Offensive Line Rankings and Impacts - Fantasy Football Matchup Outlooks for Week 4

Patrick's NFL offensive line (OL) rankings heading into Week 4 of 2025. He identifies fantasy football offenses to target, and the best/worst O-Lines for fantasy production.

We're nearly a month into the season, and the shape of our fantasy rosters is starting to come into focus. The studs are producing, the injuries are mounting, and then there are those players that we just knew would be the crown jewel of draft season. The guys we made sure to roster everywhere.

And what have they given us so far? Absolutely nothing. Now, before you throw a rage-fit and drop them, ask yourself what's happening in front of them?

A guard getting bullrushed into the pocket or a tackle who can't handle speed off the edge aren't things that show up on your fantasy app, but they decide whether that crown jewel actually has any worth, or if it's just a marble. Each week, we'll track which offensive lines are an appraiser's dream, which are holding steady, and which just might be cursed.

Tier 6 – Wet Tissue Paper

32. Cincinnati Bengals (Last Week: 32)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Orlando Brown Jr., LG Dylan Fairchild, C Ted Karras, RG Dalton Risner, RT Amarius Mims

The bright side for Cincinnati's offensive line is that the rest of the team was such a mess on Sunday, their own flaws almost slipped under the radar. Almost. The Bengals have been stapled to the 32-spot all season, and it's possible Joe Burrow was covering up just how bad this group truly is.

Backup Jake Browning found out the hard way, facing 17 pressures in a game that looked like someone had tossed bacon-wrapped chum to a shiver of sharks.

To make matters worse, Dalton Risner left with a calf injury, leaving him questionable for a Week 4 clash with a Broncos front that's already smelling blood.

Chase Brown has become unusable, having now reached an all-time low of rushing yards for a player with 45 carries in a season. Ja'Marr Chase still needs to be started, but with tempered expectations, while Tee Higgins lives week-to-week based on matchup and manager desperation.

31. Miami Dolphins (Last Week: 31)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Patrick Paul, LG Jonah Savaiinaea, C Aaron Brewer, RG Kion Smith, RT Larry Borom

For a fleeting moment Thursday night, the Dolphins, having strung together two of their best drives of the year, looked like they might have figured something out. It was their season high mark at Highmark Stadium.

Then, both starting guards were flagged for working downfield, Kion Smith was benched for Daniel Brunskill, and rookie Jonah Savaiinaea surrendered a season-high five pressures.

The constant pressure in his face resulted in Tua Tagovailoa's average depth of target dipping back below six yards, one week after briefly resembling a functional downfield passer.

Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle salvaged their fantasy days with touchdowns, but as long as this line is a weekly liability, Miami's passing attack will live and die on the occasional splash play, rarer now than it ever was.

30. Houston Texans (Last Week: 29)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Aireontae Ersery, LG Juice Scruggs, C Jake Andrews, RG Ed Ingram, RT Tytus Howard

The Texans tried to shake things up, rotating Juice Scruggs in for the ever-struggling Laken Tomlinson. It didn't matter. The line was so inept that Jakob Johnson, a fullback recently signed to the active roster from the practice squad, was unquestionably the best run blocker on the field.

Meanwhile, Jake Andrews returned from injury and promptly reminded everyone that he's not a starting-caliber center. He was routinely blown off his spot, wrecking any chance at rhythm.

C.J. Stroud has one of the quickest releases in the league, but until he's able to just shoot the ball out of a gun, no arm on this planet can cover for a unit this porous.

Tier 5 – Cardboard and Twine

29. New York Giants (Last Week: 30)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Marcus Mbow, LG Jon Runyan, C John Michael Schmitz Jr., RG Greg Van Roten, RT Jermaine Eluemunor

Sunday night was a rough one for Giants players and viewers alike. Nineteen pressures put the onus on Russell Wilson to work magic. All he really mustered was the removable thumb gag.

The fallout is that Jaxson Dart is now being handed the keys. While he brings excitement to Jersey, he also brings almost zero experience in a pro-style offense, let alone a pro-style offense with so few pros up front.

