2024 NFL QB Power Rankings: All 32 Starting Quarterbacks for Week 7

October 16, 2024

Quincy Milton ranks all 32 starting NFL quarterbacks for Week 7 of the 2024 season. From Lamar Jackson to Deshaun Watson, see where your favorite quarterback falls.

Jared Goff, Lamar Jackson, and Brock Purdy led the way for prolific quarterback outings in Week 6. Offense is so very back with these top-notch quarterbacks performing at such a high level again.

The rookie class was also intriguing this past week. Jayden Daniels and Caleb Williams were awesome for their respective teams while Drake Maye and Spencer Rattler made their first starts in the NFL.

Some quarterbacks rose and some fell yet again in Week 6. However, the cream of the crop is starting to define itself as we head into the meat of the NFL season. Without further ado, let's take a look at where things stand for the most important position in football after six weeks.

1. Lamar Jackson - Baltimore Ravens

Jackson and the Ravens got a win against the red-hot Commanders in Week 6. Jackson threw for 323 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He continues to follow up his MVP campaign with prolific numbers.

Lamar Jackson is currently on pace for:

4,332 passing yards
28 passing TDs
1,141 rushing yards
5 rushing TDs

All for a total of 5,473 yards & 33 TDs🔥

I’m so serious when I say Lamar needs to be in discussion as one of the greatest QBs of all time.

2. Joe Burrow - Cincinnati Bengals

Burrow and the Bengals won a hard-fought game against the Giants in Week 6. Burrow did not do much through the air but he showed off his speed with a 47-yard touchdown run in the game.

3. Patrick Mahomes - Kansas City Chiefs

Mahomes and the Chiefs had an early bye that will hopefully help them get back on track offensively. Mahomes had one of his more productive games of the season before the bye, so he may carry that momentum into Week 7.

4. C.J. Stroud - Houston Texans

Stroud did not have to do much in a game that was dominated by the running game. However, he still threw for three touchdowns despite only throwing for 192 yards. He will have a bigger test in Week 7 against the Packers.

5. Josh Allen - Buffalo Bills

Allen had a nice game in Week 6 with two touchdowns through the air and one on the ground. The Bills continue to find ways to win with gritty offense and scrappy defense.

6. Brock Purdy - San Francisco 49ers

Purdy was virtually flawless in Week 6. He posted a QBR of 90.6 and threw for three touchdowns and no interceptions. This may have been a “get-right” game for the 49ers.

7. Jared Goff - Detroit Lions

Goff has found his midseason form just in time for, well, the middle of the season. He threw for 315 yards and three touchdowns in a rout of the Cowboys in Week 6. The Lions are starting to look just as unstoppable as their NFC North counterparts in Minnesota.

8. Jayden Daniels - Washington Commanders

Daniels continues his strong rookie season. He led the Commanders in rushing in Week 6 and threw for 269 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. Although the Commanders lost, Daniels continued to give them great chances to win.

9. Baker Mayfield - Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Mayfield had an odd game against the Saints in Week 6. He threw for 325 yards and four touchdowns, but he also threw three interceptions in a 51-27 win. Still, Mayfield continues to put up huge numbers for the Buccaneers this season.

10. Jalen Hurts - Philadelphia Eagles

Hurts had one of his more productive games of the season in Week 6. The Browns defense stifled the Eagles running game and the Eagles had to rely on Hurts’ arm. He delivered with 264 yards and two touchdowns. With A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith back in the lineup, the arrow is pointing up for Hurts.

11. Dak Prescott - Dallas Cowboys

Prescott was exposed by the Lions defense in Week 6. It limited him to 178 passing yards and two interceptions. This game got so out of hand that a Cooper Rush sighting happened in the fourth quarter.

12. Jordan Love - Green Bay Packers

Love was a surgeon in Week 6 en route to 258 passing yards and four touchdowns. If he continues to play like this, then the Packers will not be stopped.

13. Sam Darnold - Minnesota Vikings

Darnold and the Vikings had a bye in Week 6 but he had been playing excellent football before the week off. The Vikings look like a legitimate contender in 2024.

14. Kirk Cousins - Atlanta Falcons

Cousins had another nice game in Week 6 and continues to spread the ball around. The Falcons are starting to roll and even saw their running game take off against the Panthers.

15. Geno Smith - Seattle Seahawks

Smith threw an interception early in the Seahawks’ loss to the 49ers and never really recovered. He has not been able to break through in throwing more than one touchdown in a game. Even so, he leads the league in passing yards.

