NFL Week 18 QB Power Rankings Red-hot Joe Burrow enters top five Aaron Rodgers remains No. 1 | Forum

As goes the quarterback, so goes the team. It's nottrue in the, but it usually is. And it makes sense: In a pa sing league, the pa sers are like royalty -- the biggest influences on whether a team is destined more for atitle or a No. 1 draft pick.It's with that in mind that we come to you with the most important pecking order outside of traditional team power rankings: QB Power Rankings. Consider this your cut-and-dry guide to the best and worst of the NFL's signal-callers -- a weekly 1-to-32 rundown of every starter under center.How are the QBs ranked? We try to factor in bothcurrent standingandfuture upside. So a long resume doesn't always guarantee an edge over untapped potential, just as a cold streak doesn't always erase a history of succe s. At the end of the day, we're simply trying to sort the QBs based on 2021 value, both now and in the near future.Now, without further ado, let's get to our Week 18 rankings: Week 18 QB Power Rankings1 Green Bay Packers QB Rodgers over the last two years, at ages 37 and 38: a 26-5 record, with 83 touchdowns Marty Mcsorley Jersey and nine picks. Crown him.2 Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Good thing Tampa Bay has the agele s wonder under center, because otherwise the lo ses out wide would be huge.3 Kansas City Chiefs QB Even with a long, rough stretch this year, his numbers look pretty. At full speed, his offense remains a powerhouse.4 Buffalo Bills QB He's had a few down days through the air, but his legs almost always keep the Bills in it anyway. He remains Mahomes-esque.5 Cincinnati Bengals QB Joey Cool. Joe Chuck-It. Chief Conqueror. Call him what you want, but few have trusted the big play more this season.  (+1)6 Los Angeles Chargers QB Four or five years ago, he'd be getting MVP buzz. Now let's see if he can deliver with the season on the line. (-1)7 Dallas Cowboys QB Aside from their recent Wayne Gretzky Kids Jersey Washington rout, he and the Cowboys offense have been too sluggish. But the talent is there. (+1)8 Los Angeles Rams QB Goodne s, he's hidden some bad decisions in some key wins lately. Sean McVay can't put it all on his plate. (-1)9 Seattle Seahawks QB How convenient of him, to turn it on as the season winds down and Seattle potentially prepares to deal him. (+2)10 Arizona Cardinals QB Murray, when on point, is one of the best playmakers in the game. Arizona desperately needs that version of him in the playoffs.11 Baltimore Ravens QB We're banking on him finally returning from a lingering ankle i sue. And, of course, his athleticism remaining intact. (-2)12 Minnesota Vikings QB Sean Mannion's emergency start was a reminder that Cousins Luc Robitaille Men Jersey is actually good. But who knows if his Vikings days are up?13 Las Vegas Raiders QB It's do-or-die time for Carr in Week 18. Get to the playoffs, and maybe he keeps his job amid Vegas' inevitable rebuild. (+1)14 Tenne see Titans QB It's been a tough year, aesthetically and statistically, but he's stayed cool during their run to the postseason. (+1)15 Indianapolis Colts QB He still makes (or gets bailed out of) too many unnece sary plays. If he settles down, they can still make some noise. (-2)16 Philadelphia Eagles QB He's shown real growth as a pa ser in key spots, with some shades of a young Donovan McNabb in Week 17. (+3)17 New England Patriots QB The Jaguars showed up just when he needed a confidence boost. He'll be set up nicely for years to come here. 18 Chicago Bears QB Forget Week 18; the real question here is what kind of staff he'll be working under as a second-year starter.19 San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo may be more reliable in the system (at full health), but Lance just has the "it" factor. (-3)20 Miami Dolphins QB All the goodwill from the win streak? Mostly gone, thanks to the Titans. He's efficient. But is he the guy? We'll see. (-2)21 Atlanta Falcons QB The most exciting moment of his 2021 season may have been when he got flagged for taunting after scoring in Buffalo.22 Pittsburgh Steelers QB He just can't consistently push the ball anymore, but give him credit for giving his all and winning ugly on the way out.23 Cleveland Browns QB Kevin Stefanski and the O-line haven't helped, but he's been part of the problem. Cleveland should be shopping him. (-3)24 Washington Football Team QB Lukas Parik Jersey Ron Rivera is long overdue for a real investment at QB here. Heinicke has the gusto to stick as a top-tier No. 2. (+2)25 Houston Texans QB He's done more than enough to warrant at least some QB1 reps in the summer, save for a big-name acquisition.26 New Orleans Saints QB The Saints have a definite ceiling with him under center, but if he can control the ball, they might still surprise. (+2)27 Jacksonville Jaguars QB Are we taking bets on whether he'll join Jags fans in dre sing as a clown in Week 18 Rogie Vachon Men Jersey to demand a GM change?28 Carolina Panthers QB Reminder: the Panthers traded three draft picks for him. They'd probably take anything to dump him after this year.29 New York Jets QB He started strong in a near-upset of the Buccaneers, but as is the course in New York, it all fell apart. (+1)30 Denver Broncos QB He's auditioning for anyone who will take him off the Broncos' hands. This, unfortunately, is how Vic Fangio goes out. (+1)31 Detroit Lions QB He's actually shown signs of improvement since replacing Jared Goff, but the bar was already low.32 Jake Fromm New York Giants QB Don't worry. Joe Judge is absolutely, positively sure that vets around the NFL are dying to come play for this team.The new NFL season is here!
