Offensive player rankings, Week 7: Carson Wentz climbing Published: Oct 17, 2017 at 05:51 AM NFL.com Analyst David Justice Jersey Arrows reflect changes . Say hello to the quarterback with the most regular-season wins (187) in NFL history. Although Brady Sunday, the with the help of that went New England's way. Brady finished with 257 pa sing yards, two touchdowns and one INT (his second of the year). He's had far better performances, but records like the one he set Sunday put Brady in his own category. The could not stop Brown, as he went off for 155 yards and a touchdown on eight receptions . had a perfect pa ser rating (158.3) when targeting Brown on plays where Brown wasn't covered by CB . The was the 52nd of his career, vaulting him past Lynn Swann for the third most receiving TDs in franchise history. Brown continues to be the league's best receiver, ranking No. 1 in targets (74), receptions (48) and receiving yards (700). , Hunt became the only player in NFL history to start his career with six consecutive games of 100-plus yards from scrimmage. He's a playmaker in the pa sing game (89 receiving yards against the Steelers). It's nice to know that even if the ground game isn't working, as on Sunday (nine carries for 21 yards), he can provide a boost elsewhere. I noted in that it was only a matter of time before was back to his dominating ways. Well, he's definitely back. Bell had 32 carries for 179 yards and a touchdown and finished with 191 yards from scrimmage -- both season highs -- . A week after , the made the right decision to lean on their star running back. Smith recorded a season-low pa ser rating (88.6) and completion percentage (55.9) . That said, he still took care of the ball and improved his touchdown-to-interception ratio to 12:0 for the season. So Smith didn't have his best performance -- he's still having a career year. A big part of was Brees' first-half performance: 12 of 14 for 148 yards, a touchdown and a 134.5 pa ser rating. The got a big boost from the run game (193 rushing yards), which ultimately makes Brees better, so hopefully, that continues. The veteran quarterback is capable of putting this team on his back, but he shouldn't have to. against rookie safety , who had been solid for Gang Green up to Week 6. Gronk finished with two touchdowns and drew a 24-yard pa s-interference call against Adams. The tight end finished with six catches on 10 targets for 83 yards and a pair of TDs. Given how the ' offense looks right now, they had better hope Gronk stays healthy. Hopkins said with under center. The chemistry between the rookie quarterback and star receiver is apparent. Hopkins, who had four TD receptions all of last season, recorded his sixth of the year . And he's just getting started. Gurley notched his third 100-yard rushing game of the season and finished with 23 carries for 116 yards. Through six weeks, he's fourth in the NFL in rushing Julio Teheran Jersey yards (521), tied for third in rushing TDs (four), second in yards from scrimmage (766) and tied for first with total TDs (seven). His production keeps the pre sure off sophomore quarterback . As good as Goff's been, Gurley deserves a lot of the credit. We all have of LI between the and circled on the calendar. As in back in February, Atlanta blew a big lead , this time a 17-0 advantage at the half, before falling to the . Ryan, who recorded a pa ser rating below 90 for the third straight contest, with 47 seconds remaining with the in field-goal range -- a costly mistake, to say Brandon McCarthy Jersey the least. Finishing with six catches on seven targets for 72 yards , Jones continues to produce at a level that is below average for him. The four-time Pro Bowler is putting up a career-low 73.4 yards per game, which is 27.2 yards worse than his per-game mark in 2016 (100.6). He also has just one 100-yard receiving game so far this season and has been shut out of the end zone. OC Steve Sarkisian isn't helping out or this offense, as his play-calling isn't creative. If it is, it's only for a couple of plays. Jones is lining up in the same spots, and it's easy for defenses to double-team him. He's proven he belongs. In Philly, Wentz has gone from a guy who just runs the system to one who has taken the system to another level. He has great vision and constantly makes plays. In , both wins, Wentz has thrown for at least three TDs and finished with a 110.0 pa ser rating or better. According to Next Gen Stats, Wentz's tight-window rate (when receivers have le s than 1 yard of separation from their nearest defender) is 24.6 percent, which is the highest of any QB this season. When throwing into tight windows as a rookie, Wentz had a pa ser rating of 21.6 and a TD-to-INT ratio of 0:9. When throwing into tight windows this season, he has a pa ser rating of 73.1, with two touchdowns -- including Thursday night's to -- and no picks. He's been quite impre sive in Year 2 while leading the to the top of the NFC East. If I wanted another reason to put Fournette in my top 15, I didn't have to wait very long. On the first offensive play from scrimmage , Fournette had . Pair