It’s back! Week 3 of the RQI is now live. See where your QB stacked up against the rest.

Welcome to week 3 of the RQI. If this is your first time here, make sure to read Welcome to the RQI! for the full backstory and how the RQI works.

This week was definitely one of the weaker showings from the QB position. We only had one QB post a score over a 70 and four QBs got benched due to poor play. On the bright side, we had eight new passers welcomed to the RQI including a founding member of the RQI, two rookies, a KICKER and some vets. We also saw Russell Wilson return to his rightful place; at the bottom of all QBs who started. Here is a preview into week 3 of the RQI.

  1. Tyrod Taylor (NYJ) - 58.6 - In his first game starting for the Jets, Taylor is in the top 10 of this week’s RQI behind his 197 passing, 2 TD performance. His INT and loss hurt his score but overall, it was good to see Tyrod get out there and give his team a shot. His high volume going 26/36 definitely helped his score.

  1. Patrick Mahomes (KC) - 59.3 - Is he back? I am not sure but this was certainly a start. Back in the win column behind 200+ passing and a TD. Again, some weeks that will be an average score and others that will get you a top 10 RQI score.

  1. Mac Jones (SF) - 60.2 - Back to back weeks in the top 10 for Mac! What a first two weeks for the former first rounder. 27 completed passes, 284 passing and a TD. Don’t forget, game winning drives bring the VIBEZ.

  1. Justin Herbert (LAC) - 62.0 - THIS GUY! See the full season scores but Herbert takes the TOP SPOT through 3 weeks as the RQI season leader. Another 300 yard passing performance, a TD and the first 3-0 start since 2002 for the Chargers. This guy is playing out of his mind and making every Dolphins fan question why he was taken after Tua.

  1. Geno Smith (LV) - 62.9 - Geno! A top-ten spot for Geno is well deserved based on his passing performance. I am especially happy for him because despite his efforts, he was unable to take down my Commanders. 289 passing yards and 3 TD (all to Tre Tucker) is a great performance but getting a win is necessary in the RQI to get a top spot.
