NFL quarterback rankings, Week 7: Ryan Tannehill is rolling
Pick Analysis. Baker Mayfield. 24. 53. Cleveland Browns. player. Scouting Report. QB
2020 stats: 1,095 yards | 60.6 completion % | 10 TDs | 6 INTs | 6.4 YPA | 67.9 QBR
Last Week: 23
When the Browns are running well, Mayfield is fine. The second he needs to stand in against the rush and complete a pass on an obvious throwing down, it’s over. Pittsburgh harassed him all day, forcing two interceptions including a game-altering pick-six. He’s been brutal this year.
Pick Analysis. Joe Burrow. player. 56. Scouting Report. QB. Cincinnati Bengals. 23
2020 stats: 1,617 yards | 65.0 completion % | 6 TDs | 4 INTs | 6.6 YPA | 50.1 QBR
Last Week: 21
Burrow was excellent in Indianapolis on Sunday, carving up one of league’s best defenses for 27 points. When given time, Burrow also tried to stretch the field with nine completions being good for 10+ air yards.
46. QB. Indianapolis Colts. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Philip Rivers. 22
2020 stats: 1,598 yards | 69.7 completion % | 7 TDs | 6 INTs | 8.1 YPA | 64.1 QBR
Last Week: 25
Rivers has been much-maligned recently and rightfully so, but he stepped up with the Colts down 21-0 against Cincinnati. The veteran threw for 371 yards and a trio of touchdowns, all of which were 12+ air yards. It was a nice bounceback from his wretched game in Cleveland.
52. Pick Analysis. QB. player. Scouting Report. Jacksonville Jaguars. Gardner Minshew. 21
2020 stats: 1,682 yards | 67.5 completion % | 11 TDs | 5 INTs | 7.0 YPA | 58.8 QBR
Last Week: 20
Minshew is doing a solid job, but he has little chance to succeed. He’s constantly trailing and the Jaguars aren’t exactly the Greatest Show on Turf. Does Minshew project as a star? No, but he’s a decent starter with upside.
Pick Analysis. 47. QB. New England Patriots. Cam Newton. 20. player. Scouting Report
2020 stats: 871 yards | 68.1 completion % | 2 TDs | 4 INTs | 7.5 YPA | 49.1 QBR
Last Week: 16
Newton ran for 76 yards and a score on Sunday in an 18-12 loss to the Broncos. Unfortunately, the passing game had no juice with 157 yards and two interceptions. Newton’s stats have been subpar, and downright ugly if you set aside one sterling performance in Seattle.
Miami Dolphins. Ryan Fitzpatrick. 19. player. 59. Pick Analysis. QB. Scouting Report
2020 stats: 1,535 yards | 70.1 completion % | 10 TDs | 7 INTs | 7.8 YPA | 80.0 QBR
Last Week: 22
Fitz! The Dolphins are 3-3 and in the playoff chase after a pair of wins. Fitzpatrick has been his typical high-variance self, one week launching a litany of touchdowns in tight windows and then coming back with a pair of ill-advised interceptions. It’s the FitzMagic way.
