The NFL is littered with top-tier players, but with about 50 players on an active roster, and there being 32 teams, there are well over 1,500 players in the league on a roster at any given moment, and it's even more during the offseason before roster cut-downs happen.
Ranking the very best players in the league would not be a challenge, and even ranking the best 50 in the NFL would not be too hard, but we want to take things up a huge notch with some insanely deep player power rankings.
Our biggest power rankings to date; we've ranked the 200 best players in the NFL. We've included players who are still in the league but are not yet on teams, as they're obviously still in the league. However, we have not included any rookies, as the rookie class hasn't taken a single snap in a game, so it wouldn't make sense to include them. Our rankings would be best suited being based on a player's total body of work, but we also have to toe a fine line and put a bit more emphasis on 2025 production, as the NFL is a 'what have you done for me lately' league as well. Let's do this.
NFL Power Rankings, 2026: Ranking the top 200 players in the league
200. Joe Alt, OT, Los Angeles Chargers
Limited to just six games in 2025, Joe Alt manages to get in the top-200. He's one of the better tackles in the NFL already, when healthy.
199. Cam Ward, QB, Tennessee Titans
After a rookie season in which Cam Ward really began to put things together down the stretch, he lands at 199 in our power rankings.
198. Stefon Diggs, WR, Free Agent
Having lost a step but clearly still productive, Stefon Diggs' 1,000-yard season in 2025 is absolutely worthy of his ranking in our top 200 players.
197. Joe Tippmann, OC, New York Jets
One of the more underrated linemen in the league, New York Jets' Joe Tippmann is a steady presence along the team's interior.
196. Amarius Mims, OT, Cincinnati Bengals
Another young, underrated offensive lineman, Amarius Mims and the entire Cincinnati Bengals' offensive line really came together nicely in 2025.
195. Dalton Schultz, TE, Houston Texans
Dalton Schultz is a rock-solid receiving tight end and is honestly as reliable as they come. The perfect example of a 'good not great' player in this league, Schultz is 195 in our rankings.
194. TreVeyon Henderson, RB, New England Patriots
A solid rookie season for the dual-threat TreVeyon Henderson could set the stage for a major breakout in 2026.
193. Tyler Shough, QB, New Orleans Saints
Tyler Shough was another rookie quarterback in 2025 who largely played quite well. He's got a clever off-schedule ability and appears to be good enough to breakout in 2026.
192. Hjalte Froholdt, OC, Arizona Cardinals
Really coming on as a quality center with the Arizona Cardinals, Hjalte Froholdt may not be a household name, but he's one of the better centers in the league.
191. Marcus Jones, CB, New England Patriots
Marcus Jones had three interceptions and 11 passes defended for the AFC champions in 2025, earning second-team All-Pro honors.
190. KaVonte Turpin, WR, Dallas Cowboys
An elite return man, KaVonte Turpin doesn't really move the needle a lot as a true wide receiver, but he's quite good on special teams.
189. Chimere Dike, WR, Tennessee Titans
Chimere Dike lead the NFL in all-purpose yards in 2025, doing damage as a receiver, kick returner, and punt returner.
188. J.K. Dobbins, RB, Denver Broncos
J.K. Dobbins was on pace for over 1,300 yards with the Denver Broncos, but a foot injury ended what could have been a majorly productive year.
187. Jakobi Meyers, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars
As sure-handed as they come, Jakobi Meyers lands inside our top-200. He was a huge part of the Jacksonville offense breaking out in 2025.
186. Emeka Egbuka, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Emeka Egbuka is a future No. 1 wide receiver, and he honeslty might already be there for Tampa Bay.
185. George Karlaftis, DE, Kansas City Chiefs
George Karlaftis isn't a special player, but he's been productive for multiple years and only recently turned 25 years old.
184. Dre’Mont Jones, OLB, New England Patriots
Another rock-solid pass-rusher, Dre'Mont Jones has been a 3-4 defensive end and a true outside linebacker in his career.
183. Foye Oluokun, LB, Jacksonville Jaguars
A tackling machine, Foye Oluokun is a high-floor player for Jacksonville and has a nose for the football.
182. Al-Quadin Muhammad, DE, Detroit Lions
With 11 sacks and 20 quarterback hits in 2025, Al-Quadin Muhammad's career year lands him 182nd in our power rankings.
181. Jordan Battle, SAF, Cincinnati Bengals
Jordan Battle played the best football of his career for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2025. He's also never missed a game in three years in the NFL.
180. Tyler Warren, TE, Indianapolis Colts
Maybe one of the most complete tight ends in football, Tyler Warren lands at 180 in our power rankings.
