Smith completed 21 of 36 passes for 264 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Panthers. He also rushed three times for 20 yards.

Smith was picked off on his first throw of the game, setting the stage for an uneven performance. The signal-caller was intercepted another time in the first half, but Smith still distributed the ball relatively well, as each of his top three receivers (DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Marquise Goodwin) caught at least five passes for 60 yards and a touchdown. With a second straight three-score game, Smith carries decent recent form into a tricky Week 15 matchup Thursday night versus the 49ers.

Prescott completed 24 of 39 passes for 284 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Texans.

Heading into the game, it seemed likely that the Cowboys would be able to rely on their rushing attack to win over the lowly Texans. However, Dallas trailed for long portions of the game, so in turn, Prescott attempted his second-highest number of passes on the campaign. His actual performance was a mix of positive and negative, as he threw for a season-high 284 yards on the strength of four completions of more than 20 yards. However, Prescott also threw two picks -- the third time he's done so in his last five games. Prescott also failed to throw for multiple scores for only the second time in his last seven starts.

Wilson has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to a concussion, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Wilson stayed down with a glazed look in his eyes after taking a big hit. He got up and went into the blue medical tent, then subsequently the locker room for concussion testing while sporting a noticeable welt on his forehead. The testing confirmed a concussion, so Brett Rypien will lead Denver's offense the rest of the way Sunday. Wilson will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to suit up against the Cardinals in Week 15.

Bridgewater (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Bridgewater will be unable to suit up for a seventh consecutive game due to a knee injury. Skylar Thompson will continue to serve as the primary backup behind Tua Tagovailoa.

Wilson left Sunday's contest versus the Chiefs after hitting his head hard on the turf at the end of a scramble in the fourth quarter, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Wilson remained on the ground for a spell before slowly making his way to the sideline tent and eventually the locker room, per Nick Kosmider of The Athletic. The Broncos announced shortly thereafter that Wilson was being evaluated for a concussion, which, if confirmed, will end his Week 14 with 247 yards, three touchdowns and one interception on 23-for-36 passing and four carries for 57 yards.

White traveled back to New York on the team plane after injuring his ribs during Sunday's 20-12 loss in Buffalo, Kimberley A. Martin of ESPN reports.

White twice handed the offense over to Joe Flacco while being evaluated for a rib issue, but he was able to return both times and finish out the contest, completing 27 of 44 passes for 268 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions. Afterward, Jets medical personnel sent White to a Buffalo-area hospital to be examined further, but those tests appear to have checked out OK as well. In any case, White's status will be one to watch as the week goes on to get a sense of his potential to keep playing through the pain next Sunday against the Lions.

Jones completed 18 of 27 passes for 169 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions while rushing four times for 26 yards and another score in the Giants' 48-22 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Jones' numbers weren't that much different than those he's typically put up during the Giants' seven wins this season, but he never seemed to have a realistic chance of helping his side of the ball keep up with the Eagles' prolific attack. The veteran signal-caller's two touchdowns salvaged his day from a fantasy perspective, yet his afternoon was a lot messier than his numbers imply, considering he took four sacks and was hit eight additional times overall. He was replaced by Tyrod Taylor late in the blowout defeat, but Jones figures to be back under center for a critical Week 15 road rematch against the Commanders next Sunday night.

Watson completed 26 of 42 passes for 276 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Bengals. He added 33 yards on six rushing attempts.

After a shaky Browns debut last week, Watson looked marginally more comfortable in his second appearance. His first two passes went for gains of 18 and 13 yards, and he finished the first quarter with completions on all four of his attempts, though neither team produced any points. Watson's first touchdown pass in a Cleveland uniform came in the third quarter, when he found tight end David Njoku from 13 yards out, but Watson was picked off on the following possession. He's still shaking off the rust from his extended layoff, which will make Watson a risky fantasy option in Week 15 against the Ravens as many leagues begin their playoffs.

Cousins completed 31 of 41 passes for 425 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Vikings' 34-23 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

While his numbers are largely the result of the Vikings trailing from the second quarter on, fantasy managers will naturally take the season-high yardage total and seventh multi-touchdown effort of the campaign. Cousins most frequently connected with Justin Jefferson as customary, with the star receiver bringing in 11 of his completions for 223 yards. Despite the disappointing loss, the Vikings are 10-3 and still in the driver's seat for the NFC North crown, and Cousins will aim to get them quickly back in the win column during a Saturday afternoon Week 15 home matchup versus the Colts.

Goff completed 27 of 39 passes for 330 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions while also gaining nine yards on two rush attempts in the Lions' 34-23 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Goff turned in a second consecutive 300-yard, multi-touchdown, interception-free effort to extend what has been the best stretch of play of his career by all accounts, one that's led the team to dispute the notion he's only a "bridge" quarterback to a future high draft pick, per Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. The veteran signal-caller connected with Jameson Williams, Josh Reynolds and DJ Chark for touchdown passes of 41, five and 48 yards, respectively, and he impressively led the Lions to either a field goal or touchdown on all four second-half drives. The Lions are in the thick of the NFC wild-card mix at minimum thanks in large part to Goff's play, but he'll have a thorny road matchup against the Jets in Week 15 that will serve as a stringent test of his hot streak.
