  • Daniel Jones QB | IND

    Colts' Daniel Jones: Modest showing in loss

    Jones completed 14 of 27 passes for 201 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Texans.

    Jones is reportedly playing through a fractured fibula, but he turned in a solid performance against one of the best pass defenses in the league. He continued to show strong rapport with Alec Pierce, as the duo connected for four gains of at least 18 yards, including a 19-yard touchdown. Jones later tallied his second score of the game on a 12-yard connection with Tyler Warren. Jones has only 399 yards combined across his last two games, though he's posted a 4:1 TD:INT heading into a far more favorable Week 14 matchup against the Jaguars.

  • Browns' Shedeur Sanders: Tosses TD in Week 13 loss

    Sanders completed 16 of 25 passes for 149 yards and a touchdown and added six rushing yards on his only carry in Sunday's 26-8 loss to the 49ers.

    Both teams' passing attacks struggled to deal with the high winds in Cleveland, and Sanders also briefly left the game in the fourth quarter to get checked out for an ankle injury, but the rookie played reasonably well while he was on the field. The Browns briefly held an 8-7 lead early in the second quarter when Sanders found Harold Fannin for a 34-yard touchdown that was then followed up by a Quinshon Judkins two-point conversion, but the Niners dominated the rest of the way. Per Zac Jackson of The Athletic, head coach Kevin Stefanski has already named Sanders his starting quarterback for a Week 14 tilt against the Titans in a game that could have big implications for the top of the 2026 NFL Draft.

  • C.J. Stroud QB | HOU

    Texans' C.J. Stroud: Strong effort in Week 13 return

    Stroud completed 22 of 35 passes for 276 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while rushing once for no gain in the Texans' 20-16 win over the Colts on Sunday.

    Stroud made his return from a three-game absence due to a concussion and looked very sharp despite the multi-game layoff, finishing with his second-highest passing yardage total of the season. He spread the ball around effectively to six different targets, and after rookie Jayden Higgins had built up plenty of momentum while working with Davis Mills in the previous three games, Stroud helped extend his strong stretch of play by connecting with him on five occasions for 65 yards. Now back to full health for the stretch run, Stroud figures to be busy once again in a Week 14 road showdown against the Chiefs next Sunday night.

  • Brock Purdy QB | SF

    49ers' Brock Purdy: Produces two TDs in win

    Purdy completed 16 of 29 passes for 168 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-8 win over the Browns. He added four rushing yards and a TD on two carries.

    High winds in Cleveland made passing difficult, but Purdy was able to connect with Jauan Jennings for a seven-yard score in the fourth quarter after the QB ran in a two-yard touchdown of his own in the third. The rushing score was Purdy's first in three starts since returning from a toe injury and is the best sign yet that he's fully healthy. He'll get a bye to rest up next week before the 49ers host the Titans in Week 15.

  • Will Howard QB | PIT

    Steelers' Will Howard: Available as emergency QB

    Howard (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Bills, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    The rookie quarterback would need starter Aaron Rodgers and backup Mason Rudolph to be unable to play due to injury, illness or ejection to get into the game. Howard was activated off injured reserve Nov. 12 after dealing with a fractured right hand, and he's been behind Rodgers and Rudolph ever since.

  • Raiders' Aidan O'Connell: Emergency QB3 for Week 13

    O'Connell (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Raiders' emergency third quarterback against the Chargers on Sunday.

    For a second straight week, O'Connell will be the Raiders' QB3 behind Geno Smith and Kenny Pickett. As the emergency quarterback, O'Connell is not allowed to play Sunday unless both Smith and Pickett were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

  • Jalen Milroe QB | SEA

    Seahawks' Jalen Milroe: Serving as emergency QB

    Milroe (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Vikings.

    The quarterback has been playing this role for much of the season as he remains behind Sam Darnold and Drew Lock on the depth chart. Milroe has only played on three offensive snaps as a rookie.

  • Kyler Murray QB | ARI

    Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Not yet fully healthy

    Murray is eligible to return from injured reserve Week 14, but he doesn't appear to be fully healed from his mid-foot sprain and appears unlikely to be activated ahead of next Sunday's game against the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    According to Rapoport, the Cardinals anticipated that Murray would be 100 percent healthy following a four-week stay on IR, but the signal-caller apparently hasn't responded as well to extended rest as the team believed he would. Jacoby Brissett thus appears poised to retain the starting job heading into Week 14, and given how well Brissett has performed over the last several weeks, the Cardinals may not have much motivation to reintegrate Murray down the stretch. Murray is guaranteed $36.8 million for the 2026 season, and Arizona will owe him another $19.5 million in salary for 2027 if he remains on the roster through March 16.

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Steelers' Aaron Rodgers: Some limitations

    Rodgers (wrist) will likely not line up under center in Sunday's game against the Bills, instead being deployed in shotgun and pistol formations, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.

    The idea behind this is that Rodgers will have less impact receiving the snap in his injured left wrist. This limitation might not be as significant as it might seem, because Rodgers already often is in shotgun or the pistol, more than other starting quarterbacks.

  • Buccaneers' Connor Bazelak: Emergency QB for Week 13

    Bazelak (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Buccaneers' emergency quarterback against the Cardinals on Sunday.

    The Bucs signed Bazelak from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday to give the team depth at quarterback in case Baker Mayfield (left shoulder) was inactive for Week 13. Mayfield has been cleared to play Sunday, and with Teddy Bridgewater serving as the backup, Bazelak will serve as the Buccaneers' emergency QB3. That means Bazelak is prohibited from playing unless both Mayfield and Bridgewater leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