179. DeVonta Smith, WR, Philadelphia Eagles
Perhaps sliding into a No. 1 WR role soon, DeVonta Smith is a crafty route-runner and a 'plus' player at the position.
178. Zach Frazier, OC, Pittsburgh Steelers
Zach Frazier might already be a top-5 center in the NFL and is one of many young offensive linemen Pittsburgh has recently drafted.
177. Juwan Johnson, TE, New Orleans Saints
Juwan Johnson had 889 yards on 77 receptions. That type of production from a tight end is ideal and lands him at 177 in our rankings.
176. Nick Bolton, LB, Kansas City Chiefs
Not offering much in coverage, Nick Bolton is otherwise a very good linebacker, finishing with 154 tackles in 2025.
175. Parker Washington, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars
Parker Washington was a frisky breakout stud for Jacksonville in 2025, helping this offense hit its stride near the end of the season.
174. Josh Jacobs, RB, Green Bay Packers
Josh Jacobs is a rugged runner and one of the best pure runners in the NFL. He's been a productive player his entire career.
173. Mac Jones, QB, San Francisco 49ers
Mac Jones filled in quite nicely for the injured Brock Purdy in 2025 for San Francisco.
172. Breece Hall, RB, New York Jets
Breece Hall just inked a huge deal with New York and is one of the better dual-threat running backs in the NFL.
171. Michael Wilson, WR, Arizona Cardinals
An underrated receiver, Michael Wilson had 1,006 yards for Arizona in 2025.
170. Eddy Pineiro, K, San Francisco 49ers
One of the best kickers in the NFL this past season, we simply have to recognize how good Eddy Pinerio was. He's not the only kicker in our rankings.
169. Saquon Barkley, RB, Philadelphia Eagles
A down year for Saquon Barkley really makes you wonder if a decline is coming, but he's still very effective overall.
168. Jonah Jackson, OG, Chicago Bears
Jonah Jackson has played extremely reliable football for Chicago and played in all 17 games after playing in just four in 2024.
167. Coby Bryant, SAF, Chicago Bears
Coby Bryant signed with the Chicago Bears in free agency after a breakout season with Seattle in 2025. He's one one of numerous safeties in our rankings.
166. Carson Schwesinger, LB, Cleveland Browns
Carson Schwesinger might already be one of the best inside linebackers in the NFL after a Defensive Rookie of the Year season.
165. Bryan Cook, SAF, Cincinnati Bengals
A steady, reliable starter, Bryan Cook signed with Cincinnati this offseason and may not have the highest floor as a player, but he's consistent.
164. Bryce Young, QB, Carolina Panthers
A career year for Bryce Young in 2025, he finished with 23 passing touchdowns and led the Carolina Panthers to an NFC South title.
163. Garrett Wilson, WR, New York Jets
Garrett Wilson has dealt with below-average quarterback play for years with the Jets, but he produces year after year.
162. Frankie Luvu, LB, Washington Commanders
Frankie Luvu is a steady starter at linebacker and has notable pass-rush upside at the position.
161. Ray Davis, RB, Buffalo Bills
Another elite returner in the NFL, Ray Davis lands at 161 in our rankings.
160. Travis Etienne, RB, New Orleans Saints
Yet another 1,000-yard rushing season, Travis Etienne signed a four-year deal with the Saints in 2026 and is a dual-threat weapon.
159. Antonio Johnson, SAF, Jacksonville Jaguars
A former fifth-round pick, Antonio Johnson had five interceptions and 107 interception return yards in a breakout campaign for Jacksonville in 2025.
158. David Edwards, OG, Buffalo Bills
An above-average guard, David Edwards signed with New Orleans after a successful stint with Buffalo.
157. Tuli Tuipulotu, EDGE, Los Angeles Chargers
A 13-sack season lands Tuli Tuipulotu at 157 in our power rankings, and he isn't yet 24 years old, either.
156. Xavier Watts, SAF, Atlanta Falcons
Xavier Watts' incredible rookie season gets him just outside the top-150 in our player power rankings. The Atlanta secondary is in great hands.
155. Cedric Gray, LB, Tennessee Titans
Cedric Gray really broke out for Tennessee in 2025 and could be primed for a career year with Robert Saleh now running the show.
154. George Kittle, TE, San Francisco 49ers
Arguably still the league's most complete tight end, injuries have truly derail what may have otherwise been a slam-dunk Hall of Fame career.
153. Marvin Mims Jr., WR, Denver Broncos
Arguably the best return man in the NFL, Marvin Mims Jr. also makes the most of his opportunities on the Denver offense.
