NFL QUARTERBACK POWER RANKINGS: Where all 32 starters stand entering Week 8 by Cork Gaines on Oct 29, 2015, 1:12 PM Advertisement
 The NFL season is now seven weeks old, and Aaron Rodgers and Brian Hoyer are moving up, while Chip Kelly's old and new quarterbacks are not. Using two different advanced stats and a metric from fantasy football, we came up with a formula to rank all 32 NFL starting quarterbacks. The formula uses Football Outsiders' DYAR metric, ESPN's total QBR metric — both look at a quarterback's overall effectiveness in different ways — and the percentage of teams that own each quarterback in ESPN's Fantasy Football game. Think of the fantasy data as a job-approval rating, an indication of how fans think of each quarterback's potential moving forward. In the case of injuries, we will continue to rank the injured starter unless he is out for the rest of the season or there is doubt about his role once healthy. Here is how the 32 starters are ranked so far. 32. Nick Foles, St. Louis Rams Last week: 31 Team record: 3-3 DYAR rank: 32 QBR rank: 32 ESPN Fantasy Owned: 9.1% One thing to know: Chip Kelly's old quarterback has been bad.
31. Sam Bradford, Philadelphia Eagles Last week: 27 Team record: 3-4 DYAR rank: 28 QBR rank: 34 ESPN Fantasy Owned: 45.4% One thing to know: Chip Kelly's new quarterback has been not as bad.
30. Marcus Mariota, Tennessee Titans Last week: 28 Team record: 1-5 DYAR rank: 30 QBR rank: 28 ESPN Fantasy Owned: 36.9% One thing to know: Mariota has returned to practice and the hope is that he will be able to start on Sunday.
