For the sake of time and space (not to mention my sanity), not every player that has scored a point appears below. My only qualification at quarterback was at least five games played, which should theoretically remove non-regulars and any fluke performances. "Best" refers to the player's highest weekly fantasy finish, while "worst" obviously refers to his lowest. "Avg" is the player's average weekly finish. Squares were left blank when the player was active but failed to register a fantasy point. Got it? Good.

How good has Justin Herbert been? Since finding out he was going to start minutes before taking the field in Week 2 against a stout Kansas City pass defense and getting another start versus a Carolina defense which has held most of the non-elite quarterbacks in check, Herbert's average fantasy finish is 5.6 - only Kyler Murray's 4.9 over that span is better. He'll face his most difficult test since Week 4 against the Dolphins this week, but it should be mostly smooth sailing after that. Looking ahead to the fantasy playoffs, he will see Atlanta's woeful pass defense in Week 14 before finishing against Las Vegas (326 yards and two touchdowns versus the Raiders last week) and Denver (278 yards and three TDs in Week 8).

Since becoming the Titans' starting quarterback in Week 7 of last season, Ryan Tannehill has thrown for 4,579 yards and 41 touchdowns versus eight interceptions in 18 regular-season games. He's added 286 yards rushing and five more scores to boot. He may not belong in the same class as Mahomes and Wilson in terms of upside and consistency, but it is a bit disrespectful to think of him as anything other than a very good weekly starter. He's finished with fewer than 20 fantasy points only twice this season.

There has been much handwringing over Drew Brees' inability or unwillingness to throw deep this season, but maybe that isn't always as critical to fantasy success as some would have you believe. Since the Saints' Week 6 bye, the 41-year-old has strung together three straight top-10 finishes despite going up against defenses that rank among the top third of the league in fewest fantasy points allowed to the position. Over the next four weeks, he faces a San Francisco defense that just gave up four touchdowns to Aaron Rodgers, a Broncos defense that has surrendered three quarterback scores in consecutive games and a Falcons' defense (twice, in Weeks 11 and 13) that has given up at least 23 fantasy points to seven quarterbacks in nine games. For those looking ahead to a potential fantasy championship matchup, he'll draw the Vikings. Perhaps the Minnesota secondary will be healthier at that point, but it is still a young unit that has allowed four of eight quarterbacks to throw for at least three TDs.

Other interesting nuggets: Given the quality of his supporting cast, Ben Roethlisberger seems like he should be a low-end QB1 most weeks. However, he's finished inside the top 12 in only three of his eight outings. … Prior to Tom Brady's awful Week 9 effort, the six-time Super Bowl champion's average fantasy finish was 9.3 with Chris Godwin in the lineup. In his other four efforts, it was 14.8. … ESPN's Jeff Legwold did a fine job of crunching some important first-half versus second-half numbers for Drew Lock. Yes, the last two weeks are an encouraging sign for him. However, they have come against challenged defenses in the Broncos and Falcons AND all six of his touchdowns in those contests have been scored in the fourth quarter. Las Vegas (Week 10) may be another opponent he can light up late, but it seems unlikely Miami (Week 11), New Orleans (Week 12), Kansas City (Week 13) and Carolina (Week 4) will be as accommodating.
