Joe Theismann Division

12. Tom Brady (LW: 12)

Brady has been struggling this year. He’s only this high because the supporting cast is awful, and his history merits it. Still, throwing for 6.5 yards per attempt with 21 touchdowns and a 60 percent completion rate? Not ideal.

11. Ryan Tannehill (LW: 10)

Tannehill has been a monster since the Titans inserted him into the starting lineup. Even in a loss to the Texans, the former first-round pick played well. If Tennessee gets into the playoffs, it’ll be a team nobody wants to face.

10. Jimmy Garoppolo (LW: 9)

Garoppolo was average against the Falcons, but don’t read too much into it. The entire 49ers team looked asleep against Atlanta after beating the Saints seven days earlier. This weekend is much more important, with a must-win on deck for the first seed against the Rams.

9. Dak Prescott (LW: 11)

Prescott has been good all year, and coin toss aside, he was great against the Rams. The Cowboys won 44-21 and Prescott moved the ball at will, finding Jason Witten and Tavon Austin for first-half scoring strikes.
