Patrick Mahomes is looking shaky, but Justin Herbert and Baker Mayfield are soaring.
With Joe Burrow out for months, talkSPORT’s rankings of the best quarterbacks in the NFL has been thrown into the air for Week 3.
Quarterback is the most important and powerful position in pro sports, which is why Netflix has devoted two seasons to a behind-the-scenes series featuring Jared Goff, Mahomes and Burrow.
With Tom Brady making $375 million and having his own rules in the TV broadcast booth, a new collection of young QBs is ushering the league into a fascinating era.
Here is talkSPORT’s look at the top 20 quarterbacks in the NFL — right now.
Justin Fields, Geno Smith, Brock Purdy and Burrow fell out of the list this week, as injuries shook up the league.
Check back regularly, because the rankings will keep changing from Week 3 until the best teams in the league meet up in Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

It’s been a rough start to 2025 for the new face in Denver.
Nix is only averaging 191 passing yards per game and the Broncos blew a shot at a 2-0 start.
He can play better than this, and Sean Payton won’t settle for 20th in the league.
Stats: 67.1 completion %, 382 yards, 4 TD, 3 INT, 82 passer rating
19. Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars
It’s past time for Lawrence to start living up to his huge contract.
He should be a top-10 QB every week, and he must raise his game in 2025.
Stats: 58.9 completion %, 449 yards, 4 TD, 3 INT, 77.9 rating

It will be interesting to see in a few years who should have been the ‘real’ No. 1 draft pick in 2024.
Right now, Williams is still alternating between thrilling and frustrating every week.
Stats: 61.5 completion %, 417 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT, 89.1 rating
17. Aaron Rodgers, Pittsburgh Steelers
In just two weeks, we’ve seen the pros and cons of the 41-year-old Rodgers.
GettyAaron Rodgers took a step backward in a loss to Seattle[/caption]He rediscovered his youth in Week 1 vs the New York Jets.
He looked like he was in his final NFL year in a rough Week 2 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Stats: 63.5 completion %, 447 yards, 5 TD, 2 INT, 97.8 rating
16. C.J. Stroud, Houston Texans
Stroud is facing blowback for the first time in his career.
He needs to start taking over games and getting more out of his receivers.
Stats: 62.7 completion %, 395 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 85 rating
15. Michael Penix Jr., Atlanta Falcons
Penix’s efficiency has been impressive.
The new answer in Atlanta hasn’t thrown a pick and he could easily be 2-0 this year.
Stats: 63.5 completion %, 433 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT, 88.9 rating
14. Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals
The buzz around the Cardinals keeps growing.
Murray is putting up sharp numbers and, most importantly, his team is stacking up victories.
Stats: 70.4 completion %, 383 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT, 101.1 rating
13. Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams
Stafford should be a Hall of Famer one day.
Right now, he’s continuing to impress while the Rams remain undefeated.
Stats: 71 completion %, 543 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT, 107.1 rating
12. Daniel Jones, Indianapolis Colts
Danny Dimes has been the best QB story in the NFL.
Anthony Richardson will never play for the Colts again if this keeps up.
Stats: 71.4 completion %, 588 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT, 111.1 rating
GettyDaniel Jones has been the hero of Indy[/caption]11. Russell Wilson, New York Giants
Wilson is cooking with fire — at least for one week.
It’s crazy to think that Mr. Unlimited ranks above Stroud, Lawrence and Williams right now.
Wilson will soar even higher if he overcomes Patrick Mahomes in New York in Week 3.
Stats: 60.3 completion %, 318 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT, 92.8 rating
10. Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders
A mysterious knee injury is worth watching.
Daniels isn’t lighting up the league through two weeks.
His primary focus right now must be full health.
Stats: 59.7 completion %, 433 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT, 90.8 rating
9. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs
What’s happening to Showtime in Kansas City?
Mahomes is 0-2, and he’s been outplayed by his competition in both losses.
Stats: 58.8 completion %, 455 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT, 82 rating
8. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles
The best winner in the NFL.
Only Hurts could throw for 101 yards and beat Mahomes again.
Stats: 75.6 completion %, 253 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT, 88.5 rating
7. Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys
Prescott is reminding the NFL why he almost won the MVP two years ago.
Adding George Pickens could be huge for his 2025 numbers.
Stats: 68.6 completion %, 549 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT, 88.8 rating
GettyDak Prescott was the Cowboys’ MVP in an OT win over the Giants[/caption]6. Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers
Love already has wins over Jared Goff and Jayden Daniels, and he was almost perfect in Week 2.
He needs to take a big step this year, and he’s on that path right now.
Stats: 66 completion %, 480 yards, 4 TD, 0 INT, 120 rating
5. Baker Mayfield, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Possibly the toughest QB in the NFL, and definitely the most underrated.
Mayfield is also underpaid, but that will change if he keeps playing like a gritty Pro Bowler.
Stats: 60 completion %, 382 yards, 5 TD, 0 INT, 98.6 rating
4. Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers
No wonder that Jim Harbaugh is such a big Herbert fan.
The best-armed QB in the league could take a huge leap in 2025.
Stats: 72.1 completion %, 560 yards, 5 TD, 0 INT, 127.8 rating
3. Jared Goff, Detroit Lions
The real Goff was back in Week 2.
He also reminded the NFL that he’s much more than just a QB without Ben Johnson.
Stats: 80.6 completion %, 559 yards, 6 TD, 1 INT, 125.1 rating
2. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens
Only one QB in the world is playing better than Jackson right now.
Jackson’s numbers are so good they’re almost unbelievable.
Stats: 68.8 completion %, 434 yards, 6 TD, 0 INT, 136.6 rating
GettyLamar Jackson is in control of the Ravens[/caption]1. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills
Allen is playing like the NFL MVP — again.
He’s leading the best team in the league, and he’s even shaking off a bloody nose.
Stats: 66.2 completion %, 542 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT, 98.4 rating
