Every week we will bring you a selection of the best throws from quarterbacks across the NFL. Did you see an amazing throw worthy of inclusion? If so, you can tweet @TheQBList on Twitter to let us know and we’ll give you a shout-out here in the article if your tip makes the cut.

 

Justin Fields to DJ Moore

 

The majesty of Justin Fields in full, unrestricted flow was a joy to behold. He unleashed his qualities in the direction of DJ Moore all night in the Thursday Night Football contest against the Commanders. This back shoulder throw to the back of the end zone was pure class.

 

Sam Howell to Terry McLaurin

 

Fair play to second-year quarterback Sam Howell, who for the second week in a row clawed his team back into contention in a football game with heart and quality. This perfectly placed throw to wideout Terry McLaurin was one of the throws of the night in a night of special throws.

 

Trevor Lawrence to Calvin Ridley

 

The prospect of an emerging Trevor Lawrence combined with a resurgent Calvin Ridley was one of the storylines of the offseason, and after a couple of quiet weeks the dream is alive. Lawrence nailed this deep throw to Ridley in a play that has clearly been perfected on the training field.

 

Jared Goff to Sam LaPorta

 

Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions have evolved into the fun, innovative stage of life. This beautiful play call from Ben Johnson was perfectly executed from a determined Goff who is going through the unlikeliest of career renaissances. What better than a flea-flicker with deception. Rookie Sam LaPorta is killing it at the tight end position in fantasy.

 

Anthony Richardson to Josh Downs

 

Wowsers! If any doubts existed about rookie Anthony Richardson‘s future as an exciting franchise quarterback in the NFL then this throw put that notion to bed. A phenomenal throw across the hashes from Richardson, who drops this ball expertly in for fellow rookie Josh Downs.

 

Tua Tagovailoa to Tyreek Hill

 

This is becoming automatic! Tua Tagovailoa casually dropping a 69-yard touchdown bomb to Tyreek Hill is as unfair as it gets. Elite!

 

Kenny Pickett to George Pickens

 

Another week that Kenny Pickett stepped up and delivered for his team despite failings in play calling to dropped passes from his team. George Pickens runs the perfect route and makes the perfect catch to provide the Steelers win a statement win.

 

Joe Burrow to Ja’Marr Chase

 

We’ve missed this! Bengals superstar Joe Burrow looked like the quarterback we know and love to deliver a fantasy feast for his number one target, Ja’Marr Chase who left the day with three touchdown grabs from his buddy. This dart on the run was perfectly located and executed.
