Josh Allen Claims Top Spot on Nick Wright's QB Rankings
Josh Allen has moved to the top of Nick Wright's weekly NFL quarterback rankings entering Week 3, displacing Trevor Lawrence after just one week atop the list. Wright, host of FOX Sports' "First Things First," said no player in the league right now offers the same value at quarterback as the Buffalo Bills' star.
Lawrence's run at No. 1 ended despite there being no single dominant performance to unseat him. Patrick Mahomes, coming off a heavy statistical outing for the Kansas City Chiefs, was not enough to reclaim the top spot and instead sits in the second row alongside Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. Wright said he expects Mahomes to work his way back to the top in the coming weeks. beach volleyball sports betting site
Lamar Jackson slipped after a poor second half that included costly sacks and a late interception, dropping him into the third row with Jacksonville's Trevor Lawrence and San Francisco's Brock Purdy, who Wright praised for elevated play despite receiver turnover. The list also reflects a growing quarterback injury toll around the league: Sam Darnold, Jayden Daniels and Jaxson Dart were all removed from the rankings due to injury, while Aaron Rodgers' status atop or even on the board going forward was described as uncertain. Chicago's Caleb Williams remains eligible for ranking despite a subpar performance before he was sidelined, since he has not yet missed a game.
Elsewhere in the rankings, Denver's Bo Nix moved up after rallying his team from a rocky start to a fourth-quarter comeback, and Arizona's Kyler Murray returned to the board after an absence. Deshaun Watson entered the rankings for the first time this season. Wright's board will be updated again next week as more results and injury developments shape the league's quarterback landscape.
