Here's a look at Mel Kiper Jr.'s Rookie Big Board through Week 10:
1. Dak Prescott, QB, Dallas Cowboys
Previously ranked: 1 | Final 2016 Big Board rank: 114
Prescott has been phenomenal through nine games, throwing for 2,339 yards with 14 touchdowns and two interceptions. He has four rushing touchdowns, and he's No. 2 in Total QBR. Most importantly, though -- the Cowboys are 8-1. He wasn't perfect against the Steelers, but he had some great throws on the Cowboys' game-winning drive. He's the real deal. The Cowboys are his team, whether or not he wants to call them that.
2. Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Dallas Cowboys
Previously ranked: 4 | Final 2016 Big Board rank: 8
The former Buckeye has 1,005 rushing yards with 10 total touchdowns and is averaging 5.1 yards per carry. He leads the league in total rushing yards, as well as yards before (577) and after (428) contact. Before the draft, I said Elliott was one of the best running back prospects to enter the league over the past decade, but I didn't think he'd be this good immediately. Prescott and Elliott are splitting Offensive Rookie of the Year votes at this point, but a Cowboy might get every first-place vote.
Here's the full list:
1.) Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys
2.) Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Cowboys
3.) Carson Wentz, QB, Eagles
4.) Jack Conklin, OT, Titans
5.) Joey Bosa, DE, Chargers
6.) Keanu Neal, S, Falcons
7.) Michael Thomas, WR, Saints
8.) DeForest Buckner, DE, 49ers
9.) Cody Whitehair, C, Bears
10.) Jatavis Brown, ILB, Chargers
11.) Leonard Floyd, OLB, Bears
12.) Deion Jones, ILB, Falcons
13.) Karl Joseph, S, Raiders
14.) Blake Martinez, LB, Packers
15.) Jordan Howard, RB, Bears
16.) Taylor Decker, OT, Lions
17.) Hunter Henry, TE, Chargers
18.) Su'a Cravens, LB, Commanders
19.) Sterling Shepard, WR, Giants
20.) Brian Poole, CB, Falcons
21.) Laremy Tunsil, OG, Dolphins
22.) Jarran Reed, DT, Seahawks
23.) Michael Pierce, DT, Ravens
24.) Tyreek Hill, WR/KR/PR, Chiefs
25.) James Bradberry, CB, Panthers
