Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady gave us a shootout for the ages, showing us that the king is unbowed, while the challenger is coming quickly.

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.

Jim Druckenmiller Division

32. Josh Allen (LW: 32)

Allen has been terrible, even factoring in the complete lack of talent around him. At some point, Allen is deserving of some blame for his stat line, which includes a 54 percent completion rate, two touchdowns and five interceptions. He’s also going for 5.99 yards per attempt, which ranks 33rd of 34 qualified quarterbacks.

31. Brock Osweiler (LW: NA)

Brocktober! Yes, Osweiler was actually solid against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, throwing for 380 yards, three touchdowns and, yes, two interceptions in an overtime win. However, Osweiler’s history tells us that this is going to be the exception and not the rule moving forward. Interesting to see if Ryan Tannehill starts this Sunday.

30. Blake Bortles (LW: 30)

Bortles deserves to be in this class. Forget about the passing yardage, because much of it has come in garbage time or against lousy teams. Outside of one terrific performance in Week 2 against the Patriots, Bortles has been bad throughout the season, making Jacksonville’s confidence in him this offseason appear to be a costly error.
