Who is the NFL’s best quarterback right now? Power ranking for Week 11

There are eight weeks left in the 2025 NFL regular season, and we have a new quarterback rising to the top of these weekly power rankings.

Los Angeles Rams veteran Matthew Stafford just completed his third straight game throwing at least four touchdown passes – he had five in Week 7 before a bye. He also hasn’t thrown an interception since Week 3 – which was also the last time he had a completion rate below 63.5%.

Stafford, who just reached a .500 win percentage for the first time in his entire career, is suddenly the front-runner to win this year’s NFL MVP award. The 17-year veteran hasn’t so much as made one All-Pro team, but he currently leads the league with 25 passing touchdowns through 10 weeks.

Meanwhile, last week’s No. 1, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, has tumbled down the board after losing to the Miami Dolphins on the road.

Here’s a full look at the Week 11 NFL quarterback power rankings, including how much each player has risen or fallen since last week:

NFL quarterback power rankings: Week 11

1. Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams

Last week: 5

No NFL quarterback has thrown more passing touchdowns than the 25 Stafford has through 10 weeks (nine games). Lions quarterback Jared Goff is the only other player with 20. Stafford also ranks fifth in the NFL with his 0.6% interception rate.

2. Drake Maye, New England Patriots

Last week: 3

Maye has led the Patriots to a tied-for-NFL-best 8-2 record in the first 10 weeks with his 2,555 passing yards (third in the NFL), 19 touchdown passes (tied for third), 113.9 passer rating (fifth) and 71.7% completion rate (second).

3. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs

Last week: 2

Mahomes is second in the NFL in ESPN’s QBR efficiency metric (74.5), fifth in the NFL in passing yards (2,349), tied for seventh in passing touchdowns (17) and seventh in passing success rate (51.1%). He’s also fifth among NFL quarterbacks in rushing yards (285) and tied for fifth in rushing touchdowns by a quarterback (4).

4. Sam Darnold, Seattle Seahawks

Last week: 6

Darnold threw for just 178 yards on 12 attempts in Week 10, but he holds league leads in yards per attempt (9.9), yards per completion (14.0) and QBR (77.6). His 17 touchdowns on 228 attempts also have him ranked third in the league in touchdown throw rate (7.5%), as the Seahawks hold the NFC West division lead at 7-2 through 10 weeks.

5. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills

Last week: 1

Even with a 300-yard, two-touchdown game, Allen tumbles down the rankings a bit after losing to the Dolphins for the first time since 2022. The Bills’ quarterback threw his fifth interception of the season and lost a back-breaking fumble in the fourth quarter that cut Buffalo’s comeback effort short.

6. Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers

Last week: 7

Herbert has continued to string together wins despite playing behind a banged-up offensive line. The Chargers won their third straight on ‘Sunday Night Football ‘ on Nov. 9, behind their quarterback’s 220-yard effort, which included a touchdown pass to Ladd McConkey. Herbert leads all quarterbacks with 240 completions and 358 attempts. He’s second in the NFL with 2,610 passing yards and tied for third with 19 touchdown throws.

7. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens

Last week: 4

Week 10’s win over the Vikings wasn’t quite the four-touchdown outburst that came in Jackson’s first game back from his hamstring injury. His 58.6% completion rate was his lowest of the season (in six games) and his 176 passing yards were second-fewest this year. His 36 rushing yards, though, were his second-most this year – a good indication that he’s feeling good after missing three games with his ailment.

8. Jared Goff, Detroit Lions

Last week: 9

The Commanders couldn’t stop anything the Lions’ offense threw at them on Nov. 9. Goff threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns with a 75.8% completion rate. It was enough for him to re-take the NFL lead in completion rate with his 74.0% mark.

9. Baker Mayfield, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Last week: 8

Against Maye and the Patriots, 273 yards and three touchdown passes with no interceptions and a 65% completion rate still were not enough for Mayfield to get a win.

10. Daniel Jones, Indianapolis Colts

Last week: 13

Through 10 weeks, no quarterback has more passing yards (2,659) or a higher passing success rate (53.5%) than Jones. He did set a season high with seven sacks, matched a season high with three fumbles and threw another interception though.

11. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles

Last week: 10

Hurts’ performance on ‘Monday Night Football’ was statistically the best of any player’s, probably, with his 183 passing yards and touchdown. But he also lost an early fumble, and the bar is very low coming off that 10-7 Eagles win. Hurts leads the league with a 0.4% interception rate now that Justin Fields has thrown his first of the season.

12. Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys

Last week: 14

Prescott and the Cowboys were off in Week 10 with a bye, so he moves up the rankings by virtue of others around him moving down.

14. Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears

Last week: 17

Williams led the Bears to snatch a second straight victory from the jaws of defeat in Week 10. The second-year quarterback threw for 220 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 63 yards and another (game-winning) score. Most impressive was Williams’ ability to evade sacks against a mighty Giants pass-rush attack that brought pressure more than a handful of times.

14. Mac Jones, San Francisco 49ers

Last week: 15

Only one quarterback had more passing yards than Jones’ 319 in Week 10, and it was Goff – by one yard. Jones did manage to lead all passers with his seriously impressive 84.6% completion rate on 39 pass attempts. He also threw three touchdowns (and an interception) in the 49ers’ divisional loss to Stafford and the Rams.

15. Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers

Last week: 11

Love and the Packers would like to forget their 10-7 loss in a ‘Monday Night Football’ stinker ASAP. Love didn’t throw any interceptions, but he did get strip-sacked just outside of the red zone in a game Green Bay lost by three points to fall out of first place in the NFC North.

16. Jaxson Dart, New York Giants

Last week: 16

Dart may miss the Giants’ next game while in the league’s concussion protocol after sustaining a head injury in the third quarter of New York’s loss to the Bears. Before the injury, the rookie threw for 242 yards and rushed for 66 more, scoring two touchdowns on the ground. Despite starting just seven games, Dart is second among all signal-callers with 317 rushing yards.

17. Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars

Last week: 12

Lawrence can’t entirely blame drops this week for his 56.5% completion rate – receivers only dropped one of his passes, per PFF. He also made five turnover-worthy plays with one resulting in an interception. The Jaguars blew a 19-point lead they had entering the fourth quarter against the Texans in Week 10. Lawrence went 0-of-1 with three sacks taken for a cumulative loss of 19 yards and a lost fumble in the final period.

18. Michael Penix Jr., Atlanta Falcons

Last week: 18

No starting quarterback had a lower completion rate in Week 10 than Penix’s 42.9% mark on his 28 pass attempts in Berlin. He also lost a fumble that led to a quick touchdown in a game the Falcons lost by a score in overtime.

19. Bo Nix, Denver Broncos

Last week: 19

Much as the Eagles would like to move on quickly from their 10-7 prime-time win on ‘Monday Night Football, so too would Nix and the Broncos from their 10-7 prime-time win on ‘Thursday Night Football.’ Nix threw for just 150 yards – fourth-fewest of any starter this week – with a touchdown and two interceptions. His eight picks this season are tied for the third-most in the NFL so far.

20. Joe Flacco, Cincinnati Bengals

Last week: 21

Flacco and the Bengals had a Week 10 bye, which is significant for a veteran quarterback dealing with a shoulder injury he sustained in Week 8.

21. Jacoby Brissett, Arizona Cardinals

Last week: 22

Brissett completed a season-low 50% of his passes against the Seahawks on Nov. 10 in a third loss in four starts for the veteran journeyman. He threw for 258 yards and two touchdowns while avoiding an interception, but he did lose two fumbles that were returned for touchdowns in a span of three possessions.

22. Aaron Rodgers, Pittsburgh Steelers

Last week: 20

Rodgers had the worst QBR (4.5) and second-worst PFF passing grade (36.2) of any quarterback in Week 10 after throwing two interceptions with 161 yards and a touchdown against the Chargers on ‘Sunday Night Football.’

23. J.J. McCarthy, Minnesota Vikings

Last week: 23

McCarthy had a very up-and-down showing against the Ravens in Week 10. He had four big-time throws, per PFF, which led all quarterbacks in Week 10, but he also made three turnover-worthy plays. McCarthy finished Week 10 with 248 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions while also leading Minnesota in rushing with 48 yards on five carries.

24. Tyler Shough, New Orleans Saints

Last week: 28

Shough’s second career start ended with his first career win. He balled out against the Panthers’ defense with a 70.4% completion rate, 282 passing yards and two touchdowns. PFF also credited Shough for two big-time throws and zero turnover-worthy plays.

25. Bryce Young, Carolina Panthers

Last week: 24

Young’s 13.2 QBR was the third-lowest last week. His 124 passing yards were the second-fewest of all starters in Week 10, and his 34.3 passing grade from PFF was the worst of all quarterbacks.

26. Geno Smith, Las Vegas Raiders

Last week: 25

Week 10 brought another Smith game with an interception and no touchdowns, his third of the season. It also brought the Raiders’ third straight loss, leaving them at 2-7 in their first year with Smith.

27. Cam Ward, Tennessee Titans

Last week: 26

Ward and the Titans were off with a bye in Week 10. The rookie quarterback dropped a spot thanks to Shough’s strong game against Carolina.

28. Davis Mills, Houston Texans

Last week: 31

Mills may not play in Week 11 as starter C.J. Stroud works his way back from a concussion, but the backup’s 292 yards and two touchdowns (plus an interception) helped lead the Texans to an improbable comeback win over the Jaguars in Week 10.

29. Marcus Mariota, Washington Commanders

Last week: 27

Mariota will be the Commanders’ quarterback until starter Jayden Daniels returns from a dislocated elbow. His latest effort was a serviceable 16-of-22 for 213 yards and two touchdowns, but it wasn’t enough against a potent Lions offense that scored 44 points. Mariota is now 1-3 as Washington’s starter this year.

30. Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins

Last week: 32

Tagovailoa and the Dolphins may have defeated the Bills in Week 10, but the win also included two interceptions from the quarterback. Tagovailoa still leads the NFL with 13 picks in 10 starts.

31. Dillon Gabriel, Cleveland Browns

Last week: 29

Gabriel didn’t do enough in Week 10 to earn a bump up the rankings in a 167-yard loss to the Jets.

32. Justin Fields, New York Jets

Last week: 30

Play a whole game with 11 pass attempts for 54 yards? Hard not to end up at the bottom of the power rankings, even with a win.
