With four touchdowns as well, Jackson is a lock for an upgrade.

4. Tom Brady - QB - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
What else is there to say about the GOAT? After being temporarily upgraded to 99 following Week 4, he might be heading for a permanent 99 after this week. Brady was surgical against the Miami Dolphins completing 30 passes on 41 attempts. He had 411 yards with five touchdowns for a passer rating of 144.4.
5. Kyle Pitts - TE - Atlanta Falcons
