Patrick's NFL offensive line (OL) rankings heading into Week 3 of 2025. He identifies fantasy football offenses to target, and the best/worst O-Lines for fantasy production.
The offensive line isn't glamorous, but it's the hinge that swings every fantasy outcome. You can spend all summer debating target shares, red-zone roles, or whether a quarterback is ready to take the next step, but none of that matters if five guys up front stumble out of the blocks.
Holes don't open, deep routes never develop, and the best-laid game plans shrivel the second a guard gets forklifted into his quarterback's lap.
This space exists as a weekly pulse check on all 32 units. Every week, the trenches become a battleground. Injuries mount, chemistry develops, matchups dictate offensive approaches, and we'll be here to track who's climbing, who's crumbling, and what it means for your fantasy roster.

Tier 6 – Wet Tissue Paper
32. Cincinnati Bengals (Last Week: 32)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Orlando Brown Jr., LG Dylan Fairchild, C Ted Karras, RG Dalton Risner, RT Amarius Mims
For years, the Bengals have tempted fate by leaving one of the league's premier quarterbacks behind a calamity of an offensive line, and in Week 2, the inevitable happened again. A second-quarter sack led to a Grade 3 turf toe injury that will sideline Burrow for at least three months.

— Cleveland Browns (@Browns) September 7, 2025
Jake Browning steps in to take his place, and while he's had some success running this offense in the past, he did that with at least the semblance of protection in front of him.
Through two weeks, Chase Brown has slogged his way to 90 yards on 37 carries, with a nearly unbelievable five of those yards coming before contact. With no running game to get them out of tight spots and a backup quarterback playing behind a leaky offensive line, expectations should be tempered for Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
31. Miami Dolphins (Last Week: 29)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Patrick Paul, LG Jonah Savaiinaea, C Aaron Brewer, RG Kion Smith, RT Larry Borom
The Dolphins' injury-ravaged line continues to unravel. With James Daniels on IR and Austin Jackson sidelined, the patchwork pairing of Kion Smith and Larry Borom was exposed on the right side, surrendering the game-clinching sack to Milton Williams on a stunt that saw him split the pair. Patrick Paul added a false start on a crucial two-point attempt, emblematic of the lack of cohesion.
Miami mustered just 61 rushing yards on Sunday, with nearly a third coming on a Malik Washington end-around, leaving the backfield stuck in neutral. De'Von Achane will get his through the passing game, but he's currently the only Dolphins player who can reliably be trusted to emerge from Miami's weekly catastrophe with points.
30. New York Giants (Last Week: 28)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Marcus Mbow, LG Jon Runyan, C John Michael Schmitz Jr., RG Greg Van Roten, RT Jermaine Eluemunor
If last week was a warning, Week 2 was an indictment. James Hudson III is the early frontrunner for the single worst offensive line performance of the season: one sack allowed and four flags, all on 16 snaps. Benched before the conclusion of the first quarter, he watched the rest of the Giants' shootout from the sideline.
Cam Skattebo gave the team its first rushing touchdown of 2025, but Giants backs have still totaled just 94 yards at a 2.9-yard per carry clip that leaves much to be desired. Russell Wilson's mobility kept the passing game alive for one week, but Malik Nabers remains the only weekly must-start.
29. Houston Texans (Last Week: 31)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Aireontae Ersery, LG Laken Tomlinson, C Jarrett Patterson, RG Ed Ingram, RT Tytus Howard
Houston shuffled back toward normalcy in Week 2 with Ed Ingram returning at right guard, allowing the rest of the line to move back to their natural positions. Unfortunately, they don't look all that comfortable playing those either.
Aireontae Ersery kicked over to left tackle, Tytus Howard moved outside, and the results were nearly as messy as last week. C.J. Stroud absorbed three sacks, while Jarrett Patterson, filling in for injured center Jake Andrews, was predictably not the solution against Vita Vea in the run game.
