Tyler Huntley QB | BAL
Ravens' Tyler Huntley: Struggles to move offense
Huntley completed 17 of 30 passes for 138 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Saturday's 13-3 loss to the Browns. He added six carries for 15 yards.
Huntley was unable to get the Baltimore offense moving, as he averaged only 4.6 yards per attempt. He also threw an interception deep in Cleveland's territory early in the third quarter on a drive during which the Ravens would have had the chance to at least tie the game. Huntley typically also produces plenty with his legs, though he was held in check in that regard in Saturday's loss as well. Lamar Jackson (knee) has a chance to return for a Week 16 matchup against Atlanta, which would send Huntley back to a reserve role.

Teddy Bridgewater QB | DET
Dolphins' Teddy Bridgewater: Won't suit up Saturday
Bridgewater (knee) is inactive for Saturday's matchup against the Bills.
Bridgewater hasn't suited up since suffering a knee injury during Miami's Week 6 loss to Minnesota. In his absence, Skylar Thompson will presumably continue operating as the primary backup behind Tua Tagovailoa.

Joshua Dobbs QB | NE
Lions' Joshua Dobbs: Elevated from practice squad
Dobbs was elevated to the active roster Saturday.
Dobbs will possibly suit up in his first game with Lions after signing with their practice squad two weeks ago. The former Tennessee quarterback will serve as the third-string option behind Jared Goff and Nate Sudfeld and should only see playing time if either of them were to get injured.

Kirk Cousins QB | LV
Vikings' Kirk Cousins: Four TDs in 33-point comeback
Cousins completed 34 of 54 passes for 460 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions in Saturday's 39-36 overtime win over the Colts.
Everything that could go wrong did for the Vikings as they fell behind 33-0 in the first half, including a Cousins pick-six. In the third quarter, Cousins connected with K.J. Osborn for a 63-yard gain and a two-yard touchdown to get Minnesota on the board with the first of three consecutive Vikings touchdown drives. Cousins capped the third of those drives with an eight-yard touchdown pass to Justin Jefferson before derailing the following possession with his second interception. The veteran quarterback bounced back with touchdown passes to Adam Thielen (one yard) and Dalvin Cook (64 yards), the latter of which Cousins followed with a two-point conversion to T.J. Hockenson to tie the score at 36-36. A field goal in the final minute of overtime capped the historic comeback (the largest in NFL history) and improved Minnesota's record to 11-3 heading into a Week 16 visit from the Giants.

Tyler Huntley QB | BAL
Ravens' Tyler Huntley: Set to face Cleveland
Huntley is officially listed as active for Saturday's game against the Browns.
With Lamar Jackson (knee) having previously been ruled out, Huntley -- who didn't carry an injury designation for the contest after clearing concussion protocol -- is on track to start Saturday, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. That leaves Anthony Brown to serve as the Ravens' No. 2 QB in Week 15, with Jackson's next chance to play arriving next Saturday, when Baltimore hosts Atlanta. Huntley's ability to contribute to his team's ground game gives the dual-threat signal-caller a degree of fantasy lineup value versus Cleveland in the absence of any in-game setbacks.

Mason Rudolph QB | PIT
Steelers' Mason Rudolph: Set to back up Trubisky
Rudolph is slated to back up Mitch Trubisky in Sunday's game against the Panthers, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Trubisky will get the starting nod for the Steelers on Sunday, with Kenny Pickett still in the concussion protocol. As a result, Rudolph will be active (as the team's No. 2 QB) for the first time this season.

Mitch Trubisky QB | TEN
Steelers' Mitch Trubisky: Confirmed as Week 15 starter
Trubisky will start Sunday's game against the Panthers.
With Kenny Pickett (concussion) downgraded to out Saturday, Trubisky has been confirmed as Sunday's starter, which sets the stage for Mason Rudolph to serve as the team's No. 2 QB versus Carolina. In that context, Trubisky -- who started the Steelers' first four games of the season -- represents a Week 15 lineup option for those in QB-heavy leagues or who are otherwise scrambling for a short-term option at the position.

Mason Rudolph QB | PIT
Steelers' Mason Rudolph: Not in line to start Sunday
With Kenny Pickett (listed as doubtful) still in the NFL's concussion protocol, Mitch Trubisky is expected to start Sunday's game against the Panthers rather than Rudolph, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Rudolph and Trubisky split practice reps this past week, but it looks as though Trubisky will get the starting nod Sunday. Assuming Pickett is inactive versus Carolina, Rudolph would be in line to suit up as Pittsburgh's No. 2 QB in Week 15.

Mitch Trubisky QB | TEN
Steelers' Mitch Trubisky: Expected to start Sunday
Trubisky is expected to start Sunday's game against the Panthers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
With Kenny Pickett listed as doubtful and still in the NFL's concussion protocol, Trubisky is expected to get the starting nod Sunday rather than Mason Rudolph, who he had been splitting practice reps with. Trubisky thus provides those scrambling for QB help in Week 15 with a lineup option, while Pickett will look to gain clearance to play in Week 16 against Las Vegas.
