  • Jared Goff QB | DET

    Rams' Jared Goff: Will remain as No. 2 quarterback

    Head coach Jeff Fisher confirmed Monday evening that Goff will continue as Case Keenum's backup for at least another week, Lindsay Jones of USA Today Sports reports.

    Keenum continued his uninspiring play in Sunday's win over the Jets, which subsequently prompted more speculation that Goff could finally be in line to take over under center. However, Fisher reiterated his faith in Keenum and appears locked in on that stance while the Rams are still in the playoff picture.

  • Bryce Petty QB | MIA

    Jets' Bryce Petty: Week 12 status uncertain

    Jets coach Todd Bowles said he doesn't know if Petty or Ryan Fitzpatrick (knee) will start at quarterback once New York returns from its bye week, Connor Hughes of NJ.com reports.

    Petty got his first career start in the wake of Fitzpatrick's injury Sunday and completed 19 of 32 passes for 163 yards, a touchdown and an interception as the Jets lost to the Rams. Although his performance was generally underwhelming, Petty makes the most sense for the out-of-contention Jets to start and evaluate going forward. However, with Bowles admitting Fitzpatrick gives New York the best chance to win, and saying he would've played if healthy, the situation is clouded, thus making his decision once the team reconvenes next week interesting to watch for.

  • Russell Wilson QB | NYG

    Seahawks' Russell Wilson: Close to full health

    According to Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, Wilson is just about fully healthy again, NFL.com reports.

    Wilson has not missed a game this season, but he was slowed earlier in the campaign after suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 1. That injury understandably impacted Wilson's mobility, but he was able to run full speed in practice last week for the first time since the incident. With six total touchdowns in his past two games to boot, Wilson's performance level has elevated with his improved health, something that could make him an even more valuable fantasy commodity during the second half of this season.

  • Trevor Siemian QB | ATL

    Broncos' Trevor Siemian: Gets shoulder injection

    Siemian received an injection in his shoulder following Sunday's game against the Saints, but head coach Gary Kubiak expects his condition to benefit from the Broncos' current bye week, Lindsay Jones of USA Today reports.

    Siemian's non-throwing shoulder has reportedly been bothering him since he initially injured it in Week 4. That incident resulted in a one-game absence, but he's reassumed Denver's starting quarterback duties ever since. His performance level has been up and down lately, but after getting a shot after Sunday's latest game, Siemian will now get a needed rest period during the Broncos' bye week, which should help feel better once the team reconvenes.

  • Dak Prescott QB | DAL

    Cowboys' Dak Prescott: To remain starter

    Prescott will continue to be the Cowboys' starting quarterback, according to owner and general manager Jerry Jones, who followed Sunday's win over the Steelers by saying, "We're going to let this decision in this case make itself. Dak's got a hot hand and we're going to go with it," ESPN's Todd Archer reports.

    Prescott's case to remain Dallas' starter has grown stronger with each passing week, and Sunday's 319-yard, two-touchdown performance in Pittsburgh proved no different. With 18 total touchdowns compared to just five turnovers, the rookie has led the Cowboys to eight straight wins and the top record in the NFC, emerging as the team's long-term answer at quarterback along the way. So even though Tony Romo (back) is expected to be active in Week 11 against the Ravens, Prescott will rightfully keep the reins to the Cowboys' offense, solidifying his fantasy stock for the foreseeable future.

  • Russell Wilson QB | NYG

    Seahawks' Russell Wilson: Throws three TD passes in win at NE

    Wilson completed 25 of 37 passes for 348 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions in Seattle's 31-24 at New England on Sunday.

    Wilson looked his healthiest since Week 1. He's still not 100 percent, but he moved more like his normal self, avoiding the pass rush and scrambling to keep plays alive. The Seahawks also had an improved rushing game with C.J. Prosise, which helped Wilson and the passing game. Wilson connected with Doug Baldwin on all of his touchdown passes.

  • Kirk Cousins QB | LV

    Redskins' Kirk Cousins: Two touchdowns in win over Vikings

    Cousins connected on 22 of 33 pass attempts for 262 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Vikings.

    Cousins spread the ball around to seven different receivers and recorded just his second game of the season with multiple touchdown passes and no interceptions. He is among the league leaders in passing yards with an average mark of 301.7 and has accounted for multiple touchdowns in six of his last seven games. Cousins could be in for another productive outing next week against a Packers defense that has allowed 37 points per game over the last three.

  • Ryan Tannehill QB | TEN

    Dolphins' Ryan Tannehill: Modest but mistake-free performance in Week 10 win

    Tannehill completed 17 of 24 passes for 240 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Chargers. He also gained 16 yards on three rushes and fumbled once.

    Tannehill was efficient and mistake-free while throwing multiple touchdowns for the first time since Week 3. The yardage total was also Tannehill's highest in the last three weeks, as the Dolphins' offense has increasingly shifted to a run-centric approach behind Jay Ajayi. Sunday's balance was likely ideal for head coach Adam Gase, who saw his fifth-year signal-caller fire a 39-yard scoring strike to Kenny Stills and also connect with Damien Williams for an 18-yard touchdown. Meanwhile, Ajayi contributed a solid 4.2 yards per carry, while the Miami defense sealed the win with a pair of fourth-quarter interceptions of Philip Rivers. Tannehill will seek to continue his strong play against the Rams in Week 11.

  • Jameis Winston QB | NYG

    Buccaneers' Jameis Winston: Breaks 300-yard mark in Week 10 win

    Winston completed 23 of 33 passes for 312 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 36-10 win over the Bears.

    Winston posted his best yardage total since Week 3 while also throwing multiple touchdown passes for the fourth consecutive game. He also turned in one of the more jaw-dropping plays of the season on a 38-yard completion to Mike Evans from the Bucs' 23-yard line, evading pressure multiple times and even retreating as far back as the end zone before stepping up to unleashing the downfield heave. In all, Winston hit nine different pass catchers on the day and completed a game-long pass of 43 yards to Freddie Martino in the process. The performance and victory were both badly needed from Tampa's perspective, and Winston will look to continue the positive momentum in a tough road tilt against the Chiefs in Week 11.

  • Dak Prescott QB | DAL

    Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Career high in yardage versus Steelers

    Prescott completed 22 of 32 passes for 319 yards and a pair of touchdowns Sunday against the Steelers. He also lost a fumble in the 35-30 win.

    Prescott fumbled in his own end on the first drive of the game, but he was masterful the rest of the way en route to a career high in yardage and a sterling 121.7 passer rating. Both of his touchdowns were of the longer variety: an 83-yard catch and run from Ezekiel Elliott in the first quarter and a 50-yard strike to Dez Bryant in the third. Tony Romo (back) will serve as Prescott's backup next week against Baltimore, but with the rookie fresh off a terrific road win in which he accounted for multiple touchdowns for the seventh straight game, the job appears to be his for the foreseeable future.
