AFC South Week 7 QB rankings: C.J. Stroud coming for Trevor Lawrence

Carlos Sanchez ranks Trevor Lawrence at the top of the AFC South quarterback hierarchy, followed closely by Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud. The writer argues Lawrence is playing at a dark-horse MVP level, having thrown 14 touchdowns through six games. Meanwhile, Stroud is driving a two-game winning streak for Houston, completing 65.3 percent of his passes with nine touchdowns and one interception.

In contrast, Sanchez ranks Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward and Indianapolis Colts signal-caller Daniel Jones at the bottom. Ward has struggled with decision-making on a 1-5 team, though coach Robert Saleh has avoided benching him. Jones is described as actively costing the Colts following an underwhelming return from injury.
