Dalton completed 14 of 29 pass attempts for 141 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 33-7 loss to Chicago.

The Bengals took a 7-6 lead after Dalton's touchdown pass to Brandon LaFell late in the first quarter, but it was all Bears after that. Dalton missed out on some potential garbage-time stats as he was replaced by AJ McCarron with 4:30 left in the fourth quarter. The TCU product is not a recommended option in another tough matchup at Minnesota in Week 15.

Prescott completed 20 of 30 pass attempts for 332 yards and three touchdowns Sunday against the Giants. He also carried six times for 13 yards in the 30-10 win.

Prescott completed 67 percent of his passes while posting an impressive 11.1 yards per attempt. He produced a career high in passing yardage thanks in part to three completions of at least 50 yards. Two of Prescott's touchdowns came on long plays -- a 50-yard strike to Dez Bryant and an 81-yard catch and run by Rod Smith -- with the other coming via a 20-yard connection to Jason Witten. The second-year signal caller committed eight turnovers compared to zero touchdowns during the team's recent three-game losing streak, but he's bounced back with 434 passing yards, five touchdowns and no turnovers in subsequent back-to-back wins. He appears to be finding a groove despite the continued absence of Ezekiel Elliott and will look to exploit a beatable Raiders defense next week.

Carr completed 24 of 41 pass attempts for 211 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-15 loss to the Chiefs. He also threw two interceptions and took three sacks.

Carr failed to take advantage of Kansas City's vulnerable pass defense as the fourth-year quarterback averaged just 5.1 yards per attempt and struggled with his accuracy. The Raiders were without starting wide receiver Amari Cooper (ankle) for a majority of the game, leading to a season-high 13 targets for Michael Crabtree as he hauled in seven passes. Playing from behind throughout the entire contest, Oakland rushed just 11 times while Carr was asked to handle much of the load on offense. Other than a 29-yard touchdown strike to tight end Jared Cook during garbage time in the fourth quarter, Carr would probably like to forget about this performance heading into his Week 15 matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday night.

Brissett completed 11 of 22 pass attempts for 69 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Bills. He also carried three times for 10 yards in the 13-7 loss.

Brissett's attempts were in part limited by the incessant snow in Buffalo, but he still struggled in completing 50 percent of his passes for what was by far his lowest yardage total in any start this season. His production has dropped off since the team's bye in Week 11, with three turnovers, two touchdowns and an average of 146.3 yards over the last three games. Brissett will face an inconsistent yet experienced Broncos defensive unit on Thursday.

Keenum completed 27 of 44 passes for 280 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 31-24 loss to Carolina. He also scrambled five times for 40 yards and lost a fumble.

While Keenum was picked off on a deep ball intended for Adam Thielen on the opening drive, he made amends with an 18-yard touchdown pass to tight end Kyle Rudolph on the next possession. The quarterback threw another interception while targeting Stefon Diggs in the fourth quarter, but looked Thielen's way with more success on a 52-yard touchdown on the next drive and added a successful two-point conversion to Blake Bell. While a late winning drive by Carolina ended up rendering Minnesota's comeback moot, Keenum once again provided a serviceable fantasy performance despite the mistake-filled effort.

Peterman was forced out of Sunday's game against the Colts with a concussion.

Peterman completed five of 10 passes for 57 yards and a TD, while adding four carries for 10 yards, prior to his exit. Joe Webb is in at QB for the Bills, with Tyrod Taylor (knee) unavailable Sunday.

Savage was diagnosed with a concussion and won't return to Sunday's game against the 49ers. He'll finish the day with six completions for 63 yards on 12 attempts.

Savage took a massive hit in the first half from 49ers defensive end Elvis Dumervil and was slow to get up, resulting in him heading to the medical tent for a brief period. He would later return to the game for one series and threw two incompletions before getting pulled late in the second quarter, allowing T.J. Yates to take over under center. With Savage now dealing with a head injury on top of his largely unproductive play as the Texans' starting signal caller for seven games, it's fair to question if he'll get his job back Week 15 against the Jaguars even if he clears the NFL's concussion protocol by that point.

Jones (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Redskins.

Jones has yet to dress for a game this season, which will remain the case the rest of the way unless starter Philip Rivers or top backup Kellen Clemens succumb to an injury.

Savage is being evalutated for a concussion during Sunday's game against the 49ers, Aaron Wilson of The Houston Chronicle reports.

In a scary sight, Savage suffered a brutal sack during Sunday's game and looked visibly shaken up. He was briefly allowed back into the game before being taken to the locker room, with T.J. Yates entering the game in his stead. If Savage's injury will keep him out long term, expect the Texans to make a practice squad activation or look in free agency for another backup. Savage has completed just 56 percent of his passes for 1,349 yards, five touchdowns and six interceptions through seven games.

Rodgers will undergo a CT scan on his surgically repaired right collarbone this week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. If the scans return negative, Rodgers would gain medical clearance to return from injured reserve and play Week 15 against the Panthers.

Rodgers has healed about as quickly as the Packers could have anticipated after placing him on injured reserve shortly after he fractured the collarbone in his throwing shoulder in an Oct. 15 loss to the Vikings. The quarterback resumed practicing Dec. 2, drawing positive reviews while working for the scout team. So long as doctors agree with the coaching staff and his teammates' assessments that Rodgers is ready to play again, expect him to come off IR and displace Brett Hundley as the team's starter under center. The only potential wrinkle to that plan might be the Packers losing to the winless Browns on Sunday, which would drop the team's record to 6-7 and effectively remove them from contention for an NFC wild-card spot.