After banging heads against the stout interiors of the Rams and Buccaneers, Houston faces Jacksonville in Week 3. If the Texans' offensive engine can't get humming in their first divisional matchup, the panic alarms will be deafening.
Tier 5 – Cardboard and Twine
28. Pittsburgh Steelers (Last Week: 24)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Broderick Jones, LG Isaac Seumalo, C Zach Frazier, RG Mason McCormick, RT Troy Fautanu
Aaron Rodgers built a Hall-of-Fame career by working off-schedule. These days, if pressure gets through to him, it generally results in a sack.
His 30.4% pressure-to-sack rate trails only Tua Tagovailoa, J.J. McCarthy, Mac Jones, and Cam Ward, a troubling sign with the Patriots' disruptive interior duo of Christian Barmore and Milton Williams next on the schedule. Mix in a rejuvenated Harold Landry and his league-leading 3.5 sacks, and Rodgers may not spend much time upright in this one.
The ground game isn't bailing anyone out either. Pittsburgh is bottom-3 in rushing yards and yards per carry, while the Patriots' defense finds itself top-3 in those same categories. All non-Metcalf Steelers can be sat in what's unlikely to become a fantasy bonanza.
27. Seattle Seahawks (Last Week: 26)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Charles Cross, LG Grey Zabel, C Jalen Sundell, RG Anthony Bradford, RT Abraham Lucas
Seattle’s offensive line is going to need to improve for this team to sniff playoff contention. Grey Zabel was tagged with three QB hits allowed, and a botched slide protection gifted Cameron Heyward a free run at Sam Darnold that turned into a pick. For the second straight week, this unit surrendered a late sack in a one-score game, though this one didn't prove to be as costly.
The unbottled athleticism of Kenneth Walker III was able to mask some of the same run blocking concerns that showed up last week, with 61 of his 105 yards coming after contact. For Zach Charbonnet, it was much tougher sledding as Seattle continues to push for an identity that fits them like their granddad's suit. He ran for only 10 yards on 15 carries, a symptom of a line that is routinely allowing defenders to set up camp in the backfield.
26. Cleveland Browns (Last Week: 30)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Dawand Jones, LG Joel Bitonio, C Ethan Pocic, RG Wyatt Teller, RT Cornelius Lucas
After exiting Week 1 with what was called an eye injury, starting right tackle Jack Conklin was held out of Sunday's game with an elbow injury.
In his place, Cornelius Lucas and the rest of the line were able to generate some push in the run game that was lacking last week. However, Quinshon Judkins apparently has the ability to make the line in front of him look better than it actually is, forcing two missed tackles on his ten carries and collecting 57 of his 61 yards after contact.
After yielding 20 pressures in Week 1, Cleveland trimmed that number to 15. Dawand Jones missed significant snaps due to heat exhaustion, and with Micah Parsons and the Packers on deck in Week 3, the heat is about to get dialed back up.
25. Las Vegas Raiders (Last Week: 23)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Kolton Miller, LG Dylan Parham, C Jordan Meredith, RG Alex Cappa, RT DJ Glaze
The Raiders' depth issues were tough to hide with Jackson Powers-Johnson sidelined by a concussion. In stepped Alex Cappa, immediately showing why the 32nd-ranked Cincinnati Bengals felt comfortable letting him walk, allowing four pressures and a sack in what Raiders fans are surely hoping will be his only start of the season.
Through two weeks, rookie Ashton Jeanty has posted negative three yards before first contact -- a brutal stat that underscores why bad teams should never spend early draft picks on a running back. Fantasy managers who followed suit are already feeling the burn.
24. New England Patriots (Last Week: 27)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Will Campbell, LG Jared Wilson, C Garrett Bradbury, RG Mike Onwenu, RT Morgan Moses
The kids are alright. Will Campbell and Jared Wilson both graded among PFF's top four rookie pass protectors in Week 2, a promising sign for the long-term rebuild.
