1. Patrick Mahomes (at Broncos)
2. Lamar Jackson (at Cardinals)
3. Jalen Hurts (at Commanders)
4. Justin Herbert (vs. Bears)
5. Tua Tagovailoa (vs. Patriots)
Patrick Mahomes has won 12 consecutive games against the Broncos. He owns this franchise at home and on the road. He gets the top spot here.

7. Dak Prescott (vs. Rams)
8. Jared Goff (vs. Raiders)
9. Kirk Cousins (at Packers)
10. Trevor Lawrence (at Steelers)
Stroud facing off against the team that passed on him in the draft is one thing. Facing them with a much better cast of players around him is entirely another.

11. Joe Burrow (at 49ers)
12. Jordan Love (vs. Vikings)
13. Bryce Young (vs. Texans)
14. Gardner Minshew (vs. Saints)
15. Geno Smith (vs. Cleveland)
Pretty much anyone but Russell Wilson this week. He’s not going to have a fun time facing the Chiefs.
