Offensive Line Rankings and Impacts - Fantasy Football Matchup Outlooks for Week 5

October 2, 2025

Patrick's NFL offensive line (OL) rankings heading into Week 5 of 2025. He identifies fantasy football offenses to target, and the best/worst O-Lines for fantasy production.

We've now got four games of data, and panic buttons are getting slapped like dad knees during a Chevy Chase marathon. The Browns and Texans pulled off a rare in-season offensive line trade, with Cam Robinson heading to Cleveland in exchange for a late-round pick swap.

It's not all that different from what you're likely seeing in your own leagues. The team that thought they were a contender falls to 1-3 and starts shotgunning offers at 2 a.m. Whether dealing with a fantasy team riddled with injury or a right guard that can't pick up a stunting defensive lineman, there are no easy fixes, but everyone wants to at least say they tried something.

Each week, we're checking in with all 32 offensive lines across the NFL to let you know which ones are beyond fixing, which ones are just one piece away from greatness, and what it all means for your fantasy squad.

Tier 6 – Wet Tissue Paper

32. Cincinnati Bengals (Last Week: 32)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Orlando Brown Jr., LG Dylan Fairchild, C Ted Karras, RG Jalen Rivers, RT Amarius Mims

For weeks, we've been humming a funeral dirge for the Bengals' fantasy value. On primetime Monday night, Cincinnati showed the world that putting an overmatched backup quarterback behind the league's worst unit spells doom for production. RIP Ja'Marr Chase. RIP Tee Higgins. RIP Chase Brown.

Blitz happy defensive coordinator Vance Joseph didn't even bother heating things up. His defense sent an extra pass rusher at Jake Browning just four times on 29 dropbacks, and they still got home with regularity.

Meanwhile, with a scheme seemingly inspired by the Persian army, it didn't matter how many bodies the Bengals threw into battle; the result was a predictable bloodbath.

Awful: No QB in the NFL would stand a chance behind the Bengals' offensive line.

• The Broncos rush only 3
• Bengals use four players to block one guy
• Both tackles get beaten instantly for a sack

31. Miami Dolphins (Last Week: 31)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Patrick Paul, LG Jonah Savaiinaea, C Aaron Brewer, RG Cole Strange, RT Larry Borom

For the second week in a row, Miami did not allow a sack, though that has more to do with the hot potato offense the Dolphins have been forced into for a second straight year. This offensive line can't protect, so everything's out before anything can develop, with Tua Tagovailoa releasing the ball in 2.65 seconds on average.

That's good for De'Von Achane as a receiver, and apparently Darren Waller, who has a chance to step into the take-three-strides-and-turn-around role that made Jonnu Smith so valuable in PPR leagues last year.

Unfortunately, with Tyreek Hill lost for the year, even the suggestion of danger no longer exists outside the defensive shell, and things could get ugly in Miami.

30. Houston Texans (Last Week: 30)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Aireontae Ersery, LG Juice Scruggs, C Jake Andrews, RG Ed Ingram, RT Tytus Howard

Believe it or not, Ed Ingram was PFF's highest-graded offensive lineman of Week 4, and man did he look out of place as Houston's only lineman to crack the top-145.

Although rookie Aireontae Ersery has allowed a sack in all four games this season, the team apparently felt comfortable enough in his progress to ship out backup Cam Robinson this week. The trade occurred six months after signing him to a one-year, $12 million deal, with approximately $9 million paid upfront.

So yes, you could say the Texans have things pretty figured out up front.

29. Cleveland Browns (Last Week: 28)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT KT Leveston, LG Joel Bitonio, C Ethan Pocic, RG Wyatt Teller, RT Cornelius Lucas

With Dawand Jones done for the year, Cleveland gave KT Leveston and Cornelius Lucas one more chance to swap sides and work things out. Lucas responded with his worst outing yet, allowing nine pressures and two sacks.

In turn, the front office traded for a backup tackle from one of the league's worst offensive lines.

So yes, you could say the Browns have things pretty figured out up front.

Tier 5 – Cardboard and Twine

28. Tennessee Titans (Last Week: 25)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Dan Moore Jr., LG Peter Skoronski, C Lloyd Cushenberry III, RG Kevin Zeitler, RT Olisaemeka Udoh

Kevin Zeitler returned from a biceps injury and, fittingly, was the only Titan lineman who didn't allow a pressure. The rest of the group seemed to all discover the concept of quiet quitting in the same week, surrendering 17 pressures on Cam Ward.

