2024 NFL Week 5 QB Power Rankings: Jayden Daniels cruises into top 10, Baker Mayfield also on the rise |Max Sporty|

1The Ravens kept him hidden in prime time, but that was due to Buffalo’s front and a mix of receiving corps. Overall, Allen continues to protect the ball while consistently extending plays, and he continues to be set to single-handedly power Buffalo to another AFC East crown. MVP material here.2He’s in the running for a second straight — and third career — MVP honor, remaining effective through the air while dominating as a speedy complement to the towering Derrick Henry on the ground. (+1)3He’s finally starting to get some credit for his slick game-extending swing outside the pocket. The third-year pro also routinely isn’t afraid to launch it deep to San Francisco’s playmakers. (+1)4About a quarter of the way through the season, we can finally talk seriously about MVP candidacy here. His 11 scoring strikes lead the NFL, and he has yet to let a turnover affect his confidence in an ultra-deep and well-prepared Kevin O’Connell offense. His first-round talent is finally showing. (+6)5The only reason people aren’t heaping praise on Stroud is because of the ridiculous standards he set as a star rookie. Houston’s games were close, but he was sharp when it counted.6For the second straight year, the three-time champion was quite careless trying to create as a downfield pitcher, already up to five picks in four games. In a lineup that lost one key weapon after another, he still remained reliable in crunch time, which is why the Chiefs are 4-0. (-4)7Cincy needs near-perfection from “Joe Cool” to make up for a disparate defense, but he’s been very close, especially when feeding Ja’Marr Chase recently. His big-play touch certainly seems intact. (-1)8He’s not immune to upheaval, but Mayfield has now given us ample reason to believe his 2023 Bucs breakout wasn’t an anomaly. His critical instincts and tough mobility are assets. (+8)9The rookie avoided major missteps to open the year shepherding a very conservative attack. From then on he opened up through the air, showing quick accuracy to go with effortless juice on the move. Washington’s “D” isn’t great, but his comfort as a dual threat is a big reason they’re 3-1. (+9)10His return from injury was a vintage Brett Favre experience: ripping downfield darts that both helped and hurt his own team. He needs to be smarter, of course, but the good news is that Green Bay still has one of the most talented arms in the game. Hopefully his knee holds up too.11His Seahawks suffered their first loss in primetime on Monday, but it wasn’t for his lack of sharpshooting. Smith routinely makes Seattle watchable with his explosive side darts.12The former first-rounder was visibly frustrated in a tight loss to the Chiefs, likely in part because he kept getting bogged down in the pocket. When he’s healthy, he’s been solid for Jim Harbaugh. (-4)13His chemistry with CeeDee Lamb remains one of the biggest reasons for optimism in Dallas, especially considering the Cowboys lack any semblance of a threatening ground game.14He still has a live arm at 36, but he has struggled in scoring range this year, certainly not helped by the fact that Sean McVay’s lineup is once again filled with injuries at wideout, including Cooper Kupp. (-7)15An enigmatic face of a hot-cold contender, Hurts has been without some of his top weapons recently, namely star wideout AJ Brown. However, his situational decision-making was volatile. (-6)16A shaky line isn’t good news for any 40-year-old quarterback, but it’s doubly unfortunate in New York, where A-Rod has proven he still has a touch of vintage precision. Will his arrangement improve? (-4)17Good Goff returned with a vengeance against a battered Seattle “D”, going a perfect 18-for-18 through the air. Same old: When he’s well protected, he can zip it as well as anyone. (+2)18The middle of the pack feels right for Cousins, who take turns rising and struggling to get out of the Falcons’ decent but unremarkable offense. He will be around as always. (-2)19It’s fitting that he and Kirk Cousins ​​had nearly identical stat lines in a tight Week 4 NFC South affair. Like his counterpart, he was brave and efficient, but also remarkably affected by pressure. (-1)20His numbers are improved, but the record (1-3) and eye test are again a real concern. Murray has the tools, but his excited form exacerbates the lack of rhythm of the Arizona offense. (-6)21Another game, another reasonable outing for a guy whose turnover history now makes it remarkable if he simply controls the ball. Fields’ athleticism certainly helps Pittsburgh. (-1)22After a magical debut filling in for the demoted Bryce Young, Dalton couldn’t upset his old team in the Bengals, but it’s still clear that he’s giving backcourt options like Diontae Johnson a chance to win. (-1)23The former No. 1 pick doesn’t lack for a fight, as he kept the slumping Jaguars close against the top-ranked Texans. Mechanics remain an issue, though, as he’s hit or miss with pitching.24He’s still a work in progress airing it out, and his pocket movement remains fierce, but Williams at least hit some key throws in a win over the Rams, giving the team a confidence boost. (+2)25The Giants stayed close enough to the more talented Cowboys to start Week 4, but Jones’ undersized depth issues were a problem. Hopefully No. 1 target Malik Nabers gets healthy. (-3)26Nothing is looking good for the Browns offense, yet. The few times he actually delivers a top spiral, the broads aren’t ready. Otherwise, constant pressure made him almost a non-factor. (-2)27Thrust into action with Anthony Richardson sidelined with injury, the 39-year-old pocket passer stood tall and delivered a “W” with relative ease. Can he keep it up if called upon for a full week?28It’s good news in Las Vegas if the quarterback isn’t making headlines, which tells you all you need to know about the state of the position. Antonio Pierce’s defense is combative help. (-2)29The talented but reckless dual threat left the Titans’ win over Miami with an injury, but he’s still poised to hold the top job once Tennessee returns from its bye, assuming he’s recovered by then. (-4)30Coach Jerod Mayo insists the veteran is the indefinite starter, only after teasing Drake Maye could soon be promoted. Admittedly, the Patriots could use some of Maye’s off-the-cuff athleticism. (+1)31New emergency signal caller for Miami, similar results. Huntley can move, which at least helped the Dolphins get on the board in the absence of Tua Tagovailoa, but the entire offense is stuck in mud.32He’s 2-2 to start his rookie campaign, but that’s mostly despite a wildly erratic passing performance. His mobility, however, was useful in avoiding sacks for consecutive games. (-2)
