Week 11 is in the books. Let’s take a look around the league and see where all the quarterbacks rank after the action.
32. New York Jets Zach Wilson (Last Week #29)
Man, just when you thought it couldn’t get worse for Zach Wilson, he puts up a performance like that in an absolute must-win situation against Buffalo. Not to mention that he got benched for Tim Boyle!
31. New England Patriots Mac Jones (Last Week #31)
It isn’t clear if Mac Jones’s time as the starter in New England is over with New England on the bye after his latest stinker of a game.
Either way though, Jones is a perennial cellar dweller in the QB power rankings.
30. Carolina Panthers Bryce Young (Last Week #27)

Another week, another poor showing from Bryce Young—though it is worth noting that the Panthers haven’t done him any favors with the way they’ve constructed the offense around their rookie quarterback.
29. BYE Atlanta Falcons Desmond Ridder (Last Week N/A)
With Taylor Heinicke’s health in question, the Falcons are turning back to Desmond Ridder coming off the bye. Atlanta will need their young quarterback to take a major step forward if they want to make a playoff push.
28. Las Vegas Raiders Aidan O’Connell (Last Week #24)
Aidan O’Connell took a step back this week with his team taking a step up in competition against the Dolphins. The Raiders QB completed 27 of 41 passes for 271 yards and a score, but surrendered three picks that ultimately ended up costing Vegas the game.
27. Pittsburgh Steelers Kenny Pickett (Last Week #20)
It was another quiet week for Kenny Pickett. The Steelers second-year quarterback couldn’t get much going against a stout Browns defense. He finished with just 15 completions on 28 attempts for 106 yards and no touchdowns.
26. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Baker Mayfield (Last Week #15)
After a strong first drive, Baker Mayfield really quieted down in Week 11. The Buccaneers quarterback finished having completed 29 of 45 attempts for 246 yards and one touchdown with one interception against a tough Niners defense.
25. Cincinnati Bengals Jake Browning (Last Week N/A)
Jake Browning is no Joe Burrow—that much is clear. The Bengals backup played alright after Burrow went down against Baltimore though, completing eight of 14 passes for 68 yards and a touchdown.
24. Cleveland Browns Dorian Thompson-Robinson (Last Week N/A)
DTR wasn’t anything special in his returning to starting duties, but he managed to protect the football well enough to enable Cleveland’s defense to do its thing and knock off Pittsburgh.
23. New York Giants Tommy DeVito (Last Week #32)
Tommy DeVito throwing for 246 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions is the upset of the season. Even if it came against a Washington defense that appears to be very much in flux after the fire sale at the trade deadline.
22. Chicago Bears Justin Fields (Last Week N/A)
Bears fans had to be relieved to see Justin Fields back in the action this week. Chicago’s dual-threat quarterback played well in his return from injury going for over 100 yards on the ground and making some quality throws as well.
21. Green Bay Packers Jordan Love (Last Week #25)
Week 11 was the best game we’ve seen out of Jordan Love this year by far. The Packers first-year starter finished with 322 passing yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions.
20. Tennessee Titans Will Levis (Last Week #22)
He may not have been given a huge volume of attempts this weekend against Jacksonville, but Will Levis was efficient with the opportunities that he had, completing 13 of 17 passes for 158 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions.
19. Los Angeles Matthew Stafford (Last Week N/A)
Things looked dire for the Rams in the first half, especially with Cooper Kupp going out with an injury, but Stafford strung together an impressive performance in the second half to lead the Rams to a season-saving comeback.
18. BYE Indianapolis Colts Gardner Minshew (Last Week #19)
Gardner Minshew and the Colts had a chance to rest up this week on bye. He has been more than serviceable filling in for the injured Anthony Richardson most of the season.
17. BYE New Orleans Saints Derek Carr (Last Week #17)
With Derek Carr battling a shoulder injury and concussion issues, the bye couldn’t have come at a better time for the Saints. New Orleans has a big week coming up against Atlanta and they have to be hoping that Carr can find his way back in time—otherwise, it is Jamies Winston time.
