Welcome to week 5 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.
Weekly Rankings
Cam Akers (MIN) - 83.0 - Welcome to the RQI! RUNNING BACK WOW a running back coming in at number one, and yes it is well deserved. Cakers went 1/1 32 yards and a touchdown. That is impressive for a non-qb. AND the Vikings won their game by one score. This was an electric play that we love to see.
Matthew Stafford (LAR) - 76.3 - 2025 1x Weekly leader. This guy has stayed on FIRE to start the season. If Stafford and the Rams won, we may have seen him push for the number one spot. Almost 400 passing and 3 TDs all with no INT is a really good game. Stafford’s performance holds his spot at number one for the full season rankings.
Mac Jones (SF) - 76.0 - MAC STAYS HOT. His post game suit also brought the VIBEZ. Over 300 passing again for Jones, 2 TD and a HUGE divisional win to bring the Niners to 4-1. Give Mac his Flowers.
David Montgomery (DET) - 75.8 - Welcome to the RQI! RUNNING BACK ANOTHER RUNNING BACK IN THE TOP 5! Monty makes his return to the RQI in the same week that he made his return home to Cincinnati and put on a show. Monty went 1/1 and threw a TD which is just electric. Good for him and well deserving of his spot.
Baker Mayfield (TB) - 73.7 - This guy. Baker brings the Bucs to 4-1 in another win of 3 points or less. On the road. Almost 400 yards passing, 2 TD, 0 INT, and of course, game winning drives bring the VIBEZ!
C.J. Stroud (HOU) - 73.5 - Stroud returned to the QB we have grown to know in an absolute routing of the Ravens. Sure they were injured but Stroud threw for 4 TD and paired that with 244 yards. He was extremely efficient going 23/27. Looks like he has got the boys back on track.
Sam Darnold (SEA) - 73.2 - Darnold continued to play well and earned himself a top-10 spot. He threw for 4 TD and over 300 yards but did have an INT and a loss which hurts his score. If it wasn’t for Baker, Darnold may have shot to the top of the RQI.
Dak Prescott (DAL) - 70.5 - Even on only 18 completed passes, Dak had 4 TD and got the win over the Jets. He wasn’t the most accurate but he got the job done where it mattered. This Jets team is horrible though and may have made Dak look better than he is. Either way, Dak secures the top-ten spot.
Tua Tagovailoa (MIA) - 69.8 A founding member of the RQI! 2023 RQI Champ! Lefty. This is the opposite of a Tua game. We expect to see him throw for 400, 1 TD and a win. Instead, Tua threw for 256, 3 TD and a loss to the Panthers. This team is in shambles and that is what led Tua to be able to have the high passing game that he did.
Justin Fields (NYJ) - 68.7 - High volume of playing from behind drove Fields to land where he does in the RQI. This team is bad and I believe bad enough that will put fields in one of two places; Towards the top of the RQI from high passing volume since they are always losing OR the bottom of the RQI from getting benched.