152. Wan’Dale Robinson, WR, Tennessee Titans
A 1,000-yard season led Wan'Dale Robinson to follow Brian Daboll to Tennessee this offseason.
151. CJ Stroud, QB, Houston Texans
Regressing the past two seasons, CJ Stroud is a rather average quarterback, but he does have an ability to be a prolific passer.
150. Dexter Lawrence, DT, Cincinnati Bengals
A down year in 2025, Dexter Lawrence is still one of the more physically imposing defensive players in the league and is going to elevate this Cincinnati defense big-time.
149. Jaxson Dart, QB, New York Giants
Jaxson Dart is already a notable dual-threat passer, and the foundation is set for him for a breakout campaign in 2026.
148. Brandon Jones, SAF, Denver Broncos
Brandon Jones is great near the line of scrimmage and can also hold up well in coverage. He's 148 in our player power rankings.
147. Laiatu Latu, DE, Indianapolis Colts
A bit of a breakout season in 2025 for Indianapolis, Laiatu Latu's production skyrocketed in 2025 after what was still a solid rookie campaign.
146. Damien Lewis, OG, Carolina Panthers
A reliable, rock-solid guard, Damien Lewis has helped the Carolina offensive line emerge as one of the better units in the NFL.
145. Andrew Van Ginkel, EDGE, Minnesota Vikings
A quality pass-rusher who did see Jonathan Greenard leave via trade, Andrew Van Ginkel is also a flat-out playmaker for Minnesota.
144. Jaycee Horn, CB, Carolina Panthers
Jaycee Horn has been able to stay on the field after early-career injury concerns. He's sticky in coverage and has been one of the better cornerbacks in the NFL.
143. Jesse Bates III, SAF, Atlanta Falcons
A do-it-all safety who has also played for Cincinnati, Jessie Bates III continues to be one of the best at his position.
142. Rashid Shaheed, WR, Seattle Seahawks
A speedster and elite returner with legitimate receiver upside, Rashid Shaheed lands at 142 and helped Seattle win the Super Bowl this year.
141. Jordan Stout, P, New York Giants
One of the best punters in the NFL, Jordan Stout's special team's ability is 100 percent worthy of landing on our rankings.
140. Trey Smith, OG, Kansas City Chiefs
Despite playing in just 12 games in 2025, Trey Smith has been one of the better guards in the league ever since he entered the NFL, really.
139. Poona Ford, DT, Los Angeles Rams
One of the best run-stopping defensive tackles in the NFL, Poona Ford lands at 139 in our player power rankings.
138. Calen Bullock, SAF, Houston Texans
One of about 28 good Houston defensive backs, Calen Bullock is the glue that holds the Texans' secondary together.
137. Trent McDuffie, CB, Los Angeles Rams
Traded to Los Angeles this offseason, Trent McDuffie has been a stellar coverage corner his entire career.
136. Tee Higgins, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
A true "X" receiver in every sense of the world, Tee Higgins is 136th in our rankings and has struggled to stay on the field, but he's always productive when he does remain healthy.
135. Brock Bowers, TE, Las Vegas Raiders
Taking a hit after a historic rookie season, Brock Bowers is still an elite receiving threat, but he does kind of have to recalibrate and put 2025 behind him for 2026.
134. Derwin James, SAF, Los Angeles Chargers
One of the hardest-hitting defensive backs in the NFL, Derwin James keeps performing at a high level for the Chargers.
133. Peter Skoronski, OG, Tennessee Titans
Perhaps not a household name, Peter Skoronski is a great guard and figures to be a long-term presence along the Tennessee offensive line.
132. Nick Emmanwori, SAF, Seattle Seahawks
Coming in at No. 132 after a stellar rookie season, Nick Emmanwori is another hard-hitting safety and is surely expected to take an even bigger role on the Seattle defense for 2026.
131. Colton McKivitz, OT, San Francisco 49ers
Emerging as one of the better right tackles in the NFL, Colton McKivitz had a great season for San Francisco in 2025 and lands at 131 in our rankings.
130. Jaylen Waddle, WR, Denver Broncos
Jaylen Waddle is one of the fastest wide receivers in the NFL but hasn't hit 1,000 yards since the 2023 season.
129. Cam Jordan, EDGE, Free Agent
Still productive even as he approaches 40 years old, Cam Jordan may prefer to wait it out a bit longer and sign with a contender later this year.
128. Jamel Dean, CB, Pittsburgh Steelers
One of the best, most consistent cornerbacks in coverage, Jamel Dean takes the 128th spot in our rankings.
127. Kyren Williams, RB, Los Angeles Rams
Not exactly the most physically imposing player, Kyren Williams churns out 1,000-yard seasons for the Rams.
