Quincy Milton ranks all 32 starting NFL quarterbacks for Week 14 of the 2024 season. From Josh Allen to Drew Lock, see where your favorite quarterback falls.
Every quarterback in the NFL graced the field in Week 13. We were treated to high-end play on Thanksgiving and the festivities continued into the weekend. Only a handful of players had a bust week in fantasy.
With six teams headed into a bye week again, we will be without stars such as C.J. Stroud, Jayden Daniels, and mainstay MVP candidate Lamar Jackson. There is room for plenty of movement throughout this list depending on how everyone can perform.
As we head into the final month of the season, several young players are ascending while older players such as Aaron Rodgers continue to slide. Let's check out where everyone stands heading into Week 14.

1. Josh Allen - Buffalo Bills
Allen propelled the Bills to a dominant win over the 49ers in an intense snowstorm. Allen threw, caught, and ran for a touchdown. His most impressive feat was recording a completion to Amari Cooper that was lateraled to Allen and resulted in a touchdown. There seems to be no stopping this team right now.
Oh look at me I’m Josh Allen. I have a rocket arm. I run over the best athletes in the world. I make insane plays every week. I’m marrying Hailee Steinfeld. I’m the king of my city.

2. Lamar Jackson - Baltimore Ravens
Jackson played an excellent game in Week 13 against the Eagles. Unfortunately, the NFL counts wins and losses, and the Ravens dropped another critical game. As such, Jackson has fallen to a measly second place on this list as a result. Still, Jackson continues to play at an MVP level and he has the Ravens right in the thick of things.
3. Joe Burrow - Cincinnati Bengals
Burrow continues to remain in the top five on this list because he simply is doing everything he can to carry the Bengals. There is no reason Burrow should be leading the offense to 38 points and lose the game. Burrow is clearly on a mission, and it is impressive that he has continued to play at such a high level in the face of serious adversity. The season is essentially lost, but there is a path back to relevance next season with this guy at the helm.
4. Jared Goff - Detroit Lions
Goff was ho-hum in Week 13. He threw for 221 yards and two touchdowns in a relatively efficient Thanksgiving win over the Bears. The Lions are now 11-1 for the first time in franchise history.
5. Patrick Mahomes - Kansas City Chiefs
Mahomes and the Chiefs escaped by the skin of their teeth yet again. Mahomes was under duress all day and ended up taking five sacks. Still, he managed to throw for 306 yards and a touchdown. The Chiefs had a serious issue finishing drives in the red zone. If Mahomes and Co. do not get their act together in that department, then it will be very difficult to win in the playoffs.
6. Jalen Hurts - Philadelphia Eagles
Hurts did not play excellently in Week 13, but his game was good enough to propel the Eagles to their eighth straight win. This team is gritty and is not afraid to hit you. The rest of the league better be on watch.
7. Tua Tagovailoa - Miami Dolphins
Tagovailoa’s 365 yards and two touchdowns on Thanksgiving would lead you to believe the Dolphins had a dominant victory. Unfortunately, it was the opposite. The Dolphins fell 30-17 against the Packers and saw their playoff hopes dwindle as a result.
8. Jordan Love - Green Bay Packers
Love was surgical in Week 13 against the Dolphins. He threw for 274 yards and two touchdowns in a huge win. The Packers seem to have found their identity behind the play of Love and running back Josh Jacobs.
9. Jayden Daniels - Washington Commanders
Four total touchdowns signal that Daniels is back. The rookie continues to be meticulously accurate and he protects the ball for the most part. The Commanders got back in the winning column against the Titans on Sunday. The arrow is continuing to point up for this kid as a result of the Commanders' turnaround this season.
10. Russell Wilson - Pittsburgh Steelers
Wilson threw for 414 yards in Week 13 as he diced up the Bengals. The Bengals defense stood no chance against the Steelers and their playmakers. The offense has found an impressive groove with Wilson at the helm. They are still able to sprinkle in Justin Fields here and there as well. The Steelers are a legitimate contender at this point.

11. Sam Darnold - Minnesota Vikings
Darnold continued to be ho-hum in Week 13. He threw for 235 yards and two touchdowns as he led the Vikings to victory. Darnold’s continued solid play is keeping the Vikings highly relevant in the NFC. Darnold has found a way to protect the ball over the last three weeks. The Vikings have played three straight solid defenses and Darnold has not thrown an interception in any of those matchups.
12. Justin Herbert - Los Angeles Chargers
Herbert failed to throw a touchdown for a second straight game. The Chargers won a defensive slugfest against the Falcons as a result. Herbert should fall back into form as the Chargers enter the stretch run, but teams seem to have the Chargers figured out offensively, at least over the last couple of weeks.
13. Brock Purdy - San Francisco 49ers
Purdy did not stand much of a chance in a blizzard in Buffalo on Sunday night. To make matters worse, he lost Christian McCaffrey to injury, again. Purdy and the Niners are watching this season slip away before their very eyes. The jig could be up with this core as injuries and age continue to plague this team.
14. Baker Mayfield - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Mayfield was off his game yet again in Week 13. He threw two interceptions against a middling Panthers defense. Still, his efforts were enough to earn the Buccaneers a win and stay in lockstep with the Falcons for the NFC South division title.
15. Matthew Stafford - Los Angeles Rams
Stafford was held under 200 yards passing in Week 13 but he threw two touchdowns en route to a win over the Saints. The Rams continue to find ways to win and are very much in contention to win the NFC West.
16. C.J. Stroud - Houston Texans
Stroud turned things around, at least temporarily, in Week 13. He only threw one touchdown pass but overall threw for 242 yards. Even so, the Texans had trouble moving the ball against a porous Jaguars defense. They only managed to score 23 points. They will need to squeeze a little more production out of Stroud to truly compete in the AFC.
17. Geno Smith - Seattle Seahawks
Smith was solid in Week 13. After special teams dug the Seahawks into an early hole, Smith was excellent throughout the game as the Seahawks slowly crawled back in and won. Smith still made a couple of mistakes that almost led to sacks or turnovers. He notably held onto the ball too long repeatedly. Still, the Seahawks are the outright leaders of the NFC West with five games to go.
18. Bo Nix - Denver Broncos
Nix struggled on Monday night as the Browns played scrappy defense against an ascending Broncos offense. Still, the Broncos' excellent defense bailed them out and helped deliver a win. Nix had been playing very well before this week, so this can be written off as a bad game.

