Mayfield completed 19 of 29 pass attempts for 258 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 12 against the Jaguars.

Mayfield experienced an unexpected spike in volume, recording his highest pass-attempt total since Week 5. He was also efficient, as he averaged 8.9 yards per attempt to surpass 250 yards for only the second time on the campaign. Mayfield showed particular rapport with Jarvis Landry, connecting for three plays of 20 or more yards as well as a five-yard first-quarter touchdown. He'll likely be required to move the Browns offense efficiently again to keep pace with the Titans in Week 13.

Allen completed 17 of 29 pass attempts for 136 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Giants.

Allen averaged a measly 4.7 yards per attempt while completing just 59 percent of his passes. He threw an interception that set up a field goal in the third quarter before connecting with Tee Higgins for a one-yard touchdown in the final minutes of the fourth. With a 2:3 TD:INT and an average of just 152.6 yards per game over his last three outings, Allen seems likely to struggle against a tough Dolphins defense next Sunday if he's given another chance to start.

Jones suffered a "pretty bad" hamstring injury during Sunday's 19-17 victory at Cincinnati that may force him to miss some time, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Jones logged just four offensive snaps in two stints after injuring his right hamstring in the third quarter, otherwise yielding QB duties to backup Colt McCoy. Afterward, coach Joe Judge told Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York that Jones was slated for an MRI and additional testing, and it appears likely the Giants will be without the second-year signal-caller for at least one game. Expect clarity on Jones' health to emerge in due time.

Carr completed 22 of 34 pass attempts for 215 yards, throwing no touchdowns and committing one interception during Sunday's 43-6 loss to the Falcons. He also fumbled three times, losing all three to the opposition.

It was a disastrous day for Carr, with his third-quarter interception to Deion Jones going for a 67-yard pick-six. The quarterback's three fumbles resulted in a combined 13 points for Atlanta, and he was unable to muster a passing TD for the second time over his past three outings. A Week 13 matchup against the Jets should provide relief, with New York ranking 29th in completions allowed and 28th in passing yardage surrendered to opposing QBs this season. What's more, Jets defensive backs Brian Poole (shoulder), Bless Austin (neck) and Bradley McDougald (shoulder) are all currently residing on injured reserve.

Cousins completed 34 of 45 passes for 307 yards with three touchdowns, a two-point conversion pass and no interceptions in the Vikings' 28-27 win over the Panthers on Sunday. He also rushed four times for 19 yards and lost a fumble that was returned for a touchdown.

Playing without top target Adam Thielen (reserve/COVID-19), Cousins nevertheless managed to put together an excellent fantasy performance and capped off what proved to be a game-winning drive with a clutch 10-yard touchdown pass to Chad Beebe in the closing minute. Cousins also connected with Justin Jefferson for scoring tosses of 12 and 10 yards in the first and fourth quarter, respectively, leading to his fourth consecutive contest with multiple touchdown throws. The veteran signal-caller has no fewer than 292 passing yards in three straight contests, a streak he'll look to extend in a highly favorable home matchup versus the Jaguars in Week 13.

McCoy completed 6 of 10 pass attempts for 31 yards and carried five times for seven yards during Sunday's 19-17 win over the Bengals.

McCoy, who entered the game after Daniel Jones (hamstring) went down with an injury, was rather conservative as a passer while the team leaned on the defense and running game to grind out the win. Jones appeared to be in a great deal of pain and seems to be in danger of missing next Sunday's matchup with the Seahawks. That would presumably propel McCoy into the starting role, but he performed poorly in his only extended action against the Patriots earlier this season and would be a relatively risky fantasy play if given the nod.

Allen completed 18 of 24 passes for 157 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Chargers. He added 32 yards and a touchdown on nine carries while also losing a fumble.

Allen found a wide open Dawson Knox in the back of the end zone for a two-yard touchdown in the first quarter and later watched Cole Beasley throw a 20-yard touchdown on a trick play en route to a 17-6 halftime lead. The mobile quarterback briefly exited the game in the second quarter after having his leg twisted awkwardly but returned for the final play of the first half. He didn't look limited by the injury on Buffalo's first drive after halftime, diving for the pylon to score on a three-yard run. All told, Allen has a 22:8 TD:INT to go with six rushing scores heading into a Week 13 Monday Night Football clash with the 49ers.

Bridgewater completed 19 of 36 passes for 267 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Panthers' 28-27 loss to the Vikings on Sunday. He also rushed twice for 12 yards and appeared to leave the game after the last offensive play with an undisclosed injury, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Bridgewater's return to Minnesota had a bit of everything in it, including what came close to qualifying as a memorable comeback. The veteran quarterback was able to hit Robby Anderson on a crossing route for his one touchdown throw and also connected with Curtis Samuel on a clutch 35-yard completion during the Panthers' last-gasp drive that culminated with a missed 54-yard field-goal attempt by Joey Slye with one second remaining. Bridgewater limped off the field after taking a hit on his final pass attempt the play prior, but he otherwise looked to be at full health after missing Week 11 with an MCL sprain and was able to extend his streak of games with at least one scoring toss to five. Bridgewater will now look to help Carolina bounce back from the heartbreaking defeat in a tough matchup versus the Broncos in Week 14 following a bye.

Herbert converted 31 of his 52 pass attempts for 316 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Bills.

Herbert was able to benefit from a junk-time drive that nearly yielded a touchdown despite horrendous clock management. The end result saw the rookie post his sixth game with at least 300 passing yards and a touchdown, but the gaudy yardage total masked what was an overall lackluster effort from the Chargers offense. The rookie relied heavily on the newly healthy Austin Ekeler (hamstring) as opposed to Keenan Allen or Mike Williams, but that might have been by design thanks to the Bills' aggressive secondary. It won't get much easier next week when the Chargers host a suddenly lively Patriots defense.

Coach Joe Judge said Jones will undergo testing on his right hamstring following Sunday's 19-17 win in Cincinnati, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports. "We'll take a look and see what it is," Judge noted. "He's got to see the doctors."

After grabbing at his right hamstring at the conclusion of a seven-yard run in the third quarter, Jones was evaluated on the sideline for a spell and eventually cleared to return by the Giants' training staff. However, he lasted just two plays before leaving the game for good. An MRI on Monday may reveal the extent of the injury, and beyond that point his activity will need to be watched ahead of a Week 13 road matchup with the Seahawks. If Jones requires any time away from the field, Colt McCoy will direct the offense.