The unit's saving grace was Andrew Thomas, who looked dominant in his limited return to work. As his load increases, he could raise the group's floor. Until then, Malik Nabers remains an every-week start, as the easiest game plan for a rookie QB to grasp is to repeatedly get the ball to the best player on the field.

And with Tyrone Tracy Jr. expected to miss multiple weeks, Cam Skattebo and his brick-eating style are uniquely suited for clogged lanes.

28. Cleveland Browns (Last Week: 26)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Cornelius Lucas, LG Joel Bitonio, C Ethan Pocic, RG Wyatt Teller, RT KT Leveston

Jack Conklin's elbow injury kept him on the shelf, Dawand Jones lasted four snaps before his knee gave out for the year, and suddenly, the Browns find themselves scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Cornelius Lucas, who more closely resembles a turnstile each week, has now allowed the most pressure of any tackle through three weeks. This line can still lean on mauling guards Joel Bitonio and Wyatt Teller to churn space for Quinshon Judkins, who looks every bit like a future star, but in pass protection, they're one of the league's worst.

The defense is good enough to keep them in games, meaning the run game will stay viable, but the passing game is a hard pass, unless you're targeting Flacco's newest safety valve, Harold Fannin Jr.

27. New Orleans Saints (Last Week: 21)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Kelvin Banks Jr., LG Torricelli Simpkins III, C Erik McCoy, RG Cesar Ruiz, RT Asim Richards

With Taliese Fuaga dealing with an inflamed patellar tendon, Asim Richards drew the second start of his career and wasted no time in surrendering seven pressures. And yet he looked like Jackie Slater compared to undrafted rookie Torricelli Simpkins III, who nominally filled in for an injured Dillon Radunz.

And yet, again, because the Saints play at one of the fastest paces in football, the offense remains fantasy-relevant by sheer volume. Chris Olave leads the league in WR targets through three weeks, while Juwan Johnson leads all TEs. The efficiency is ugly, but opportunity is king in fantasy, and for every play blown up before it even starts, this team is willing to attempt five more quickly.

26. Las Vegas Raiders (Last Week: 25)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Kolton Miller, LG Dylan Parham, C Jordan Meredith, RG Alex Cappa, RT DJ Glaze

Kolton Miller remains the lone steady hand in Vegas, but even he showed signs of slippage with three pressures allowed on Sunday, more than he'd given up in the first two weeks combined.

Paddy Pimblett couldn't believe the size of @Raiders OL Kolton Miller 😂

— NFL (@NFL) July 7, 2025

The rest of the line offered little resistance, collapsing like soggy drywall in the face of adversity. Geno Smith was pressured 20 times and went down five.

The team did post a season-high rushing total against the Commanders, but that only underscores how low the bar has been. Ashton Jeanty piled up 63 yards on the ground. Sixty-two of them came after contact.

The Jeanty experience has not yet been the miracle tonic fantasy drafters were sold on, but at least they can find solace in the knowledge that every point he gets them was extremely hard-earned.

25. Tennessee Titans (Last Week: 23)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Dan Moore Jr., LG Peter Skoronski, C Lloyd Cushenberry III, RG Blake Hance, RT Olisaemeka Udoh

Titans fans are learning just how much JC Latham means to this team. His absence has left a 6'6", 335-pound hole on the right side of the line.

John Ojukwu followed last week's disaster with another two sacks allowed in 21 snaps, earning the league's lowest pass-block win rate before being yanked for Oli Udoh.

Blake Hance was serviceable filling in at guard, and Tony Pollard finally found the end zone, but this unit still feels uncoordinated.

The big news out of Tennessee this week is that head coach Brian Callahan has relinquished play-calling duties to QB coach Bo Hardegree, but until Latham and Kevin Zeitler are back, the move feels a bit like shuffling deck chairs on the Titan-ic.

Sorry, didn't have a chance to go grocery shopping this week, and I needed the tomatoes.

