Hoyer (concussion) is still Houston's starting quarterback after being sidelined in Week 11's win over the Jets, according to head coach Bill O'Brien, the Houston Chronicle reports. "Hoyer is our starter," O'Brien said. "When he comes back, when he's healthy, he'll come back in there and we've spoken to T.J. (Yates) about that."

T.J. Yates started at quarterback during Sunday's win over the Jets, but O'Brien expects Hoyer, who has made significant improvement, to be ready to go next week against the Saints.

Tannehill completed just 13 of 24 passes for 188 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. He also gained 13 yards on three carries.

The meager yardage output was Tannehill's lowest of the season, thanks to constant harassment from the Dallas defense, but he was able to salvage the day for his owners with the pair of scores. Tannehill's fantasy output has been all over the map since Dan Campbell took over as head coach, placing added emphasis on the run, but he has still thrown for multiple scores in four of the last six. The Dolphins will hit the road to take on the Jets in Week 12.

Bridgewater completed 25 of 37 passes for 296 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Packers. He was sacked six times, and finished with 43 rushing yards on four carries.

Bridgewater took a number of big hits, and had to leave the game briefly in the first half. While he showed toughness throughout, he couldn't make enough plays in the end. His fantasy production continues to be limited, with just one 300-yard passing game, and one touchdown or less in nine of 10 contests this season. The second-year QB has added some fantasy value as a runner, with a couple of touchdowns on the ground. Next week, he and the Vikings will travel to Atlanta to play the Falcons, who have generally held opposing QBs in check this year.

Rodgers completed 16 of 34 passes for 212 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-13 win at Minnesota.

In a tough matchup against a good defense, Rodgers didn't complete a lot of passes, but made some big throws, including a gorgeous 27-yard touchdown to James Jones in the fourth quarter. Rodgers' streak of two 300-yard passing games came to an end, and was held to two or fewer touchdowns for the eighth time this season, but the offense functioned a bit better, as Eddie Lacy got back on track by rumbling for a season-high 100 yards on 22 carries. The veteran QB should find things easier next week, facing the Bears at Lambeau Field.

Wilson completed 24 of 29 passes for 260 yards and a season-high three touchdowns in Sunday's 29-13 win over the 49ers. He also ran nine times for 30 yards.

In one of Wilson's most favorable matchups of the season, he put together a great fantasy game, tossing a pair of touchdowns to rookie Tyler Lockett and adding another to Thomas Rawls. Until Sunday's mini explosion, Wilson had been a boring, yet steady option this season, with over 200 passing yards and at least one touchdown in all 10 games. His prowess as a runner has provided a boost too, scampering for 386 yards, although he's still searching for his first rushing touchdown (he scored six times on the ground in 2014). On the flip side, he still hasn't thrown for more than 300 yards and has just two games with multiple passing touchdowns. Next up for Wilson will be a relatively tough matchup with the Steelers at home.

Gabbert completed 22 of 34 passes for 264 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-13 loss at Seattle. He also ran four times for 22 yards.

Gabbert played well in San Francisco's Week 9 win over Atlanta, leading them to a surprising victory. Things played out a little differently Sunday against the Legion of Boom, although Gabbert looked more than adequate as San Francisco's new starting QB, making several nice throws in and out of the pocket. With Colin Kaepernick (shoulder) on season-ending IR, Gabbert won't have to look over his shoulder each week. Next up for the 49ers will be another tough test against Arizona.

Stafford completed 22 of 35 passes for 282 yards in Sunday's win over Oakland. He added six carries for 31 yards and a touchdown.

With his team trailing 13-9 early in the fourth quarter, Stafford ran in a five-yard score on a quarterback draw. It was just the third rushing touchdown of the season for Detroit, and the first since Week 3. Overall, Sunday was one of Stafford's cleaner performances of the season as the team got back to pushing the ball down field, completing five passes of 20 or more yards after averaging just three per game coming into Sunday. With bye weeks now over, Stafford has lost his value as a fill-in, but he may be worth keeping around in case the Lions continue their climb out of the abyss.

Carr completed 13 of 25 passes for 169 yards in Sunday's loss to the Lions. He added eight yards on two carries and fumbled during the game.

Sunday was Carr's first game since Week 1 without a touchdown pass. He was likewise limited to his lowest totals in attempts, completions and yardage since Week 1, all against a Detroit defense that came into Sunday's game ranked sixth worst in the league in yards per attempt and pass plays over 20 yards surrendered. Seeing as how Carr entered Sunday with multiple touchdown passes in seven of his last eight games and five games of 300 yards or more, fantasy owners should feel comfortable with the notion that Sunday's game was a slip-up and that Carr's rise up the fantasy ladder should continue.

Cousins comopleted 22 of 30 passes for 207 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's loss to the Panthers. He also lost a pair of fumbles and gained four yards on his only carry of the game.

The 27-year-old started off strong by launching a 56-yard touchdown pass to DeSean Jackson in the first quarter, but the stout Panthers defense came to life and kept the Redskins' offense off the board for the rest of the day. The three turnovers matched a season-high for Cousins, who had done well in that regard with just two in the previous three games. Cousins' fantasy outputs can vary significantly from week to week, but he will have the chance to bounce back against a beatable Giants secondary next week.

Keenum completed just 12-of-26 passes for 136 yards and a touchdown in his first start of the season Sunday in Baltimore. He also lost two fumbles, and possibly suffered a concussion.

Keenum failed to spark the struggling Rams passing game, proving that he isn't much of an upgrade over the recently-benched Nick Foles. While Foles was averaging only 186.4 passing yards per game on a 56.6 percent completion percentage, Keenum actually failed to reach either of those bench marks. Keenum's availability for next week's tilt against the Bengals is in question, as the quarterback was being evaluated for a concussion after the game.
