  • Rams' Stetson Bennett: Emergency QB3 for SNF

    Bennett (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Bucs but will serve as the emergency third quarterback.

    Bennett will only see the field if both Matthew Stafford and Jimmy Garoppolo suffer injuries. Bennett has yet to appear in a regular-season NFL contest through three seasons.

  • Sam Darnold QB | SEA

    Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Bounces back in Week 12 win

    Darnold completed 16 of 26 passes for 244 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Titans.

    Darnold bounced back from a terrible performance against the Rams and delivered an efficient stat line in a favorable matchup. He unsurprisingly found most of his success when targeting Jaxon Smith-Njigba, connecting with his star receiver for long gains of 63 and 56 yards -- the former of which went for a touchdown -- in addition to a 13-yard score. While Darnold has performed well for the majority of the season, the Seahawks still prefer to rely on their running game and defense to win games, limiting Darnold's pass attempts. He's now failed to reach 30 pass attempts in three of his last four games, making him very reliant upon big plays and touchdowns to deliver good fantasy lines.

  • Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Zero TDs in OT win

    Mahomes completed 29 of 46 passes for 352 yards and zero touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win over the Colts. He added 30 rushing yards on four carries and threw a two-point conversion.

    The yardage total was a season high as Mahomes led a fourth-quarter comeback from a 20-9 deficit, but Kareem Hunt had Kansas City's only TD while Harrison Butker booted five field goals. Mahomes has a concerning 1:3 TD:INT over the last three games, but Sunday's win could be the spark the team needed to turn things around. He'll likely need to be more productive in Week 13 for a Thanksgiving tilt against the Cowboys.

  • Tyrod Taylor QB | NYJ

    Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Throws one TD pass in Week 12 loss

    Taylor completed 17 of 28 pass attempts for 222 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens. He also rushed five times for 19 yards.

    Taylor made his second start of the season, this time as a result of Justin Fields being benched. Taylor connected with John Metchie for a 13-yard touchdown in the second quarter, and Taylor's interception came on a meaningless deep heave on the game's final play. The Jets' passing game was noticeably more effective with Taylor after Fields threw for 116 yards or fewer in four of his last five starts prior to losing his starting role. While the team's quarterback situation remains fluid heading into a Week 13 home game against the Falcons, Taylor likely cleared the low bar needed to earn another start.

  • Jared Goff QB | DET

    Lions' Jared Goff: Tosses two TDs in OT win

    Goff completed 28 of 42 passes for 279 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 34-27 overtime win over the Giants.

    The veteran QB struggled early, but Goff led the Lions to 10 points in the fourth quarter to complete a late comeback, before Jahmyr Gibbs broke free for a 69-yard touchdown run on the first play of OT. Goff has an 8:2 TD:INT in four games since Detroit's bye, but he'll face what should be a tougher test in Week 13 during a Thanksgiving clash with the Packers.

  • Caleb Williams QB | CHI

    Bears' Caleb Williams: Leads Bears to another victory

    Williams completed 19 of 35 passes for 239 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions while adding four rushes for 21 yards in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

    Williams wasn't at his most efficient, but he still put together a rewarding fantasy effort thanks to his trio of scoring tosses. The 2024 first overall pick connected with DJ Moore (five, 25 yards) and Colston Loveland (12 yards) for his touchdown passes, recording his fourth multi-TD effort through the air this season. There's no question head coach Ben Johnson's tutelage and scheme have both done plenty to advance Williams' game in the latter's sophomore NFL campaign, but he'll still head into a Week 13 road showdown against the Eagles on Black Friday completing just 59.2 percent of his passes through 11 games.

  • Mason Rudolph QB | PIT

    Steelers' Mason Rudolph: Comes up short in spot start

    Rudolph completed 24 of 31 passes for 171 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Bears. He added three rushes for seven yards while also losing a fumble.

    Rudolph drew a spot start with Aaron Rodgers (wrist) sidelined and managed to move the Steelers' offense fairly effectively, leading three touchdown drives. His lone passing score came on a short six-yard swing pass to DK Metcalf, and he was generally most comfortable working in short areas of the field. That led to a mediocre fantasy performance, and Rudolph's effort also came up short on the field after a critical lost fumble late in the third quarter that changed the momentum of the game. Head coach Mike Tomlin indicated after the game that Rodgers is likely to return in Week 13 against Buffalo, per Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site, meaning Rudolph will likely return to the bench.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Quiet in win over Jets

    Jackson completed 13 of 23 passes for 153 yards and rushed seven times for 11 yards, without a touchdown or turnover, in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Jets.

    Jackson had only 59 passing yards and seven rushing yards in the first half as the Ravens took a 7-3 deficit into the locker room. The Ravens were only marginally better on offense in the second half but pulled ahead with a pair of short Derrick Henry touchdown runs in the third quarter and improved to 6-5 despite Jackson's modest output. Jackson has averaged just 181.5 passing yards and 17.8 rushing yards per game in four starts since returning from a one-month absence due to a hamstring injury. He'll have a nice opportunity to pick up the pace Thanksgiving night against the generous Bengals defense.

  • Daniel Jones QB | IND

    Colts' Daniel Jones: Modest numbers in OT loss

    Jones completed 19 of 31 passes for 181 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding three carries for 16 yards in the Colts' 23-20 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Jones was under 200 passing yards for the first time all season, but he offset the downturn with his first multi-touchdown-pass effort in the last three games. Jones connected with Michael Pittman and Drew Ogletree for scoring tosses of six and four yards, respectively, yet the majority of his success came during the first two quarters. Jones led Indianapolis to only six points after halftime, a key in the Chiefs mounting a comeback from a 20-9 deficit. The veteran signal-caller draws a tough matchup next week as well, as the Texans drop in for a key AFC South clash next Sunday.

  • Joe Flacco QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Flacco: Quiet day in loss to Pats

    Flacco completed 19 of 37 passing for 183 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Patriots. He added three yards on his lone carry.

    The 40-year-old quarterback was held in check most of the day by the New England defense, but Flacco did find Mitchell Tinsley for a 17-yard score with less than five minutes left in the fourth quarter as the Bengals tried to mound a comeback. Flacco did leave the game briefly just prior to tossing the TD in order to to get checked out for a finger issue, but his health may not be a major concern for the Bengals in Week 13 if Joe Burrow (toe) is ready to return for a Thanksgiving clash with the Ravens. In six games for Cincinnati this season, Flacco compiled 1,636 passing yards with a 13:4 TD:INT.