24. New England Patriots (Last Week: 24)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Will Campbell, LG Jared Wilson, C Garrett Bradbury, RG Mike Onwenu, RT Morgan Moses

The Patriots actually outmuscled Pittsburgh in the trenches for large swaths of the game, running 71 plays to the Steelers' 49. The problem is that they turned those extra chances into five turnovers, their most since the Matt Cassel era.

Drake Maye took five sacks, some on him and some on receivers who couldn't separate, but the bottom line is that this unit has no margin for error. With a bottom-tier WR corps and a quarterback hardwired for hero ball, the line needs to be flawless. They've been anything but.

Tier 4 - Bubblegum and Duct Tape

23. Pittsburgh Steelers (Last Week: 28)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Broderick Jones, LG Isaac Seumalo, C Zach Frazier, RG Mason McCormick, RT Troy Fautanu

Aaron Rodgers wasn't sacked for the first time this season, though that arguably had more to do with just 25 dropbacks than any sudden epiphany up front.

The Steelers scored on their first two drives, then gained a total of 27 yards across their next six possessions until the Patriots gift-wrapped a game-winning drive with their fifth turnover.

On the ground, Pittsburgh's 189 rushing yards on the season and long run of 13 yards are both second-worst in the league, both ahead of only Cincinnati. The takeaway here is simple: they're bad, but they're still not Bengals bad.

22. Seattle Seahawks (Last Week: 27)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Charles Cross, LG Grey Zabel, C Jalen Sundell, RG Anthony Bradford, RT Abraham Lucas

Seattle seems to be stuck in the 1940s. They have the third-highest rate of rushing plays in the league, but unlike the Colts (4.6 yards per attempt) or Eagles (3.7 yards per attempt with tush pushes) ahead of them, the Seahawks have managed only 3.3 yards per attempt, bottom-five in the NFL, producing first downs at a below-average rate.

The irony is that this has been one of the better pass-blocking units in football, having allowed just three sacks through three games.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba is thriving despite a prehistoric scheme that doesn't match the team's personnel. Just imagine what his ceiling could become once Mike Macdonald discovers the forward pass.

21. Dallas Cowboys (Last Week: 22)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Tyler Guyton, LG Tyler Smith, C Brock Hoffman, RG Tyler Booker, RT Terence Steele

Even with Cooper Beebe sidelined, Dallas gashed Chicago for six yards per carry, but the game script forced them to chase points and abandon the run. This is where Beebe's absence was felt, as the protection didn't hold.

Cowboys quarterbacks faced at least 19 pressures for the second straight week. Now that CeeDee Lamb, Dak Prescott's best answer for dealing with immediate pressure, is sidelined, the outlook is grim.

Perhaps Dak's new answer is to scramble more, but with only four credited rushes all year, fantasy managers can't bank on that adjustment. For now, Dak is unstartable in single QB leagues and can potentially be dropped by any managers not awaiting the return of their Dak/Lamb stack.

20. Kansas City Chiefs (Last Week: 17)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Josh Simmons, LG Kingsley Suamataia, C Creed Humphrey, RG Trey Smith, RT Jawaan Taylor

Against arguably their toughest defensive test of the season, Kansas City's offensive line folded. Patrick Mahomes was sacked twice and hit six times, his highest total since Week 14 of 2024.

His trust in Travis Kelce as a quick outlet looks shaky, and without Rashee Rice, the offense is stuck in quicksand.

The run game has been average across the board, ranking 17th in yards and 14th in yards per carry. Unfortunately, the workload split between Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt makes both unplayable behind an offensive line barely solid enough to support one fantasy back.

Until Rice returns, Mahomes is basically dragging this entire offense uphill alone, and for the first time in a long time, there are zero reliable fantasy options out of Kansas City.

Oh, and can someone show Jawaan Taylor where to line up?

19. Arizona Cardinals (Last Week: 18)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Kelvin Beachum, LG Evan Brown, C Hjalte Froholdt, RG Isaiah Adams, RT Jonah Williams

Paris Johnson Jr. was one of PFF's top-rated pass blockers through two weeks, but he found himself inactive for Sunday's divisional clash with a knee issue. Kelvin Beachum stepped in and allowed a team-high seven pressures and a sack, shockingly, the first of the year that Kyler Murray could actually pin on his linemen.

