20. Derek Carr (LW: 21) 

Carr isn’t great, but he’s also better than what we’ve seen this year. The Raiders are a complete and total mess, Jon Gruden treats scheme like we’re in 1995, and the supporting cast is basically Jordy Nelson and a bunch of random dudes. Brutal year for Carr and Co.

19. Dak Prescott (LW: 19)

The Cowboys are coming off the bye week and need a win over Tennessee. Prescott is going to be the key in winning some of the closer ballgames, turning a slugfest into a contest with some breathing room. So far, Prescott is 27th in yardage with 6.88 yards per attempt. Not ideal.

18. Joe Flacco (LW: 16)

Flacco was playing pretty well this season, and then he went and threw three picks in a loss to the Panthers. The Ravens have a great defense, but they can’t win against good teams when Flacco is tossing interceptions left and right. The former Blue Hens star needs to manage the offense and hit the occasional deep shot.

17. Andy Dalton (LW: 18)

Dalton went for 280 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the win over Tampa Bay, a stat line made nicer by his counterpart, Jameis Winston, throwing interceptions at a record pace. Dalton is what he is: an average quarterback who often beats bad teams and loses to good ones.
