2. Josh Rosen

Josh Rosen had it rough last week. The Arizona Cardinals decided to throw the rookie in the game during a critical situation where he needed to lead a game-winning drive against one of the NFL’s toughest defenses. Obviously, Rosen failed to do so. While he didn’t win the game for the Cardinals last week, he was able to win the starting position for week four.

So, Rosen had his debut this week against the Seattle Seahawks. He didn’t exactly tear it up, but he looked pretty solid on film. He threw for one touchdown and 180-yards. Again, not great. But also not bad. The Cardinals have plenty of struggles elsewhere, so Rosen was far from the main problem this past week.

Not to mention, their most experienced receiver Larry Fitzgerald is playing through an injury. He could be a great player for a rookie QB to lean on, but the circumstances make it tough to do so.
