Did you survive Bye-mageddon, as Bob Harris of FootballDiehards.com called it? Six teams had early byes in Week 4, and teams had to scramble to fill their lineups. Our Week 5 QB rankings brings back Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson into the fold.
But then again, with two teams on byes this week, so you’ll be without Ryan Tannehill, Derek Carr and Matt McGloin.

We’re also looking at several disappointments at the position, headlined by Tom Effing Brady, who has just one touchdown pass in each game so far. Nick Foles and Colin Kaepernick have been good, but inconsistent, and some quarterbacks are already being replaced (or are in danger of it), as E.J. Manuel and Geno Smith look like weak sophomore QBs.