The Titans are now one of just two teams, along with Cincinnati, to rank in the bottom four in both rushing and passing yards. Last week, head coach Brian Callahan turned over play-calling duties. If things keep trending in the same direction, he'll soon be turning in his badge to access the team facility.

27. Pittsburgh Steelers (Last Week: 23)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Broderick Jones, LG Isaac Seumalo, C Zach Frazier, RG Mason McCormick, RT Troy Fautanu

The first NFL play run on Irish soil saw the Steelers leave the interior of the Vikings' defense completely unblocked, resulting in a sack of Aaron Rodgers.

— McGrumble (@FF_McGrumble) October 1, 2025

The Steelers' offensive line is so bad it's almost good, at least for pass-catching backs like Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell.

With zero trust up front, Rodgers is getting the ball out at a league-fastest 2.48 seconds per throw, and his 5.2-yard average depth of target is so shallow it's honestly shocking to see a self-proclaimed deep thinker like Rodgers even associated with it.

Running backs and tight ends now account for a Dolphins-esque 57.4% of Rodgers' targets, providing fantasy managers with a weird little PPR gift.

26. Seattle Seahawks (Last Week: 22)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Charles Cross, LG Grey Zabel, C Jalen Sundell, RG Anthony Bradford, RT Abraham Lucas

Seattle's opening drive on Thursday was a microcosm of their season. Their first play of the game saw Kenneth Walker III running sideways in search of an edge that never developed. Zero yard gain. The drive ended with Zach Charbonnet trying to bulldoze two undeterred defenders. Zero yard gain and a turnover on downs.

This line cannot create running lanes, and both backs are compensating in their own unique way. Nearly two-thirds of Seattle's 443 rushing yards have come after contact, a stat that both masks the line's woes and could actually be more jarring if not for Walker's penchant for running backwards in search of the big play.

25. New York Giants (Last Week: 29)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Andrew Thomas, LG Jon Runyan, C John Michael Schmitz Jr., RG Greg Van Roten, RT Jermaine Eluemunor

The Giants surrendered six sacks on Sunday, but the breakdown is almost comedic. Jaxson Dart took five sacks on 10 pressures, while Russell Wilson took one sack on his lone pressure, largely the result of Dart being a rookie and Russell Wilson being Russell Wilson.

While Dart has brought a buzz to Jersey, almost loud enough to drown out some of the whimpers surrounding that thing that happened that not all of us are ready to talk about yet, the biggest silver lining for the Giants has been Andrew Thomas' return. With him back at his left tackle spot, the Giants have rushed for 145.5 yards per game the last two weeks, nearly doubling the 79 yards per game with which they started the season.

24. New Orleans Saints (Last Week: 27)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Kelvin Banks Jr., LG Trevor Penning, C Erik McCoy, RG Torricelli Simpkins III, RT Taliese Fuaga

The injury gods giveth and the injury gods taketh away. Taliese Fuaga returned after a one-game absence, Trevor Penning made his first start of the season, and then Cesar Ruiz promptly left with a high-ankle sprain likely to land him on IR.

Even so, this was the Saints' cleanest game yet, keeping things surprisingly close against an undefeated Bills team while rushing for a season-high 189 yards. For a jerry-rigged front on an offense in need of direction, this was a rare step forward, though likely a fleeting one.

23. Las Vegas Raiders (Last Week: 26)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Kolton Miller, LG Dylan Parham, C Jordan Meredith, RG Jackson Powers-Johnson, RT DJ Glaze

Ashton Jeanty finally delivered the fantasy payoff managers have been desperate for, but he had to do it all by himself. Of his 138 rushing yards, 123 came after contact, forcing nine missed tackles along the way. The Raiders as a whole racked up 240 yards on the ground, but 186 came after defenders got a hand on them. Nothing about that is sustainable.

Now Kolton Miller, PFF's fifth-highest graded lineman through four weeks, is on IR with a fractured ankle. Geno Smith already owns one of the league's worst pressure-to-sack rates (20.7%), and without his blindside anchor, it sure would be weird to see fewer pressures coming his way.