In the run game, things got suddenly bleak. James Conner's gruesome season-ending injury forces Trey Benson into the lead role, but outside of a single 52-yard scamper in Week 1, Cardinals RBs have averaged 3.1 yards per carry on 55 attempts. Benson has all the athletic tools in the world, but without obvious running lanes, his lack of vision could be exposed fast, making him more of an RB2 than the league-winner he's being viewed as by some.

18. Jacksonville Jaguars (Last Week: 14)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Walker Little, LG Ezra Cleveland, C Robert Hainsey, RG Patrick Mekari, RT Anton Harrison

Just as my O-line crush on the Jaguars had me writing their name with hearts in the margins of my diary, they turn in an absolute clunker. Against Houston, Jacksonville RBs averaged less than one yard before contact, with tight end Brenton Strange grading as their best run blocker on the day.

Trevor Lawrence, meanwhile, saw 15 pressures, more than he'd faced in Weeks 1 and 2 combined. Walker Little wore much of the blame, and while the Texans' defensive front deserves much of the credit, this was still a sobering crash back to Earth.

Perhaps it was just a blip against an elite front. If not, I may end up regretting this "Jags O-line 4-eva" tattoo.

Tier 3 - Plywood and Nails

17. Los Angeles Chargers (Last Week: 15)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Joe Alt, LG Zion Johnson, C Bradley Bozeman, RG Jamaree Salyer, RT Trey Pipkins III

The Chargers might be 3-0, but this team clearly misses Rashawn Slater. Joe Alt has been a weekly bright spot holding down the left tackle gig, but on the other side, Trey Pipkins III is turning into a weekly punching bag.

Against Denver, he was Jonathon Cooper's personal highlight reel, on the scene for almost all of Cooper's ten pressures, eight hurries, two hits, a sack, and probably a partridge in a pear tree.

With Jamaree Salyer filling in beside him for a concussed Mekhi Becton, every mistake was magnified. The run game finally topped 100 yards, but it came at just 3.5 yards per attempt, and Najee Harris' unfortunate Achilles injury now leaves rookie Omarion Hampton carrying the load.

Alt can only prop things up for so long, and this line desperately needs someone else to step up if they're serious about maintaining their contender status.

16. New York Jets (Last Week: 16)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Olumuyiwa Fashanu, LG John Simpson, C Josh Myers, RG Joe Tippmann, RT Armand Membou

The Jets quietly became the first team in almost a calendar year to run for 99 yards against Tampa Bay, even if half of that came from 36-year-old Tyrod Taylor's scrambles. Credit the O-line for creating lanes, even if their pass protection wasn't as kind.

The Buccaneers responded with 23 pressures, four sacks, and a welcome-to-the-NFL game for rookie right tackle Armand Membou.

After looking like a seasoned vet in Week 1, Membou has since shown his age, and he now has his first sack allowed on record. Still, this isn't a line that sinks the offense.

With Justin Fields set to return and a free-falling Miami squad on deck, Fields, Garrett Wilson, and Breece Hall can confidently go right back into lineups.

15. Carolina Panthers (Last Week: 19)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Ikem Ekwonu, LG Damien Lewis, C Cade Mays, RG Chandler Zavala, RT Taylor Moton

Ikem Ekwonu looked more like himself in his second game back from surgery, cutting his pressures allowed from eight to two, while the unit as a whole gave up just six against Atlanta.

With Austin Corbett and Robert Hunt both on IR, Carolina turned to Cade Mays and Chandler Zavala inside, to mixed results. Mays was spotless; Zavala was less so, matching Icky's third of those pressures. Still, it was enough to let the Panthers lean on a season-high 30 rushing attempts.

Chuba Hubbard didn't find the painted area as he had in previous weeks. Still, he finally ran with efficiency, giving Carolina a functional offensive identity for the first time this year.

