Allen completed seven of 15 passes for 94 yards and a touchdown while rushing eight times for 24 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Cowboys.

Allen put the Bills up 14-0 with an 18-yard touchdown pass to James Cook in the second quarter, then extended Buffalo's advantage to 21-3 with a one-yard touchdown run 1:36 before halftime. The star quarterback came up short of 100 passing yards for the first time since the final game of the 2019 regular season, as Cook led the way with 211 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns. Allen produced at least one touchdown each with his arm and legs in the same game for the ninth time this season, and he's up to 26 passing touchdowns and 11 rushing touchdowns heading into Saturday's road game against the Chargers.

Purdy completed 16 of 25 pass attempts for 242 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 45-29 rout over the Cardinals.

Purdy was forced to leave the game in the second quarter with a shoulder stinger to his non-throwing arm, but he was cleared to return after missing just a handful of snaps, as reported by David Lombardi of The Athletic. The overacheiving sophomore confirmed his good health by throwing two of his four touchdowns in the second half of the win over the Cardinals. This was the third time this season that Purdy has thrown four touchdowns to no turnovers, with Sunday's coming at a clutch time for fantasy managers currently in the playoffs. Purdy will look to strengthen his mounting MVP bid in a home matchup against the Ravens on Monday Night Football in Week 16.

Mahomes completed 27 of 37 passes for 305 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Patriots.

Kansas City was down 14-10 at halftime, but Mahomes shifted into high gear in the third quarter, leading his team on three scoring drives that included a six-yard TD pass to Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Neither pick can be blamed on Mahomes, either -- one was a result of a bobbled pass by Kadarius Toney, while the other saw rookie linebacker Marte Mapu rip the ball away from Noah Gray. It's only the fourth time this season Mahomes has thrown for more than 300 yards, and the first since Week 7. He'll look to produce big numbers again in Week 16 against a Raiders defense he racked up 298 yards and two TDs against in their first meeting this year.

Hill failed to complete his lone passing attempt and logged one rush for one yard while catching his only target for a four-yard reception during Sunday's 24-6 victory over the Giants.

Hill had a very quiet outing Sunday after sitting out last week with foot and left hand injuries. When healthy this season, the 33-year-old has played a key role as a physical, bruising rusher behind running back Alvin Kamara. Instead, No. 2 running back Jamaal Williams carried the load with eight carries behind Kamara's 16 on Sunday. Hill logged his lone passing attempt, rush and target during the first half, as it appears the team didn't want to push him too hard during his first game back. His lone contribution in the second half came when he returned a kickoff for 18 yards. Hill should have an opportunity put up more production while serving his usual multi-purpose role when the Saints next play versus the Rams on Thursday Night Football.

Prescott completed 21 of 34 passes for 134 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Bills. He added four rushes for 27 yards.

Prescott turned in an underwhelming performance against the Bills and had only 43 passing yards on 13 attempts at halftime. He used a garbage-time drive late in the fourth quarter to pad his yardage total, but he still averaged only 3.9 yards per attempt and was held without multiple touchdowns for the first time since Week 6. Prescott was one of the leading MVP candidates entering this game, so there's a strong chance he'll be able to put this performance behind him as he leads the Cowboys into a Week 16 matchup against the Dolphins.

Ridder completed 12 of 20 passes for 157 yards with one touchdown and one interception and netted minus-2 yards on five rush attempts in the Falcons' 9-7 loss to the Panthers on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Atlanta.

A week after throwing for a career-high 347 yards against the Buccaneers, Ridder's production took a steep drop on a rainy afternoon in Carolina. The second-year signal-caller finished well under the 200-yard mark for the third time in four games since returning to the top of the depth chart, and the only highlight of his day was a two-yard touchdown pass to Cordarrelle Patterson in the latter portion of the second quarter. Ridder's hold on the starting job could be somewhat shaky once again following Sunday's performance, and if he remains under center, he'll face an aggressive Colts defense in a Week 16 home matchup.

Flacco completed 28 of 44 passes for 374 yards and two touchdowns with three interceptions in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bears.

The three INTs included a pick-six by Tremaine Edmunds on Flacco's first pass attempt of the second half, and the miscues helped dig a 17-7 hole for the Browns heading into the fourth quarter. The 38-year-old QB put together an impressive comeback in the final frame, however, leading Cleveland on three scoring drives that included a 51-yard TD pass to Amari Cooper. The 374 passing yards were Flacco's highest total in a game since Week 2 of the 2018 season, his final campaign with the Ravens. Firmly entrenched as the Browns' starting QB, he'll look to lead the team to a third straight win in Week 16 against the Texans in a game that could have big implications for the AFC playoff picture.

Fields completed 19 of 40 passes for 166 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Browns. He added 30 rushing yards on seven carries.

The third-year quarterback could have had an even worse day, as he fumbled the ball twice but the Bears retained possession both times. Fields did hit Cole Kmet for a five-yard TD in the first quarter and had Chicago out front 17-7 in the third quarter, and he very nearly pulled off a miracle win in the dying seconds with a Hail Mary that fell to Darnell Mooney, only for the wideout to knock the ball into the air for an INT. Performances like this won't help Fields secure a starting job in 2024, whether with the Bears or for another team, but he'll have a chance to make a better impression in Week 16 against the Cardinals.

Young completed 18 of 24 passes for 167 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed four times for nine yards in the Panthers' 9-7 win over the Falcons on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.

Young oversaw another mostly abysmal offensive day for the Panthers, but he at least managed to avoid turnovers and was able to help guide his team to just their second win of the campaign with five completions on a game-winning 17-play march. The rookie first overall pick hit eight different targets overall, despite the fact his pass-attempt total was the lowest of his brief career. Young's efficiency was an especially welcome sight after he completed just 41.8 percent of his passes over the previous pair of contests, and he'll aim to carry over the momentum into a Week 16 home matchup against the Packers on Christmas Eve.

Keenum completed 23 of 36 passes for 229 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 19-16 win over Tennessee.

Keenum drew the start with C.J. Stroud (concussion) sidelined and overcame a poor first half, during which he threw for only 83 yards and also had a pick-six. His overall stat line remained relatively uninspiring, but he led a pair of late drives to deliver a win. The first came late in the fourth quarter, when Keenum went 5-for-6 for 56 yards and a three-yard passing touchdown. He then completed a key pass late in overtime to set up the game-winning field goal. While Stroud still needs to clear concussion protocols, he is likely to be available for a Week 16 matchup against the Browns, which would shift Keenum back to the bench.
