NFL QB Power Rankings: Where all 32 starting QBs stand heading into the final week by Sam Belden on Dec 28, 2017, 1:37 PM Advertisement
 Using a loose formula, we ranked all 32 NFL starting quarterbacks. Our formula is based on two advanced statistics: Football Outsiders' DYAR metric and ESPN's total QBR metric. We also considered other factors, including recent performance and job security. With a few teams resting their starters for Week 17, most quarterbacks gained at least a couple of places from the last installment of this list. Still, Jimmy Garoppolo and Joe Flacco got significant bumps, while Derek Carr and DeShone Kizer are down. Below, find out where the rest of the starters stand. 32. T.J. Yates, Houston Texans  Ranking after Week 14: 31 Record as starter: 0-2 DYAR rank: N/A QBR rank: N/A One thing to know: This veteran has actually looked significantly worse than Tom Savage since taking over the Texans' starting job, but let's be honest: their season ended the minute Deshaun Watson tore his ACL ahead of Week 9. Yates has a 68.6 passer rating, and it would be even lower if not for a catch-of-the-year snag by DeAndre Hopkins on Christmas.
31. Paxton Lynch, Denver Broncos  Ranking after Week 14: N/A (replacing Trevor Siemian, No. 30) Record as starter: 0-1 DYAR rank: N/A QBR rank: N/A One thing to know: Lynch is getting the start over Brock Osweiler, but neither quarterback is likely to figure into Denver's long-term plans at the position. Still, a good performance could put this Memphis product in line for second-string duty in 2018. After throwing for just 41 yards on 14 attempts in his only other appearance this season, there's nowhere to go but up.
30. Sean Mannion, Los Angeles Rams  Ranking after Week 14: N/A (replacing Jared Goff, No. 9) Record as starter: N/A DYAR rank: N/A QBR rank: N/A One thing to know: With Jared Goff and the rest of the Rams stars resting up for the postseason, Mannion is set to make the first start of his NFL career. The third-year signal caller has thrown just 16 passes as a pro, but he had a great college career at Oregon State.