14. Green Bay Packers (Last Week: 5)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Rasheed Walker, LG Jordan Morgan, C Elgton Jenkins, RG Sean Rhyan, RT Anthony Belton

We may have crowned the Packers too soon. Zach Tom returned but managed just one snap before exiting again, leaving Green Bay back in musical chairs mode up front. The result was 16 pressures, five sacks, and a Browns front that ate their lunch in Jordan Love's lap.

Josh Jacobs' early-season touchdown deodorant wore off too, and boy did he reek, managing only 30 yards on 16 carries.

Green Bay has the pieces to rebound, but they need Tom back to anchor the right side. Until then, it's tough sledding for Jacobs, and Love's fantasy ceiling is capped against competent defenses. The Packers get the Cowboys in Week 4, so what's a nice way of saying Love's fantasy ceiling will not be capped?

13. Baltimore Ravens (Last Week: 8)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Ronnie Stanley, LG Andrew Vorhees, C Tyler Linderbaum, RG Daniel Faalele, RT Roger Rosengarten

The Ravens' offensive line opened 2025 looking like a biker gang tearing down the freeway. The last two weeks have been more West Side Story dance crew.

Since Derrick Henry's 169-yard opener, his output has evaporated to the tune of 73 yards on 23 carries over the last two weeks, with a third of that coming on one long touchdown run.

Baltimore’s four-play goal-line stand on Monday began with Henry being stuffed three straight times, and ended with a Keystone Cops routine from Lamar Jackson.

Worse, Lamar tied his career-high with seven sacks, rarely finding daylight. This line still has the talent to reclaim its bully-ball identity, but right now, opponents are dictating the terms, and the Ravens are just snapping along.

12. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Last Week: 11)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Graham Barton, LG Elijah Klein, C Ben Bredeson, RG Luke Haggard, RT Charlie Heck

Down three starters, Tampa's box of mismatched components somehow delivered its best game yet. Elijah Klein and Luke Haggard both made their first career starts and went practically unnoticed.

The Bucs cleared 100 yards rushing for the third time in as many games, clawing their way to a 3-0 start in three of the year's most entertaining games.

— Rick Stroud (@NFLSTROUD) September 24, 2025

Even better, Tristan Wirfs is listed atop the depth chart for the first time this year, giving this ragtag group a legitimate superstar again. Cody Mauch is gone for the season, but if the rest of the misfit toys hold up until Luke Goedeke returns, Tampa's line won't be kept out of the top ten for much longer.

11. Atlanta Falcons (Last Week: 10)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Jake Matthews, LG Matthew Bergeron, C Ryan Neuzil, RG Chris Lindstrom, RT Elijah Wilkinson

Michael Penix Jr. got benched, and he earned every bit of it. Two interceptions, under 200 yards, and a 50% completion rate, all while sitting behind one of the cleanest pockets of Week 3. Atlanta's line allowed only 10 pressures, one hit, and zero sacks.

They also paved the way for 131 rushing yards at 5.7 yards per carry before the game script tilted. This group is doing its job and then some; it's the quarterback play dragging the offense down.

For fantasy managers, Bijan Robinson remains a slam-dunk start each and every week, but Drake London's problems go beyond the offensive line.

10. Washington Commanders (Last Week: 20)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Laremy Tunsil, LG Chris Paul, C Tyler Biadasz, RG Nick Allegretti, RT Josh Conerly Jr.

Fourth-year guard Chris Paul stepped in for an injured Brandon Coleman, making his first start since 2023, and he was the unit's best player on a day that launched them up the rankings.

The Commanders' front five allowed just two pressures while giving Marcus Mariota a clean pocket all afternoon, easily their best outing of the season.

On the ground, Washington steamrolled the Raiders for 201 yards and three scores, their second 200-yard effort in three weeks.

With Laremy Tunsil and Josh Conerly combining for eight flags already, discipline is still a bit of an issue. Still, this unit looks built for sustained dominance in the run game, which is great news for Jacory Croskey-Merritt and whatever committee falls in line behind him. Or ahead of him. Maybe next to him? That part is still TBD.

