Michael Vick Division

16. Cam Newton

Newton is simply playing average football. The 2015 MVP has a 58.1 completion rate and with just 10 passing touchdowns, isn’t inspiring a comeback in Carolina.

15. Marcus Mariota

Mariota could be in the top 10 next week if he shreds Indianapolis. With 21 touchdowns and 2,482 passing yards, the Hawaiian is playing absolutely lights out for Tennessee.

14. Russell Wilson

Wilson has not been himself this season, mostly because of injuries and a bad offensive line. Yet, he was vintage on Sunday night, beating the Patriots with his legs, brain and arm. Look for Wilson to have a huge second half.

Terry Bradshaw Division

13. Andy Dalton

Dalton continues to toil with the Bengals, who might miss the playoffs for the first time in six years. The redhead is putting together perhaps his best season yet, though, despite the losses of Mohamed Sanu and Marvin Jones.

12. Eli Manning

Manning is pretty much the same player every week. He’s consistently inconsistent. One thing you can bank on is close to 300 yards and a turnover or two. So why does he rank this high? Manning makes plays.

11. Kirk Cousins

Cousins continues to play good football, ranking fourth in passing yards. Whether it is with Washington or elsewhere, Cousins is going to get a contract that might exceed $100 million in total value.
