Derek Carr and his Las Vegas Raiders lost on Sunday night, but he’s clearly established himself as one of the game’s best in 2020.

In the 2020 FanSided NFL quarterback rankings — which go live here every Tuesday morning throughout the regular season — we use a weighted average of current and past performances, with the former meaning more than the latter.

Let’s party…

32

Jake Luton

QB Jacksonville Jaguars

2020 stats: 624 yards | 54.5 completion % | 2 TDs | 6 INTs | 5.7 YPA | 42.6 QBR

Last Week: 30

Four interceptions? Yeah, it’s time to get Gardner Minshew back in here pronto, unless the Jaguars are openly aiming to go 1-15.

31

P.J. Walker

QB Carolina Panthers

2020 stats: 273 yards | 64.3 completion % | 1 TDs | 2 INTs | 6.5 YPA | 22.8 QBR

Last Week: NA

The short-lived XFL star replaced an injured Teddy Bridgewater on Sunday and won, despite having an ugly performance. There were a few flashes, but not much else.

30

Ryan Finley

QB Cincinnati Bengals

2020 stats: 30 yards | 30.0 completion % | 0 TDs | 1 INTs | 3.0 YPA | 21.8 QBR

Last Week: NA

This is awful. Joe Burrow is out for the season with a torn ACL, and now we’re stuck watching Ryan Finley lose every game the rest of the year.

29

Joe Flacco

QB New York Jets

2020 stats: 864 yards | 55.2 completion % | 6 TDs | 3 INTs | 6.4 YPA | 56.4 QBR

Last Week: 32

If you happened to catch Flacco’s pick-six on Sunday, it was truly one for the ages. Just a mind-numbing decision.

28

Carson Wentz

QB Philadelphia Eagles

2020 stats: 2,326 yards | 58.4 completion % | 14 TDs | 14 INTs | 6.2 YPA | 48.1 QBR

Last Week: 25

Wentz is broken. The confidence is gone, the decision-making process is toast, the ability to make a play all but evaporated. A pick-six, fumble, safety and so many poor throws. Bring in Jalen Hurts.

27

Drew Lock

QB Denver Broncos

2020 stats: 1,767 yards | 55.6 completion % | 7 TDs | 11 INTs | 6.6 YPA | 40.2 QBR

Last Week: 29

Lock threw a horrific interception to open up on Sunday, but was soli afterwards. The problem with Lock, as evidenced in the stats, are he makes far too many mistakes. The game is too fast for him.

26

Nick Mullens

QB San Francisco 49ers

2020 stats: 1,390 yards | 67.3 completion % | 6 TDs | 6 INTs | 8.1 YPA | 42.0 QBR

Last Week: 28

Mullens comes off the bye week to face the Rams, who have arguably the best defense in football. Tall order for someone who is a middling backup quarterback.

25

Andy Dalton

QB Dallas Cowboys

2020 stats: 655 yards | 63.2 completion % | 4 TDs | 4 INTs | 5.6 YPA | 38.1 QBR

Last Week: NA

Dalton was nothing special in Minnesota, but did enough for a 31-28 win. He barely averaged 6.0 yards per attempt and threw a pick, but he kept Dallas on schedule. All you can really ask for.
