2026 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings, Week 7: Brock Purdy holds No. 1 as Josh Allen rises

Brock Purdy keeps the top spot, Patrick Mahomes out of the top three and a resurgent C.J. Stroud makes the week’s biggest leap

From Purdy and Allen to Patrick Mahomes, Jordan Love and Caleb Williams, here These 2026 CBS Sports quarterback rankings are fluid and designed to tell the story of each starter's respective rise and/or fall throughout the season.

He hasn't been in the top spot for some weeks now, given his torn ACL and others playing better ahead of him.
