QB Power Rankings: All Starting Quarterbacks

Quincy's NFL QB power rankings for Week 13 of the 2025 season. He ranks all 32 starting NFL quarterbacks before Week 13, from Matthew Stafford to Shedeur Sanders.

Week 12 brought us more stellar quarterback play. Matthew Stafford went wild, and Patrick Mahomes led the Chiefs to a huge victory. For the most part, our league's stars showed out. Still, there were a few players, such as Josh Allen, who gave us real stinkers this past week. Such is the life of an NFL quarterback.

Week 13 should bring more fireworks. Every NFL fan can relate to the fun of Thanksgiving football. The 2025 slate is fantastic, with high-end quarterbacks slinging the rock for all six teams on Turkey Day. It should be a nice introduction to the weekend, which features a handful of juicy matchups as well.

With NFL quarterback play surging right now, we fans are being treated to some fantastic games. Hopefully, this level of play holds up through the end of the season. In a week in which no teams have a bye, let's dive in and see where each quarterback stands heading into Week 13.

Editor's Note: Stay on top of your draft prep with RotoBaller’s fantasy football rankings, featuring expert analysis, ADPs, and draft insights for both PPR and non-PPR leagues.

No. 32: Shedeur Sanders - Cleveland Browns

Shedeur Sanders notched a victory in his first start. He barely completed 50% of his passes, but he led a relatively efficient day on offense as the Browns cruised to victory over the Raiders. Still, Sanders has earned himself another start with Dillon Gabriel set to back him up in Week 13.

No. 31: Cameron Ward - Tennessee Titans

Cam Ward was under constant duress on Sunday, but he weathered the storm and nearly led the Titans to a comeback against the Seahawks. Ward even played well enough to warrant a highlight in this week's column.

No. 30: Tyrod Taylor - New York Jets

Tyrod Taylor was unable to change much for the Jets in Week 12. He is a solid veteran who may give the Jets a better look at their young pass-catchers, but this is not going to be a change that nets many victories.

No. 29: Geno Smith - Las Vegas Raiders

Geno Smith and the Raiders were shut down once again in Week 12. Smith is playing for his career at this point. He is an aging quarterback whose production has steeply dropped off this season. That is not something NFL teams like to see.

No. 28: Kirk Cousins - Atlanta Falcons

Kirk Cousins led the Falcons to a victory over the porous Saints on Sunday. It is unclear if Cousins would like to continue playing beyond this season, but he has a great chance to audition himself to the rest of the league for the rest of the season.

No. 27: Tyler Shough - New Orleans Saints

Tyler Shough was ok on Sunday. He has been able to consistently throw for a lot of yards this season, but his touchdowns are not flowing yet. Still, Shough is giving the Saints enough solid performances to at least consider him in their future plans.

No. 26: Marcus Mariota - Washington Commanders

Marcus Mariota and the Commanders were on a bye in Week 12. Mariota appears poised to remain in the starting quarterback position coming out of the bye. With the Commanders' season lost at this point, it does not make a lot of sense to bring back starting quarterback Jayden Daniels.

No. 25: J.J. McCarthy - Minnesota Vikings

McCarthy once again threw two interceptions on Sunday. The growing pains are not alleviating for the second-year quarterback. His offensive line is doing him no favors, but McCarthy needs to start demonstrating game-to-game improvements.

No. 24: Tua Tagovailoa - Miami Dolphins

Tua Tagovailoa enjoyed a bye in Week 12. Hopefully, the Dolphins can continue to build on the momentum they generated in the weeks leading up to the bye. Tagovailoa is playing for his future consideration as a franchise quarterback.

No. 23: Jaxson Dart - New York Giants

Jaxson Dart should return to the lineup in Week 13 after sitting out a couple of games with a concussion. Dart needs to alter his play style to avoid taking the hits that have resulted in four concussion evaluations this year. He just watched backup quarterback Jameis Winston light up the scoreboard this past weekend, proving the Giants offense has what it takes to produce.

No. 22: Jacoby Brissett - Arizona Cardinals

Jacoby Brissett continues to play solid football in 2025. It is worth considering if Brissett could even be playing his way into a bridge quarterback role with the Cardinals next season. With Kyler Murray's days seemingly numbered with the team, there could be an opening here.

No. 21: Bryce Young - Carolina Panthers

Bryce Young did not deliver an encore after his stellar Week 11. He tossed two interceptions and managed just 168 passing yards in prime time against the 49ers. Young has displayed enough talent to be a franchise quarterback, but the inconsistency is mounting.

No. 20: C.J. Stroud - Houston Texans

C.J. Stroud should be back in the lineup in Week 13 after sitting out three games with a concussion. With the Texans beginning to roll, Stroud's return comes at a pivotal time. Winning on Sunday would put Houston in the division title conversation.

No. 19: Aaron Rodgers - Pittsburgh Steelers

In a surprising development, Aaron Rodgers did not play on Sunday against the Bears. Since Rodgers was close to playing, it stands to reason that he will be back in Week 13. The Steelers need him. Mason Rudolph looked terrible in Rodgers' stead.

