A quick word of warning before we get to the quarterback rankings: change happens, injuries occur and coaches overhaul game plans.

There are a couple of teams with lingering uncertainty about who will start in Week 10.

These rankings reflect the quarterbacks that are most likely to lead their respective teams this week.

If a different quarterback takes the field with the starters at game time, I give you full permission to put all the blame on me.

*Nathan Rourke and Tre Ford are included here assuming they are starting in Week 10. The Tiger-Cats and Lions have not announced their starter for Week 10 as of this writing.

1. (1) DAVIS ALEXANDER | MONTREAL ALOUETTES

Here is how good a season Davis Alexander is having for Montreal: it was actual news when he finally threw his first interception of the season two weeks ago against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. It wasn’t even a bad throw; the turnover was more about Devodric Bynum beating out Kaseem Ferdinand for a jump ball.

Alexander “rebounded” from his lowest output of the season with a 420-yard, three-touchdown day against the Ottawa REDBLACKS. A small moment from that game came in the first quarter and perfectly illustrated his arm strength. On Montreal’s first drive, while being hounded by several Ottawa defenders, Alexander managed a tight throw to Tyler Snead 20 yards downfield, despite not being able to properly plant his right foot before throwing. The Montreal quarterback had many more spectacular plays, but that simple completion told a big story.

2. (2) TREVOR HARRIS | SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS

Quick shoutout to the Saskatchewan........
