25. Mitchell Trubisky (LW: 30)

Holy hell, where has this version of Trubisky been? The former No. 2 overall pick went out and torched the Buccaneeers for five first-half touchdowns before tacking on a sixth score in the 48-10 win. If Trubisky can play anywhere near that level, the Bears are a contender in the stacked NFC North.

24. Eli Manning (LW: 22)

Manning wasn’t terrible in the loss to the Saints. He completed 31-of-41 passes, but he continues to throw short despite a bevy of weapons, totaling 255 yards and one touchdown. Averaging 6.99 yards per attempt isn’t getting it done when the run game is bogging down and the defense is middling.

23. Marcus Mariota (LW: 27)

Mariota has been hurt for much of the year, but he showed up in a big way against the defending-champion Eagles. The Hawaiian went for 344 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in the overtime victory, and while he still needs to showcase his value more often, it was a nice step for the 3-1 Titans.

22. Dak Prescott (LW: 24)

Prescott finally threw for more than 200 yards! The Cowboys needed a last-minute drive to win the game against Detroit and Prescott delivered, despite Ezekiel Elliott being his main man down the stretch. Dallas isn’t talented on the outside, so Prescott must continue being creative in and out of the pocket.

21. Ryan Tannehill (LW: 20)

Tannehill threw for 100 yards against the Patriots before being benched for Brock Osweiler. Enough said.
