Carr completed 21 of 33 passes for 194 yards with a touchdown and interception in Sunday's 23-17 loss at Kansas City. He also ran two times for 12 yards.

Carr had an uneven performance against the Chiefs in Week 13, completing 31 of 48 passes for 283 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions, and wasn't productive Sunday, until he threw a late fourth-quarter score to Michael Crabtree. The Raiders got the ball back in the final two minutes with a chance to win the game, but Carr was unable to lead them down the field. Although he came up a little short of Daryle Lamonica's 46-year old franchise record of 34 touchdown passes, Carr still had a very productive sophomore campaign, finishing with over 4,000 yards and 32 TDs, while tossing just 13 interceptions. With rookie Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree, who recently signed a long-term deal, in the fold, it wouldn't be surprising to see Carr take another step in 2016.

Wilson completed 19 of 28 passes for 197 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 36-6 win at Arizona.

In a tougher matchup than last week against St. Louis, Wilson was fantastic, tossing three touchdown passes in the first half. The stud QB didn't need to do much in the second half, and was pulled in the fourth quarter with the game out of hand. He's thrown multiple touchdowns in seven straight games, after achieving the feat just once over Seattle's first nine contests. With his big game Sunday, he set a season franchise record in passing yards and touchdowns at 4,024 and 34, respectively. He'll head into the playoffs with serious momentum, but it will be interesting to see the dynamic of the team's offense when Marshawn Lynch (abdomen) returns, which could be as early as their wild card game next weekend.

Hoyer completed 25 of 40 passes for 249 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's win over the Jaguars.

The veteran returned from a two-game absence due to lingering concussion symptoms, and Houston made his job a bit easier by leaning on the defense and ground game in the division-clinching win. Hoyer showed the ability to effectively lead the offense when healthy this season, and Sunday's return bodes well for his the franchise's upcoming return to the playoffs. It is unclear whether the Texans plan to roll with Hoyer into next season, but his play in the postseason could go a long way in determining that.

Taylor (shoulder) completed 18 of 28 passes for 182 yards and rushed 10 times for 51 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 22-17 win over the Jets.

Taylor connected with only four receivers, with wideout Sammy Watkins dominating the targets and catching 11 passes for 136 yards, while Greg Salas was the only other player to register more than four receiving yards. Taylor finishes the season with 3,035 passing yards and 20 touchdowns plus 568 rushing yards and four scores on the ground in 14 games, his first full season as a starter. Taylor will be a free agent after next season, and he could be in line for a new contract this offseason after his fine play this year, though the Bills have a little salary cap maneuvering before that can be completed.

Cousins completed 12 of 15 passes for 176 yards and three touchdowns Sunday in Dallas before handing the reins to backup Colt McCoy.

Cousins and the Redskins didn't have much to play for after securing a playoff spot last week, but they managed to build momentum heading into the postseason by thumping the Cowboys in Dallas. He was carving up the opposing secondary before leaving in the second quarter with the game already out of reach. The fourth-year quarterback really came alive late in the season, with 11 of his 29 touchdown passes coming in the final three weeks.

Tannehill (thigh/knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Tannehill is available if you need him this week, but his production over Miami's last four games (the last three of which were losses) has been spotty, with the QB having recorded just two TDs versus one pick during that span.

Morris is inactive Sunday against Tennessee with Josh Freeman set to start at quarterback and Ryan Lindley active as the backup.

Morris doesn't get a chance to play this week with Freeman signed earlier this week.

Hoyer (concussion) is active Sunday against the Jaguars.

Hoyer cleared concussion protocol earlier this week and he'll get the start in a game that could send the Texans to the playoffs if they win. Hoyer threw for 293 yards and three touchdowns in the teams' previous meeting back in Week 6.

Sunday's weather forecast for Taylor and the Bills calls for potential snow and winds around 20 mph.

Taylor played in wintry Buffalo weather last week and only threw 18 times, so more of the same could be in store Sunday if the game is close or the Bills get a lead. If you're counting on Taylor for production in Week 17, he may have to help you with his feet again, which he's capable of doing. The first-year starter has rushed at least seven times in the last four games, and ran it 14 times for 67 yards in last week's win.

With Andy Dalton still out, Wenning continues to serve as AJ McCarron's backup as Sunday's regular season finale against the Ravens approaches.

Wenning, who was promoted to the Bengals' active roster on Dec. 16, is thus a McCarron (left wrist) injury setback away from seeing his first NFL regular season action. Whether he remains the team's backup QB once the postseason begins hinges on the status of Dalton, who is slated to have his balky right thumb examined Monday.