126. Tanor Bortolini, OC, Indianapolis Colts
Tanor Bortolini is one of multiple Colts' offensive linemen on our rankings. He's turned into one of the best centers in the NFL.
125. D’Andre Swift, RB, Chicago Bears
Another above-average, dual-threat running back, D'Andre Swift has been producing in this league for quite some time.
124. Brandon Aubrey, K, Dallas Cowboys
Brandon Aubrey has one of the biggest legs, perhaps in NFL history. He's also now the highest-paid kicker in the history of the league, too.
123. Javonte Williams, RB, Dallas Cowboys
Javonte Williams' first 1,000-rushing season in 2025 earned him an extension and gets him on our top-200 player list.
122. Nahshon Wright, CB, New York Jets
A legitimate, elite ball-hawk in 2025, Nahshon Wright was actually not able to land a multi-year deal in free agency.
121. Travis Jones, DT, Baltimore Ravens
Yet another underrated player, Travis Jones has been an elite run-stopper for Baltimore.
120. Vita Vea, DT, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
119. Bobby Wagner, LB, Free Agent
118. Khalil Mack, EDGE, Los Angeles Chargers
117. Josh Sweat, EDGE, Arizona Cardinals
116. Jalen Hurts, QB, Philadelphia Eagles
115. Jalen Ramsey, DB, Pittsburgh Steelers
114. Baker Mayfield, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
113. Greg Rousseau, DE, Buffalo Bills
112. Alec Pierce, WR, Indianapolis Colts
111. Azeez Al-Shaair, LB, Houston Texans
110. DK Metcalf, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers
109. Bernhard Raimann, OT, Indianapolis Colts
108. Alaric Jackson, OT, Los Angeles Rams
107. Ka’imi Fairbarin, K, Houston Texans
106. Jalen Carter, DT, Philadelphia Eagles
105. Courtland Sutton, WR, Denver Broncos
104. Travis Kelce, TE, Kansas City Chiefs
103. Talanoa Hufanga, SAF, Denver Broncos
102. Kevin Dotson, OG, Los Angeles Rams
101. Davante Adams, WR, Los Angeles Rams
Finishing out the players who just missed the cut for the top-100, we see a pair of quarterbacks in Jalen Hurts and Baker Mayfield, who are both closer to average than above-average. Other players like Greg Rousseau and Azeez Al-Shaair, for example, are 'plus' starters at their respective positions.
A pair of Broncos players in Courtland Sutton and Talanoa Hufanga make an appearance as well. Sutton is a quality "X" receiver who now gets to play alongside Waddle, and Hufanga put the injury concerns behind him, playing in every game for Denver in the 2025 season.
And at 102 and 101, we also have a pair of Rams' players in Kevin Dotson, a quality guard, and Davante Adams, a future Hall of Fame receiver who is a touchdown magnet. Adams was a perfect WR2 for the Rams' offense in 2025. Given how many quality players this league has, it's honestly a bit of a challenge figuring out who should be in the top-100, and that's where the true best of the best shine.
Let's begin the second half of our top-200 player power rankings. Which players from the first 100 have stood out the most?
100. Will Reichard, K, Minnesota Vikings
An All-Pro in 2025, Will Reichard was an outstanding kicker and absolutely deserves to be a top-100 player.
99. Jameson Williams, WR, Detroit Lions
A downfield threat and as fast as can be, Jameson Willias is one of two Lions’ receivers in our rankings.
98. Xavier McKinney, SAF, Green Bay Packers
Xavier McKinney fills up the stat sheet year after year and has been a borderline-elite player for multiple seasons now.
97. Brock Purdy, QB, San Francisco 49ers
One of the more perfectly ‘good’ players in the NFL, Brock Purdy has always handled his business, but he did miss some time in 2025.
96. TJ Watt, EDGE, Pittsburgh Steelers
Clearly on the decline, TJ Watt is still one of the better pass-rushers in the NFL, but the age is beginning to become a notable concern.
95. Demario Davis, LB, New York Jets
Age doesn’t seem to impact Demario Davis as much. He’s returned to the Jets and clearly still has another strong year, at least, on the table.
94. AJ Brown, WR, Philadelphia Eagles
Likely getting traded this offseason, AJ Brown is hitting the 10,000-yard mark in the near future and could do it with a certain team in the AFC…
93. Roquan Smith, LB, Baltimore Ravens
Maybe not quite as fast as he was earlier in his career, Roquan Smith is still one of the more well-rounded linebackers in the NFL.
92. Kenneth Walker III, RB, Kansas City Chiefs
Running his way to a Super Bowl title in 2025 and a massive free agent deal, Kenneth Walker III lands at No. 92 in our rankings.
