As we head toward the midpoint of the NFL season, the top six QBs in our power rankings have separated themselves from the pack.
Our rating is a composite of three advanced stats: defence-adjusted yards above replacement (DYAR), total QB rating (QBR), and win probability added (WPA). Each stat accounts for one-third of the rating.
Andy Dalton made a huge leap this week, and Philip Rivers reclaimed the coveted No. 2 spot.