No. 18: Trevor Lawrence - Jacksonville Jaguars

Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars continue to win despite modest offensive output. Still, wins are wins in the NFL, and Lawrence is delivering as a game manager right now. We will see if this continues down the stretch of the season.

No. 17: Joe Burrow - Cincinnati Bengals

At long last, it appears that Joe Burrow will make his return to the lineup on Thanksgiving. Burrow has been chomping at the bit to get back on the field. By all accounts, Burrow is healthy and ready to go. Perhaps he can salvage some semblance of a season for the Bengals.

No. 16: Caleb Williams - Chicago Bears

Caleb Williams continues to help lead the Bears to wins, but frankly, Williams is not playing that well. He is missing a lot of receivers, and he is still subject to frantic play. At some point, Williams has to be exposed.

No. 15: Justin Herbert - Los Angeles Chargers

Justin Herbert enjoyed a much-needed bye to heal all his bumps and bruises in Week 12. Hopefully, the bye gave the Chargers a chance to get somewhat healthy. Protecting Herbert at all costs must be goal No. 1 for this team down the stretch of the season.

No. 14: Brock Purdy - San Francisco 49ers

Brock Purdy looked pretty bad in an ugly Monday night victory over the Panthers. Purdy has not been himself for much of the season. He is throwing interceptions like wild. The 49ers' opponents have not been good enough to capitalize on those turnovers, but Purdy needs to settle into form before the playoffs.

No. 13: Bo Nix - Denver Broncos

Bo Nix was on a bye in Week 12. He has been the king of the fourth quarter this season, which has positioned the Broncos at the top of the AFC West. If Nix can find some consistency, the Broncos will be a legitimate force to be reckoned with in the postseason.

No. 12: Daniel Jones - Indianapolis Colts

Daniel Jones once again struggled to deliver a high-end performance when facing a quality opponent in Week 12. Jones is still looking for a signature game in which he demonstrates that he can indeed lead this Colts team to the promised land.

No. 11: Jordan Love - Green Bay Packers

Jordan Love delivered a positive performance in Week 12 against the Vikings. Love's services were not needed very much with the Packers riding the running game to victory. The games will get harder as we head into the closing stretch of the regular season.

No. 10: Baker Mayfield - Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Baker Mayfield did not play his best football on Sunday night. The Buccaneers were rocked by the Rams, and Mayfield clearly has no help on a team that is lacking in talent, with a variety of injuries. Tampa Bay needs to get healthy to help support Mayfield before it is too late for this season.

No. 9: Sam Darnold - Seattle Seahawks

Sam Darnold continued to find his favorite target, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, all day on Sunday. Darnold did not finish the game strongly, but he continues to play well for Seattle.

WHAT. A. TOUCHDOWN. 63 YARDS. @jaxon_smith1

No. 8: Jared Goff - Detroit Lions

Jared Goff was able to ride running back Jahmyr Gibbs to victory this past weekend. Goff was harassed all day by a relentless Giants front. Luckily, Goff connected with wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown enough to support Gibbs running wild all day.

No. 7: Dak Prescott - Dallas Cowboys

Dak Prescott led the Cowboys to an improbable come-from-behind victory over the Eagles this past weekend. Prescott continues to play well this season. He is one of the main reasons that the Cowboys are in the position they are in, with a legitimate chance to make the playoffs.

No. 6: Jalen Hurts - Philadelphia Eagles

Jalen Hurts was on his way to a massive day against the Cowboys in Week 12 until Dallas' defense woke up in the second half and kept the team in the game. This was a bad loss for the Eagles to suffer. However, Hurts should bounce back.

No. 5: Drake Maye - New England Patriots

Drake Maye was not at his best on Sunday. In a cupcake matchup with the Bengals, Maye suffered from a few mental mistakes and what appeared to be a poor game plan. Still, the Patriots earned another win to keep pace as the top team in the AFC.

No. 4: Patrick Mahomes - Kansas City Chiefs

Patrick Mahomes led the Chiefs to victory against the Colts this past weekend. The win was a huge mental victory for a Chiefs team that had run into a recent losing skid. Mahomes should continue to play his heart out for this team. Whenever he is healthy, the Chiefs have a chance.

No. 3: Lamar Jackson - Baltimore Ravens

Lamar Jackson led the Ravens to a win over the Jets in Week 12. The Ravens now find themselves in a position to take over the AFC North lead as soon as this coming week. If Jackson continues to stay healthy, the Ravens should continue to win a lot of games.

No. 2: Josh Allen - Buffalo Bills

Josh Allen was harassed all night on Thursday Night Football. He followed up one of the best performances of his career with one of his worst. Allen has been less consistent than usual this season, with the Bills lacking in offensive weaponry.

No. 1: Matthew Stafford - Los Angeles Rams

Matthew Stafford continued his MVP campaign in Week 12. He led the Rams to a dominant victory over the Buccaneers in prime time. Wins like this are what define a quarterback's season.

Matthew with the no-look TD... YEESH.