91. Budda Baker, SAF, Arizona Cardinals
The long-time Arizona safety is still exceptional at what he does and thrives near the line of scrimmage.
90. CeeDee Lamb, WR, Dallas Cowboys
Missing some time in the regular season, CeeDee Lamb still hit the 1,000-yard mark and is an explosive, elite player.
89. Mike Jackson, CB, Carolina Panthers
A career year for Mike Jackson in 2025 with the Panthers, he manages to get inside the top-90. Jackson had four interceptions this past season.
88. Ja’Quan McMillian, CB, Denver Broncos
One of the best slot cornerbacks in the NFL and someone with a big-play mindset, Ja’Quan McMillian is a defensive back that any team would love to employ.
87. DeMarcus Lawrence, EDGE, Seattle Seahawks
Still producing in the NFL, DeMarcus Lawrence is one of many Seahawks’ players littered in our player power rankings.
86. Devin Bush, LB, Chicago Bears
Having a career year in 2025 for Cleveland, Devin Bush signed a deal with the Chicago Bears and still has some youth on his side.
85. Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Carolina Panthers
Tetairoa McMillan is a clear-cut No. 1 wide receiver in this league and could be even more productive than his stellar rookie season in 2025.
84. Josh Hines-Allen, EDGE, Jacksonville Jaguars
Josh Hines-Allen has never been a truly elite player, but he brings a steady level of production to the Jacksonville defensive line.
83. Colston Loveland, TE, Chicago Bears
Having an outstanding rookie season, Colston Loveland was a strong receiving option for the Bears, and he also offered upside as a blocker.
82. Zay Flowers, WR, Baltimore Ravens
Zay Flowers is undersized, but that hasn’t impacted his ability to be Lamar Jackson’s favorite target for Baltimore.
81. Jared Verse, EDGE, Los Angeles Rams
Jared Verse had 27 quarterback hits in 2025 for the Rams and has been a notable pass-rusher in his two years in the league so far.
80. Lane Johnson, RT, Philadelphia Eagles
It was another year with injuries for Lane Johnson. Still a future Hall of Famer, Johnson has missed a ton of games over the years but is still elite, even today.
79. Justin Herbert, QB, Los Angeles Chargers
A quarterback who has always been productive but tends to crumble in the playoffs, Justin Herbert is a special player physically, but the intangibles aren’t special.
78. Jalen Pitre, SAF, Houston Texans
One of the more versatile defensive backs in the NFL, Pitre joins a slew of other Houston defensive backs in our top-200 ranking.
77. Kevin Byard, SAF, New England Patriots
Kevin Byard had seven interceptions in 2025 and was a Pro Bowl and first-team All-Pro, signing a deal with New England this offseason.
76. Jordan Mailata, Philadelphia Eagles
Consistently a top-5 tackle in the NFL, Jordan Mailata has been the blindside protector for Philly for years now and continues to churn out great seasons.
75. Zack Baun, LB, Philadelphia Eagles
Yet another Eagle here, Zack Baun has found a home in the middle of Vic Fangio’s defense and is a top-flight inside linebacker.
74. Chris Jones, DT, Kansas City Chiefs
Chris Jones might not be quite as good as he was earlier in his career, but Jones is still a top-7 defensive tackle and a marvelous interior pass rush threat.
73. Nico Collins, WR, Houston Texans
A legitimate No.1-caliber, “X” receiver, Nico Collins really elevates that entire Houston offense, as this unit is mediocre when Collins isn’t in the game.
72. Christian Gonzalez, CB, New England Patriots
One of the very best cornerbacks in the NFL, Christian Gonzalez has the size, speed, and coverage ability to hang with the best wide receivers.
71. Derrick Henry, RB, Baltimore Ravens
Now on the wrong side of 30, Derrick Henry is running like he’s still 27 years old and may run all the way to the Hall of Fame one day.
70. Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers
Jordan Love has all the physical gifts you could ask for, but he and the Packers have been treading in ‘good not great’ waters for years now.
69. Drake London, WR, Atlanta Falcons
Another ready-made, “X” receiver, Drake London is going to make life very easy for Tua Tagovailoa, if he’s indeed the team’s starting passer.
68. Andrew Thomas, OT, New York Giants
Struggling with injuries throughout his career, Andrew Thomas has still been able to cement himself as a top tackle in the league despite not consistently staying on the field.
67. Kamari Lassiter, CB, Houston Texans
Playing opposite Derek Stingley Jr., Kamari Lassiter has 27 passes defended in just two years in the NFL.