.@Patriots @MiamiDolphins @will_campbell66 had himself a good win in SoFla..Lits of rookies making contributions. Will Will ( 😜😜😜) see some good rushers this week v @steelers #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/e4NBAeBxBJ
— Brian Baldinger (@BaldyNFL) September 17, 2025
Unfortunately, the veterans weren't as sharp. Morgan Moses drew three false starts, and Garrett Bradbury rolled an errant snap into Drake Maye's ankles at a pivotal moment.
Through two weeks, this line has been flagged eight times while allowing seven sacks, both bottom-tier marks. On the bright side, New England rushed for 122 yards on Sunday, giving their offense at least a blueprint for how to keep Maye afloat as he grows more comfortable in Josh McDaniels' offense.
23. Tennessee Titans (Last Week: 25)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Dan Moore Jr., LG Peter Skoronski, C Lloyd Cushenberry III, RG Kevin Zeitler, RT John Ojukwu
Injuries have started to erode the Titans' line. With JC Latham out, John Ojukwu was overwhelmed at right tackle, giving up two sacks on five pressures. Next to him, Kevin Zeitler exited with an elbow issue, forcing Blake Hance into action, and onto the stat sheet with a pressure allowed and a false start in just 16 snaps.
What the Titans have been able to do on the ground at least keeps this unit out of the basement. 180 rushing yards over two weeks, despite a lack of consistently positive game scripts, is at least functional, keeping Tony Pollard managers from panicking. Still, if the right side continues to deteriorate, rookie Ward may not last long enough to bring fantasy relevance back to Nashville.
22. Dallas Cowboys (Last Week: 22)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Tyler Guyton, LG Tyler Smith, C Cooper Beebe, RG Tyler Booker, RT Terence Steele
Week 2 brought fireworks against the Giants, but Dak Prescott didn't get through unscathed. He faced pressure on 20 of 57 dropbacks, taking four sacks after a clean opener in Week 1.
For fantasy managers, Dak's efforts while under duress have been impressive, but history reminds us that heavy pressure is a dangerous formula for a quarterback with two major injuries in his last three seasons.
The run game has exceeded expectations through two weeks, racking up 250+ yards at over five yards per carry, but sustaining that without center Cooper Beebe, who is expected to miss extended time with a high ankle sprain, will be a test.
Tier 4 - Bubblegum and Duct Tape
21. New Orleans Saints (Last Week: 21)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Kelvin Banks Jr., LG Dillon Radunz, C Erik McCoy, RG Cesar Ruiz, RT Taliese Fuaga
Spencer Rattler has been staying busy. His 89 dropbacks through two weeks are near the top of the league. Unfortunately, so are the 30 total pressures he's faced, resulting in an average depth of target of only 7.4 yards, which is 26th in the league.
That's led to safe floors for Alvin Kamara, Chris Olave, and Juwan Johnson, who have been soaking up targets, but frankly, the Saints don't have the talent on offense to reliably dink and dunk their way down the field on long drives. After two weeks, New Orleans ranks in the bottom seven in scoring, despite being in the top eight in plays run.
Unless protection improves and allows for deeper shots downfield, fantasy managers should expect usable PPR outputs but few ceiling weeks from anyone wearing a fleur-de-lis.
20. Washington Commanders (Last Week: 19)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Laremy Tunsil, LG Brandon Coleman, C Tyler Biadasz, RG Nick Allegretti, RT Josh Conerly Jr.
We could see a season-long trend of Green Bay's latest opponent taking a tumble in the rankings, but the Commanders' offensive line did themselves no favors on Thursday night.
Josh Conerly Jr.'s baptism by fire has been hard to watch, giving up three sacks and an additional QB hit on nine pressures allowed, while adding a holding penalty that was declined.
Brandon Coleman briefly exited with a shoulder scare, further exposing a unit already missing Sam Cosmi inside.
After opening holes for a stratospheric 8.2 yards per carry out of Jacory Croskey-Merritt in Week 1, the running game as a whole returned to a subterranean 2.7 yards per attempt against the Packers. Now, Austin Ekeler's Achilles injury removes one of their more dynamic weapons in space, making it all the more important for this line to manufacture room with which to work.
