1. Kansas City Chiefs (4-0)
Previous rank: 2
Kenneth Walker: The former Seahawks running back has taken his game to another level in Kansas City, setting a Chiefs record for most rushing yards through four games (537). He also leads the NFL with 621 scrimmage yards.
2. San Francisco 49ers (4-0)
Previous rank: 3
Deebo Samuel: Samuel's reunion with the 49ers has exceeded expectations at this point in the 30-year-old's career. The former All-Pro wideout has stepped up as a solid dual-threat option, helping San Francisco's offense stay hot through a rash of injuries. Samuel has already scored three touchdowns, and his 259 scrimmage yards rank second on the team.
3. Baltimore Ravens (3-1)
Previous rank: 4
Vega Ioane: The Ravens should feel great about using their first-round pick on Ioane in April. He impressed at right guard over the first three weeks, then stood out in Week 4 at center, where he didn't allow a single pressure in nine matchups against All-Pro defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons, per Next Gen Stats.
4. Buffalo Bills (3-1)
Previous rank: 1
DJ Moore: The wideout has been in and out of the lineup because of a shoulder injury, but he's been the go-to guy in the passing game when healthy. Moore has made plays for the Bills at all three levels, highlighted by a 43-yard touchdown against the Texans in the season opener.
5. Seattle Seahawks (3-1)
Previous rank: 5
Brian Fleury: Seattle brought Fleury from San Francisco, and he had big shoes to fill as offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak's replacement. So far, so good for Fleury, who's kept the Seahawks' offense sharp by making few changes. The team's 2026 offensive numbers after the first four weeks are almost identical to last year.
6. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-1)
Previous rank: 9
Chris Rodriguez: The former Commanders running back has done a solid job as the No. 2 guy behind Bhayshul Tuten in the Jaguars' backfield. Although Rodriguez has recorded only 26 carries, he's turned them into 108 yards, eight first downs, and two touchdowns, including a 25-yard score that gave Jacksonville a two-possession lead during Sunday's win over Cincinnati.
7. Minnesota Vikings (4-0)
Previous rank: 7
Kyle Van Noy: At 35, Van Noy is still making plays. The sack totals aren't always there, but Van Noy has a knack for coming up big in key moments, plus he's always defended the run well from the edge position. The Vikings have limited his snaps, and that should help keep Van Noy's veteran legs fresh as the season progresses.
8. Chicago Bears (3-1)
Previous rank: 8
Dillon Thieneman: The first-round rookie safety has led the Bears in tackles in each game this season. Thieneman is also tied for a team high in interceptions (one) and pass breakups (three), all while playing every defensive snap for Chicago in 2026.
9. Denver Broncos (2-2)
Previous rank: 6
Jaylen Waddle: Waddle was the Broncos' lone meaningful offseason addition, so he essentially wins this race uncontested. However, it hasn't all been smooth sailing, as Waddle has been quiet in three of four games. Then again, Denver's entire offense has been tamed for much of the campaign.
10. Los Angeles Rams (2-2)
Previous rank: 11
Trent McDuffie: Myles Garrett hasn't made his mark yet, and Aaron Donald is still ramping up, but McDuffie is in the early conversation for Defensive Player of the Year. The former Chief has allowed a 26.7% completion percentage in coverage this season, the lowest mark among cornerbacks with at least 10 targets, per Next Gen Stats.
11. Philadelphia Eagles (2-2)
Previous rank: 10
Dontayvion Wicks: The Packers' castoff has emerged as Philadelphia's No. 2 receiver, with Wicks and DeVonta Smith the only Eagles pass-catchers to exceed 100 yards for the season. Wicks has cooled off after posting 147 yards and a touchdown in the first two games, so the Eagles must find a way to get him going again.
12. New England Patriots (2-2)
Previous rank: 15
Dre'Mont Jones: A.J. Brown has been injured, and Romeo Doubs has struggled with inconsistency, while Jones has been flourishing. The edge defender has 12 pressures in three games, putting him on pace for a career-high 64 pressures. Last season, Jones set a personal best with 51 while splitting time with the Titans and Ravens.
13. Cincinnati Bengals (2-2)
Previous rank: 12
Dexter Lawrence: Bengals fans needed only four games to see how dominant Lawrence can be. The offseason trade acquisition remains a stud in run defense, and his 15 pressures rank fourth among all defensive linemen, per PFF. Lawrence also leads Cincinnati with three sacks.
14. New York Giants (3-1)
Previous rank: 17
John Harbaugh: You have to hand it to the new coach, who's won two of three games with a backup quarterback in a pressure-cooker market desperate for a winning season. Jaxson Dart's injury may catch up eventually, but Harbaugh seems to have gained some real traction with this team.
15. Las Vegas Raiders (3-1)
Previous rank: 14
Klint Kubiak: Despite Sunday's loss to Kansas City, Las Vegas keeps punching above its weight. The Raiders have already matched their 2025 win total, and Kubiak deserves a ton of credit for that. The first-year coach has maximized the potential of several players, including quarterback Kirk Cousins, another solid offseason addition.
