NFL’s Top QBs after Week 2: PFF, DVOA, EPA+CPOE Formula

The following scores are “good” through September 21st, 2022.

This metric merges quarterback grades and scores from Pro Football Focus, FootballOutsiders’ DVOA, EPA+CPOE, and the traditional Passer Rating. The objective is to rank quarterbacks week-by-week with a progressive rolling tally and set of rankings.
