Wilson completed 26 of 38 pass attempts for 222 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs. He added 27 rushing yards and two touchdowns on four attempts.

After a disastrous Week 16, Wilson bounced back with his second solid fantasy performance against Kansas City this season. Prior to Sunday, the veteran rushed for just one touchdown all season. Wilson's mobility has always been a major part of his game, so the use of his legs to find the end zone was certainly a welcome sight. With that said, the Broncos have a lot to figure out on offense ahead of next season with Wilson at the helm. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Wilson plans to examine his preparation and offseason routine to avoid having another disappointing season. If the 34-year-old signal caller can stack this outing with another strong fantasy performance in Week 18 against the Chargers, it may give fantasy managers a glimmer of hope for Wilson to have a possible resurgence next season.

Mahomes completed 29 of 42 passes for 328 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in the Chiefs' 27-24 win over the Broncos on Sunday. He also rushed four times for eight yards.

The final numbers were par for the course for Mahomes, but the way he got there was a bit different from the norm. Kadarius Toney actually served as the receiving yardage leader for Kansas City on the afternoon, while Jerick McKinnon (six, three yards) and Blake Bell (17 yards) were on the receiving end of Mahomes' touchdown passes. Mahomes' three scoring tosses pushed him to 40 on the season -- the second-highest total of his career -- and served as his fourth straight multi-touchdown tally. The Chiefs remained alive for the top seed in the AFC with Sunday's win, so Mahomes and his diverse array of skill-position weapons project to be deployed as usual in a Week 18 divisional road matchup against the Raiders.

Goff completed 21 of 29 passes for 255 yards with three touchdowns while rushing once for two yards during Sunday's 41-10 win over Chicago.

While fantasy managers would have preferred the Bears to do their part in turning this meeting between two bad defenses into a shootout, Goff again diced up the Chicago secondary after shredding them to the tune of 9.1 yards per pass attempt in Week 10. He also kept things clean while going an eighth consecutive game without throwing an interception. With Detroit yet to secure a playoff bid, look for Goff and the Lions to again come out in full force in a pivotal Week 18 matchup in Green Bay.

Fields completed seven of 21 passes for 75 yards with a touchdown and interception to go with 132 rushing yards on 10 carries in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Fields had 100 rushing yards and his touchdown in the first quarter, but he was held in check the rest of the way. This was his second disappointing fantasy performance in a row, though he'll have a chance to end the year on a high note next week at home against the Vikings.

Bridgewater was forced out of Sunday's game against the Patriots with a right finger injury.

Before exiting the contest, Bridgewater completed 12 of 19 pass attempts for 161 yards with a TD and a pick. In his absence, Skylar Thompson is in at quarterback for the Dolphins, with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) inactive Sunday.

Tagovailoa (concussion) plans to play again this season if the Dolphins make the playoffs, Fox's Jay Glazer reports.

Obviously that decision isn't fully in Tagovailoa's hands, both from the standpoint of the Dolphins making the playoffs, and in terms of getting clearance from the concussion protocol. Glazer didn't directly state it, but the report also suggests that Tagovailoa won't play in Week 18 against the Jets.

Minshew is in line to start Sunday's game against the Saints in place of an inactive Jalen Hurts (shoulder), Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Minshew will be afforded a second consecutive start with Hurts tending to a sprained right throwing shoulder. In a Week 16 loss at Dallas, Minshew completed 24 of 40 passes for 355 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions, scored a TD on the ground and also lost a fumble.

Lawrence (toe) is officially active for Sunday's game at Houston.

The QB approached the contest listed as questionable after practicing in a limited fashion Thursday and Friday, but he'll be available versus the Texans for a game in which Adam Schefter of ESPN indicates the 7-8 Jaguars don't plan to rest key players ahead of the team's looming AFC South title showdown against the Titans on Week 18. Lawrence heads into Sunday's contest averaging 272.7 passing yards over the past seven games, and he has 14 touchdowns against just one interception during that stretch.

Hurts (shoulder) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Saints.

Hurts provided a glimmer of hope when he returned to practice Thursday, but after putting together back-to-back limited sessions to end Week 17 prep, the Eagles listed him as doubtful to play Sunday due to the sprained right throwing shoulder that he suffered Week 15 in Chicago. He'll thus cede quarterback duties to Gardner Minshew on Sunday, while Hurts himself will attempt to put himself in position to return for a Week 18 matchup with the Giants.

Minshew is slated to start Sunday's game against the Saints, Stacey Dales of NFL Network reports.

With Jalen Hurts (right shoulder) not in line to play Sunday, a notion that will be confirmed once the Eagles' inactives are posted ahead the team's 1:00 ET kickoff, Minshew is poised to make his second straight start. In the team's Week 16 loss to the Cowboys, Minshew completed 24 of 40 passes for 355 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions, while adding four carries for five yards and another TD.
