Dallas super rookie Dak Prescott wins Week 11 with a 47.05-point game in the Miami Herald’s Passer Success System (PASS) NFL quarterback rankings. But the big news is Drew Brees overtaking Matt Ryan for the season lead, taking advantage of Atlanta’s bye week. This is first time since Week 3 that Ryan has not led. Our rankings are cumulative, so players on a bye take a temporary hit that evens out over course of season. The Dolphins’ Ryan Tannehill elevates three spots to 18th overall. Our rankings use a simple formula unchanged since their inception in 1998, factoring accuracy, yardage, TD/interception ratio and team result. Most rating systems including the NFL’s and ESPN’s are complicated and percentile-based, allowing players who miss half a season to still win a season title. These rankings place a premium on consistently productive QBs who who avoid injury or benching. Watch for our updated Top 20 chart in this space each Sunday.