19. Carolina Panthers (Last Week: 14)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Ikem Ekwonu, LG Damien Lewis, C Austin Corbett, RG Robert Hunt, RT Taylor Moton
Ikem Ekwonu's return from an appendectomy was supposed to stabilize the Panthers' front. Instead, he looked like a guy missing a piece of himself, coughing up eight pressures and two QB hits. The real gut punch, though, was attrition inside, as starters Austin Corbett and Robert Hunt both exited and have since landed on IR.
Hunt's bicep surgery ends his season, while Corbett could face a similar fate if surgery is elected to repair his Grade 3 MCL tear. That leaves Carolina staring at a long stretch with a patched-up interior, coming off a game that saw them rush for 49 yards on 19 carries.
Bryce Young showed signs late in 2024 that he could drive this offense, but without stability inside, his development, along with his fantasy upside, may stall out.
18. Arizona Cardinals (Last Week: 17)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Paris Johnson Jr., LG Evan Brown, C Hjalte Froholdt, RG Isaiah Adams, RT Jonah Williams
Kyler Murray's six sacks through two games look ugly at a glance, but PFF has credited zero of them to his offensive line. In fact, Murray has faced the seventh-fewest pressures of any qualified quarterback, so the passing-game hiccups are rather squarely on his shoulders.
The bigger concern is the run game. Arizona's stubborn devotion to gap schemes doesn't match its personnel. Against a Panthers defense that has looked lost for two years, James Conner and Trey Benson combined for just 48 rushing yards. Week 1's fleeting success came via scrambles and one long zone run, yet the Cardinals doubled down with a 14-to-3 man-to-zone split.
Unless philosophical changes come soon, this unit will quickly grow tired of sticking to a plan that flat-out doesn't work while their quarterback wastes clean pockets behind them.
17. Kansas City Chiefs (Last Week: 18)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Josh Simmons, LG Kingsley Suamataia, C Creed Humphrey, RG Trey Smith, RT Jawaan Taylor
For all their dominance in the Mahomes era, this year's Chiefs team has looked startlingly ordinary, and nowhere has that been more true than along the offensive line.
The running game has been difficult to gauge, as they've only attempted 29 running back carries through two weeks, but when called upon in Sunday's Super Bowl rematch with the Eagles, the group did not deliver. They were stuffed on fourth down in their own territory to start the second half of what was at the time a tied game, flipping momentum for good.
This play call on 4th down from the Chiefs 🤔pic.twitter.com/boXtNfedFO
— Pikkit (@pikkitsports) September 14, 2025
Rookie Josh Simmons has arguably been their steadiest lineman so far, even with a second-quarter exit due to dehydration. With Creed Humphrey and Trey Smith anchoring the interior, there's no reason this group should look so average, but right now, that's exactly what they are.
Tier 3 - Plywood and Nails
16. New York Jets (Last Week: 10)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Olumuyiwa Fashanu, LG John Simpson, C Josh Myers, RG Joe Tippmann, RT Armand Membou
Buffalo's defensive front looked helpless against Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson in Week 1, but they made up for it by ruining the Jets' day in Week 2. Breece Hall was bottled to just 29 yards on 10 carries, and both Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor spent the day running for cover.
Fields took seven pressures and two sacks on just 15 dropbacks before leaving with a concussion, while Taylor stepped in and promptly saw 11 pressures and two sacks of his own on 16 dropbacks.
With Fields already ruled out for Week 3, the Jets' line will be asked to get things back on track against Tampa Bay's interior clog machine, Vea. Fantasy managers in non-PPR formats could consider giving Hall the day off should they have similar options in more favorable matchups.
15. Los Angeles Chargers (Last Week: 15)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Joe Alt, LG Zion Johnson, C Bradley Bozeman, RG Mekhi Becton, RT Trey Pipkins III
Two games into the season, second-year tackle Joe Alt is looking like a Pro Bowl lock, surrendering only one pressure on his 76 pass block sets.
