It was an up-and-down week for the NFL’s top quarterbacks. Some – Josh Allen, Jordan Love – struggled mightily, while others – Matthew Stafford, Jared Goff – balled out. Here are my top 15 quarterbacks in the NFL going into Week 11.
15. Caleb Williams

Williams helped the Bears make a key come-from-behind win against the Giants on Sunday. He threw for 220 yards and a touchdown, ran for 63 yards and another score, and did not turn the ball over for a second consecutive game.

14. Daniel Jones
It was a second straight rocky outing for Jones, who took a whopping seven sacks and turned the ball over twice. However, he also threw for 255 yards and a touchdown and helped the Colts move to a league-best 8-2.
13. Mac Jones
It’s about time Jones makes this list; he’s been solid in relief of the injured Brock Purdy, although he’s had his issues with turnovers. He threw for three touchdowns and an interception in a loss to the Rams’ high-flying offense in Week 11.
12. Dak Prescott

The guy needs to find some consistency following the Cowboys’ bye week. Dak faces a weak Raiders defense in Week 11, so I fully expect a dominant performance from the erratic quarterback.

11. Jordan Love
For the second straight week, Love has looked lost out there on the field. He looked frazzled by the Eagles’ strong defensive line and lost a fumble, leading the Packers to just seven points in a frustrating loss.
10. Justin Herbert
Injuries are absolutely decimating the Chargers’ roster, but Herbert keeps on fighting regardless, and he’s playing some good football. In a win over the Steelers this week, he threw for 220 yards and a touchdown, looking poised and in control.

9. Sam Darnold

In a blowout win over the Cardinals, Darnold wasn’t asked to do much, throwing for just 178 yards with one touchdown and one interception. But he’s still been one of the league’s best quarterbacks this season, although he has thrown an interception in three consecutive games.
8. Jared Goff
Goff was great for the second straight week; against an overmatched Commanders defense, he threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns in a get-right game for the Lions’ offense. With Dan Campbell calling the shots now in Detroit, Goff could be moving up on this list in the future.
7. Drake Maye
For the third straight week, Maye threw an interception, and this one was a costly turnover in the end zone. However, he played well before that, throwing for 270 yards and two touchdowns and helping New England establish a lead it did not relinquish.
6. Jalen Hurts

Against a ferocious Packers defense – and arguably his own play-caller – Hurts made all the right decisions in a cold night at Lambeau Field. He lost a fumble early, but threw for 183 yards and a crucial touchdown in the fourth quarter, helping Philly pull off an ugly road win.
5. Patrick Mahomes
Mahomes will have to figure some things out following the bye week. He’s been sharp on underneath throws, but appears to have lost his touch on deep balls, and that will have to change if Kansas City wants to make the Super Bowl again.
4. Baker Mayfield
Mayfield got back to business in Week 10, throwing for 273 yards and three touchdowns against a good New England defense. While he wasn’t able to get the win, it was good to see him bounce back after the Bucs’ bye week.
3. Lamar Jackson

It was against a tough defense on the road, but Jackson struggled to make any kind of impact against the Vikings. He threw for just 176 yards and a touchdown, but did well to avoid a turnover in a narrow victory.
2. Josh Allen
Following last week’s dominant performance against the Chiefs, this was incredibly disappointing. Allen looked like a shell of himself, throwing a costly end-zone interception and leading the Bills to just 13 points.
1. Matthew Stafford
This guy makes four-touchdown games seem like a walk in the park. Against the 49ers’ overmatched defense, Stafford tossed four scores for the third straight game and is making a real MVP charge.