16. Kyler Murray - Arizona Cardinals

Murray and the Cardinals got thumped in Week 6 by the Packers. This team has not found any consistency despite having a couple of solid wins this season. Murray was ok in this one, but the Cardinals need to start exploiting his running ability.

17. Justin Herbert - Los Angeles Chargers

Herbert had great luck throwing against a tough Broncos defense in Week 6. He had his first game with over 200 passing yards and the Chargers were able to get a much-needed divisional win.

18. Matthew Stafford - Los Angeles Rams

Stafford and the Rams enjoyed a much-needed bye in Week 6. He may get wide receiver Cooper Kupp back from injury in Week 7, which would certainly boost his stock. The Rams have suffered without Kupp or Puka Nacua on the field.

19. Caleb Williams - Chicago Bears

Williams certainly looked worthy of the No. 1 overall pick on Sunday. He racked up 226 passing yards, 56 rushing yards, and four passing touchdowns. He has looked great the last two weeks.

20. Aaron Rodgers - New York Jets

Rodgers was pretty good in Week 6, but he was not quite good enough to lead the Jets to victory. With Davante Adams heading to town, perhaps Rodgers can start to turn things around.

21. Justin Fields - Pittsburgh Steelers

Fields continues to do Fields things. He ran for two more touchdowns on Sunday to bring his 2024 total up to five. The Steelers continue to sit in a good spot in the AFC due to Fields’ execution of the offense. However, Russell Wilson somehow has a chance to start this week.

22. Daniel Jones - New York Giants

Jones had built some momentum in recent weeks but had a tough outing in Week 6. He barely completed 50% of his passes as he continues to play without standout wide receiver Malik Nabers due to his concussion. Nabers is a huge boost for Jones.

23. Trevor Lawrence - Jacksonville Jaguars

Lawrence was ok in the Jaguars’ loss to the Bears in Week 6 despite the final score of 35-16. Lawrence posted a QBR of 66.8 in Week 6 and had a solid completion percentage of 65.7. Unfortunately, the Jaguars continue to flutter.

24. Andy Dalton - Carolina Panthers

Dalton continues to pumpkin in an offense that does not have a lot going for it. He threw another two interceptions as the Panthers lost by 18 and fell to 1-5. It's almost as if Bryce Young was not the whole problem for this team.

25. Anthony Richardson - Indianapolis Colts

Richardson was surprisingly inactive in Week 6. He continues to be outplayed as a passer by backup Joe Flacco. He is expected to play in Week 7 and hopefully, he can get back on track.

26. Bo Nix - Denver Broncos

Nix has found some level of footing in the NFL. He threw for 216 yards and two touchdowns in Week 6. He threw another interception, but at least his yardage output continues to improve.

27. Tyler Huntley - Miami Dolphins

Huntley was able to lead the Dolphins to a victory before their Week 6 bye. With Tua Tagovailoa hopeful to return later in the season, hopefully, Huntley can keep things afloat for the Dolphins.

28. Aidan O'Connell - Las Vegas Raiders

O’Connell threw for 227 yards and a touchdown in Week 6. He also threw an interception. He was not much better than former starter Gardner Minshew II.

29. Drake Maye - New England Patriots

Maye was under attack by a solid Texans defensive front early in Week 6; however, he settled in nicely throughout the game. He threw two interceptions, but he remained poised and made some nice throws throughout the day. He managed to throw three touchdown passes.

#Patriots WR Demario Douglas in the Drake Maye led huddle following his first NFL touchdown:

“Ooo I like this Drake! Ooo he’s got confidence! Uh-oh.” 👀

Something special is cooking up in New England…

30. Spencer Rattler - New Orleans Saints

Rattler got his first career start in place of an injured Derek Carr in Week 6. It started well, but the wheels fell off in the second half. The Saints may be licking their wounds, but there were several positive plays made by Rattler that can be taken away from this game.

31. Will Levis - Tennessee Titans

The Will Levis experiment only continues to get worse and worse. He only threw for 95 yards against a Colts defense that has been gashed through the air in recent weeks. He also continues to have zero connection with wide receiver Calvin Ridley.

32. Deshaun Watson - Cleveland Browns

Watson continues to be the worst quarterback in the NFL and the Browns continue to refuse to bench him. He is actively hurting the Browns at this point and seems incapable of throwing for more than 200 yards in a game.
