Each NFL season, a handful of quarterbacks either shine on the sport’s brightest stage or fall flat, ultimately ending their time as a starter in the 32-team league, with no shortage of contenders to fall into the latter category this year.
Among the leading candidates to ride the pine next in the league is rookie Spencer Rattler, who has posted an abysmal QBR of 35.4 in three games as the New Orleans Saints’ starting QB, losing all three to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers by a combined margin of 69 points.
Throw in veteran duds like Daniel Jones of the New York Giants, Gardner Minshew II of the Las Vegas Raiders, and Mason Rudolph of the Tennessee Titans and you have the leading candidates to get benched next in the NFL.
BetColorado.com used its Colorado sports betting mindset and broke down the odds on which NFL starting QB won’t be atop the depth chart for long, with Rattler leading this week’s list after going 0-3 as QB1 for the Saints.

Which NFL QB Will Get Benched Next?
The aforementioned Rattler is our odds-on leader to get sacked next, at -125, while Jones (+400), Minshew (+1000) and Rudolph (+2000) are strong contenders to join him on the bench in the near term.
Throw in longshots like Joe Flacco of the Indianapolis Colts (+3000) and Trevor Lawrence of the Jacksonville Jaguars (+5500) and you have this week’s rundown of the NFL QBs most likely to get benched next.
Of those six, Rattler’s QBR of 35.4 ranked well behind the rest, with Minshew (38.0), Jones (44.6), Rudolph (54.0), Lawrence (65.4) and Flacco (73.6) all scoring better marks this season than the rookie gunslinger out of South Carolina.