9. Chicago Bears (Last Week: 12)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Braxton Jones, LG Joe Thuney, C Drew Dalman, RG Jonah Jackson, RT Darnell Wright

For the first time in his 20-year career, Caleb Williams didn't take a single sack. The Bears gave up just six pressures to a toothless Cowboys defense, and Williams rewarded them with nearly 300 yards and four scores.

It was the cleanest day this rebuilt line has produced and a glimpse of what this offense can look like when Caleb is kept upright. The run game was nothing special, but we're taking baby steps here.

The one looming concern is that Darnell Wright left with an elbow injury, replaced by Theo Benedet, who may be asked to make his first career start against Maxx Crosby in Week 4. If Caleb got comfortable last week, he may need to quickly forget that feeling.

Tier 2- Brick and Mortar

8. Minnesota Vikings (Last Week: 13)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Christian Darrisaw, LG Donovan Jackson, C Michael Jurgens, RG Will Fries, RT Brian O'Neill

Christian Darrisaw returned to the field for the first time in 332 days and wasted no time announcing himself, erasing Trey Hendrickson on the opening snap and springing Jordan Mason for a 10-yard outside burst. It set the tone for a 169-yard, two-score rushing performance in the week's most lopsided win.

The passing game was limited with Carson Wentz under center, but only one of his three sacks was pinned on the offensive line. As Darrisaw works back into full form, this line could quickly climb into elite territory.

While there might not be an obvious answer at quarterback coming anytime soon, limiting the impact we're used to seeing from Justin Jefferson, Mason is now the clear backfield leader and is in store for some week-winning performances.

7. San Francisco 49ers (Last Week: 3)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Trent Williams, LG Connor Colby, C Jake Brendel, RG Dominick Puni, RT Colton McKivitz

It wasn't all pretty. A four-play goal-line stand stuffed cold and a Dominick Puni holding call in his own end zone nearly flipped the game, but the 49ers' line still held together long enough to piece together a second straight Mac Jones win, his longest streak since 2022.

Both Ben Bartch, before hitting the  IR, and Jake Brendel sit among PFF's top-10 graded interior linemen, and Trent Williams has shaken off his one-week slow start to look like himself again.

Connor Colby was shaky in his first extended action, but surrounded by elite talent, his flaws were masked, which is exactly what the best offensive lines in the league do. They absorb turbulence and keep everything on schedule.

6. Los Angeles Rams (Last Week: 7)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Alaric Jackson, LG Justin Dedich, C Coleman Shelton, RG Kevin Dotson, RT Rob Havenstein

The Rams went toe-to-toe with the defending champs, and the difference came down to two blocked field goals. That flukiness doesn't change the fact that this line is one of the league's best right now.

For the second straight week, the Rams topped 140 rushing yards, and 37-year-old statue Matthew Stafford has been sacked just twice in those two games.

Over 27% of LA’s runs have moved the chains, which is the sixth-best rate in football, and a key factor in keeping an aging quarterback upright and the play-action game humming. Though perhaps the aim should be closer to 28% if it keeps the kicking unit off the field.

5. Detroit Lions (Last Week: 9)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Taylor Decker, LG Christian Mahogany, C Graham Glasgow, RG Tate Ratledge, RT Penei Sewell

If you want to know how the Lions won on Monday night, look no further than two drives. They started the second quarter with an 18-play, 98-yard touchdown drive that took nearly 11 minutes off the clock. Then by the time they got to the fourth quarter, all that practice paid off, as it took them only seven plays and less than four minutes to drive 96 yards for a lead they would not relinquish.

Penei Sewell allowed one pressure on the night. Otherwise, in a game featuring some of the All-Pro-iest All-Pros, he was the best player on the field for 67 of 68 plays. He has been graded as PFF's top offensive player through three weeks, trailing only Fred Warner league-wide.

