Hurts completed 18 of 25 passes for 190 yards and one touchdown while running for 86 yards and another score on 16 carries against Indianapolis on Sunday.

The Colts successfully stymied the Eagles' big-play offense, hoping Hurts would make mistakes when denied the big play. It was a good game plan and well executed by the Colts, but Hurts never made the mistakes Indianapolis hoped for. In fact, the star quarterback put the Eagles offense on his back and stood tall against the Colts' inspired performance. Hurts and the Eagles' offense won't be denied big plays for long, and their Week 12 matchup against Green Bay could prove a viable setting for more all-around production.

Wilson completed nine of 22 passes for 77 yards and rushed three times for 26 yards in Sunday's 10-3 loss to the Patriots.

After completing only one of his first six passes for six yards, Wilson uncorked a 34-yard moonball down the sideline to Denzel Mims, which set up a game-tying field goal in the second quarter. He got no help from the running game in the first half, as Jets running backs combined for 10 yards on nine rushing attempts while Wilson himself had 26 yards on three scrambles. New York's ground game stayed quiet after halftime while Wilson failed to make an impact with either his arms or his legs -- the Jets picked up just two first downs in the second half in a game that was decided by a Patriots punt return touchdown in the final seconds. Wilson will look to shake off this disastrous performance in Week 12 against a far less stout Bears defense.

Stafford isn't in the concussion protocol after Sunday's 27-20 loss at New Orleans, but he's slated for additional tests Monday and/or Tuesday to determine if he'll enter it, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Stafford departed in the third quarter to be evaluated for a head injury, and it's unknown whether or not he sustained one. Previously, he didn't enter the protocol until the Tuesday after a loss at Tampa Bay on Sunday, Nov. 6, so there is precedence for such a late diagnosis for Stafford. With John Wolford inactive this Sunday due to a neck injury, Bryce Perkins took over under center for Stafford, completing five of 10 passes for 64 yards and recording five carries for 39 yards.

Jackson completed 24 of 33 passes for 209 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while adding 11 carries for 31 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 13-3 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Jackson and the entire Ravens offense looked out of sorts most of the afternoon, but the star signal-caller was able to put together a serviceable fantasy performance overall with the help of a tough one-yard touchdown run just past the midway point of the fourth quarter. Jackson had top target Mark Andrews back from a shoulder injury as well and connected with him on six occasions for 63 yards, but he notably displayed his greatest rapport with journeyman Demarcus Robinson (nine receptions, 128 yards). Jackson failed to throw a touchdown for only the second time all season, and he'll aim to revive his production in that category against the Jaguars defense in a Week 12 road battle.

Heinicke completed 15 of 27 passes for 191 yards against Houston on Sunday.

Washington built a safe lead early in this game, and perhaps the resulting lack of urgency had something to do with Heinicke's middling production. Heinicke took six quarterback hits from a usually lackluster Texans pass rush, but he'll aim for a better performance against another team with trouble pressuring the quarterback in the Falcons in Week 12.

Jones completed 23 of 27 passes for 246 yards and rushed twice for three yards in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Jets.

Jones didn't produce a touchdown, but he didn't turn the ball over, either. He led the Patriots down the field for a field goal to open the scoring early in the second quarter, but Jones took an ill-timed sack on the following drive that proved significant, as Nick Folk's field-goal attempt on the next play clanked off the crossbar to keep the score tied at three. While Jones was accurate, his dinking and dunking failed to generate any more points against New York's defense. That didn't matter, as New England scored a punt return touchdown in the final seconds to win it. The Patriots improved to 6-4 heading into a Thanksgiving Day trip to Minnesota.

Allen completed 18 of 27 passes for 197 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and rushed three times for seven yards in the Bills' 31-23 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Following a week of plenty of upheaval for the Bills, Allen and his offensive teammates were nowhere near their top level of efficiency. However, after a slow start, Allen was able to build some momentum beginning late in the second quarter, when he hit Stefon Diggs for a five-yard touchdown. Allen then went on to helm five second-half scoring drives, although all but one ended in a Tyler Bass field goal. The quiet performance was a disappointment overall for fantasy managers, but Allen snapped a three-game streak of multi-interception performances and now gets an immediate chance to put together a more prolific effort at Ford Field when Buffalo faces the Lions on Thanksgiving afternoon.

Fields completed 14 of 21 passes for 153 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Falcons. He added 85 yards and a touchdown on 18 rushing attempts. Per Adam Jahns of The Athletic, Fields was favoring his left (non-throwing) shoulder after the game and was taken to the locker room for further evaluation.

Fields threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to Darnell Mooney to tie the score at seven apiece, but he missed a wide open Mooney on a deep ball later in the first quarter. While Fields is still a work in progress with his arm, there's no doubting his rushing prowess. His mobility was on full display in the second quarter, as Fields ran in a four-yard touchdown and finished the first half with more rushing yards (73) than passing yards (71). Atlanta adjusted at halftime and took away his running lanes, while Fields failed to make the Falcons pay with his arm. He has blossomed into a quality fantasy quarterback thanks to his contributions on the ground, but Fields' availability for Chicago's Week 12 game against the Jets is up in the air pending an update on his injured shoulder.

Stafford is being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Saints.

With Stafford out of the game, Bryce Perkins is now in at QB for the Rams. Stafford was inactive last week due to a concussion but cleared the protocol ahead of Sunday. Prior to his exit, Stafford completed 11 of 18 passes for 159 yards and two TDs.

Wolford (neck) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Even though Wolford finished Week 11 prep as a full practice participant, he took a questionable tag into Sunday and will ultimately take a seat for the first time all season. Bryce Perkins will dress as the No. 2 quarterback behind starter Matthew Stafford, who returns to the lineup after sitting out the Rams' Week 10 loss to the Cardinals while he was in the NFL's concussion protocol. Wolford started last week in Stafford's absence, completing 24 of 36 pass attempts for 212 yards, one touchdown and one interception while carrying three times for three yards and losing a fumble.
