12. Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers: Unpredictability remains a factor and we haven’t seen it in the big spots, but the broad numbers are there.

11. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles: It’s been a decent bounce-back year overall for a unique 26-year-old talent, but he hasn’t been consistent enough to be considered top-tier. Plenty of support has factored in.

10. Baker Mayfield, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: He may not be “elite,” but the former top pick is the league’s fourth-highest-rated passer with an NFC-best 71.7 completion percentage and 39 touchdown passes. Turnovers are sometimes still a problem, but the good has greatly outweighed the bad for the efficient Mayfield.

8. Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins: It’s been a bit of a rocky season for multiple reasons, but the 26-year-old has a triple-digit passer rating for the third season in a row, and he’s got the top on-target rate in the NFL.

7. Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders: Three interceptions over the past two weeks, and obviously, there’s a large element of unknown with a rookie in the playoffs. That said, it’s been a special maiden season for a guy with four fourth-quarter comebacks, a top-10 passer rating and 864 rushing yards.
