10. Kirk Cousins

323 yards. 3 touchdowns.

Everyone loves to make fun of Kirk Cousins, but man, has he looked solid in 2021. The Minnesota Vikings and their fans had to be pleased with his dominant performance against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3. Cousins was dealing all game, and he led the Vikings to a 30-17 victory over the Seahawks. If Cousins can put another performance like this in Week 4, he may have a shot to move up even higher.

9. Josh Allen

My 2021 NFL MVP pick finally showed what I have seen in him. Josh Allen was amazing on Sunday for the Buffalo Bills. He threw for 358 yards and four touchdowns. The Washington Football Team’s defense had no answer for him, and he was making plays outside the pocket. If Allen can play like this all year, his Bills will win a lot of football games, and he has a real shot at the NFL MVP.

8. Dak Prescott

The Dallas Cowboys are a legitimate team with quarterback Dak Prescott. He was coming back from his gruesome injury last year, and he has looked like he did not even have that injury. Prescott crushed the Eagles and embarrassed them then the entire game from start to finish. Prescott ended with an 81% completion percentage, three touchdown passes, and a quarterback rating of 143.3. He was a STUD on Monday Night Football.

7. Kyler Murray

The Arizona Cardinals quarterback has been sitting at No. 2 all season in the Quarterback Power Rankings, but an average game against the Jacksonville Jaguars is why he dropped so far. The game’s final score (31-19) did not tell the true story of what happened. Murray did not throw a touchdown pass, but he did throw an interception. He had a rushing touchdown in the game, but he did not look like the MVP candidate we all thought he was.

6. Patrick Mahomes

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes falls outside the top five for the first time this season as well. Mahomes threw two picks, one of them a crucial one, giving the Chiefs a losing record. Mahomes is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, but he struggled on Sunday and was outplayed by the other team’s quarterback…