Bob Uecker Jersey that with from a week ago, and this kid is making a case for Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. Fournette finished with 21 carries for 130 yards and sits at second in the NFL with 596 rushing yards. The have scored at least 30 points in the last four games -- the longest streak in franchise history -- and their rookie quarterback has led the charge. Watson leads the league with 15 touchdown pa ses despite not starting in Week 1. In over Cleveland, he had 225 pa sing yards, three touchdowns, an interception and a 103.4 pa ser rating. Watson is great in play-action, and coach Bill O'Brien has done a great job catering his play-calling to Watson's strengths. I'd like to see Watson improve in drop-back situations on third down and in the red zone. If his vision and pocket presence improve, this guy will be nearly unstoppable. *Interesting tidbit:* Watson already has as many TD pa ses through six games as had *all* last season for Houston. </content:power-ranking> After a winle s rookie campaign, Goff has helped his team move to 4-2 and the top of the NFC West. Goff wasn't spectacular , but he didn't turn the ball over. And the are 4-0 this season when Goff takes care of the football. Goff has really impre sed me this season after teaming up with Sean McVay. It was a tough decision, but I do think Goff's playing better football right now than the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL (Matthew Stafford). , QB, (previously No. 1); , QB, (No. 10); , WR, (No. 11); , RB, (No. 14). JUST OUTSIDE THE TOP 15: , QB, Detroit Lions: Over the last four weeks, Stafford has faced heavy pre sure, getting sacked 19 times -- and the went 1-3. Stafford hasn't look particularly comfortable in the pocket, as he's constantly under dure s. , the QB completed 25 of 52 pa ses (48.1 percent) -- the are 1-11 in games when Stafford throws 50 or more times -- and threw three interceptions. He's had succe s in the fourth quarter, but this time, Stafford couldn't work his magic vs. the ' defense, posting a 0.0 pa ser rating on 13 fourth-quarter pa s attempts. The ' offense runs through Stafford, and they're going to have a tough time winning (especially on the road) if he doesn't get some help. , WR, Minnesota Vikings Diggs sat out of , but his production so far this season keeps him in the running. If he's out for another few weeks, however, he's going to have to put up huge numbers to get back in the top 15. , RB, Atlanta Falcons: Freeman had his with nine carries for 68 Jose Ramirez Jersey yards, snapping his streak of four straight contests with a rushing touchdown. As noted above, Sarkisian is the person to blame for Freeman's lack of carries and attention in this offense. , WR, Indianapolis Colts: Hilton's been 's favorite receiver this season, although he only had one catch for 19 yards . , RB, Arizona Cardinals: Yes, this is the first time in six weeks that we've seen Peterson do anything. But it's also the first time a team has really used him. Peterson's output -- 26 carries for 134 yards and two touchdowns -- is what we're used to seeing from him, and I'd say that the 32-year-old still has it.

      had one of the best seasons for a defensive lineman in NFL history, culminated with winning the A sociated Pre s' Chris Stewart Jersey Defensive Player of the Year award at the NFL Honors ceremony on Thursday night. Watt, an All-Pro and Pro Bowl selection, is the seventh player to earn the honor and the first since Troy Polamalu in 2010.Watt joins brother as the first pair of brothers to win Defensive Player of the Year. J.J. Watt won the award three times (2012, 2014, 2015), tied for the most in NFL history. The 2021 season was historic for Watt, as he finished with 22.5 sacks in 14 games -- tying Michael Strahan for the single-season sack record.Watt finished his 2021 season leading the league in sacks, quarterback hits (39) and fumble recoveries (three). He averaged 1. Eric Staal Jersey 5 sacks per game and finished with 12.5 sacks in the second half and overtime -- which also led the league. He's just the fifth player to lead the league in sacks, tackles for lo s, and quarterbacks hits in a season -- joining , J.J. Watt, , and . Watt's 72 career sacks in his first 77 games are the most by any linebacker in NFL history. His 0.94 sacks-per-game average is the highest in league history, as Watt and Reggie White are the only players to have 13-plus sacks in four consecutive seasons. Only Mikko Koivu Jersey White (nine), Bruce Smith (seven) and Kevin Greene (six) have more 13-plus sack seasons than Watt -- whose four 13-plus sacks in his first five seasons are tied with White for the most in NFL history.What Watt has been able to accomplish in his first five seasons has been historic, as his 150 quarterback hits over his first 77 games trail only J.J. Watt for the most in league Matt Dumba Jersey history (most ever for a linebacker). Only White has more sacks (87) over his first 77 games in league history. Watt is etching his mark as one of the best defensive players ever -- finally having the hardware to back up that claim.