66. Kobie Turner, DT, Los Angeles Rams
Another stellar player along the Los Angeles’ defensive line, Kobie Turner, is right in the heart of the Rams’ defense and brings pass-rush and run-stopping upside.
65. Caleb Williams, QB, Chicago Bears
Turning into one of the more clutch quarterbacks in the NFL, Caleb Williams has also kept the ball out of harm’s way in his first two seasons.
64. Chris Olave, WR, New Orleans Saints
One of the many Ohio State wide receivers who has produced in the NFL, Chris Olave has crossed the 1,000-yard mark in three of four NFL seasons.
63. Byron Young, EDGE, Los Angeles Rams
Another elite defensive lineman from the Rams, Byron Young hit 12 sacks this year and has not missed a game in the NFL.
62. Sauce Gardner, CB, New York Jets
Sauce Gardner is a top-3 cornerback in the NFL, but did get traded by the Jets during the season in a majorly shocking move.
61. Cameron Heyward, DT, Pittsburgh Steelers
Despite being old, Cameron Heyward has been a steady interior presence in Pittsburgh for more than a decade.
60. Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Philadelphia Eagles
A special cornerback, Quinyon Mitchell oddly does not have an interception in the regular season, but already has four in the playoffs.
59. Jordyn Brooks, LB, Miami Dolphins
An elite inside linebacker who is simply all over the football field, Jordyn Brooks is one of the lone bright spots of the Dolphins defense.
58. Kyle Pitts, TE, Atlanta Falcons
A true unicorn at the position, Kyle Pitts lands inside the top-60 after a bounce-back season.
57. Tyler Linderbaum, OC, Las Vegas Raiders
Making more money than many tackles, Tyler Linderbaum blew away the center market with a huge three-year deal from Las Vegas.
56. Maxx Crosby, EDGE, Las Vegas Raiders
Speaking of Las Vegas, Maxx Crosby is one of the more relentless players we’ve seen in the NFL in quite some time, and he’s darn good as well.
55. Bo Nix, QB, Denver Broncos
Turning into one of the more clutch quarterbacks in the league, Bo Nix improves his standing and creeps closer to being a top-50 player.
54. Cooper DeJean, CB, Philadelphia Eagles
Yet another Philly defensive back Cooper DeJean can really play all over the secondary and is going to have a long, productive NFL career.
53. Darnell Wright, OT, Chicago Bears
Helping shore up the Chicago offensive line this year, Darnell Wright is a mountain of a right tackle and helped cut Williams’ sack total down by over 40 from 2024 into 2025.
52. Derek Stingley Jr., CB, Houston Texans
After a shaky beginning in the NFL, Stingley has since found his groove and is the best defensive back in a loaded Houston secondary.
51. Lamar Jackson, QB, Baltimore Ravens
A year highlighted by inconsistencies and injuries. Lamar Jackson is still one of the very best quarterbacks and players in the NFL.
50. Quinnen Williams, DT, Dallas Cowboys
Coming over in a trade from the Jets, Quinnen Williams has been a strong run-stopper and pass-rush presence along the interior.
49. Trevor Lawrence, QB, Jacksonville Jaguars
Trevor Lawrence ended the 2025 season as an MVP candidate, so it’s only fair he’s high up in our rankings.
48. Jeffery Simmons, DT, Tennessee Titans
Truly playing well on a bad team in 2025, Jeffery Simmons now suddenly finds himself on a revamped defense led by a brand-new head coach
47. Aaron Brewer, OC, Miami Dolphins
Undersized even for a center, Aaron Brewer has flown under the radar as being one of the best at his position. It’s been that way for years now, too.
46. Kyle Hamilton, SAF, Baltimore Ravens
Maybe the best safety in the league and quite the versatile player and defensive back, Kyle Hamilton is now a three-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro.
45. Nik Bonitto, EDGE, Denver Broncos
Nik Bonitto’s first step might be the fastest in the NFL. He’s had a stellar past two seasons, talling nearly 30 sacks and over 50 quarterback hits.
44. Dak Prescott, QB, Dallas Cowboys
Continually among the most efficient quarterbacks in the NFL, Dak Prescott saw a great season wasted away in 2025 due to a bottom-tier defense.
43. Brian Burns, EDGE, New York Giants
Finishing with 16.5 sacks and 31 quarterback hits, Brian Burns had the best season of his NFL career and earned his third Pro Bowl nod.
42. Milton Williams, DT, New England Patriots
Signing from the Eagles last offseason, Milton Williams’ impact on the game really goes beyond the stat sheet. He played in 12 games in the regular season but helped anchor one of the league’s best units.
