Using a loose formula based on two different advanced statistics, we ranked all 32 NFL starting quarterbacks.Our formula is rooted in Football Outsiders’ DYAR metric and ESPN’s total QBR metric. We also took a look at other factors, including recent performance, game management, and job security.
While various tiers have begun to solidify, this week’s installment of the rankings looks notably different from the previous one, especially at the top.

Below, check out where all 32 starters stand heading into Week 7.