Tier 4 - Bubblegum and Duct Tape

22. Los Angeles Chargers (Last Week: 17)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Austin Deculus, LG Zion Johnson, C Bradley Bozeman, RG Jamaree Salyer, RT Trey Pipkins III

Joe Alt had been single-handedly raising the floor of this unit in Rashawn Slater's absence. When Alt went down with a high ankle sprain after 10 snaps, the bottom fell out. Justin Herbert was pressured more than 20 times, with six credited to Alt's replacement, Austin Deculus, and half of those resulting in contact with Herbert.

Somehow, rookie Omarion Hampton averaged 10.7 yards per carry, but in a game never separated by more than two scores, the Chargers called only a dozen designed runs.

Their 36.4% rush rate ranks fourth-lowest in the league, and with Alt now sidelined, continuing that game plan is a surefire way to make Big Herb feel the big hurt.

21. Arizona Cardinals (Last Week: 19)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Kelvin Beachum, LG Evan Brown, C Hjalte Froholdt, RG Isaiah Adams, RT Jonah Williams

For years, the Cardinals' offense has run through James Conner, and the 2025 Seattle Seahawks are not an ideal defense to find a new identity against. Even with Paris Johnson Jr. back, Arizona managed just 51 yards on designed runs.

Along with Conner, Trey Benson is now shelved for at least four weeks, leaving Emari Demercado and Michael Carter atop the depth chart and Kyler Murray as arguably the one player in the league most responsible for his team's success or failure.

Murray has already taken 13 sacks behind an above-average pass-protecting unit, tied for third-most in the league, and that was with the presence of a running game to keep defenses honest. With the backfield stripped bare, Kyler is going to be asked to do Mahomes-like things.

The data would suggest he is not Mahomes.

20. New England Patriots (Last Week: 24)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Will Campbell, LG Jared Wilson, C Garrett Bradbury, RG Mike Onwenu, RT Morgan Moses

With Ben Brown inserted into the lineup for an injured Jared Wilson, Patriots fans could be forgiven for any flashbacks tied to last year's offensive line debacle. Instead, they got the line's best outing of the year.

Drake Maye enjoyed the cleanest pocket of his young career and was able to top a 75% completion rate for the third straight game. Meanwhile, the run game posted its third consecutive 100-yard day and chipped in three rushing scores, and Will Campbell has looked every bit the part of the number four overall pick.

Will Campbell will never have a heart attack. His heart isn't foolish enough to attack him. pic.twitter.com/UzpbcCTgqu

— Boston Cream 🍩 (@itsbostoncream) September 30, 2025

This doesn't suddenly make the Pats a juggernaut, but it does mean the offense finally has some playable fantasy pieces. Maye looks poised, and the backfield committee is feasting behind a group starting to find its groove.

Tier 3 - Plywood and Nails

19. Dallas Cowboys (Last Week: 21)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Tyler Guyton, LG Tyler Smith, C Brock Hoffman, RG T.J. Bass, RT Terence Steele

This week's Tyler convention was surprisingly bereft of Tylers. Already down Tyler Booker, the Cowboys lost Tyler Guyton to a concussion mid-game, leaving only Tyler Smith holding down the name. Unless you count Tie-ler.

In what was the most entertaining tie since Jacobim Mugatu had the idea to decorate his neckwear with a keyboard, Dak Prescott was sacked only once on 41 dropbacks. Dallas topped 115 rushing yards for the fourth straight week, averaging north of 4.5 yards per carry every time.

The Cowboys may not have the top-end dominance of years past, but with Dak seemingly built to thrive amidst chaos, this line has done just enough to keep the offense balanced and fantasy-relevant.

18. Kansas City Chiefs (Last Week: 20)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Josh Simmons, LG Kingsley Suamataia, C Creed Humphrey, RG Trey Smith, RT Jawaan Taylor

Patrick Mahomes was pressured just eight times, sacked once, and he tossed four touchdowns for the first time in nearly two years.

Sure, Baltimore's injury-ravaged defense barely resembles the group that entered the season with Super Bowl aspirations, but for a Chiefs team that started the year looking un-Chiefs-like, this was a return to form. Kansas City has increased its rushing attempts in every game so far, peaking at 32 carries against the Ravens and getting respectable, unusable production from the continued committee of Kareem Hunt, Isiah Pacheco, and an emerging Brashard Smith.

