NFL QB Rankings Week 11: Patrick Mahomes makes strides while Tom Brady's stock falls

There are significant changes to the quarterback rankings entering Week 11 of the 2021 NFL season. No player in the top five from last week holds the exact same spot this week.

Some quarterbacks impressed, while others disappointed as the rankings changed accordingly. Here are the top five heading into Week 11.

Week 11 QB Rankings: Top 5

#5 - Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs

Patrick Mahomes has uncharacteristically thrown ten interceptions this season. Entering Week 11, he had the second most.

The good news is that he hasn't thrown any in the last two games. He has the Chiefs surging right now, winning four of their last five games.

Mahomes currently ranks second in the NFL in both passing yards and touchdowns.

Mahomes will look to keep his momentum rolling in Week 11 in an intriguing matchup with the Dallas Cowboys. Expect fireworks in what looks to be an offensive shootout.

The Cowboys' passing defense is vulnerable at times, so Mahomes will try to take advantage.

#4 - Tom Brady, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Tom Brady

Tom Brady falls to fourth place in the Week 11 rankings after two consecutive bad games in which the Buccaneers lost both of them. The most recent was a bafflingly poor performance against one of the worst passing defenses in the NFL, the Washington Football Team.

The Buccaneers lost their last game before their bye week and the first game after it.

Despite recent struggles, Tom Brady is still having another great season. He heads into Week 11 leading the NFL in passing touchdowns while ranking in the top three in passing yards, passer rating and QBR.

He will look to get the Buccaneers back on track in Week 11 against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football.

Week 11 QB Rankings: Top 3

#3 - Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford

Matthew Stafford fell from the top spot in the Week 11 quarterback rankings after two straight disappointing performances. He threw two interceptions in each of his last two games while the Rams suffered defeat to the Tennessee Titans and San Francisco 49ers.

They have a bye in Week 11 and a chance to regroup.

The Rams offense has lost wide receiver Robert Woods for the rest of the season, but they did add Odell Beckham Jr. They can use their Week 11 bye to make the necessary adjustments.

Stafford is still having an incredible season so far. He leads the NFL in QBR and passing yards.

#2 - Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott

Dak Prescott is having the best season of his career and one of the best seasons of any quarterback in the NFL. He is an NFL MVP candidate and the Dallas Cowboys are legitimate Super Bowl contenders.

Prescott has led the Cowboys to the top-ranked offense entering Week 11 of the 2021 NFL season.

Prescott has been extremely efficient this year, leading the NFL in passer ratings while ranking second in completion percentage. He is one of only five quarterbacks with 20 touchdown passes this season and has thrown the least number of interceptions in that group.

#1 - Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals

Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray

Kyler Murray has missed the last two games due to injury but he still slides back into the top spot in the Week 11 quarterback rankings due to those above him having struggled recently. His absence doesn't take away from the phenomenal season he is having but he will need to return soon to retain his ranking.

Murray currently leads the NFL in completion percentage and passing yards per attempt while also ranking in the top five in passer rating and QBR. He is a truly unique dual threat quarterback who is just as good at scrambling as he is at launching it downfield with precision.
