor.

Daniels completed 25 of 38 passes for 275 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions while adding seven rushes for 74 yards and another score in the Commanders' 34-26 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

For the second time this season, Daniels' passing yardage total received a serious boost from a chunk play in a game's final seconds, as the rookie connected with Terry McLaurin for an 86-yard touchdown pass with 21 seconds remaining that closed Washington's deficit to one point at the time. Prior to that throw, Daniels had struggled against an aggressive Cowboys defense that was able to sack him on four occasions and pick him off in Dallas territory in the first half. Daniels' rushing yardage total was his highest since Week 5, while his tally through the air was his best since he threw for 326 yards against the Bears with the help of a game-winning Hail Mary in Week 8. Daniels projects to have another tough challenge on his hands when the Commanders host the Titans in a Week 13 home matchup.
