Mariota will start Sunday night's game against the Broncos after the Commanders ruled out Jayden Daniels (elbow), Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Even coming out of the Week 12 bye, Daniels isn't quite ready to return, so Mariota will make his sixth start of the season. Washington is just 1-4 in Mariota's starts this season, and he's completed 66 percent of his 140 pass attempts for 1,065 yards, seven touchdowns and five interceptions across seven total appearances. Mariota has added just 63 rushing yards and one touchdown on the ground. He's not a recommended fantasy target against Denver's elite defense.

Coach Dan Quinn said Friday that Daniels (left elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Daniels returned to the practice field this week for the first time since dislocating his left elbow Week 9 versus the Seahawks, but his limited listings Wednesday and Thursday weren't enough to put him in a position to suit up. Quinn added that Daniels has made "great progress" in his recovery, but the second-year signal-caller hasn't been cleared for contact yet, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. As a result, Marcus Mariota again will be under center for the Commanders this weekend, while Daniels' next chance for game action is Sunday, Dec. 7 at Minnesota.

Interim head coach Mike Kafka confirmed Friday that Dart (concussion) will start Monday's game at New England, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

The Giants announced Thursday on their first Week 13 injury report that Dart cleared the protocol for head injuries, setting him up for his first game action since a Week 10 loss in Chicago. In seven starts to begin his career, the rookie first-round pick has tossed multiple TDs on three occasions and also rushed for at least one TD in six of those outings. On Monday, Dart will be taking on a Patriots defense that has allowed the ninth-most passing scores (20) to opposing QBs in 12 contests this season.

Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Mayfield (shoulder) is trending in the right direction to start Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Bowles said Mayfield looked good during Friday's practice, though it's unclear if the QB did enough to be listed as a full participant. He was a limited participant Thursday, following a 'DNP' on Wednesday's practice estimate. Mayfield is gearing up to play through an AC joint sprain in his non-throwing shoulder.

Mills could return to backup quarterback duties if C.J. Stroud (concussion) continues to progress ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts.

Mills quarterbacked the Texans through three consecutive wins, putting the team back into the postseason conversation, but a cleared Stroud will resume his role as the starter, per Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. Stroud was a full participant for a second consecutive practice Thursday, improving his chances to come out of the NFL's concussion protocol. The consecutive practices followed by clearance from an independent neurologist is required for Stroud to be officially cleared to play.

Jackson completed 17 of 32 passes for 246 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while adding six rushes for 27 yards in the Ravens' 32-14 loss to the Bengals on Thursday night. He also committed two fumbles, losing both.

The combination of Jackson's final line and the game's final score underscore the fact he wasn't able to offset his multiple mistakes with enough big plays. The two-time MVP saw more than half his completions (nine) and 142 of his passing yards go to the tight-end duo of Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews, and two of his three turnovers led to a combined six points for Cincinnati. Jackson's passing yardage was his highest since Week 3, but he was clearly outplayed by Joe Burrow in the latter's return from a nine-game absence. The Ravens next face another divisional test at home, as the Steelers pay a visit for a Week 14 clash on Sunday, Dec. 7.

Burrow completed 24 of 46 passes for 261 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing three times for eight yards in the Bengals' 32-14 win over the Ravens on Thursday night.

Making his return from a nine-game absence, Burrow shook off rust as the game went on and put together a strong fantasy performance overall highlighted by 14- and 29-yard touchdown passes to Tanner Hudson and Andrei Iosivas, respectively. Burrow spread the ball around to nine different pass catchers overall, with Ja'Marr Chase unsurprisingly garnering the majority of his attention in the form of 14 targets in the absence of Tee Higgins (concussion). Burrow helped lead the Bengals to 20 second-half points and also benefited from a standout performance by his team's oft-maligned defense, infusing some badly needed momentum ahead of a Week 14 road showdown against Josh Allen and the Bills on Sunday, Dec. 7.

Prescott completed 27 of 39 passes for 320 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Thursday's 31-28 win over Kansas City. He also threw for a two-point conversion.

The veteran quarterback got picked off by Jaylen Watson on his second pass attempt of the afternoon, but from that point on Prescott was in firm control. Prescott capped the Cowboys' next drive with a 15-yard TD to CeeDee Lamb, then put his team in the lead for good early in the fourth quarter with a three-yard score to Javonte Williams. Prescott has thrown multiple TDs in three straight games as Dallas keeps its playoff hopes alive, posting an 8:2 TD:INT over that stretch, but he'll likely need to be sharp again Week 14 in another potential barn burner against Detroit.

Mahomes completed 23 of 34 passes for 261 yards and four touchdowns in Thursday's 31-28 loss to the Cowboys. He added 30 rushing yards on three carries.

It was a vintage performance from Mahomes, who hit Rashee Rice for a pair of TDs while also finding Travis Kelce and Hollywood Brown for scores, but it wasn't quite enough to pull off a win in Dallas. It's the second four-TD performance of the season for Mahomes, and it came in tough circumstances as both his starting tackles, Jawaan Taylor (elbow) and Josh Simmons (wrist), left the game and didn't return. At 6-6, Kansas City's playoff hopes are fading fast, and Mahomes will face a daunting matchup Week 14 to try and keep them alive against the Texans' elite defense.

Rush (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Bengals but will serve as the Ravens' emergency third quarterback.

Rush will once again serve as the Ravens' emergency QB3 behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. That means Rush is restricted from playing Thursday unless both Jackson and Huntley were to be removed from the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
