NFL quarterback rankings, Week 13: Alex Smith craters

Ken O’Brien Division

16. Andy Dalton (Prev: 19)

Dalton has been very average this season, throwing 18 touchdowns but only completing 62 percent of his attempts. Somehow, the Bengals are 5-6 and just a game out of a wild card berth.

15. Jacoby Brissett (Prev: 14)

Brissett has the look of a potential franchise quarterback. He’s only in his second year and playing behind a horrid offensive line with just T.Y. Hilton as a real weapon. All that said, Brissett has 2,368 yards with nine touchdowns and five interceptions.

14. Tyrod Taylor (Prev: 18)

Taylor is back in the saddle for the Bills and while his numbers are nothing special (2,025 yards, 12 TDs, 3 INTs) he takes care of the ball and gives you something with his mobility.

13. Dak Prescott (Prev: 12)

Without Ezekiel Elliott, Prescott looks a bit exposed. We don’t drop him too far because the Cowboys are a mess around him in all phases, but Prescott has to be better on Thursday night against the Redskins.