Joe Alt is a BADASS, man! Look at this tape! pic.twitter.com/OKmrTLm6AN https://t.co/Fqkr8kHkvp
— Jon Gruden (@BarstoolGruden) September 15, 2025
This unit finds itself in the middle of the pack, though, with the running game having taken a backseat to Justin Herbert's arm. The Chargers have thrown at the league's highest rate above expectation, and Omarion Hampton sits only nine yards ahead of Herbert on the ground through two weeks.
With zero rushing touchdowns to speak of, if this philosophical shift is here to stay, Hampton managers could be feeling a season-long headache.
14. Jacksonville Jaguars (Last Week: 20)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Walker Little, LG Ezra Cleveland, C Robert Hainsey, RG Patrick Mekari, RT Anton Harrison
The Jaguars' offensive line has gone from a weak link on paper to shockingly strong in just two weeks. Against the Bills, they gave Trevor Lawrence a clean pocket on the majority of his 45 dropbacks, surrendering only one sack all afternoon.
On the ground, they've been even better. Jacksonville leads the league in rushing yards (339) and yards per carry (5.8). Some of that efficiency may prove unsustainable, but Travis Etienne Jr. has looked untouchable, and the Jags are one of the few teams in football that can dictate pace either through the air or on the ground. If they keep this up, they'll leap from surprise story to legitimate top-10 unit.
13. Minnesota Vikings (Last Week: 5)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Justin Skule, LG Donovan Jackson, C Michael Jurgens, RG Will Fries, RT Brian O'Neill
The Vikings are this week's biggest fallers after an ugly performance in primetime. Losing center Ryan Kelly to a concussion turned things chaotic quickly. Without their protection caller, the line was out of sync against Atlanta's exotic fronts, giving up five sacks and stumbling to just 78 rushing yards.
Justin Skule, filling in for Christian Darrisaw, was exposed yet again, while McCarthy and Aaron Jones Sr. both went down with injuries. With their stars sidelined, Minnesota badly needs Darrisaw's return to stabilize the left side and open lanes for a heavy dose of Jordan Mason. Until then, this line is creeping closer to liability than the strength it looked like just a week ago.
12. Chicago Bears (Last Week: 12)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Braxton Jones, LG Joe Thuney, C Drew Dalman, RG Jonah Jackson, RT Darnell Wright
It's been pointed out many times that the Bears spent lavishly to rebuild their offensive line, but the returns have been lukewarm at best through two weeks. Caleb Williams has been sacked six times already, including four more against Detroit, and he continues to absorb punishment outside the pocket.
The ground game looked solid in Week 2, with Darnell Wright standing out in his efforts to clear space to the tune of 134 yards on 27 carries.
Week 3 against Dallas could be a reprieve, as the Cowboys are so desperate for pass-rush help they just pulled Jadeveon Clowney off the street. If Williams can take a breath and get through this week clean, the unit could offer the return on investment desperately needed to keep pace in a loaded division.
11. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Last Week: 8)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Graham Barton, LG Michael Jordan, C Ben Bredeson, RG Cody Mauch, RT Charlie Heck
Tristan Wirfs returned to practice this week, and the Buccaneers surely would have loved to see him take the field against Houston's nigh-unstoppable combo of Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter. The duo combined for three of the four sacks that Baker Mayfield took on Monday night.
A Luke Goedeke foot injury caused further reshuffling and had Baker running for his life all night, seeming to suffer about 43 different season-ending injuries in the fourth quarter alone.
Goedeke is expected to miss multiple weeks, and Cody Mauch suffered a significant knee injury that will require surgery and end his season.
The belief was that as soon as Wirfs returns, this unit would find its way back into the top 10, but as injuries continue to mount, the move could now be in the opposite direction.
