Marcus Mariota QB | WAS
Titans' Marcus Mariota: Two touchdown passes in failed comeback
Mariota completed 25 of 38 passes for 290 yards and two touchdowns while rushing five times for 29 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss at Indianapolis.
Mariota struggled early, but got things going after falling behind 21-0. He connected with running back DeMarco Murray from three yards out with 20 seconds left in the first half, then hit Tajae Sharpe from 34 yards out in the third. While he couldn't complete the comeback here, evidence continues to mount that the second-year quarterback has made a major leap. He has 19 passing touchdowns and just three interceptions since Week 5.

Russell Wilson QB | NYG
Seahawks' Russell Wilson: Throws a TD and catches a score
Wilson completed 18 of 31 passes for 272 yards and a touchdown, and also caught a score in Sunday's 26-15 win over the Eagles.
Wilson wasn't doing much for most of the first half, but made a nice throw on the run to Jimmy Graham that resulted in a 35-yard touchdown midway through the second quarter. His touchdown catch came on a gadget play in the third quarter, as he ran a pass pattern after pitching the ball to Doug Baldwin. Although Wilson ran for just 19 yards on eight carries, he looks more spry in and out of the pocket, and seems to be over the ankle injury that bothered him for a big chunk of the year. Next up for Wilson are the Buccaneers in Tampa Bay.

Andy Dalton QB | PHI
Bengals' Andy Dalton: Struggles after A.J. Green does down
Dalton completed 24 of 43 passes for 207 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions Sunday against the Bills. He also rushed four times for 10 yards and a touchdown in a 16-12 defeat.
Dalton took matters into his own hands by the goal line in the first quarter, running in from two yards out for his third rushing score of the season. He struggled after that, though, throwing for under 250 yards for just the third time this season and second game in a row. Dalton's struggles had a lot to do with the early exit of top receiver A.J. Green (hamstring), who could be out for the season. The Red Rocket's stock would take a major hit the rest of the way if that's the case.

Jared Goff QB | DET
Rams' Jared Goff: Quiet in NFL debut
Goff completed 17 of 31 passes for 135 yards without any touchdowns in Sunday's 14-10 loss to the Dolphins. He also ran for 11 yards on four carries.
Making his NFL debut, Goff protected the ball in rainy weather, but led the Rams to just 10 points. He took just one sack and showed good mobility on a couple of scrambles. Furthermore, he got rid of the ball quickly on a number of throws, and displayed a strong arm. He actually was in line for the win, but Ryan Tannehill threw a pair of touchdown passes in the fourth quarter. For those playing in deeper leagues, Goff has a nice matchup next week against a weak Saints' defense.

Ryan Tannehill QB | TEN
Dolphins' Ryan Tannehill: Redeems himself late in win over the Rams
Tannehill completed 24 of 34 passes for 172 yards, with two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 14-10 comeback win over the Rams.
Tannehill was unproductive in the first half, completing 10 of 13 passes for 51 yards, while playing in rainy weather. He didn't lead the Dolphins to any scoring drives until late in the fourth quarter, when he hooked up with Jarvis Landry on a 10-yard touchdown pass. The young QB later led a fantastic drive in the final couple of minutes, culminating with a nine-yard touchdown to DeVante Parker to complete the comeback win. He'll have a favorable matchup next week against the 49ers.

Sam Bradford QB | MIN
Vikings' Sam Bradford: Throws for a touchdown in win
Bradford completed 20 of 28 passes for 169 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over Arizona. He lost a fumble during the contest.
Bradford got Minnesota on the board on its first possession with a beautiful 16-yard back-shoulder fade to Adam Thielen. The rest of the game was rather quiet for Bradford as he was held to a season low in yardage with Minnesota's offense kept on the sidelines with touchdowns from its defense and special teams. Bradford's been far from a star for Minnesota this season, but has been a very effective compliment to its stellar defense and has been adept at taking care of the ball. His next test will be against a Detroit defense that he threw for 273 yards and a score against in Week 9.
-
Dak Prescott QB | DAL
Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Three touchdowns in win over Ravens
Prescott completed 27 of 36 passes for 301 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions in Sunday's game against the Ravens. He added 16 yards on two carries in the 27-17 win.
Prescott completed an impressive 75 percent of his attempts, connecting with Dez Bryant on a pair of touchdowns after an initial strike to Cole Beasley. The rookie has been impressive on the season, but especially so of late, with 11 total touchdowns compared to just two turnovers in four games since the bye. He has also topped 300 passing yards each of the last two weeks after failing to do so in his first eight, and he seems primed for another productive performance against the Redskins on Thanksgiving Day.
-
Tyrod Taylor QB | GB
Bills' Tyrod Taylor: No touchdowns against Bengals
Taylor completed 19 of 27 passes for 166 yards and an interception while adding nine carries for 39 yards in Sunday's 16-12 win over the Bengals.
Taylor completed his first eight passes, but threw a costly red-zone interception in the final minute of the first half. He wasn't asked to do too much with the game close throughout, as the Bills continued to rely on the run even after LeSean McCoy exited with a thumb injury. Taylor has eclipsed 200 passing yards just four times in 10 starts.
-
Matthew Stafford QB | LAR
Lions' Matthew Stafford: Leads another fourth-quarter comeback
Stafford completed 24 of 33 pass attempts for 278 yards Sunday against the Jaguars.
Stafford didn't come alive until the second half, consistently going three-and-out before finding TE Eric Ebron on a broken play for a 61-yard gain with roughly 10 minutes left in regulation. Nonetheless, the Lions quarterback conducted yet another fourth-quarter comeback to keep his team atop the NFC North standings. It's less rosy when viewed from a fantasy perspective, though, as this marks the second time this season Stafford has failed to throw a touchdown pass and the third time in four games he's thrown one or less. Thankfully, he managed to buoy his stat line Sunday with his third-highest passing yardage output of 2016. On deck in Week 12 is a Vikings team that Stafford managed 219 yards and two touchdowns against in Week 9.

Jameis Winston QB | NYG
Buccaneers' Jameis Winston: Throws for 331 yards in Week 11 road win
Winston completed 24 of 39 passes for 331 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Chiefs. He also gained 22 yards on five rushes and fumbled twice, losing one.
Winston was under frequent duress throughout the game but only suffered one sack and connected with seven different receivers overall. One of the positives of the upset victory was Winston's improving chemistry with Cecil Shorts, who he found a season-high five times on the afternoon. The sophomore quarterback's 61.5 percent completion rate on the afternoon represented a third straight game reaching the mark, while his 8.49 YPA was his best in the last four contests. Coming off one of the biggest road wins of his young career, Winston will have his work cut out for him in a Week 12 home tilt against the Seahawks.