16. Jacksonville Jaguars Trevor Lawrence (Last Week #23)
Trevor Lawrence looked relieved this week—it was either to be playing the Titans and not the 49ers or the injuries that were nagging him had healed up. Either way, he looked way better than he has in recent weeks, which Jacksonville is going to need down the stretch of this season.
15. Minnesota Vikings Joshua Dobbs (Last Week #9)
Joshua Dobbs was good, but not great this week—or at least not great enough, as Minnesota’s win streak was snapped against the Broncos. He finished with 20 completions on 32 attempts for 221 yards and one touchdown while surrendering one interception.
The dual-threat quarterback also added 21 yards and another touchdown on the ground.
14. Washington Commanders Sam Howell (Last Week #5)
Sam Howell wasn’t at his best this week against the lowly Giants. Washington’s young QB surrendered three interceptions in the embarrassing loss.
13. Arizona Cardinals Kyler Murray (Last Week #16)
Arizona may not have won, but it had to feel good to see another strong showing out of Kyler Murray in his return from ACL surgery. He completed nearly 67 percent of his passes for 214 yards, one touchdown—and one interception—and tacked on seven carries for 51 yards and another score.
12. Denver Broncos Russell Wilson (Last Week #21)
It is still too early to declare Russell Wilson all the way back, but the Broncos QB has started to turn it around in Denver. He’s led his team to four straight wins—and had an epic game-winning drive in Week 11.
11. Seattle Seahawks Geno Smith (Last Week #11)
Geno Smith looked great before injuring his triceps, which is a shame because the Seahawks looked like they had the game won until they had to bring Drew Lock in.
10. Buffalo Bills Josh Allen (Last Week #13)
Josh Allen looked much better this week against what has generally been a strong Jets defense. Granted, New York was down bad battling through the Zach Wilson blues, but still, credit to Allen for his 275-yard, three-touchdown performance.
Plus, he only turned the ball over once, which is a marketed improvement for him this year.
9. Los Angeles Chargers Justin Herbert (Last Week #6)
After a huge Week 10, Justin Herbert took a slight step back this week with his showing against the Packers, though, he probably still deserved the win considering he went for 260 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions.
Alas, such is life as the Chargers quarterback.
8. Houston Texans C.J. Stroud (Last Week #3)
C.J. Stroud didn’t play perfectly for Houston this week, as he took three sacks and allowed three interceptions, but the rookie quarterback still managed to complete 27 of 37 attempts for 336 yards and two scores.
7. Detroit Lions Jared Goff (Last Week #7)
It was a tough start for Jared Goff this week tossing two early interceptions, but Detroit’s QB1 played well in the second half against Chicago and finished with over 300 yards and two touchdowns in a winning effort.
6. Miami Dolphins Tua Tagovailoa (Last Week #10)
Tua did a good job of going to the well that is Tyreek Hill when he had to this week. The duo hooked up 10 times for 146 yards and a touchdown in route to a critical win against Las Vegas.
5. Baltimore Ravens Lamar Jackson (Last Week #14)
Lamar Jackson had a big week for the Ravens. Baltimore’s franchise quarterback completed 16 of 26 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns—and tacked on an additional 54 yards on nine carries.
4. San Francisco 49ers Brock Purdy (Last Week #12)
Tough to play much better than Brock Purdy did this week against Tampa Bay… Wait—it is technically impossible, after all, the Niners quarterback finished with a 158.3 rating—maxing out the mysterious scale.
3. Dallas Cowboys Dak Prescott (Last Week #1)
Dak had himself another solid week, though less was asked of him against the lowly the Panthers. Prescott completed 25 of 38 for 189 yards and two scores with no interceptions. He only took a step back because of the competition he’s been facing and because Mahomes and Jalen Hurts were so impressive on Monday Night Football.
2. Kansas City Chiefs Patrick Mahomes (Last Week #4)
What else is there to say about Patrick Mahomes at this point. Despite having one of the least consistent receiving corps around the league he continues to make spectacular plays week in and week out.
1. Philadelphia Eagles Jalen Hurts (Last Week #2)
It wasn’t pretty, but man, is Jalen Hurts one heck of a competitor. He was clearly hobbled by that nagging knee injury, but hat didn’t stop Philly’s quarterback from balling out, particularly in the second half, to lead the Eagles to a win against the defending champs.
