Pittsburgh Steelers. Ben Roethlisberger. player. 55. Pick Analysis. 13. Scouting Report. QB

2020 stats: 771 yards | 67.0 completion % | 7 TDs | 1 INTs | 7.1 YPA | 50.8 QBR

Last Week: 12

Roethlisberger missed 14 games last year, and he still looks rusty. The stats are alright, but the ball doesn’t have zip. Let’s hope that’s rust and not because he had elbow surgery and is now 38 years old. Roethlisberger hasn’t been bad, but average.

32. Scouting Report. QB. Arizona Cardinals. 12. player. Pick Analysis. Kyler Murray

2020 stats: 786 yards | 66.4 completion % | 4 TDs | 5 INTs | 7.0 YPA | 75.3 QBR

Last Week: 8

Bad game for Murray this week. He did a nice job of hitting on downfield throws and attacking the perimeter as well as between the numbers, but three interceptions will undo the good. Murray looks like a star in the making, but the consistency isn’t quite there.

Scouting Report. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tom Brady. 11. player. 48. Pick Analysis. QB

2020 stats: 753 yards | 65.1 completion % | 6 TDs | 3 INTs | 6.9 YPA | 45.3 QBR

Last Week: 10

Brady had a terrific week against the Broncos n a runaway victory. Many short throws, but Brady also found success on eight targets more than 15 yards, hitting on four of them. he also avoided interceptions and tossed three touchdowns. A quality outing for the GOAT.

QB. Ryan Tannehill. player. Pick Analysis. Tennessee Titans. 10. 35. Scouting Report

2020 stats: 809 yards | 67.3 completion % | 6 TDs | 1 INTs | 7.8 YPA | 74.9 QBR

Last Week: 15

Tannehill needs conditions around him to be right, which is why you can’t categorize him as elite. Still, he’s played well for the Titans, moving the ball well despite A.J. Brown’s recent absence. He’s also taking deep shots, something many believed he couldn’t do leaving Miami.

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. QB. 9. player. 10. Houston Texans. Deshaun Watson

2020 stats: 792 yards | 67.4 completion % | 4 TDs | 3 INTs | 8.3 YPA | 64.9 QBR

Last Week: 9

You almost feel bad for Watson. He no longer has a legitimate No. 1 target, the play-calling is suspect and the offensive line is poor. He needs to throw the ball quicker, but Watson is a magician at keeping plays alive, throwing receivers open and making the tight-window pass. Yet, Houston is 0-3.

QB. Matt Ryan. 44. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Atlanta Falcons. 8. player

2020 stats: 961 yards | 62.5 completion % | 7 TDs | 2 INTs | 7.5 YPA | 65.8 QBR

Last Week: 5

Ryan falls three spots, and mostly because of his atrocious fourth quarter. Yes, the Falcons blew that lead as a collective, but Ryan needs to make a play or two to help a moribund defense. The numbers are largely good, but the film shows too many peaks and valleys.
