CBS Sports has released its Week 10 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings for the 2026 season, with Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow ascending to the top spot after a historic stretch of play.
Burrow becomes the first player in NFL history to record a 70-plus completion percentage with four-plus total touchdowns in four consecutive games. He currently leads the league in completion percentage (74%), passing yards per game (298.3), passing touchdowns (23) and passer rating (114.8).
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love rises five places to No. 2 despite the Packers ranking last in rushing offense and leading the league in dropped passes. Love leads the NFL in passing yards (2,618) and completions of 20-plus yards (40) while being hit 57 times this season.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy holds at No. 3, ranking in the top three in completion percentage (69.1%), yards per attempt (8.4), passer rating (109.8) and EPA per dropback (0.28) despite his team missing 39 wide receiver games due to injury.
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence moves up to No. 4, tied for fourth in passing touchdowns (18) and leading the league in yards per attempt (8.6) for the 6-2 Jaguars.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen drops four spots to No. 5 after an interception on Monday Night Football, with the analysis noting he "isn't playing lights-out football right now."
Among the biggest risers, Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud jumps seven spots to No. 7 after tying his career high with five passing touchdowns. Dak Prescott climbs three places to No. 9 with six touchdowns and no interceptions in his last three games, while rookie Jayden Daniels enters the top 10 at No. 10 with a league-best 7-0 touchdown-to-interception ratio.
The week's biggest faller is Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, who plummets eight spots to No. 13 after throwing four interceptions in the final three quarters against Tampa Bay — the most interceptions he has thrown in any collegiate or NFL game.
Other notable movements include Drake Maye dropping four spots to No. 12 with 11 interceptions, and Michael Penix Jr. falling 10 places to No. 20 after averaging 143.5 passing yards with one touchdown and five interceptions over his last two games. Rookies Drew Lock (No. 18), Fernando Mendoza (No. 24), Carson Beck (No. 31) and Kyle McCord (No. 32) enter the rankings for the first time.
At the bottom, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert remains winless with an interception in each of his team's first eight games, while Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson missed Week 9 with a concussion. Tampa Bay's Baker Mayfield continues to struggle with a thumb injury, and Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones ranks in the bottom five in completion percentage, yards per attempt, touchdown-to-interception ratio and passer rating.