16. Dallas Cowboys (2-2)
Previous rank: 18
Caleb Downs: The Ohio State product has come as advertised, collecting 29 tackles, three forced fumbles, a sack, and a pass breakup through his first four games. The Cowboys have deployed him primarily in the box and in the slot, but despite his contributions, Dallas' defense has been weak.
17. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-2)
Previous rank: 16
Max Iheanachor: Though the rookie right tackle has shown he can handle the NFL's physicality, he's hit some speed bumps in his first few weeks. Notably, Iheanachor had a rough game last week against the Browns, who sacked Aaron Rodgers five times.
18. Indianapolis Colts (2-2)
Previous rank: 21
Akeem Davis-Gaither: Inside linebackers can sometimes go unnoticed, but every team needs a tackle machine, and Davis-Gaither has been just that for Indianapolis. The former Cardinal and Bengal has 37 tackles and 20 solos, both team highs. The Colts line him up in the box, and he meets the runner in the hole.
19. Cleveland Browns (3-1)
Previous rank: 24
Denzel Boston: While first-round pick KC Concepcion had the preseason buzz, second-round receiver Boston has the regular-season numbers. Boston leads all Browns pass-catchers with 284 yards despite trailing Concepcion and Harold Fannin Jr. in targets. He's also produced at least one 40-yard reception in three of the first four games.
20. Carolina Panthers (2-2)
Previous rank: 25
Devin Lloyd: The linebacker has been everything the Panthers hoped for when they signed him to a three-year deal in free agency, making plays on both sides of the line of scrimmage. Lloyd has already recorded three tackles for loss and two interceptions, one of which he ran back for a touchdown.
21. Atlanta Falcons (2-2)
Previous rank: 26
Gervon Dexter Sr.: One of the NFL's most underrated defensive tackles, Dexter has boosted a Falcons defensive line playing without edge rushers Jalon Walker and James Pearce Jr. Atlanta acquired Dexter from the Bears in the preseason and wisely gave him a four-year, $78-million extension at the end of September.
22. Detroit Lions (2-2)
Previous rank: 13
Juice Scruggs: After bouncing around the interior of the offensive line in Houston, Scruggs appears to have found a home at center in Detroit. The fourth-year pro has solidified a position that gave the Lions fits last year, to the point that Frank Ragnow was ready to come out of retirement.
23. Green Bay Packers (2-2)
Previous rank: 23
Skyy Moore: It hasn't been a great start for Packers newcomers, but Moore has at least been valuable as a special-teams returner. He ranks in the top 10 in both kickoff return yardage and punt return yardage, giving Green Bay a much-needed weapon in the third phase of the game.
24. New Orleans Saints (1-3)
Previous rank: 19
David Edwards: The Saints' interior offensive line has emerged as a major strength, led by their new left guard. Edwards came over from the Bills in free agency and hasn't allowed a sack or taken a penalty. That's exactly what New Orleans envisioned when it signed him to a four-year, $61-million deal.
25. Washington Commanders (1-3)
Previous rank: 20
Amik Robertson: With the Commanders still waiting for Odafe Oweh and K'Lavon Chaisson to heat up on the edges, Robertson has arguably emerged as the team's top defensive performer. He's tied for the league lead with seven pass breakups and ranks among the best in separation allowed.
26. Houston Texans (0-4)
Previous rank: 22
Kai Kroeger: You know things aren't going well when your best offseason acquisition is ... a punter. Traded from the Saints to the Texans in March, Kroeger has been solid this season, ranking top 10 in average yards per punt (49.1).
27. Arizona Cardinals (1-3)
Previous rank: 27
Jeremiyah Love: Although Love hasn't made the impact we expected, the No. 3 overall pick is still Arizona's best newcomer. The rookie running back leads the Cardinals in touches (66), scrimmage yards (259), and total touchdowns (tied with two).
28. Los Angeles Chargers (0-4)
Previous rank: 28
Genesis Smith: The fourth-round rookie safety hasn't started yet, but his two-interception game against the Bills' Josh Allen in Week 3 has been the highlight of the Chargers' season. Smith's snap percentage has climbed every week, reaching 65% in Week 4.
29. New York Jets (1-3)
Previous rank: 29
Minkah Fitzpatrick: Geno Smith is playing well at quarterback, but Fitzpatrick has been an equally nice story on defense. The veteran safety recorded the Jets' first interception in 21 games and has allowed only three receptions all year.
30. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-4)
Previous rank: 30
Josiah Trotter: While Alex Anzalone struggles beside him, Trotter is emerging as the Buccaneers' top off-ball linebacker. The rookie second-rounder already has two tackles for loss, a sack, and a pick-6 to go with his team-high 34 tackles across three appearances.
31. Tennessee Titans (0-4)
Previous rank: 31
Carnell Tate: After an unproductive preseason and slow start to the regular season, Tate has come on strong over the last two weeks. The No. 4 overall pick is still searching for his first career touchdown, but he ranks 15th in receiving yards with 268, buoyed by his breakout 100-yard game in Week 4 against the Ravens.
32. Miami Dolphins (0-4)
Previous rank: 32
Jacob Rodriguez: The second-round rookie linebacker has brought energy to the Dolphins' defense, quickly emerging as a tackling machine (his 46 tackles rank second in the NFL) and an all-around playmaker who should help accelerate Miami's rebuild.
