There has been a shakeup to this week's QB rankings.

Even with the usual QBs staying in the top five, there is a new #1. Brady has finally been unseated as the top QB in the league, but by who? Dak Prescott has also found his way out of the top five in this week's rankings after a horrendous game against the Broncos. Joe Burrow also remains in the top five by the skin of his teeth.

Here are the top five QBs for Week 10.

Week 10 QB Rankings: Top 5

#5 - Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers

After a week off, Justin Herbert has found a way to retool himself as one of the league's best passers. The Chargers got a big win against the Eagles, and Herbert was slinging the ball like his old self.

Herbert climbed back into 6th place in the league with 2,350 passing yards, and he is now tied for 5th place with Dak Prescott for 18 passing TDs. The Chargers' success this season solely lands on the shoulders of how well Herbert can play. With 356 yards and 2 TDs thrown on Sunday, it would appear that Herbert is answering the call as the team's saving grace.

#4 - Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals

Joe Burrow had as tough a game as they come. The Browns were on a mission not to allow the Bengals to take away their win and their chances at a playoff spot. The final score of 41-16 was not ideal for the Bengals, especially with Burrow only throwing for 282 yards and 2 INTs.

Regardless of those stats, Burrow still holds 5th place in the league with 2,497 passing yards. He's also tied for 3rd place with 20 passing TDs. His passer rating of 102 is still in the top ten for QBs, even with the terrible game that he just had against the Browns. Simply put: Burrow is still a great QB. The Bengals just need to find a way to turn things around after their second straight loss.

Week 10 QB Rankings: The Top 3

Who sits at the #1 spot for the QB rankings?

#3 - Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals

No secret here, as Kyler Murray has retained his #3 spot in the QB rankings. He currently holds 7th place in the league with 2,276 passing yards. His 17 TDs are tied for 7th place as well.

Murray still holds the #1 spot for completion rates in the NFL, with 72.7 percent. His 110.4 passer rating is also the 3rd highest in the league for QBs. The Cardinals are currently 8-1 and are looking to be the team to beat in the NFC. Murray also has three rushing TDs and 147 yards rushing on 49 attempts.

#2 - Tom Brady, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tom Brady has finally dropped down a spot in this week's QB rankings. That doesn't mean that he has dropped in his skillset. Brady still holds 2nd place in passing yards with 2,650. His 25 passing TDs are still good for first place. His 108.6 passer rating is also good for 5th place.

No matter the odds, Brady still finds ways to win games, barring the isolated incident that happened when the Bucs lost to the Saints on Halloween. The only reason that Brady is currently #2 is due to the Week 9 bye week the Bucs had. However, the #1 spot might stay contested from now on.

#1 - Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams

The new QB king is none other than Matthew Stafford. Stafford currently holds the #1 spot in passing yards, with 2,771. He is also in 2nd place with 23 passing TDs. His passer rating of 111.0 is good for second place, and his 68.2 percent completion percentage keeps him in 5th place in the league.

Matthew Stafford has had an awakening with the Rams, and they are nipping at the heels of the Cardinals for first place in the NFC West. Even with losing to the Titans, the Rams and Stafford are going to be formidable opponents to get past in the playoffs. Von Miller is also set to start this Sunday.
