Using two different advanced stats and a metric from fantasy football, we came up with a formula to rank all 32 NFL starting quarterbacks.

The formula uses Football Outsiders' DYAR metric, ESPN's total QBR metric - both look at a quarterback's overall effectiveness in different ways - and the percentage of teams that own each quarterback in ESPN's Fantasy Football game. Think of the fantasy data as a job-approval rating, an indication of how fans think of each quarterback's potential moving forward.

In the case of injuries, we will continue to rank the injured starter unless he is out for the rest of the season or there is doubt about his role once healthy.

Here is how the 32 starters are ranked so far.