19. Kyler Murray - Arizona Cardinals
Murray continues to be marred by inconsistency. He has now played two bad games in a row. On Sunday, he threw two inexplicable interceptions against the Vikings that essentially cost the Cardinals the game. The Cardinals are going to watch this season slip away if their signal-caller cannot get his act together. It is surprising how poorly Murray has played since he came out of his Week 11 bye.
20. Caleb Williams - Chicago Bears
Williams suffered from another slow start but finished strong on Thanksgiving. He nearly brought the Bears back to beat the Lions, but a last-minute time management gaffe displayed that Williams was not on the same page as the rest of the offense. Williams will now contend with interim offensive coordinator Thomas Brown taking over as the interim head coach for Matt Eberflus, who was fired on Black Friday.
21. Kirk Cousins - Atlanta Falcons
Cousins threw four interceptions in Week 13. Unless you are the Lions, it is very difficult to throw that many picks and expect to win a game. Cousins can now be held responsible for a few of the Falcons' losses this season. He needs to be better.
22. Derek Carr - New Orleans Saints
Carr and the Saints nearly knocked off the Rams in Week 13. However, two touchdown passes from Carr were not enough. This team had a chance to stay in its divisional race, but now it looks like it is headed toward a top-10 draft pick rather than the playoffs.
23. Cooper Rush - Dallas Cowboys
Rush and the Cowboys rode the defense to victory in Week 13. Rush only needed to throw for 195 yards and a touchdown for the Cowboys to cruise to a 27-20 win over the New York Giants. Don’t look now but this team is only two games out of the playoff hunt.
24. Drake Maye - New England Patriots
Maye threw another interception in Week 13, but he was otherwise highly efficient. The Patriots were ultimately unable to win the game, but they continue to have several positive takeaways from each week. The future is bright for Maye if he can continue to overcome the lack of weapons and poor offensive line.
25. Bryce Young - Carolina Panthers
Let's keep beating the drum for Young, who has played lights out over the last month. He is protecting the ball and he has delivered big yardage output over the last two weeks. He is starting to look like a No. 1 overall pick and the smile on his face indicates that he is enjoying football once again.

26. Anthony Richardson - Indianapolis Colts
Richardson’s NFL experience continues to be up and down. However, he has demonstrated an excellent ability to make big plays at the right time. Richardson’s completion percentage continues to be at or below 50% in most weeks, but he could use serious help from his pass-catchers, who keep dropping the ball.
Of course, Richardson needs to stop throwing interceptions. He threw another two on Sunday. Even so, the Colts are riding the highs and lows as they make a final playoff push.

27. Jameis Winston - Cleveland Browns
The Winston experience continued with huge passing output to go along with three interceptions in Week 13. Winston's two pick-sixes likely cost Cleveland the game. This offense will live and die by Winston moving forward. At least it can score points with him at the helm.
28. Will Levis - Tennessee Titans
Levis was not the most accurate quarterback in Week 13, but he has improved greatly over the last several weeks. He is no longer turning the ball over at an incredible rate and he has cut out several knucklehead plays. Levis has at least played his way into the conversation of receiving another shot at becoming the team's franchise quarterback.
29. Aidan O'Connell - Las Vegas Raiders
Going toe to toe with the league’s best quarterback is a sure way to rise on this list. O’Connell threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns. He and Brock Bowers formed a dynamic duo on Black Friday. O’Connell is essentially playing for his future at this point in the season. If he can continue to play like he did on Friday, he will give the Raiders a tough decision to make this offseason.
30. Aaron Rodgers - New York Jets
Swirling talks of Rodgers’ future, and frankly his present, with the Jets has marred the last couple weeks of the season. Sunday did nothing to assuage all of that talk. Rodgers started hot with two first-quarter touchdown passes against the Seahawks in Week 13. However, he finished 21-of-39 and was limited to 185 passing yards. His pick-six in the second quarter completely changed the complexity of the game.
31. Mac Jones - Jacksonville Jaguars
Jones appears to be back as the Jaguars starting quarterback. An extremely dirty hit knocked Trevor Lawrence back out of the lineup in Week 13 just as he was returning from a shoulder injury. Jones was pretty good in relief of Lawrence. He led two late touchdown drives that gave the Jaguars a chance to win the game. Still, we have seen enough of Jones to know that this could wind up being a rough experience.
32. Drew Lock - New York Giants
Lock took over as the starting quarterback in Week 13 with Tommy DeVito battling an injury. Lock was reportedly disappointed to be passed over as the starter after the release of Daniel Jones. However, he did not do much with his chances on Thursday.
