Josh Allen reclaims No. 1 in NFL Week 6 QB rankings
The NFL’s 2026 ranking report highlighted Allen’s rushing performance and named Jordan Love as the week’s biggest riser.
Josh Allen reclaimed the top spot in the NFL’s Week 6 quarterback rankings, according to a report published by the league on October 14, 2026.
The NFL report said Jordan Love made the biggest jump from the Week 5 rankings. It described Allen’s rushing as a major feature of his performance in the Buffalo Bills’ Week 5 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
Allen’s rushing stands out
The ranking report said Allen rushed for 121 yards on Monday night, using his legs when the passing game was not his clearest path to victory.
An accompanying Next Gen Stats insight, cited by the NFL, recorded 107 rushing yards on scrambles against the Rams. It described that as the most scramble yards by any player in the 2026 season to that point and the third-highest total in a game in the Next Gen Stats era.
The report also said Allen had reached 100 or more scramble yards twice since 2016. It noted that all other NFL players combined had done so twice over the same span.
Other quarterbacks in the report
The NFL’s comments also assessed several other quarterbacks. It praised Jared Goff’s season and noted that his touchdown-to-interception line stood at 12-0 after he faced Arizona.
The report said Drake Maye had a strong game against the Raiders, while C.J. Stroud played well and earned a win. It also discussed Dak Prescott’s difficult outing, noting that the report viewed his interceptions as partly attributable to bad luck.
Rankings compared with Week 5
The NFL said the arrows in its rankings showed movement from the Week 5 QB Index. The supplied report identifies Love as the biggest riser, but does not specify his ranking position or the number of places he moved.