Pro tip: Just run behind Penei Sewell 🦁 pic.twitter.com/ZPC6T17LXJ

— PFF (@PFF) September 23, 2025

Detroit rolled up 224 yards and four touchdowns on the ground, the latest reminder that this line doesn't just sustain drives, it breaks opponents’ wills. Turns out losing Ben Johnson wasn't the death knell everyone thought after Week 1.

Tier 1- Steel-Reinforced Concrete

4. Indianapolis Colts (Last Week: 6)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Bernhard Raimann, LG Quenton Nelson, C Tanor Bortolini, RG Matt Goncalves, RT Braden Smith

If fantasy drafts were redone today, Jonathan Taylor would have a legitimate case for the 1.01, and Daniel Jones would go earlier than he has in any draft since the Giants made him the IRL 6th overall pick.

That's what happens when an offensive line makes everything else possible. Through three weeks, the Colts' front five have turned in two of the more dominant performances league-wide.

— Coach Dan Casey (@CoachDanCasey) September 22, 2025

The Colts are 4th in passing yards, 3rd in rushing yards, 2nd in rushing touchdowns, and they've punted once. That's as impressive a countdown as you're going to find on this list or any other.

3. Buffalo Bills (Last Week: 4)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Dion Dawkins, LG David Edwards, C Connor McGovern, RG O'Cyrus Torrence, RT Spencer Brown

Everything the Bills do right now looks effortless, and it starts up front. James Cook put another notch on the weekly touchdown board, and he now trails only Jonathan Taylor in yards after contact, though half the time that contact comes in the form of an outstretched fingertip eight yards downfield.

Josh Allen, meanwhile, is throwing darts from a recliner. He tossed three touchdowns and completed nearly 80% of his passes without breaking a sweat.

Over the last two games, Buffalo's offensive line has allowed just 12 pressures, a luxury most QBs can only dream about. With Allen's efficiency spiking and Cook's lanes wide open, this offense can pick defenses apart with their feet kicked up.

After dominant showings over the Jets and Dolphins, a non-divisional foe like the Saints may present a challenge in Week 4. And perhaps pigs will fly, or some other such cliché to show how unserious a statement this is.

2. Denver Broncos (Last Week: 2)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Garett Bolles, LG Ben Powers, C Luke Wattenberg, RG Quinn Meinerz, RT Mike McGlinchey

The Broncos' offensive line surrendered nine pressures, and neither of the two sacks that brought down Bo Nix. Nix threw one touchdown with no interceptions. In the same game, Justin Herbert faced 26 total pressures and hit the turf five times while throwing one touchdown and adding a pick.

J.K. Dobbins and Nix combined for 116 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries, while Los Angeles grinded out 106 yards on 28 carries, with both a score and a fumble.

The Chargers won the game because divisional matchups are wild like that.

Garrett Bolles is blocking like his own child is under center, PFF's top-graded pass blocker through three weeks. Denver has topped 100 rushing yards every time out, and Nix's three sacks taken are fewer than those of 26 other quarterbacks, including two Bengals.

The Broncos sit at 1-2, but they're playing like a 3-0 team. And if it were entirely up to their offensive line, they might somehow be 4-0.

1. Philadelphia Eagles (Last Week: 1)

Week 3 Snap Leaders: LT Jordan Mailata, LG Landon Dickerson, C Cam Jurgens, RG Tyler Steen, RT Fred Johnson

It wasn't the Eagles' cleanest showing, but dynasties don't crumble on one shaky week. Lane Johnson left with a stinger, replaced by Fred Johnson. And since you turn to this article for hard-hitting, data-driven analysis… Lane is a better name for a tackle than Fred.

Jordan Mailata showed cracks for the first time in 2025. Yet even with diminished pieces, Philly's O-line did what elite units do. They found a way to win.

The tush push remains unstoppable, if not always completely legal, and in crunch time, Jalen Hurts was given just enough protection to finally involve A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith and flip a loss into a win. The gap at the top has narrowed thanks to Denver's consistency, but it's going to take more than a hiccup (or two) to dethrone the champs.
