Aaron Brooks Division

25. Lamar Jackson (LW: 27)

Jackson has electrified Baltimore, winning his first three NFL starts. However, most of the damage he’s done has been on the ground, a tough trend to continue. If the Ravens are going to challenge in the AFC playoff race, he’ll need to start averaging more than 150 yards per game through the air.

24. Derek Carr (LW: 24)

Carr almost threw for 300 yards on Sunday against the Chiefs, and managed three touchdown without an interception. It was his best game in quite some time, despite coming in a 40-33 defeat. If Oakland sees that version of Carr more often, there is one less problem to fix this offseason.

23. Case Keenum (LW: 20)

Keenum has been the definition of average this year in Denver. Over the weekend, the Broncos racked up 24 points largely because of Phillip Lindsay, while Keenum only scraped up 151 yards and a touchdown against Cincinnati’s last-ranked defense.

22. Ryan Tannehill (LW: 21)

The Dolphins’ play-calling shows they have little faith in Tannehill, but he was able to piece a win together over Buffalo. At 6-6, Miami might need to run the table, something that is only possible with Tannehill having the best stretch of his career.

21. Eli Manning (LW: 22)

Manning was 19-of-35 for 170 yards with a touchdown and interception in the Giants’ 30-27 overtime win over Chicago. All told, New York has to be looking for the next quarterback to lead them forward, but Manning is doing enough to keep the team respectable.