10. Atlanta Falcons (Last Week: 16)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Jake Matthews, LG Matthew Bergeron, C Ryan Neuzil, RG Chris Lindstrom, RT Elijah Wilkinson
Bijan Robinson doesn't need perfect blocking to dominate, but he got it anyway. After being bottled up for only two yards per carry in Week 1, he averaged more than that before contact against the Vikings, turning the additional daylight into 143 rushing yards on 22 attempts. Add Tyler Allgeier's contributions, and Atlanta easily cleared 200 yards on the ground.
Bijan proved last week that he's a safe play even when things don't break right. Now he's shown that when they do, he's downright terrifying.
9. Detroit Lions (Last Week: 13)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Taylor Decker, LG Christian Mahogany, C Graham Glasgow, RG Tate Ratledge, RT Penei Sewell
Talk about a course correction. One week after surrendering four sacks and looking shaky against Green Bay, Detroit's offensive line put on a clinic against Chicago. Jared Goff faced just four pressures, wasn't touched once, and rewarded the clean pockets with a surgical 300-yard, five-touchdown day.
On the ground, both Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery found the end zone as part of a 177-yard rushing effort. This is the Lions' O-line fantasy managers have watched for years now. Balanced, physical, and suffocating.
Given their history of domination, it was reasonable to expect the unit to improve from their Week 1 performance, but can they really be as good as they looked in Week 2?
8. Baltimore Ravens (Last Week: 4)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Ronnie Stanley, LG Andrew Vorhees, C Tyler Linderbaum, RG Daniel Faalele, RT Roger Rosengarten
Even bullies get pushed around sometimes. After mauling Buffalo's front in Week 1, Baltimore's offensive line was out-muscled by the Browns.
The Ravens mustered just 45 rushing yards on 21 carries, with Henry looking mortal and Lamar Jackson bottled up. It's a reminder that no matter how talented the skill players are, the big guys up front set the ceiling.
The Ravens still scored 40 thanks to Lamar's wizardry and some defensive firepower, but this week's primetime showdown with Detroit has all the makings of a high-T trench war that could give clarity to both teams' Jekyll and Hyde performances through two weeks.
Tier 2- Brick and Mortar
7. Los Angeles Rams (Last Week: 11)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Alaric Jackson, LG Justin Dedich, C Coleman Shelton, RG Kevin Dotson, RT Rob Havenstein
Justin Dedich drew the start in place of Steve Avila, and he was practically invisible -- exactly what you want from an injury fill-in.
By his side, Alaric Jackson dominated in the run game, pulling out in space as the lead blocker on Puka Nacua's 45-yard touchdown sprint. The Rams piled up 149 rushing yards on the day, with Blake Corum flashing as one of the most valuable insurance policies in fantasy.
PUKA TO THE HOUSE!
📺 @NFLonCBS | #RamsHouse pic.twitter.com/GudOmw1ZmM
— Los Angeles Rams (@RamsNFL) September 14, 2025
It wasn't a flawless showing, but when you can plug in depth pieces and still churn out that kind of production, you know you've got a sturdy foundation.
6. Indianapolis Colts (Last Week: 3)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Bernhard Raimann, LG Quenton Nelson, C Tanor Bortolini, RG Matt Goncalves, RT Braden Smith
The Colts are the only team in the league yet to punt, which says plenty about their offensive line. After hammering Miami in Week 1, they followed it up with 167 rushing yards against Denver.
The issue, and reason for their slight dip, was pass protection. Daniel Jones was under fire all afternoon, with Denver piling up 19 pressures, fifth-most on the week. He went down only once, but the pocket was rarely clean.
This is still one of the gnarliest units in football, and Jonathan Taylor has the early look of a league winner. But if the pass protection doesn't steady, fantasy managers banking on a continued Cinderella run from Jones will need to keep an eye on matchup volatility.
