Trent Green Division

16. Deshaun Watson (LW: 19)

Watson is running for his life on almost every snap, because Houston can’t block in the least. The Texans allowed their young star — fresh off an ACL tear — to be sacked seven times in Indianapolis, but that didn’t stop him from throwing for 375 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Houston’s controversial win over the Colts.

15. Andy Dalton (LW: 16)

Dalton was every bit the quality quarterback Cincinnati needed him to be against the Falcons. Atlanta was able to hang 36 points on the Bengals’ defense, but Dalton continued firing, ultimately hitting A.J. Green with the game-winning touchdown pass in the final seconds. All told, Dalton has 1,197 yards and 11 touchdowns through four games.

14. Cam Newton (LW: 15)

Newton was off in Week 3 with Carolina enjoying an early week off. Now, he gets to face the New York Giants, who at 1-3 are both desperate and not talented enough to do anything about it. Newton should be able to enjoy a productive game at home against New York.

13. Matthew Stafford (LW: 12)

Stafford has an extremely talented offense around him. Kerryon Johnson is an emerging talent at running back, the offensive line is solid, and the trio of Golden Tate, Marvin Jones Jr. and Kenny Golladay can compare to almost anybody. Still, Stafford and the Lions find themselves 1-3, largely because the defense stinks and the coaching is highly questionable.
