Walker replaced Dorian Thompson-Robinson (concussion) in the third quarter of Sunday's 29-12 loss to the Broncos and completed six of 13 passes for 56 yards. He also committed two fumbles, losing one, and was sacked in the end zone for a safety.

It was a poor day overall for Cleveland quarterbacks, as the duo of Thompson-Robinson and Walker combined for a 47.6 percent completion rate, a 4.5 YPA and just 190 total passing yards. The 28-year-old former Panther has seen significant action in four games this season, managing only one TD pass while committing seven turnovers, but if Thompson-Robinson isn't able to clear the league's concussion protocol by next Sunday, Walker will be the Browns' only option under center in Week 13 against the Rams.

Mahomes completed 27 of 34 pass attempts for 298 yards and a pair of touchdowns with no turnovers in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Raiders. He added nine rushing yards on five attempts.

Mahomes actually got off to a slow start despite finishing with a nearly flawless passing line. Kansas City ran just three plays on offense in the first quarter and did not convert a first down until its third possession Sunday. That's around when Mahomes woke up and went on a furious tear that produced three consecutive touchdown drives in just under 12 minutes of game time. The 28-year-old has now thrown multiple touchdowns in three straight games after hitting a bit of a rough patch midseason. It was also the star QB's first game without a turnover since Week 3 against Chicago. Mahomes will face a stiffer test on the road against the Packers next Sunday, but the Chiefs' offense appears to be back on track as they inch closer to the playoffs.

Murray completed 27 of 45 passes for 256 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and added a two-yard score on his only rush in the Cardinals' 37-14 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Murray's final stat line was perfectly serviceable from a fantasy perspective, but as the final score indicates, it didn't translate the same way on the field. Murray was able to pad his numbers late with a 10-play, 75-yard scoring after the game was already decided, and he did manage to record both a passing and rushing touchdown for the 18th time in his career. Murray has thrown for over 200 yards in each of his first three games of the season, but his almost complete lack of rushing yardage Sunday dragged down his overall fantasy ceiling for the afternoon. Murray and the Cardinals will look to regroup in a Week 13 road matchup against the Steelers.

Stafford completed 25 of 33 passes for 229 yards with four touchdowns and one interception in the Rams' 37-14 win over the Cardinals on Sunday. He also rushed once for two yards.

Stafford's yardage total wasn't particularly remarkable, but his four-touchdown afternoon made the veteran quarterback an unlikely fantasy star in Week 12. Stafford's multi-touchdown tally was only his second of the season and consisted of scoring tosses to Tyler Higbee (seven, five yards) and Kyren Williams (15, three yards) while pushing his season-long total to 13 in 10 games. Making Stafford's prolific scoring day all the more remarkable was the fact it didn't come with the aid of noteworthy performances from either Cooper Kupp or Puka Nacua, and he'll now look to put together a successful encore in a Week 13 home matchup against a Browns defense that's been much more generous against the pass on the road.

Zappe completed nine of 14 passes for 54 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 10-7 loss to the Giants.

After Mac Jones threw two interceptions in the first half, Zappe was called upon to lead New England's offense for the final two quarters. Zappe took better care of the ball but was otherwise uninspiring, as he averaged only 3.9 yards per attempt and his longest completion went for 15 yards -- nearly all of which came after the catch. It's unclear who will be under center for New England in Week 13 against the Chargers, as both Zappe and Jones have had problems effectively moving the offense.

Thompson-Robinson was diagnosed with a concussion after exiting Sunday's game in Denver, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports.

Thompson-Robinson left the contest late in the third quarter after enduring a roughing the passer penalty from Broncos linebacker Baron Browning. With a concussion confirmed, Thompson-Robinson will end Week 12 with 134 yards and a touchdown on 14-for-29 passing and five carries for 21 yards. He'll yield the Browns offense to PJ Walker for the rest of Sunday's outing.

Thompson-Robinson is being evaluated for a head injury during Sunday's game against the Broncos, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

Prior to his exit from the contest, Thompson-Robinson had completed 14 of 29 pass attempts for 134 yards and a TD and rushed five times for 21 yards. In his absence, PJ Walker is in at quarterback for the Browns.

Ridder completed 13 of 21 passes for 168 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions and added 30 rushing yards on seven carries in the Falcons' 24-15 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Ridder's return to the starting job was far from crisp, with the second-year signal-caller posting his third multi-interception tally of the campaign. However, Ridder was able to leverage his ground game, defense and a depleted Saints offense to help lead the Falcons to a much-needed win while failing to reach the 200-yard mark for the third time in a full game this season. Ridder showed very good rapport with top target Drake London and threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to Bijan Robinson, but otherwise, the remaining Atlanta players that caught a pass combined for just five receptions and 45 yards. Ridder will aim to contribute much more through the air in a tough matchup against a stingy Jets secondary in a Week 13 road clash.

Hill caught both of his targets for 55 yards and rushed seven times for 26 yards during Sunday's 24-15 loss to the Falcons.

Hill once again showed his value across the offense, including catching a season-long 36-yard reception on a deep pass from Derek Carr in the first quarter. As a result, the versatile tight end logged the Saints' second-most receiving yards behind wideout Chris Olave (114), who was forced out with a concussion during the third quarter. Hill also recorded the team's second-most rushing attempts behind Alvin Kamara (15). However, Hill cost his team dearly when he fumbled after a 10-yard gain into the red zone just before the end of the third quarter. While the 33-year-old rarely grabs the limelight as either a receiver or rusher, his continuous ability to contribute in both phases merits attention from fantasy managers. With Michael Thomas (knee) already on injured reserve, Hill's receiving production could increase if Olave and/or wideout Rashid Shaheed (thigh) are sidelined versus Detroit in Week 13.

Lawrence completed 23 of 38 passes for 364 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Texans. He also rushed twice for zero yards and one rushing touchdown, in addition to throwing a two-point conversion.

Lawrence's one-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter came one play after a third-down defensive pass interference penalty in the end zone kept Jacksonville's offense on the field. After failing to post a rushing score through nine games, Lawrence has three rushing touchdowns in the last two games. He also connected with Calvin Ridley for a one-yard touchdown and a two-point conversion to take the lead in the third quarter. Lawrence got off to a slow start in 2023, but he set a new season high in passing yards in this game and has picked up the pace as both a passer and a rusher heading into a Week 13 home game against a Bengals team that's playing without Joe Burrow (wrist).