5. Green Bay Packers (Last Week: 9 )
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Rasheed Walker, LG Jordan Morgan, C Elgton Jenkins, RG Sean Rhyan, RT Anthony Belton
Plugging two backups into the starting lineup generally isn't ideal, but for the Packers in Week 2, it proved to be no problem at all. Jordan Morgan stepped in for Aaron Banks, and rookie Anthony Belton filled Zach Tom's shoes, with the line barely missing a beat.
Belton's holding penalty wiped out a touchdown early, but otherwise it was spotless. Jordan Love wasn't sacked or even hit, and the Packers rolled up 135 rushing yards and a touchdown.
Two weeks in, this group has been clean in every sense of the word -- disciplined, efficient, and mistake-free. Green Bay looks every bit like a contender, and the O-line is making sure fantasy managers can buy into both the run and pass game with confidence.
4. Buffalo Bills (Last Week: 6)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Dion Dawkins, LG David Edwards, C Connor McGovern, RG O'Cyrus Torrence, RT Spencer Brown
Josh Allen behind a top-5 offensive line is simply unfair. He faced only seven pressures in Week 2 and has been sacked twice this year. Unfair.
James Cook behind a top-5 offensive line is also unfair. He's going toe-to-toe with the touchdown regression narrative that followed him all offseason, and he's currently on pace for more than 25 rushing scores.
No, that pace won't hold, but behind this line, his efficiency looks sticky, having racked up 44 yards before contact on Sunday. Just unfair.
3. San Francisco 49ers (Last Week: 7)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Trent Williams, LG Connor Colby, C Jake Brendel, RG Dominick Puni, RT Colton McKivitz
Trent Williams looked shockingly fallible in Week 1. That was not the story in Week 2. After giving up six pressures last week, he pitched a shutout against the Saints, earning one of just two pass-blocking grades above 90 from PFF, and the ripple effects were immediate.
Mac Jones had one of the cleanest games of his career, putting him squarely on the radar of superflex streamers should Purdy miss another game.
The 49ers took a hit when left guard Ben Bartch exited with a high-ankle sprain that has since landed him on IR, but seventh-round rookie Connor Colby filled in admirably, staying off the stat sheet entirely. How he performs over the next few weeks suddenly becomes a major storyline for a team that has been rocked by injury two weeks into the year.
Tier 1- Steel-Reinforced Concrete
2. Denver Broncos (Last Week: 2)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Garett Bolles, LG Ben Powers, C Luke Wattenberg, RG Quinn Meinerz, RT Mike McGlinchey
Garett Bolles has opened 2025 on a heater, grading out as PFF's top pass blocker in Week 2 and trailing only Miller and Alt through two games overall. Against a scrappy Colts defense, Denver's front five kept Bo Nix standing, allowing just four pressures and no sacks, while paving the way for 118 rushing yards at nearly five yards per carry.
While there haven't been any fantasy standouts through two weeks, the Broncos have uncovered a formula to win more games than they lose. With the occasional rarity aside, they will leverage that formula to achieve team success at the expense of many fantasy lineups.
1. Philadelphia Eagles (Last Week: 1)
Week 2 Snap Leaders: LT Jordan Mailata, LG Landon Dickerson, C Cam Jurgens, RG Tyler Steen, RT Lane Johnson
This could get boring, but Jordan Mailata has now finished as PFF's top run blocker in back-to-back weeks, and in Week 2, he graded as the league's best offensive lineman overall.
The Eagles could likely go out and win a game against most teams in the league without throwing the ball once. They ran the tush push nine times against Kansas City on Sunday, including five in the fourth quarter, much to the frustration of Chris Jones.
Jordan Mailata: “This is my official plea to all the other teams out there. You can run the Tush Push the same way we do.” #Eagles pic.twitter.com/vkTfiercOx
— EJ Smith (@EJSmith94) September 17, 2025
Philly has five rushing touchdowns already, second-most in the league, and they've barely broken a sweat. This is the rare line that makes everything possible. They can grind out the clock, or they can hit explosives and flip fantasy matchups when needed.
Unfortunately for fantasy managers, it hasn't been needed yet.
