2024 NFL QB Power Rankings: All 32 Starting Quarterbacks for Week 12

Quincy Milton ranks all 32 starting NFL quarterbacks for Week 12 of the 2024 season. From Lamar Jackson to Tommy DeVito, see where your favorite quarterback falls.

The most important position in football had some serious boom games in Week 11. Jared Goff and Josh Allen highlighted the signal-callers who performed well for their teams. However, overall, most quarterbacks in the league were relatively average or worse in Week 11.

Our beloved presumptive MVP, Lamar Jackson, had a certifiably bad game. With him finally looking human for once in 2024, his spot as the No. 1 quarterback on this list could be in jeopardy.

With the potential for a lot of movement this week, it is time to see where everyone stands. Some players played well in a loss, whereas others played poorly in a win. Let's see where everyone stacks up heading into Week 12.

1. Lamar Jackson - Baltimore Ravens

So Jackson is not an alien after all? Or perhaps even aliens have bad days at the office. Jackson and the Ravens fell to the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers in a huge matchup on Sunday. Jackson didn't even complete 50% of his passes and he threw an interception. His MVP chances may be challenged by another couple of players on this list.

2. Josh Allen - Buffalo Bills

Josh Allen is an absolute animal. He single-handedly willed his team to victory in Week 11 against the Chiefs. His fourth-down run for a touchdown to ice the game could go down as the play of the year, just as it was called on the live broadcast. The Bills look scary.

3. Joe Burrow - Cincinnati Bengals

Burrow continued his reign of terror in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers. It still came in another losing effort. Burrow has now thrown 12 touchdown passes over the last three weeks. The Bengals have only won one of those games. This season may be lost for 4-7 Cincinnati even with Burrow playing his mind out.

4. Jared Goff - Detroit Lions

Throw five interceptions one week and throw four touchdowns the next. Goff was magical in a 52-6 win over the Jaguars. His QBR of 93.9 was nearly perfect. When Goff is on in 2024, he is on. The Lions look unstoppable in the NFC and seem to be on a crash course to February.

5. Patrick Mahomes - Kansas City Chiefs

Mahomes was not at his best in Week 11. He threw two bad interceptions, one of which came as the Chiefs were attempting to come back against the Bills. The Chiefs put tape on display that shows them as vulnerable. Still, the Bills notoriously have their number during the regular season, and it is always going to be tough to count this team out when it matters.

6. Jalen Hurts - Philadelphia Eagles

Hurts was nothing special in Week 11. He finished with a 45.4 QBR as the Eagles rode Saquon Barkley to victory. Still, this team is now in a great position to reclaim the NFC East title with a two-game lead on the Washington Commanders.

7. Justin Herbert - Los Angeles Chargers

Herbert had a bit of a down week in Week 11 against the Bengals. He lost a fumble and completed less than 50% of his passes. However, the Chargers were able to pull out a victory and continue to score points at a high rate. These guys can compete in the AFC as long as Herbert is healthy.

8. Brock Purdy - San Francisco 49ers

Purdy stumbled in Week 11 against the Seahawks. He threw for just 159 yards and one touchdown. He added an interception. In the end, he was not able to guide the 49ers to enough points over a Seahawks defense that had been struggling before this week.

9. Jayden Daniels - Washington Commanders

The rookie Daniels has hit a rookie wall at this point in the season. He now has two bad games in a row. In Week 11, he only threw for 191 yards, one touchdown, and an interception. His QBR of 22.7 was abysmal. Most importantly, he has not been using his legs since he injured his ribs.

10. Kyler Murray - Arizona Cardinals

Murray enjoyed a bye week in Week 11. The Cardinals still find themselves atop the NFC West as the Seahawks were able to beat the 49ers. The Cardinals will face a huge test this week as they will battle the Seahawks in Week 12. This game is essentially for control of the No. 1 seed in the division.

11. Tua Tagovailoa - Miami Dolphins

Tagovailoa was stellar in Week 11. He threw for 288 yards and three touchdowns. He spread the ball around all day and the Dolphins put up 34 points. This team is starting to roll and has a real chance at the playoffs.

🎥 Jonnu Smith on Tua Tagovailoa: “[Tua] is who he is for a reason. He deserves all the credit in the world… we got the best QB on the planet. Excited to be in this system with him.” (@PatMcAfeeShow) #GoFins pic.twitter.com/DgqneIIOq6

12. Russell Wilson - Pittsburgh Steelers

Wilson was not at his best in a win over the Ravens on Sunday. He threw for 205 yards and a bad interception in the end zone. Even so, he made a couple of solid plays when it mattered most, and the Steelers are in pole position in the AFC North.

13. C.J. Stroud - Houston Texans

Stroud was simply not needed in a rout of the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. The Texans rode running back Joe Mixon to victory. Stroud threw for 257 yards and an interception. This is not necessarily the sophomore season that most were expecting out of Stroud, but the Texans are 7-4 and look poised to capture another division title.

14. Sam Darnold - Minnesota Vikings

Darnold was right back in the mix on Sunday, throwing for 246 yards and two touchdowns. The Vikings continue to win and keep pace with the Lions for the division lead. Darnold just needs to play mistake-free football and this team will compete all year.

