Josh Allen and Brock Purdy remain leading quarterback contenders, while Joe Burrow is climbing after a hot stretch. Jared Goff’s 15 touchdowns and zero interceptions also strengthen his case. Among non-quarterbacks, Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has moved ahead of Kenneth Walker, and Houston Texans edge rusher Will Anderson Jr. enters the top 10 after an impressive run of pressures and sacks.