      The 's 2023 schedules are likely to be unveiled this week, but every team's opponents for the upcoming season are already known. With that in mind, it's safe to say that a big part of the ' Minnesota Twins Jersey succe s or failure this fall will hinge on how well Todd Bowles' defense fares against young quarterbacks.Tampa Bay will play 17 games this fall, and it's reasonable to think that eight of them nearly half will be against quarterbacks with five or fewer career starts entering this season. That includes the three rookies taken in the top four picks of the 2023 NFL Draft two games against and , plus games at ( ) and ( ). Those rookies might not yet be starting when the Bucs face their teams, but Tampa Bay also has two games against and (four career starts), one against and (five career starts) and one against and (one career start).That's eight out of 17 against young, inexperienced starting quarterbacks, and it could be more. The Bucs actually face all of the first five quarterbacks picked in last month's draft, so in theory, they could see second-round pick whenever the come to Tampa, and le s likely third-round pick when they face .From a quarterback standpoint, the Bucs' 2023 season will be very different from 2022, and not just because Tom Brady has retired. Brady went up against some of the NFL's best quarterbacks last year, facing , , and . By comparison, you could argue that the Bucs will face only three top-10 NFL quarterbacks this fall, in , and perhaps .So given the relative youth of the quarterbacks they'll be facing, the larger question is this: How will the Bucs defense handle the opportunity to confuse/confound/ Fernando Rodney Jersey rattle an inexperienced pa ser? The answer has been a mixed bag in the past four years with Bowles running the Tampa Bay defense.From the middle of 2019 to the middle of 2021, this was a dream matchup for Bowles' defense, which won seven straight games against quarterbacks with 10 career starts or fewer. The Bucs beat , , , Hurts and Tony Oliva Jersey early in their careers in that stretch, giving up a total of 10 touchdowns pa ses against 10 interceptions in those seven wins. This is what you'd expect, with Bowles throwing multiple fronts and coverages and creative blitz packages against quarterbacks still learning how to read and proce s the defenses in front of them.Since then? It's not pretty. Since November 2021, with Brady at quarterback, the Bucs are 1-6 against opposing quarterbacks with 10 career starts or fewer, and that one single win needed overtime last year to beat and a team that would finish 4-13. These aren't all high Justin Morneau Jersey draft picks, with lo ses to players like Carolina's and 's . In going 1-6 in those games, the Bucs defense gave up eight touchdowns and managed one interception, that coming against McSorley.Now, you can affix an asterisk to some of these Bucs lo ses. The last one, against Ridder in Atlanta, came with the Bucs resting their starters in the second half (some more than that) because their playoff seeding was set. They lost to and last year, but more because came in as an injury replacement. The overall vibe remains intact.The Bucs' 2023 season will be largely played against younger quarterbacks. Of their 17 opponents, they're likely to have six games total against quarterbacks with 35 or more career starts entering the 2023 season: twice with , and , Allen and . Four games against rookies, four against very new starters, another against Fields, who is 5-20 as an NFL starter.It's counterintuitive, but in four years of Bowles running the Bucs defense, Tampa Bay is actually better against older, more Nelson Cruz Jersey experienced quarterbacks. Consider that 35-start line as a dividing point they're just 12-10 (55% wins) against quarterbacks with 35 career starts or fewer, and 27-17 (61% wins) against quarterbacks with 36 or more.If the Bucs are to contend for a third straight division title this fall, they'll have to find more consistent succe s against the younger quarterbacks who will be all over their schedule in 2023.Greg Auman is FOX Sports NFC South reporter, covering the Buccaneers, Falcons, Panthers and Saints.

