Week 15 stats: 19-of-31, 221 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT (Colt McCoy)

Daniel Jones, who missed last week with hamstring and ankle injuries, says he's doing everything he can to be available for Sunday's game against the Ravens. Not sure that's a good thing given the season he's had.

Last week's ranking: 29

Week 15 stats: 38-of-55, 295 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT, 28 rush yards (Dwayne Haskins)

There needs to be a book written on Dwayne Haskins' 2020 season. Despite being stripped of his captaincy for being seen maskless at a strip club, Haskins figures to be Washington's starter this week with Alex Smith presumably still out.

Nick Mullens is out for the year, meaning the 49ers are on their third starter of the season. They signed Josh Rosen off Tampa's practice squad.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? Newton's been a horrid passer and the team should be starting Jarrett Stidham for the sake of finding out whether the team's young pass-catchers can play. They won't know that with Newton sailing the ball over their heads.

In what's been a chaotic season for him, Lock just had a regular, pretty bad game. Boring. Give me the four-touchdown-or-four-pick guy.

With another loss, Bridgewater has the Panthers in prime position to draft his replacement. Should the Patriots want him if he's cheap? I'd pass.

Tagovailoa was a non-factor against the Patriots, which was predictable. The Dolphins still won, which was also predictable.

Trubisky was efficient and unimpressive against the Vikings. Maybe that's his thing.

Say this for Marcus Mariota: He was exciting in that loss to the Chargers. Win or lose, Derek Carr is never exciting. Carr's up to full participation in practice after leaving the Week 14 contest with a groin injury, so we'll see who gets the nod against Miami.

Given that this is a Patriots-centric website, it would be silly of me to not note that Hurts has been good in his two games as a starter. The Patriots took Kyle Dugger several picks ahead of him. That'll be worth keeping an eye on down the road.

Minshew was good in his return as the Jaguars' starter. Too bad his team's a catastrophe. I'd be keeping an eye on him if I were the Pats.

I know that Alex Smith will most likely get Comeback Player of the Year and he deserves it, but if there were an award for coming back from sucking at football, Mayfield would deserve it. He's had a solid season after last year's disappointment.

Don't fact-check me on this, but this has to be the lowest I've had Wilson on here since the season began. (Editor's note: We did fact check DJ... and it's true.) He's only had one game with multiple touchdowns over the last four contests. He's thrown picks in three of those games.
