The quarterback rankings are behind turned upside down by Patrick Mahomes and Ryan Fitzpatrick after stunning starts.

This week, and every Tuesday of the season, the rankings are based with a combination of current play and performance of an indicator of what is to come.

Scott Zolak Division

32. Blaine Gabbert (LW: NA)

Gabbert has no business being in the NFL. He completed 13-of-20 attempts for the Titans on Sunday, going for a meager 117 yards and a touchdown. Tennessee was able to survive Week 2 because of great defense and a special teams score, but that black magic isn’t going to last forever.

31. Josh Allen (LW: 32)

Buffalo decided that Josh Allen was an upgrade over Nathan Peterman, and it was correct. Allen wasn’t great — he threw a pair of ugly interceptions — but he did account for 245 yards and a touchdown as well. The Bills have no help for their rookie quarterback, putting him in an impossible situation.

30. Sam Bradford (LW: 29)

For the love of God, start Josh Rosen. Bradford is a poor man’s Alex Smith, attempting 27 passes and somehow only netting 90 yards. At this juncture, Bradford is good for short completions and a whole lot of punts, evidenced by the eight straight that Arizona began the game with.
