The quarterbacks ranking for Week 7 has little difference from the previous week, the changes are minimal, the top 10 is almost intact with the same names as a week ago. Matthew Stafford is in first place in the QBR with 75.0, in second place is Mahomes with 70.4 and in third place Kyler Murray.

Patrick Mahomes has stayed on top thanks to his effort every week with the Chiefs, no matter how weak the Chiefs defense is, Mahomes is doing his best to win the games. Kyler Murray has better defense going for him than Mahomes but he doesn’t have the same passing skills.

Tom Brady in the 4th spot and Aaron Rodger in the 5th spot of the rankings, a couple of veterans who know how to play against any team. Josh Allen is in sixth place with 65.6 and Lamar Jackson in seventh place with 62.7 QBR.