Fantasy-wise, the picture remains murky outside of Mahomes and maybe Xavier Worthy until Rashee Rice returns. But at least in survivor pools, the Chiefs once again look like a safe bet to stack some wins.

17. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Last Week: 12)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Tristan Wirfs, LG Elijah Klein, C Ben Bredeson, RG Luke Haggard, RT Charlie Heck

Tristan Wirfs made his long-awaited return and, even with obvious signs of rust, was still Tampa's best lineman. Unfortunately, the rest of the line, clinging together through injury after injury, is becoming unmoored. Baker Mayfield saw at least 19 pressures for the second time in three weeks, and Bredeson and Haggard struggled mightily to generate movement in the run game.

Bucky Irving salvaged 63 yards thanks to six forced missed tackles and 50 yards after contact, but he was later spotted in a walking boot. If he's sidelined for any length of time, unless they plan to run directly behind Wirfs on every single play, Rachaad White and Sean Tucker are left at the mercy of whatever daylight this group of scrap parts can provide.

16. Minnesota Vikings (Last Week: 8)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Christian Darrisaw, LG Blake Brandel, C Michael Jurgens, RG Will Fries, RT Justin Skule

Apparently, the luck of the Irish is non-transferable to Vikings.

Rookie guard Donovan Jackson elected for wrist surgery after trying to gut it out for two weeks, Ryan Kelly sat out the second half with a concussion, and with Brian O'Neill going down after just 11 snaps, Justin Skule was back in session.

Despite big-time performances from Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, this was not a fun watch, with only 70 rushing yards, six sacks of backup Carson Wentz, and a game that never felt as close as the scoreboard suggested.

If neither Kelly nor Jurgens is cleared for action in London, the Vikings could be down to their third-string center against a ferocious Browns front.

The luck of the Brits isn't a thing, is it?

15. Chicago Bears (Last Week: 9)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Theo Benedet, LG Joe Thuney, C Drew Dalman, RG Jonah Jackson, RT Ozzy Trapilo

Theo Benedet's first career start, with Maxx Crosby lined up across from him, went about as well as expected: Crosby logged two tackles for loss, two batted passes, and an interception before halftime. Yet when Chicago finally benched a tackle, it wasn't Benedet.

Braxton Jones, who misplayed a 3rd-and-19 draw, got the hook late in the second quarter, with Benedet moving to the left side and rookie Ozzy Trapilo taking his place in front of Crosby on the right.

Things seemed to stabilize in the second half, but after Chicago spent big on the interior this offseason, their bookends are suddenly among the most questionable in the league.

14. Baltimore Ravens (Last Week: 13)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Joe Noteboom, LG Andrew Vorhees, C Tyler Linderbaum, RG Daniel Faalele, RT Roger Rosengarten

Few teams have been gutted by injuries quite like Baltimore, and the offensive line has not escaped the wrath. With All-Pro Ronnie Stanley leaving Sunday's game against Kansas City with an ankle injury, Joe Noteboom was tossed into the fire and wasted no time giving up three pressures on 30 pass-block snaps.

The group as a whole surrendered 18 pressures and three sacks while Derrick Henry was bottled up for a third straight week, again unable to top 50 yards, a streak of futility he hadn't endured since 2018.

With Lamar Jackson potentially sidelined by a hamstring issue, the line now has no choice but to reestablish its bully-ball identity if this offense is going to function with Henry as the focal point.

13. Carolina Panthers (Last Week: 15)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Ikem Ekwonu, LG Damien Lewis, C Cade Mays, RG Brady Christensen, RT Taylor Moton

Already down Robert Hunt, the Panthers lost Chandler Zavala to a knee injury and cycled through Brandon Walton before landing on Brady Christensen. That left them with a backup center and fourth-string guard against a Patriots front that thrives on interior pressure.

Yet, in a game they trailed almost start to finish, Carolina's offensive line held up admirably, allowing only 12 pressures and one sack, while paving the way for 129 rushing yards at 4.6 per carry.

It can be tough to distill too much from a game that got out of hand as quickly as this one, but for a line stitched together on the fly, this was their most competent performance to date.

12. New York Jets (Last Week: 16)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Olumuyiwa Fashanu, LG John Simpson, C Josh Myers, RG Joe Tippmann, RT Armand Membou

The Jets opened Monday night with a bruising, 13-play, 82-yard march, running the ball 11 times, only to do the most Jets thing possible and fumble at the Dolphins' five. The flashes of dominance undone by miscues fairly sum up the Jets' season to date.

