12. Carson Wentz (LW: 12)
Wentz has played very well in his three games back after tearing his ACL in December. The former second-overall pick already has 914 yards while hitting on 67.2 percent of his throws. He’ll be moving up the list in short order, especially once the Eagles stop dropping passes and taking needless penalties.
11. Ben Roethlisberger (LW: 11)
Roethlisberger wasn’t perfect on Sunday despite the 41-17 score in Pittsburgh’s thumping win over Atlanta. He threw for less than 300 yards and tossed a brutal pick in the red zone, but he and the Steelers overcame. All told, Roethlisberger is on pace for near 5,000 yards and 30 touchdowns. Not bad.
10. Russell Wilson (LW: 8)
Wilson doesn’t drop because he’s not great. He drops because the man is going to have an impossible time putting up any kind of numbers with this supporting cast. Wilson is phenomenal, but his output will be lesser than his contemporaries due to Brian Schottenheimer and a total lack of help.
9. Matt Ryan (LW: 7)
Ryan falls two spots through no fault of his own, but rather the exceptional play of Andrew Luck and Kirk Cousins over the past two weeks. In reality, there is very little separating quarterbacks at the top of the league right now, it’s been a terrific year for passers.
