8. Philip Rivers (LW: 5)

Rivers have 13 touchdowns and two interceptions, putting the future Hall of Famer on pace for another Pro Bowl season and potentially some All-Pro consideration. Again, the drop here is because Luck is doing more with less over the last few games, while Cousins is simply the most underrated player of the season.

7. Andrew Luck (LW: 10)

Have you see who Luck is playing with in Indianapolis? The Colts have no weapons to speak of with T.Y. Hilton and Jack Doyle banged up, they can’t run the ball and the offensive line continues to be shaky at best. None of it matters, as Luck, fresh off shoulder surgery, has thrown for 1,491 yards and 12 touchdowns. Insane.

6. Kirk Cousins (LW: 9)

Cousins was brilliant on Sunday, eclipsing the 300-yard mark while going 30-of-37 on the road to beat the Eagles in a borderline must-win affair. Minnesota spent $84 million guaranteed to upgrade from Keenum to Cousins, and it was more than worth the money.

5. Patrick Mahomes (LW: 4)

Mahomes finally looked mortal on Sunday, throwing a pair of interceptions to finally give him a turnover on the season. The Chiefs still managed a 30-14 win over Jacksonville’s top-ranked defense, while Mahomes threw for 304 yards and ran for a score. He’s the favorite for MVP at this juncture.