The team ran for nearly 200 yards on the night, but Justin Fields absorbed 20 pressures and contributed to the fumble cause. This line is young and undeniably talented, but for a 0-4 team prone to mistakes, they'll need to make a sudden leap to "young and dominant" to carry the offense to its first victory.

11. Green Bay Packers (Last Week: 14)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Rasheed Walker, LG Jordan Morgan, C Elgton Jenkins, RG Sean Rhyan, RT Darian Kinnard

In the wake of Zach Tom's oblique injury, Darian Kinnard has bounced in and out of the lineup. It's time to keep him in. Across 119 snaps, he's PFF's third-highest graded run blocker, and in his first meaningful start, he swallowed up two defenders to create the seal that sprung Josh Jacobs' second touchdown.

Make that 2 for JJ 😤

— Green Bay Packers (@packers) September 29, 2025

Jordan Love faced a season-high 19 pressures, but that came on 47 dropbacks with overtime inflating the volume. Having now gone 0-1-1 over the past two weeks, the Packers might not be the steamroller they appeared to be out of the gates, but this offensive line is more than capable of keeping them in every contest and supporting fantasy pieces in both the run and pass games.

10. Jacksonville Jaguars (Last Week: 18)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Walker Little, LG Ezra Cleveland, C Robert Hainsey, RG Patrick Mekari, RT Anton Harrison

Injuries struck both right-side starters mid-game, but the Jaguars leaned into the scrappy, underdog identity that has made them a favorite in these rankings.

The makeshift unit allowed just four total pressures, kept Trevor Lawrence sack-free for the second time this season, and paved the way for 151 rushing yards at a workmanlike 4.7 per pop.

A season-high seven penalties, and lingering questions about Mekari and Harrison's availability moving forward put a bit of a damper on an otherwise successful showing. With a three-game gauntlet of the Chiefs, Seahawks, and Rams ahead, Jacksonville's depth is about to be stress-tested.

Tier 2- Brick and Mortar

9. Washington Commanders (Last Week: 10)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Laremy Tunsil, LG Chris Paul, C Tyler Biadasz, RG Andrew Wylie, RT Josh Conerly Jr.

With a backfield pieced together from a seventh-round rookie and a couple of career backups, Washington sits second only to Buffalo in rushing yards.

Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota's scrambling certainly juices the numbers, but even when filtering down to designed runs, the Commanders are still putting up 135.3 yards per game, which is a testament to the line's work in the trenches.

Reinforcements may be on their way. Starting right guard Sam Cosmi, the team's top run blocker last year, has had his practice window opened, and a strength could soon be growing stronger.

8. Los Angeles Rams (Last Week: 6)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Alaric Jackson, LG Justin Dedich, C Coleman Shelton, RG Kevin Dotson, RT Rob Havenstein

Matthew Stafford faced a season-high 20 pressures against the Colts but managed to throw for 375 yards and three scores. Most teams would fold under that kind of duress. Most teams don't have Puka Nacua.

Nacua's ability to separate immediately out of the blocks gives Stafford a reliable, low-ADoT lifeline that can quickly balloon to 170 yards.

The ground game was rather uninvolved thanks to the game script, but whenever pressed upon, this line keeps the Rams consistently ahead of the sticks and converts first downs. It hasn't always been artful, but the work being done by this unit has the Rams playing as one of the harder outs in the league.

7. Atlanta Falcons (Last Week: 11)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Jake Matthews, LG Matthew Bergeron, C Ryan Neuzil, RG Chris Lindstrom, RT Elijah Wilkinson

Bijan Robinson has earned an early bye. He's currently on pace for 350 touches, and there's no arguing with the logic of feeding your unicorn, especially when quarterback play has been uneven and your offensive line thrives on clearing space.

Atlanta is one of just a handful of teams to keep the same five linemen on the field for every snap this season, and that continuity shows in both their ground game and pass protection. The difference between above- and below-average play from Michael Penix Jr. is what has determined wins and losses through four games.

In victories, Penix has completed 70% of his passes with a 2-1 TD-to-INT ratio. In losses, he's under 58% with more picks than scores. If he can get things sorted out over the bye week, the infrastructure is in place for this team to make a run.