41. Ernest Jones IV, LB, Seattle Seahawks
In 15 games, Ernest Jones IV had five interceptions, seven passes defended, and 126 total tackles, helping Seattle win the Super Bowl in a career year.
40. Leonard Williams, DT, Seattle Seahawks
In the league since 2015, Leonard “Big Cat” Williams still produces big-time numbers, helping anchor the Seattle defensive line.
39. Chris Lindstrom, OG, Atlanta Falcons
Chris Lindstrom has been one of the best guards in the NFL for quite some time and is inside the top-40.
38. Quenton Nelson, OG, Indianapolis Colts
A future Hall of Famer, Quenton Nelson has been so good in his career that we all kind of just assume that he’ll be a Pro Bowl, All-Pro-caliber player each season.
37. Micah Parsons, EDGE, Green Bay Packers
Tearing his ACL in 2025, Micah Parsons still had a great debut season for the Packers and is right in the middle of his prime.
36. Dion Dawkins, OT, Buffalo Bills
Dion Dawkins and the Buffalo offensive line are outstanding, and Dawkins keeps racking up great seasons and Pro Bowl nods.
35. Sam Darnold, QB, Seattle Seahawks
A high-end, high-volume passer, Sam Darnold has won 28 regular season games since 2024 and is now a Super Bowl champion.
34 Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Detroit Lions
A dynamic weapon as a runner and pass-catcher, Jahmyr Gibbs may soon become the highest-paid running back in NFL history.
33. Joe Burrow, QB, Cincinnati Bengals
Struggling to stay on the field in recent years, Joe Burrow is truly a top-3 quarterback when he’s not nursing an injury.
32. Trent Williams, OT, San Francisco 49ers
A future Hall of Famer, Trent Williams has been a top-3 left tackle for nearly all of his storied NFL career.
31. Patrick Mahomes, QB, Kansas City Chiefs
Arguably an all-time great, Patrick Mahomes’ statistical production has taken a hit in recent years, but it’s hard not to still give him a great ranking.
30. Danielle Hunter, DE, Houston Texans
Consistently one of the better pass-rushers in the NFL for years now, Danielle Hunter has honestly flown under the radar dating back to his days with the Minnesota Vikings, but he’s been productive year after year.
29. Devin Lloyd, LB, Jacksonville Jaguars
Devin Lloyd signed with the Carolina Panthers in free agency after a breakout season with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2025. He’s quickly turned into one of the best linebackers in the NFL and cracks the top-30 in our player rankings.
28. De’Von Achane, RB, Miami Dolphins
One of the more fun, explosive players in the NFL, De’Von Achane is an elite threat as a runner and a pass-catcher. Achane earned his first Pro Bowl nod in 2025 and is in line for a huge extension from Miami, or another team if a trade happens.
27. Aidan Hutchinson, DE, Detroit Lions
Aidan Hutchinson is one of the best rushers in the NFL and did play in all 17 games for the Lions, coming off that major knee injury he suffered in 2024. Hutchinson finished with a career-best 14.5 sacks and 35 quarterback hits.
26. Patrick Surtain II, CB, Denver Broncos
The 2024 Defensive Player of the Year, Patrick Surtain II was still elite for the Broncos in 2025. He’s the glue that holds this defense together.
25. Joe Thuney, OG, Chicago Bears
The winner of the NFL’s first Protector of the Year, Joe Thuney is now on his third team but continues to stack insane seasons, with a future bust in Canton waiting for him one day.
24. Tristan Wirfs, OT, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Despite playing in just 12 games in 2025, Tristan Wirfs still makes an appearance in our power rankings. He’s been a top-3 tackle in the NFL for years now and did earn a Pro Bowl in 2025.
23. George Pickens, WR, Dallas Cowboys
George Pickens had the best season of his career, and with solid quarterback play, flirted with 1,500 yards. Pickens was a Pro Bowler and a second-team All-Pro in a breakout season in 2025.
22. Josh Allen, QB, Buffalo Bills
Josh Allen, the 2024 NFL MVP, comes in at No. 22 in our power rankings. He actually wasn’t asked to do a whole lot this past season because of how good the run game was, but this is still Josh Allen we’re talking about here…
21. Justin Jefferson, WR, Minnesota Vikings
Despite dealing with bad quarterback play in 2025, Justin Jefferson was still able to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark. Jefferson is on a Hall of Fame pace and may get back to his highly-productive ways with Kyler Murray in the picture.
20. Jack Campbell, LB, Detroit Lions
A Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro in 2025, Jack Campbell finished with five sacks and 176 total tackles for the Lions. He’s also never missed a regular-season game, either.
