12. Jacoby Brissett (LW: 20)

Brissett isn’t Andrew Luck, but he’s pretty damn good. Indianapolis is 2-1, and while Brissett mostly managed the game over the first two weeks, he dominated the Falcons on Sunday with 310 yards and two touchdowns. On the year, seven scoring strikes.

11. Matthew Stafford (LW: 13)

Stafford is ninth in yardage (831) and has six touchdowns against two interceptions. The Lions aren’t asking him to do as much, and the veteran has responded by mastering the little stuff, making the occasional big throw and doing his part in a 2-0-1 start.

10. Lamar Jackson (LW: 9)

Jackson was human on Sunday for the first time this season. After an MVP-like first two weeks, Jackson struggled in Kansas City, hitting on 22-of-43 for 267 yards. Even some of those numbers are deceiving, benefitting from a pair of Hail Mary heaves. Still, he’s been excellent and is yet to turn the ball over.

9. Jared Goff (LW: 10)

Goff has been very average this season, and could begin falling soon if he doesn’t get rolling. In three gams, the former No. 1 overall pick has four touchdowns and three interceptions. He’s also playing every situation safe, averaging a paltry 7.0 yards per attempt.