      TAMPA, Fla. -- This wasn't the kind of history came out of retirement to make.Before Sunday, the quarterback had been 89-0 in his career in home games where he leads by 17 points or more at any point in the game. Just three lo ses in 23 NFL seasons, period, once he had Devon Travis Jersey such a big cushion.And somehow the Bucs went from leading the 17-0 just before halftime hey, this is how they're capable of playing again to Brady committing four turnovers in a span of 10 offensive plays, helping the Bengals to ."Turnovers kill you, and they killed us today," said Brady, who committed four turnovers combined in the first 11 games of this season. "It's not the way we need to (play) in order to win, and that's certainly not how I need to play in order to win ... We literally just gave them the ball."Up 14 at the half and lose by 11 points or more? That had happened just four times to any NFL team since 1987, just under 35 years, and the Bucs pulled it off Sunday, finding a new and even more confounding way to lose.A week earlier, they trailed 28-0 at the half, losing 35-7 at the . They've lost twice to the and on mi sed two-point conversions. They lost on a one-handed fourth-down touchdown catch in the final minute to set up an overtime lo s.Despite all these lo ses eight now, the most ever for a team with Brady as starting quarterback the Bucs have the odd consolation of still being Jaime Garcia Jersey in first place in the NFC South, one game ahead of three 5-9 teams and still very much in control of their playoff destiny."All you can do is fight," coach Todd Bowles said after the game. "You can fight, you can play smarter, you can coach smarter, and we have to keep fighting. We understand that what we're doing is not good enough, by far. It's not even close to good enough, and we have three games left to save our season."The Bucs play on Christmas at Arizona, which just lost quarterback to a season-ending knee injury, and is 4-10 and has lost four in a row and six of seven. Win there and at home on New Year's Day against Carolina (which beat them 20-3 in Charlotte this season) and Tampa Bay will clinch back-to-back division titles for the first time in their history, earning a home playoff game.Probabilities aside, that seems hard to imagine, given how the Bucs played in the second half Sunday, up 17-3 and in complete control of the game.Facing a fourth-and-1 from their 26-yard line, Bowles called for a fake punt, but as the ball was snapped directly to backup running back Gio Bernard, he didn't seem to expect it, and the ball bounced off the side of his helmet and he was tackled for a turnover on downs. Even then, the Bucs defense held the Bengals to just a field goal and kept a 17-6 lead.Then a buzzsaw of four Brady turnovers in four drives, leading to three Bengals touchdowns and a 27-17 lead. Brady had a pa s intercepted by , fumbled on a sack and then fumbled on a handoff to . The Bengals only had to go 31, 13 and 39 yards for their touchdowns, this after getting the ball at the Bucs' 13 off the fake punt. If there were any chance of bouncing back for a comeback, Brady threw another interception on the next drive, for four turnovers in a span of 10 offensive plays."We're pi sed off," Bowles said of his locker room after the game. "It's the same old song. It's Bucs vs. Bucs. We play a good first half, and the second half, we come out and we shoot ourselves in the foot, either by turnovers or penalties Kendrys Morales Jersey or field position on special teams. It's a tale of two halves, and the half we played in the second half was Bucs vs. Bucs."That has been the storyline all season, a team good enough for Brady to come out of retirement for, yet unable to score anywhere nearly as consistently as his first two seasons in Tampa, getting 30 points a game. The 23 points scored by the Bucs on Sunday including six on a meaningle s touchdown pa s with 49 seconds left marked the second-highest scoring total this season, behind a 41-31 lo s to the that also included a tack-on touchdown in the final minutes.The defense continues to be unable to create takeaways with any regularity. They had one Sunday, intercepting a pa s, but that's just 13 takeaways total in 14 games in the entire NFL, only the (11) and Saints (10) have forced fewer.The Bucs have just three games left, and could even back into the playoffs as a 7-10 division champ, but it's been so rare that they've played like a first-place team, that they've played like a winning team from start to finish, that even if they got to the playoffs, there's little confidence in what the Bucs could Justin Smoak Jersey do, even with a seven-time Super Bowl champion as their quarterback."I think we have the ability to play good," Brady said. "I don't think we lack confidence in playing good. It's just consistency. Two good quarters doesn't win you any football games, and five turnovers doesn't win you football games."It's the first time in Brady's career he's had multiple interceptions and multiple lost fumbles in the same game. His ability to avoid turnovers was perhaps what he'd done best as a 45-year-old, but even that has given way with six turnovers in the last two lo ses.The Bucs are a team with a losing record, but reasonably, all they have to do is beat two teams that have losing records in the next three weeks, and they'll be a playoff team, if an underwhelming one. Tampa Bay does not have much time to turn their season around, but that remains their goal, however frustrating that pursuit continues to be for them."We have a lot of toughne s," Bowles said. "We have to deal with adversity better. We have to stop the miscues and the Bucs vs. Bucs. We understand that. We talk about it, we Aaron Sanchez Jersey preach it, we practice it, we take ownership of it, and we'll fight to stop it."Top stories from FOX Sports:Read more from the :Greg Auman is FOX Sports NFC South reporter, covering the Buccaneers, Falcons, Panthers and Saints.
