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.

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.

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.

Bradford is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Bradford, who is making his first appearance since Week 10, will take aim Sunday at a Patriots defense that ranks 19th in the league against the pass, allowing an average of 252.6 yards in the air per game to date.

Keenum (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Keenum has managed to achieve passage through the concussion protocol, but his inability to practice beyond a limited capacity this week spurred head coach Jeff Fisher to name Nick Foles the Rams' starting quarterback for the second consecutive contest. However, Keenum will serve as the No. 2 signal caller Sunday in anticipation of a return to the starting role next Sunday versus the Lions.

Taylor (right shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Taylor is out there if you need him Sunday, though he'll face off against a Texans' squad that is coming off four straight wins, while having tightened things up on defense in the process, surrendering just 35 points in that span.

Keenum (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Head coach Jeff Fisher named Nick Foles the starting quarterback, so the only real question remaining is whether Keenum or Sean Mannion will serve as the backup. Either way, Keenum can be ignored this week, though it won't be surprising if he makes another start before the end of the season.

Taylor (right shoulder) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Texans.

After being limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday, Taylor was a full participant Friday and he's in line to face a Texans' squad that has reeled off four straight wins, while tightening things up on defense, allowing a total of 35 points in that span.

Bradford is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Bradford practiced fully Friday for the third day in a row, so he is set to play Sunday for the first time since Week 10. He will square off against a Patriots defense that allowed 270 passing yards last week and ranks 19th in the league against the pass.

Stafford completed 23 of 35 passes for 220 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's 27-23 loss to the Packers, adding two carries for 22 yards with a lost fumble.

Stafford didn't play a bad game overall, but he mostly settled for short passes, and then lost a crucial fumble in the third quarter to let Green Bay right back into the contest. He later redeemed himself with a 29-yard completion to T.J. Jones that seemingly sealed the game, but the Packers got the ball back with 23 seconds remaining and won on a hail mary. Despite the disappointment of losing out on any last-ditch playoff hopes, Stafford and the rest of the Detroit offense have undeniably shown significant improvement in recent weeks. The Lions will get some extra rest ahead of a Week 14 road matchup with a Rams defense that has recently felt the toll of some key injuries.
