It’s finally here! The much anticipated NFL regular season has begun, and, to put it lightly, a lot happened. You’re going to see tons of hot takes this week, so I want to stress something important: don’t overreact. It’s just 1 game. Sure, that one game could have ramifications down the line in terms of…
The moment we’ve been waiting for is finally upon us. The Bills and Rams will kick off the 2022 season on Thursday in a much-anticipated matchup, but before that happens, I thought I’d take a look at where the various teams stand on opening week. You’ve probably seen power rankings before, and these are just…
I’ll be posting my first power rankings tomorrow morning, but before we get to them, I wanted to step back and take a look at the league as a whole. What can we expect to happen this year? Will past trends re-emerge, or will new ones begin? Can 2021 provide any hints regarding what will…
I told you we’d get to quarterbacks. Had to save the best for last right? No position is more important in the NFL or perhaps in all of sports. I know I’ve kept you waiting long enough, so here are the top 10 quarterbacks heading into 2022! 1. Aaron Rodgers, Packers Two-time reigning MVP. 37/4…
Today we’re checking out our last special teams group: the top 10 returners for the 2022 season. For these rankings, both kick returners and punt returners will be evaluated. Neither type of returner will be favored over the other, but a player who does both might get a few brownie points. As we discussed in…
Punters are people too! Welcome to the second specialist position review of the week. I decided to do kickers and punters together because they have a lot in common. They’re the only ones at their position on a team, and both positions are constantly overlooked despite having great impacts on the game. Therefore, in this…
We have a duo of special teams rankings this week! This first article details the top 10 kickers for the 2022 season, and the punter article will be posted shortly. Kickers are not given a lot of attention unless they do something crazy good or miss an important field goal. This is foolish; if you…
Our last defensive position group has arrived, and it’s the top 10 safeties in advance of the 2022 season. Each player is listed as a strong safety (SS) or a free safety (FS) based on where he played the majority of his snaps in 2021. Free safeties are typically coverage-oriented, while strong safeties spend a…
If wide receivers are suddenly super valuable, then the guys who cover them (AKA cornerbacks) must also be really important right? In that case, let’s look at the top 10 CBs for 2022. All of these players are outside corners because they’re typically more coveted than slot corners (though a couple of these guys can…
For our last non-QB offensive position group, we’re going to look at the guys who get overlooked more than anyone else: guards and centers. The top 10 interior offensive linemen that you see below typically get rewarded in Pro Bowl nods, All Pro selections, and holiday gifts from their QBs; their annual salaries and especially…
