16. Case Keenum (Prev: 21)

Keenum deserves a ton of credit. The Vikings are 6-2 and while the defense has been the driving force, Keenum has thrown for 1,610 yards and seven touchdowns. He’s done a terrific job holding down the fort.

15. Marcus Mariota (Prev: 15)

Mariota has to get going following his team’s bye week. The Hawaiian has just four touchdown passes on the campaign, something that seems impossible considering his skill set. If he doesn’t step up, the Titans won’t be playing come January.

14. Derek Carr (Prev: 13)

After throwing for 414 yards against the Chiefs, Carr came crashing back to earth against the Bills on Sunday. Last year’s MVP candidate threw for 313 yards but on 49 attempts with a pair of interceptions.

13. Jared Goff (Prev: 14)

Goff gets to play the Giants this weekend, who typically play stingy pass defense thanks to corners Janoris Jenkins and Dominiue Rodgers-Cromartie. If Goff can avoid mistakes, the Rams should improve to 6-2.