19. Jared Goff, QB, Detroit Lions
One of the most prolific quarterbacks in the NFL, Jared Goff being a pure pocket passer actually may hurt him in top quarterback discussions, as he isn’t flashy, but he’s thrown no fewer than 29 touchdowns through the air in each of the previous four seasons.
18. Zach Allen, DE, Denver Broncos
Zach Allen has led the NFL in quarterback hits in each of the last two seasons, which is rather incredible for an interior rusher. He’s got 87, to be exact, and now has a first-team All-Pro to add to his accomplishments.
17. Will Anderson, DE, Houston Texans
Recently inking a massive extension, Will Anderson is a huge reason why the Texans defense is as good as it is. He’s just inside the top-20 in our player rankings for 2026.
16. Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, Detroit Lions
A four-time Pro Bowler with four 1,000-yard seasons in a row, Amon-Ra St. Brown is an elite player and has caught nearly 74 percent of his career targets.
15. Ja’Marr Chase, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
Ja’Marr Chase is a special wide receiver and can win in a ton of ways. Whether it’s route-running or separation due to physical toughness, Chase’s five Pro Bowls and two All-Pros backup his high level of play.
14. Quinn Meinerz, OG, Denver Broncos
It’s two-straight first-team All-Pros for Quinn Meinerz, a former third-round pick and now the clear-cut best guard in the NFL. Despite being a first-team All-Pro in 2024, Meinerz was oddly not named to the Pro Bowl.
13. Trey McBride, TE, Arizona Cardinals
Trey McBride is a special player at tight end. Landing as the top-ranked tight end in our rankings, McBride is just outside the top-10 and should continue being a focal point of the Arizona offense.
12. Creed Humphrey, OC, Kansas City Chiefs
The league’s best center, it didn’t take long for Creed Humphrey to cement himself as such. He has not missed a single game and has been a Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro for two-straight seasons.
11. Garett Bolles, OT, Denver Broncos
Garett Bolles keeps getting better with age. The Broncos left tackle earned Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors in his age-33 season. He’s one of the very best in the NFL at what he does, and protecting the quarterback’s blindside is one of the more important jobs in all of sports.
10. James Cook, RB, Buffalo Bills
James Cook led the NFL in rushing touchdowns last year, and led the NFL in rushing yards this year. Cook played the best football of his career in 2025 and manages to land at No. 10 in our power rankings.
9. Christian McCaffrey, RB, San Francisco 49ers
Leading the NFL with 413 touches, and eclipsing 2,000 scrimmage yards, McCaffrey was the majority of the 49ers offense this year. Despite not being super efficient on the ground, he still averaged over five yards per touch.
8. Jonathan Taylor, RB, Indianapolis Colts
Jonathan Taylor is the best pure runner in the NFL, and he proved that further in 2025 with the Colts. Taylor has battled injuries throughout his career, but when he’s on the field, there are few who are as productive.
7. Drake Maye, QB, New England Patriots
Drake Maye finished second in MVP voting and had just four games in the regular season below a 100 passer rating. Sure, the schedule was easy, but New England’s signal-caller was truly elite.
6. Penei Sewell, OT, Detroit Lions
Penei Sewell is going to kick back over to left tackle with the Lions having drafted Blake Miller. He’s been an All-Pro before and will continue to be an All-Pro. Sewell is already on a Hall of Fame pace through the first five years of his career.
5. Puka Nacua, WR, Los Angeles Rams
Puka Nacua looked like he was playing a different game this year. Cementing himself as one of the best players in the NFL, Nacua helped lead the charge for a high-flying Rams offense.
4. Bijan Robinson, RB, Atlanta Falcons
Leading the league in scrimmage yards, Bijan Robinson is more than a running back and is likely landing a massive contract extension soon. Only set to play in his age-24 season, Robinson may have another five-plus years of high-level play left.
3. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Seattle Seahawks
Leading the NFL in receiving yards, and making the Pro Bowl, along with being a first-team All-Pro and Offensive Player of the Year, Jaxon Smith-Njigba lands at No. 3 in our power rankings, helping the Seahawks win the Super Bowl.
2. Matthew Stafford, QB, Los Angeles Rams
Matthew Stafford won the MVP award in 2025 and flirted with 50 touchdown passes. Leading the league in yards and touchdowns, Stafford and the Rams were trending toward winning the Super Bowl, but a regressing defense had other plans, unfortunately.
1. Myles Garrett, DE, Cleveland Browns
It feels rather impossible not ranking Myles Garrett first on our list. After setting the single-season sack record and winning the Defensive Player of the Year, Garrett’s utter dominance gets him to the top of our top 200 player rankings.
