NFL quarterback power rankings heading into week 5 2022 season

NFL Quarterback power rankings week 5 2022

#5 - Justin Herbert

Los Angeles Chargers v Houston Texans

Like Tua, Justin Herbert has been playing hurt in 2022, but that hasn't stopped him from balling out at the start of this NFL season. Playing with a fractured rib cartlidge, Herbert passed for 340 yards in their win over the Houston Texans. He did so without star wideout Keenan Allen.

Herbert faces a much tougher defense in Week 5, the Browns, but could have Allen back for the matchup.

2022 Key Stats - 9 TDs 2 INTs 1,250 Yards QBR 102.2

#4 - Jalen Hurts

Jacksonville Jaguars v Philadelphia Eagles

Despite passing for just four touchdowns in 2022, Jalen Hurts has led the Eagles to a 4-0 start. They remain the only unbeaten team in the NFL, down largely to their rush offense led by Hurts. He's rushed for 205 yards and four further scores, and when he's needed to throw, he's had A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith aiding him. Hurts and the Eagles look to remain unbeaten when they come up against the Arizona Cardinals.

2022 Key Stats - 4 TDs, 2 INTs (4 Rush TDs), 1,120 Yards, QBR 99.6

#3 - Lamar Jackson

Buffalo Bills v Baltimore Ravens

Lamar Jackson has dominated the Baltimore Ravens' offense so far in 2022. Lamar has passed for 11 touchdowns and ran for another two, as many fans and analysts have compared this season to his 2019 MVP year. Lamar has rushed for 316 yards and two scores, as well as nearly 900 through the air, as he continues to be the best dual-threat QB in NFL history. Jackson and the Ravens face a stern test against the division rival Bengals in Week 5.

2022 Key Stats - 11 TDs, 4 INTs, 893 Yards, QBR 105.1

#2 - Patrick Mahomes

Kansas City Chiefs v Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Patrick Mahomes continues to excel with the Chiefs, despite the loss of Tyreek Hill. Mahomes was excellent during Kansas City's win over Tom Brady and the Buccaneers in Week 4, passing for 249 yards and three touchdowns in the 41-31 win. Mahomes comes up against the Las Vegas Raiders, who've won one game all season in Week 5.

2022 Key Stats - 11 TDs, 2 INTs, 1,106 Yards, QBR 108.4

#1 - Josh Allen

Buffalo Bills v Baltimore Ravens

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen remains the best QB in football at the moment. Allen led the Bills to a last-second comeback victory over the Ravens in Week 4, displaying his accuracy, poise and mobility to lead the team back.

Allen has proven since the season opener that he belongs at the top of the list and will look to keep up his elite performance levels against the Steelers in Week 5.

2022 Key Stats - 10 TDs, 2 INTs, 1,227 Yards, QBR 101
