Tommy Maddox Division

25. Tyrod Taylor

Taylor has to be feeling pressure. The Bills face a very expensive option on his contract, one that likely doesn’t get picked up. He could be an interesting free agent.

24. Sam Bradford

Bradford has a great completion rate (71.2). Unfortunately, much of that is because Bradford checks down almost every play.

23. Carson Wentz

Wentz and the Eagles have really tailed off over the past two months. The kid shows promise, but his seven touchdowns and 11 interceptions through the past nine games tells the story.

22. Trevor Siemian

Siemia should be back Sunday, and that’s huge for the Broncos. Siemian is proving to be an NFL quarterback, although maybe more backup than starter.

Jake Plummer Division

21. Carson Palmer

Palmer has thrown too many interceptions (11) but he also ranks ninth in the league with 3,231 yards to go with 18 touchdowns.

20. Cam Newton

Newton has been bad this season. No way around it. He might have won the MVP in 2015, but this version is rough. Newton has a completion percentage of 54.7.

19. Eli Manning

Manning is a talented two-time Super Bowl champ, but he throws a ton of ugly picks. The Giants probably beat the Steelers on Sunday if not for Manning literally throwing the game away.

18. Joe Flacco

Flacco has amassed 3,258 passing yards, but he has not looked the same after tearing his ACL and MCL last November. His 15 touchdowns and 11 interceptions is evidence of that.

17. Alex Smith

On Sunday, Smith was 21-of-25 for 270 yards in a sublime effort against the Falcons. Smith drives everyone insane, but he wins and wins.
