8. Matt Ryan (LW: 6)

Ryan threw for 330 yards and two touchdowns against the Browns in a stunning loss, and he moves down a couple pegs. It’s not even the defeat, but rather that Ryan threw for 6.3 yards per attempt against Cleveland in a must-win game. Can’t happen.

7. Russell Wilson (LW: 7)

Wilson wasn’t asked to do much in the air on Sunday, with the Rams allowing almost 300 rushing yards on the afternoon. That said, Wilson kept an overmatched Seattle team in the game for all 60 minutes, finally bowing out in the end. Wilson might not get Seattle into the playoffs, but that won’t be because he isn’t having a fine season.

6. Philip Rivers (LW: 5)

Rivers is quietly having an incredible season. The Chargers are 7-2, and Rivers has 21 passing touchdowns with only four interceptions, going with 9.04 yards per attempt. He should absolutely be in the MVP conversation, especially if Los Angeles challenges Kansas City in the AFC West.

5. Jared Goff (LW: 8)

Goff hsa to keep moving up the board here. The Rams are tied with the Chiefs for the league’s best record at 9-1, and Goff has shown incredible talent, netting 9.44 YPA to accompany 3,134 yards, second only to Patrick Mahomes.
