Let’s start off by saying that in week three, recent NFL draft pick busts have been climbing the ranks. Jalen Hurts had another great week, as did Trevor Lawerence. But some stars struggled: Mac Jones and (sort-of) Tua Tagovailoa. Some big-name veterans have been consistently underperforming this season. Our usual stats aside, young or old quarterbacks have to lead their team downfield, and to the endzone for the win.

Biggest Quarterback Power Rankings Movers
Biggest Mover UP:
Matt Ryan, Fired UP
Matt Ryan surprised us with a delightful performance this last week. Ryan Hooked up with Michael Pittman Jr. for a great game for the win over the heavily-favored Chiefs. Ryan ranked higher in the double digits simply because this proves that the Colts don’t need to rely on Johnathan Taylor to solely run the offense. The stat line doesn’t show how good Ryan was–he gets the biggest mover of the week.
Biggest Mover DOWN:
Russell Wilson, Down the Rabbit Hole
In terms of rankings, he keeps slipping further and further down the rabbit hole. Ever since his hot start in week one, he hasn’t topped 230 yards since. Wilson right now is relying on Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon in what was supposed to be a revamped Broncos offense, as well as leaning on the Broncos’ defense. Wilson has been repeating “Broncos Country”, yet he keeps letting the “Country” down these last two weeks. It’s time Wilson showed his Seattle self, and not his Bronco self.
