20. Case Keenum (LW: 24)

Keenum delivered on Sunday, beating the Charges 24-22 with a last-minute drive to keep any Denver hopes for a playoff spot alive. The Broncos need more of these types of efforts from Keenum, who has been underwhelming thus far through 10 games.

19. Andy Dalton (LW: 18)

Dalton is what he is at this point. Don’t overreact when he has a hot stretch, and don’t overreact when he looks completely overmatched against the Ravens. Ultimately, he’s going to make some nice plays and win some games, and then turn around and throw three interceptions in a hideous loss. It’s the full Dalton experience.

18. Mitchell Trubisky (LW: 20)

The Bears pulled off perhaps their biggest win in seven years on Sunday night, beating the Vikings 25-20. However, Trubisky was nothing more than a passenger for most of the time, and worse than that in a few spots. If Chicago is going to go deep into the postseason, he has to throw for more than 165 yards with two interceptions.

17. Baker Mayfield (LW: 19)

Mayfield has been the most impressive rookie quarterback to this point by a wide margin. After smoking Atlanta a week ago, Mayfield is now rested and coming off his bye week to take on the Bengals, the worst defense in the NFL. Look for the Browns to keep that one close, largely due to their rookie’s right arm.
