Week 7 is coming up fast, and there are some significant changes to the QB power rankings. To say that this year's QB race is tight would be an understatement.
There is a deep need to want to put Patrick Mahomes in the top five QB rankings, but his near-league-leading interception count is very concerning. Lamar Jackson has also fallen out of the top five after cracking the list last week. The last spot in the rankings keeps changing, though the top three have all but stayed put through Week 6.
Here's a look at the QB rankings heading into Week 7.
NFL Quarterback Rankings: The top 5 ahead of Week 7
#5 - Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers
Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers had a tough go of it, taking on the Baltimore Ravens, which truly showcased what the Ravens have become.
The Ravens became the only team this season that has all but shut down Herbert's passing attack. The final score of 34-6 left a lot to be desired by the Chargers, but they are sure to bounce back.
Based on this performance, Herbert has fallen a bit in the QB rankings this week, but he should bounce back just fine. He still managed 195 yards and 1 TD in the Chargers' blowout loss.
Herbert still holds onto 6th place in the league with 1,771 passing yards. His 14 touchdowns are tied for 6th place. He also sits at 6th for 295 yards per game.
#4 Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals
Kyler Murray has pulled out all the stops and has been instrumental in leading the Arizona Cardinals to a 6-0 record heading into Week 7. The Cardinals sit alone at the top of the NFC and could find their way to the NFC championship should they continue their dominant ways.
Murray has dropped down to 7th in the league for passing yards but is currently boasting a third place in passer rating with a 116.2.
Murray currently has the highest completion percentage of any quarterback in the league right now. His 73.8 completion percentage has been one of the reasons behind Murray climbing his way back into the top five.

NFL QB Rankings: The Top 3
Who has made it to the top three QB rankings for Week 7?
#3 - Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams
Putting Matthew Stafford at #3 on the QB list was a tough choice because he has played so well this season. Being traded by the Detroit Lions was one of the best moves of his career.
Stafford currently sits at #4 on the yardage list with 1,838 yards. His 16 touchdowns are tied for 3rd place in the league, and his passer rating of 116.6 is second in the league.
Stafford has linked up with Cooper Kupp in a big way, and the pair have produced seven touchdowns together.
The Los Angeles Rams are currently 5-1 and are trying to chase down the Arizona Cardinals for 1st place. This may happen sooner rather than later if Stafford continues to play the way that he has.
#2 - Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys
Dak Prescott has nearly the same stats as Stafford. His passing yards are 1,813. His touchdowns sit at 16 and are tied with Stafford. His passer rating is 115, a mere point behind Stafford. The Cowboys are also currently 5-1.
The main reason behind moving Prescott up by one spot in this week's rankings is because Prescott currently boasts the 2nd highest completion percentage in the league. Prescott trails behind Murray by only a fraction. His 73.1 completion percentage is the reason why Prescott has jumped to #2 and why Prescott remains one of the top QBs in the league.
#1 - Tom Brady, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The ageless wonder of Tom Brady can do no wrong in this league. His 44-year-old body seems to regress to a younger version week by week. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers sit at a 5-1 record and continue to trend upward.
Brady still leads the league in passing yards with 2,064. He currently also leads the league with 17 passing touchdowns and 344 yards per game. There seems to be no stopping this QB, and the NFC should be ripe for competition heading into the final weeks of the season. The Bucs and Cardinals might meet one another to determine who the Super Bowl favorites are.
Brady will remain #1 on the QB list if he continues his legendary output.
