Cousins completed 18 of 27 passes for 173 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Broncos. He also rushed once for no gain.

Cousins struggled as the Falcons posted a poor performance across the board before waving the white flag by inserting backup quarterback Michael Penix down 38-6 in the fourth quarter. The bigger long-term concern for Cousins could be the status of wide receiver Darnell Mooney, who exited in the third quarter due to a hamstring injury, though Atlanta's Week 12 bye could provide an opportunity for the team's leader in receiving yards to recover prior to a Week 13 home game against the Chargers. Cousins will look to bounce back post-bye after being held without a touchdown pass in each of the past two games.

Nix completed 28 of 33 passes for 307 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Falcons.

Nix set new single-game career highs in passing yards and touchdown passes as well as in completion percentage (85 percent) and passer rating (145). He threw a touchdown pass in each quarter, with a 12-yarder to Nate Adkins in the first, a 12-yarder to Marvin Mims in the second, a seven-yarder to Troy Franklin in the third and a 41-yarder to Lil'Jordan Humphrey in the fourth. Nix's four touchdown passes brought his season total up to 14, which tied the Broncos franchise rookie record set by Marlin Briscoe in 1968. The rookie first-round pick will look to take sole possession of that record during the Broncos' Week 12 trip to Vegas.

Mahomes completed 23 of 33 pass attempts for 196 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions without recording a carry in Sunday's 30-21 loss to Buffalo.

Mahomes threw a pair of interceptions that proved to be costly in Sunday's marquee matchup between superstar quarterbacks. While Josh Allen got the win for his club, Mahomes provided fantasy managers with his second game with three touchdown passes over the Chiefs' last three contests. In addition to this game representing Kansas City's first loss of the season, it was also Mahomes' first appearance in 2024 without recording a rushing attempt. No longer undefeated, Mahomes and the Chiefs should be locked in for a soft matchup against Carolina next Sunday.

Purdy completed 21 of 28 pass attempts for 159 yards, one touchdown and one interception while rushing five times for 40 yards and another touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Seattle.

Purdy did everything in his power to lift a shorthanded 49ers offense to victory with his arm and ability as a rusher. San Francisco's franchise quarterback fell short in his efforts, but fantasy managers benefited from his fourth rushing touchdown over a four-game span. Purdy's lone blemish Sunday was an interception that was deflected on an incredible leaping effort by Seattle corner Devon Witherspoon. The 24-year-old Purdy and the 49ers will have to hit the road following a tough loss to face the Packers in Lambeau next Sunday.

Minshew completed 30 of 43 passes for 282 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while adding two carries for seven yards in the Raiders' 34-19 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Minshew accumulated a season high in passing yards while mustering just his second multi-TD effort of the campaign. The veteran quarterback focused the overwhelming majority of his attention on Brock Bowers, who accounted for 13 of Minshew's completions on 16 targets. The remainder of Minshew's production was spread among six other pass catchers, and his pair of scoring tosses landed in the hands of Bowers (23 yards) and Ameer Abdullah (10 yards). Aidan O'Connell (IR, thumb) will remain out for several more weeks, so Minshew will be under center again for a tough Week 12 home matchup against the Broncos next Sunday.

Wilson completed 23 of 36 passes for 205 yards with an interception in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Ravens.

Both defenses came into the contest with similar ideas and mostly took away the deep passing game, but Wilson also squandered his one chance for a score with a red-zone INT in the fourth quarter. The veteran QB is still 4-0 since taking over the starting job from Justin Fields with a 6:2 TD:INT, and one lackluster performance won't put his job in jeopardy. Wilson will look to bounce back in Week 12 against the Browns.

Jackson completed 16 of 33 passes for 207 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Steelers. He added 46 rushing yards on four carries.

The Ravens arguably played well enough to win, but Justin Tucker missed two early field goals and Jackson wasn't able to hit on a two-point conversion attempt after leading a TD drive inside the final four minutes of the fourth quarter. It was the first time since Week 6 that Jackson had failed to produce multiple touchdowns, but a rebound effort in Week 12 isn't guaranteed, as he'll be taking on a stingy Chargers defense in the Harbaugh Bowl.

Carr completed 21 of 27 passes for 248 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 35-14 win over the Browns. He added eight yards on his only carry.

The veteran QB found Marquez Valdes-Scantling for another long touchdown, this one a 71-yard catch-and-run in the second quarter, and Carr also hit Juwan Johnson for a one-yard score in the fourth as the Saints put the game away. Carr has been efficient since returning from an oblique strain, posting a 66.3 percent completion rate, 5:0 TD:INT and 9.1 YPA in three games, and even with both Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) on IR he's stayed productive heading into New Orleans' Week 12 bye.

Maye completed 30 of 40 passes for 282 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Rams. He also rushed three times for 27 yards and lost a fumble.

Maye threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Kendrick Bourne in the first quarter and a four-yard touchdown pass to offensive lineman Vederian Lowe in the fourth. This was the third time in six starts that Maye mustered multiple touchdown passes, but the lack of talent around him continues to limit Maye's fantasy upside as he adjusts to the NFL. The third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft has much more value in dynasty and keeper formats than in redraft leagues considering he has as many turnovers as touchdown passes (nine), and Maye's fantasy upside will be limited in a Week 12 matchup against a stingy Dolphins secondary.

Jones completed 17 of 29 passes for 138 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while adding two rushes for seven yards in the Jaguars' 52-6 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Making his second straight spot start for Trevor Lawrence (shoulder), Jones was essentially as ineffective as he had been in Week 10 against the Vikings, with the exception being he threw one fewer interception. Otherwise, the 2021 first-round pick was completely incapable of helping the Jaguars keep up with a juggernaut of a Lions offense that failed to score only on a meaningless end-of-game drive. Jones unsurprisingly focused most of his attention on Brian Thomas and Evan Engram, but he figures to revert to a backup role for a Week 13 home matchup against the Texans on Sunday, Dec. 1 since Lawrence will likely have enough time to get healthy over the Week 12 bye.