15. Jordan Love - Green Bay Packers

Love looked much better than he has in recent weeks in a solid Week 11 win over the Bears. He was highly efficient as he hit on several huge plays to wide receiver Christian Watson. He threw a touchdown and added one with his legs. The Packers are looking strong at this point in the season.

16. Baker Mayfield - Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Mayfield and the Buccaneers were on a bye in Week 11. Before the bye, Mayfield was having trouble keeping things afloat with a limited receiving corps. With top target Mike Evans due back in Week 12, the Buccaneers have a great chance to make a push for the NFC South division title.

17. Matthew Stafford - Los Angeles Rams

Stafford put on a vintage performance in Week 11. He carved up the Patriots to the tune of 295 yards and four touchdown passes. The Rams suddenly find themselves within striking distance of first place in the NFC West, primarily behind the play of Stafford.

18. Bo Nix - Denver Broncos

Nix is absolutely on the rise at this point in the season. The Broncos seem like legitimate threats to make the playoffs. The mistakes that plagued Nix early in the season appear to have gone away. Watch out for this kid moving forward.

19. Geno Smith - Seattle Seahawks

One week Smith disappoints you, and the next he scampers for a game-winning touchdown. Smith and the Seahawks turned things on in the fourth quarter in Week 11 to capture a huge win over the 49ers. They will try to take that momentum into a Week 12 clash with the Cardinals.

20. Kirk Cousins - Atlanta Falcons

It has been difficult to figure out Cousins and the Falcons offense in 2024. Cousins and the offense were so bad in Week 11 against the Denver Broncos that we got another Michael Penix Jr. sighting in garbage time. Cousins is unlikely to be on the hot seat, but his 35.0 QBR in Week 11 is not going to get things done. Luckily, he plays in a bad division.

21. Drake Maye - New England Patriots

Maye continues to look like a budding star in the NFL. He logged a QBR of 73.8 against the Rams in Week 11. He nearly had the Patriots in position to mount a game-winning drive. This is a player that the league will need to be on watch for in the coming years.

22. Derek Carr - New Orleans Saints

Just like last week, no weapons, no problem for Carr. The Saints managed to win another game with very good offensive output. Carr threw for 248 yards and two touchdowns. The Browns were no match for the Saints in this one, and suddenly there is hope in New Orleans since they fired head coach Dennis Allen.

23. Caleb Williams - Chicago Bears

Williams looked worthy of the No. 1 pick on Sunday. He boasted a QBR of 83.4 and played turnover-free football. He led a potential game-winning drive at the end of the game, but the Bears missed the field goal. There are a lot of good things for Williams to take away from this game.

Could you imagine the National perception of Caleb Williams after leading come from behind drives to beat Washington/Green Bay?

24. Jameis Winston - Cleveland Browns

Winston threw for 395 yards and two touchdowns in Week 11. He carved up the Saints defense. Alas, it was all for naught as the Saints would blow out the Browns, 35-14. At least the Browns can move the ball with Winston behind center, even if that does not always translate to points.

25. Anthony Richardson - Indianapolis Colts

Richardson was back in the driver's seat with a vengeance. He showed the Colts that they never should have turned away from him as the starter. He completed 66% of his passes and finished the game against the Jets with a 75.4 QBR. He also scored a beastly rushing touchdown at the goal line and led a game-winning touchdown drive.

26. Aaron Rodgers - New York Jets

Rodgers seems to have lost his will in 2024. This Jets team has been so bad this season and Rodgers has been at the forefront of it. The offense is pretty inept and the magic that Rodgers used to have just is not there anymore.

27. Mac Jones - Jacksonville Jaguars

Jones is bad. That is putting things nicely. He seems to be incapable of moving this Jaguars offense down the field with any kind of efficiency. He threw for 138 yards and an interception as the Jaguars would lose to the Lions by a score of 52-6.

28. Cooper Rush - Dallas Cowboys

Rush followed up his 45-yard performance in Week 10 with a 354-yard performance in Week 11 against the Texans. The Cowboys still lost the game, but Rush looked more like the Rush we have seen fill in for Dak Prescott in the past. He may climb higher on this list if he continues to deliver these types of performances.

29. Bryce Young - Carolina Panthers

Young was on a bye in Week 11 and has already been announced as the starter in Week 12 against the Kansas City Chiefs. If he can do anything against this excellent defense this week, he may start to recoup some of his value.

30. Will Levis - Tennessee Titans

Levis had an ok outing in Week 11. He was not wildly efficient (17-of-31 on completions) and he did take five sacks, but he only turned the ball over once. The Titans will take anything they can get out of Levis at this point.

31. Gardner Minshew II - Las Vegas Raiders

Minshew was solid on Sunday. He threw for 282 yards and two touchdowns. He added an interception, but he was much better in this game than he has been all season. Still, it was another losing effort.

32. Tommy Devito - New York Giants

DeVito has been named the starter in New York and Drew Lock will be the backup. The Daniel Jones era in New York appears to be officially over. DeVito saw some playing time in 2023 and was nothing special, but he did not turn the ball over much.

Cooper Rush versus Tommy DeVito on Thanksgiving Day.

What a scene. https://t.co/RTDjlYkLOf
