Allen completed 23 of 36 passes for 256 yards and three touchdowns while adding a nine-yard rush in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Saints.

Allen threw touchdowns of 51 and two yards to D.J. Moore, sandwiching a one-yard touchdown pass to Christian McCaffrey in between those scores. He did well to lead his team out of 14-0 and 31-18 holes, actually tying the score at 31-31 before the Saints won it with a field goal as time expired. This was a nice bounce-back performance from Allen after his forgettable zero-touchdown, four-interception outing against Atlanta in the previous game, and he should build on this effort in Week 13 against the Redskins.

Jones completed 21 of 36 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Bears. He also rushed twice for 27 yards and lost a fumble.

After neither team scored any points in the first quarter, Jones finally got the Giants on the board with a three-yard touchdown to Kaden Smith halfway through the second quarter -- the first score of the rookie tight end's career. Jones went quiet after that, but he found Golden Tate for a 23-yard touchdown to give his team hope with under five minutes remaining. The rookie quarterback also lost a fumble for a fifth consecutive game in the third quarter, setting Chicago up at New York's three-yard line. Jones suffered a cut on his throwing hand and was noticeably bleeding, though he was able to finish the game, so the injury is unlikely to affect him moving forward.

Trubisky completed 25 of 41 passes for 278 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions while adding 18 rushing yards and another touchdown in Chicago's 19-14 win over the Giants on Sunday.

For the third game in a row, Trubisky came out ice cold for the entire first half, but he turned things around by leaning heavily upon Allen Robinson in the second half to carve out a solid fantasy performance. This was the second time in three games in which he's accounted for multiple touchdowns, though he'll continue to be a low-upside option in leagues that start two quarterbacks.

Mayfield completed 24 of 34 pass attempts for 327 yards, three touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 41-24 win over the Dolphins.

Mayfield completed an impressive 71 percent of his throws while averaging 9.6 yards per attempt. He completed a pair of short touchdown passes to Jarvis Landry sandwiched around a 35-yard strike to Odell Beckham Jr. Mayfield now has eight total touchdowns over the last three games while throwing just one interception during that span. He's topped the 300-yard mark three times this season, equalling his total from last year, and he'll look to keep it rolling next Sunday against the Steelers.

Allen completed 15 of 25 passes for 185 yards, two touchdowns and an interception during Sunday's 20-3 win over Denver. He added 56 yards on nine carries.

Allen relied heavily on his legs during the first half, converting a pair of third downs with long, scrambling runs. He was able to make more of a difference with his arm in the second half, including a game-sealing shot down the sideline to John Brown for a 34-yard touchdown to put the contest out of reach in the fourth quarter. Allen airmailed one second-quarter pass to snap a five-game interception-less streak, but overall, he's been a low-risk, solid reward quarterback since an uneven first month to the season. After responding relatively well to a tough test versus Denver, Allen and the Bills face a quick turnaround against a top-10 pass defense in Dallas on Thanksgiving.

Winston completed 18 of 28 passes for 312 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions in the Buccaneers' 35-22 win over the Falcons on Sunday. He also rushed eight times for 38 yards.

Early on, it looked like it could be more of the recent same for Winston, who tossed six interceptions in the two games prior to Sunday. Winston was guilty of his NFL-leading 19th and 20th picks in the first half, but he continued to fight through his struggles and seemed to gain a measure of confidence when he successfully threaded the needle on a 71-yard touchdown throw to Chris Godwin midway through the opening quarter. Winston's most prolific target on the afternoon would remain Godwin, with whom he connected for a second score from a yard out in the second quarter. Winston's resurgent performance included his eighth 300-yard effort of the season, but the persistent pattern of turnovers is still a concern. Winston will look to put together a completely clean performance in a Week 13 interconference battle against the in-state Jaguars.

Wilson completed 13 of 25 passes for 200 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Eagles. He also ran twice for 16 yards.

Wilson's stat line would've looked much better if he connected with a wide-open Jacob Hollister in the end zone and DK Metcalf didn't drop a deep pass at the goal line. The veteran signal-caller faced heavy pressure all afternoon, as he was dropped six times for a loss of 26 yards. It took some trickery to notch his only score of the day, as he found Malik Turner on a flea flicker in the first quarter. Wilson posted a 52 percent completion rate and 8.0 YPA; both marks were his second worst of the season. Nevertheless, the Seahawks bumped to 9-2 on the season (6-0 on the road) and will take the NFC West lead if the Packers take down the 49ers on Sunday Night Football.

Carr completed 15 of 27 passes for 127 yards and an interception in Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Jets. He also rushed once for 11 yards prior to being removed in the third quarter.

Carr was pulled late in the third quarter with his team trailing 34-3, as coach Jon Gruden didn't see any point in leaving the starting quarterback in. Carr's interception two drives earlier was returned for a touchdown. This dud stunts the momentum Carr had built up with 285-plus yards in four of the previous five games, along with a 9:2 TD:INT over those five games. There's no time to dwell on this performance, with the Raiders set to travel to Kansas City in Week 13 to face a Chiefs team that holds a one-game lead over Oakland atop the AFC West.

Rudolph (coach's decision) exited Sunday's game against the Bengals and was replaced by Devlin Hodges, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Rudolph's first half wasn't impressive, and he's been benched to begin the third quarter as a result. Before exiting Sunday's contest, Rudolph completed eight of 16 pass attempts for 85 yards and one interception. He was also sacked once. Coach Mike Tomlin's comments about his quarterback situation heading into Week 13 will bear watching.

Coach Vic Fangio said Friday that it's possible Lock (thumb) could be activated from injured reserve Week 13, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Fangio said Lock has been "doing good when you factor in he hasn't done anything since August." Since being designated for return from IR on Nov. 12, Lock has worked with the scout team. The Broncos will have until Week 14 against the Texans to make a decision on the rookie second-round pick, who stands to be the backup to starting signal-caller Brandon Allen in the event that he does join the 53-man roster.
