Dak Prescott QB | DAL
Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Nearly perfect in blowout win
Prescott completed 22 of 25 pass attempts for 276 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 40-3 win over Minnesota. He added 16 rushing yards on three carries.
Prescott was flawless against a passing defense that has troubled other quarterbacks at times this season. This was the 29-year-old's strongest showing in 2022 since returning from thumb surgery, which bodes well for fantasy managers who have been underwhelmed through 10 weeks. Prescott could have had an even bigger game if the starters weren't pulled for the entire fourth quarter, a coaching decision influenced by the combination of a lopsided score and an upcoming short week. The Cowboys' franchise quarterback will look to build off this strong showing in a pivotal NFC East matchup against the Giants on Thanksgiving.

Derek Carr QB | NO
Raiders' Derek Carr: Dices up Denver in win
Carr completed 23 of 37 passes for 307 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Broncos.
Carr continued to attempt throws at a high volume, as he has now taken to the air at least 36 times in each of his last three games. However, he posted one of his more efficient performances in Sunday's win, highlighted by touchdown throws of 35 and 31 yards to Davante Adams. Carr also managed to top 300 passing yards for the second time this season, powered by a campaign-best seven completions of 20 yards or more. Overall, he's thrown for multiple touchdowns and a minimum of 248 yards in each of the last three weeks.

Kenny Pickett QB | CAR
Steelers' Kenny Pickett: Connects with Pickens in loss
Pickett completed 25 of 42 passes for 265 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-30 loss to the Bengals. He added two rushing attempts for 14 yards.
Pickett found George Pickens for a 24-yard touchdown to tie the score at 17 in the second quarter. The pair of rookies have shown good chemistry from the get-go, so Pickett-to-Pickens could be a common phrase around Pittsburgh for years to come if the rookie quarterback proves capable of holding down the starting job. Two of Pickett's three career touchdown passes have been thrown to Pickens, but those three touchdowns have been accompanied by eight interceptions, as Pickett's still learning how to limit turnovers heading into a Week 12 primetime game in Indianapolis on MNF.

Russell Wilson QB | NYG
Broncos' Russell Wilson: Efficient in loss
Wilson completed 24 of 31 passes for 247 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Raiders. He added one rush for eight yards.
Wilson has produced varying degrees of efficiency this season, though he put together a strong performance in that regard by averaging 8.0 yards per attempt. However, his fantasy production remained uninspiring due to his lack of touchdowns, and he still has tallied multiple touchdowns in only one game this season. More positively, after topping 240 passing yards only once in his first four contests, Wilson has topped that mark in four of his last five matchups.
-
Joe Burrow QB | CIN
Bengals' Joe Burrow: Tosses four touchdowns
Burrow was superb Sunday against the Steelers, completing 24 of 39 passes for 355 yards and four touchdowns. He did throw two tipped interceptions and was sacked twice.
If there was a downside to Burrow's performance, it's that too many passes got tipped at the line of scrimmage, leading to the two turnovers. But he overcame that to lead the Bengals on multiple long scoring drives, connecting for over 20 yards with six different pass catchers. A tough road matchup awaits at Tennessee, where Burrow was sacked nine times in the playoffs last season.
-
Jared Goff QB | DET
Lions' Jared Goff: Not asked to do much in win
Goff completed 17 of 26 pass attempts for 165 yards and no touchdowns or turnovers in Sunday's 31-18 win over the Giants.
Detroit was carried by its three-headed rushing attack -- which combined for 150 yards and four touchdowns -- resulting in a low-volume fantasy game from Goff in an upset win over the now 7-3 Giants. The 2016 first overall pick has done a better job of protecting the football with just one interception over his last four games after turning the ball over nine times in his first six. Goff should be continued to be treated as a fringe starting option in standard formats heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Bills on Thursday.
-
Jacoby Brissett QB | BAL
Browns' Jacoby Brissett: Stellar numbers in Week 11 loss
Brissett completed 28 of 41 passes for 324 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Browns' 31-23 loss to the Bills on Sunday. He also rushed seven times for 29 yards and lost a fumble.
Brissett was clicking with Amari Cooper throughout the afternoon against a tough Bills secondary, hitting the veteran wideout on a team-high eight occasions for 113 yards and touchdown passes of 25 and seven yards. With the Browns falling progressively behind and unable to get anything going on the ground with Nick Chubb, Brissett finished with his second-most pass attempts and highest passing yardage total of the season, as well as his first multi-touchdown effort since Week 3. Brissett has one more game remaining in the starting role -- a Week 12 home matchup against the Buccaneers -- before Deshaun Watson (suspension) takes over in Week 13.
-
Daniel Jones QB | IND
Giants' Daniel Jones: Picked off twice in upset loss
Jones completed 27 of 44 pass attempts for 341 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions while rushing for 50 yards and another score on seven carries in Sunday's 31-18 loss to the Lions.
The Lions were keyed in on stopping Saquon Barkley (15 carries for 22 yards), which put added pressure on Jones to lead the offense back from being down big. The 25-year-old failed his team in that regard, but it also resulted in a season high in passing yards (341) to go along with his fourth rushing score of the year. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect this type of passing volume from Jones moving forward, especially on a short week against Dallas' elite pass rush on Thanksgiving in Week 12.
-
Andy Dalton QB | ATL
Saints' Andy Dalton: Bounces back with big win
Dalton was 21-for-25 passing for 260 yards and three touchdowns during Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Rams.
Amid speculation about whether Jameis Winston should take over as New Orleans' starting quarterback, Dalton responded with his best outing of the season Week 11. Despite taking three sacks while working behind a patchwork offensive line, the 35-year-old was able to complete all but four of his pass attempts in the face of a Rams pass rush headlined by Aaron Donald. The quarterback also threw a game-long 53-yard touchdown pass to Chris Olave down the middle of the field in the third quarter, putting the Saints up 24-14. While this performance should secure Dalton's starting job for the time being, he's set for another tough test next week against the 49ers.
-
Davis Mills QB | HOU
Texans' Davis Mills: Struggles again in Week 11 loss
Mills completed 19 of 33 passes for 169 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions while adding five carries for 10 yards and another score in the Texans' 23-10 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.
Mills once again struggled to get anything going through the air, throwing a pick-six on the Texans' second offensive play and then helming five first-half drives that ended in punts. The second-year signal-caller was a tad more productive in the second half after Houston was already down multiple possessions and finally got the team into the end zone himself with a four-yard touchdown run with 3:19 remaining. However, given yet another lackluster performance, questions surrounding Mills' job security will undoubtedly continue to brew ahead of a Week 12 road matchup against the Dolphins.
