  • Marcus Mariota QB | WAS

    Titans' Marcus Mariota: Dazzles with legs against Jaguars

    Mariota completed 20-of-29 passes for 268 yards and three touchdowns, and added a career-high 122 rushing yards and his second career rushing touchdown in Sunday's 42-39 win over the Jaguars. The rookie quarterback did have two turnovers, though, as he threw an interception and lost a fumble.

    Mariota finally displayed the mobility that made him so dangerous as Oregon's quarterback last season, and Tennessee's offense looked much more efficient as a result. The rookie finally seems to be settling in as an NFL starter, with seven total touchdowns in the last two weeks after he had managed just six in his previous five appearances. Turnovers have continued to be a bugaboo for Mariota, as he now has five multi-turnover games through 10 career starts.

  • 49ers' Blaine Gabbert: Sparks victory over Bears with big rushing day

    Gabbert completed 18 of 32 passes for 196 yards and a touchdown Sunday versus the Bears. He also ran six times for 75 yards and a crucial touchdown that sent the game into overtime.

    The fifth-year pro failed to pile up numbers in the passing department, but his contribution on the ground salvaged the day for the 49ers and fantasy owners alike. Gabbert managed to avoid turning the ball over for the second time in the last three weeks, and he improved to 2-2 as San Francisco's starter. Gabbert's big day was by far his best fantasy performance of the season, and his production should be relatively volatile from week to week given the feeble nature of the 49ers offense. Week 14 will bring an away matchup against the Browns.

  • Derek Carr QB | NO

    Raiders' Derek Carr: Throws two touchdowns and three interceptions

    Carr completed 31 of 48 passes for 283 yards, with two touchdowns and three interceptions in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Chiefs.

    The Raiders had the lead heading into the fourth quarter, but Carr uncharacteristically became a turnover machine, tossing all three of his interceptions in the final period, including a back-breaking 38-yard pick six at the 3:14 mark. Carr struggled at Detroit in Week 11, and even though he imploded a bit Sunday, he's been solid in general during his second season. On a negative note, he's got a brutal matchup next week at Denver, which held him to just 249 yards and one touchdown in Week 5.

  • Russell Wilson QB | NYG

    Seahawks' Russell Wilson: Throws for three touchdowns against Minnesota

    Wilson completed 21 of 27 passes for 274 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's win over Minnesota. He added 51 yards and a touchdown on nine carries.

    Despite entering the game trailing only Cam Newton in rushing yards by a quarterback, Wilson scored his first rushing touchdown of the season after scoring six in 2014. His passing acumen is the big story, however. From Weeks 5 through 10, Wilson threw five picks and fumbled fives times in a five-game stretch, leading to questions about his decision making. In the three games since, Wilson has thrown for 11 touchdowns with no picks and one fumble. He'll have an opportunity to continue that success down the stretch, with two of Seattle's final four games coming against teams ranked in the bottom half of the league in pass defense.

  • Case Keenum QB | CHI

    Rams' Case Keenum: Named starter for Week 14

    Keenum (concussion) has been named the starting quarterback for next Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Earning active status this Sunday indicated that Keenum finally emerged from the concussion protocol, but head coach Jeff Fisher stuck with his decision from earlier in the week, entrusting the offense on Nick Foles' shoulders. Foles was a veritable disaster, completing 15 of 35 passes for 146 yards and one interception, and his failure to record a touchdown pass for a fourth consecutive appearance likely spurred the decision to return to Keenum. In his second start of the season, Keenum will attempt to bounce back from a 12-for-26, 136-yard, one-touchdown performance in Week 11.

  • Brian Hoyer QB | LV

    Texans' Brian Hoyer: Three touchdowns in loss

    Hoyer completed 26 of 43 passes for 293 yards, with three touchdowns and one interception Sunday against the Bills. He also rushed three times for 15 yards.

    Hoyer connected with nine different receivers, throwing his touchdowns to DeAndre Hopkins, Ryan Griffin and Chris Polk, while his interception came on the last play of the game. It was his second consecutive game with multiple touchdowns and he'll look to keep it going in Week 14 against the Patriots, who he played for during the first three years of his career.

  • Jameis Winston QB | NYG

    Buccaneers' Jameis Winston: Tallies 227 yards passing, two total TDs in Week 13

    Winston completed 18-of-27 passes for 227 yards with a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 23-19 victory over the Falcons. He also gained 15 yards on five rushes and added a rushing touchdown.

    Winston turned in another solid performance, and was integral in the Bucs coming back to snatch the victory late in the game. The rookie's 20-yard scramble on a 3rd-and-19 from the Atlanta 43 at the 2:45 mark of the fourth quarter kept the Bucs' final drive alive, and Winston eventually threw the winning six-yard touchdown to Mike Evans to close out the series. The 2015 first overall pick also had a five-yard scramble into the end zone in the first quarter to culminate a 13-play, 77-yard drive that opened the scoring. Despite throwing an interception for the second straight game, Winston is seemingly improving each week, and has thrown for over 200 yards in every game but one this season. He also has posted an impressive 16:10 touchdown to interception ratio, and has added four touchdowns on the ground. Winston and the Bucs might be in for a shootout in Tampa's Week 14 home tilt versus the Saints.

  • Andy Dalton QB | PHI

    Bengals' Andy Dalton: Scores through the air and ground against Cleveland

    Dalton completed 14 of 19 passes for 220 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's win over Cleveland. He added 11 rushing yards and a touchdown on four carries.

    Sunday represented season lows for Dalton in completions and attempts as the Bengals chose to pound the ball against Cleveland's weak rush defense. He still managed to total at least three touchdowns for the seventh time this season. Dalton recorded just two such games all of last season. Expect a few more such games down the stretch once Dalton gets his favorite red-zone target, Tyler Eifert, back in the fold.

  • Tyrod Taylor QB | GB

    Bills' Tyrod Taylor: Scores four TDs in win

    Taylor (shoulder) completed 11 of 21 passes for 211 yards and three touchdowns Sunday against the Texans. He also rushed seven times for 28 yards and another score.

    Taylor connected with only five different receivers, with wideout Sammy Watkins leading the team with 109 yards and a touchdown. Taylor's other scores went to Charles Clay (four catches for 66 yards) and Robert Woods (two for 19), as he threw for three touchdowns for the fourth time this season, including both of the last two games. He's been very good at not turning the ball over, as he has just one lost fumble this season and his last interception came back in Week 4. Up next is a Week 14 trip to Philadelphia to take on an Eagles defense that has allowed the second-most passing touchdowns this season.

  • Ryan Tannehill QB | TEN

    Dolphins' Ryan Tannehill: Held to 86 passing yards by Ravens

    Tannehill completed 9-of-19 passes for a season-low 86 yards, and picked up 11 yards on his lone rush in Sunday's 15-13 win over the Ravens.

    Tannehill has been incredibly inconsistent of late, with two games over 300 passing yards and two under 200 over his last five. He has nowhere to go but up next week against the Giants, as it's doubtful that Tannehill can be be contained by below-average pass defenses for two straight weeks. Tannehill's second-quarter touchdown pass gave the fourth-year quarterback eight passing scores over the last four weeks.