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

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Trent Williams, LG Connor Colby, C Jake Brendel, RG Dominick Puni, RT Colton McKivitz

Backup quarterbacks have exposed a number of shaky offensive lines this year. San Francisco isn't one of them. Half the Niners' offense has already been ruled out for Thursday night, including quarterback Brock Purdy.

With Purdy previously sidelined, Mac Jones enjoyed arguably the best two-game stretch of his career thanks to a unit that allowed only 17 total pressures across those contests. Trent Williams has been PFF's No. 3 overall lineman since Week 2, and the group as a whole ranks fifth in run blocking.

#Rams Jared Verse knows better than to talk smack with #49ers Trent Williams 😅 pic.twitter.com/Xd0RqdKVpT

— OurSF49ers (@OurSf49ers) October 1, 2025

Christian McCaffrey's absurd workload hasn't exploded into any monstrously productive weeks yet, but few things in fantasy currently feel more inevitable.

5. Indianapolis Colts (Last Week: 4)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Bernhard Raimann, LG Quenton Nelson, C Tanor Bortolini, RG Dalton Tucker, RT Braden Smith

The Colts' road graters hit their first pothole of the season in Week 4. With Matt Goncalves out, second-year man Dalton Tucker drew the start at right guard and got worked for five of Indy's season-high 18 pressures allowed. Mix in a season-low 85 rushing yards, and this was easily the unit's worst showing of 2025.

Normally, the sheer talent and physicality of this squad will allow them to survive a bad outing against most opponents. Against an elite team like the Rams, though, they couldn’t hold back their first loss of the year. This still profiles as one of the league's nastiest units, but as with most groups, the margin for error disappears fast when they're less than full strength.

4. Detroit Lions (Last Week: 5)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Taylor Decker, LG Christian Mahogany, C Graham Glasgow, RG Tate Ratledge, RT Penei Sewell

The Browns had allowed just 172 rushing yards and one touchdown through three weeks. The Lions nearly matched that in one afternoon. Jahmyr Gibbs gashed Cleveland for 6.1 yards per carry, proving once again that he's matchup-proof when running behind this line.

The pass protection has wobbled a bit of late, with 25 total pressures over the last two weeks, but Jared Goff hasn't been sacked since Week 1.

Detroit wasn't able to replicate its Week 3 fireworks, but it takes a special group to make the league's stingiest run defense look ordinary.

Tier 1- Steel-Reinforced Concrete

3. Buffalo Bills (Last Week: 3)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Dion Dawkins, LG David Edwards, C Connor McGovern, RG O'Cyrus Torrence, RT Ryan Van Demark

The great debate when building an offensive line is whether it's best to anchor with an elite pass-blocking tackle or stack the deck with maulers who win in the trenches. Buffalo has no time for such trivialities, so it just went with both.

Dion Dawkins has been one of the league's premier blindside protectors for nearly a decade, while the unit as a whole currently grades out as PFF's top run-blocking group. They're also the only team sitting inside the top five in both run and pass-blocking.

The results speak for themselves, as James Cook is pacing toward a 20-touchdown season, and Josh Allen is already rehearsing his next MVP speech.

2. Denver Broncos (Last Week: 2)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Garett Bolles, LG Ben Powers, C Luke Wattenberg, RG Quinn Meinerz, RT Mike McGlinchey

Did Luke Wattenberg rear-end referee Alex Moore on the way into the stadium or something? Because five penalties, hitting on three unique infractions, felt kinda personal.

Outside of that little comedy of errors, this line was nearly flawless. Denver allowed just seven pressures, surrendered zero sacks, and paved the way for J.K. Dobbins' 101-yard day, the first 100-yard rushing performance by a Bronco since Latavius Murray in 2022.

Bolles continues to play like a man possessed, Meinerz is trending back into All-Pro territory, and if they can just keep Wattenberg out of traffic court, this front might be unstoppable.

1. Philadelphia Eagles (Last Week: 1)

Week 4 Snap Leaders: LT Jordan Mailata, LG Landon Dickerson, C Cam Jurgens, RG Tyler Steen, RT Lane Johnson

After a down week, by his own Herculean standards, Jordan Mailata rebounded by grading out as PFF's top pass blocker, which means he's been the highest-rated run or pass-blocker in three of four weeks. If Josh Allen's MVP candidacy has a single challenger, it might be the Australian tackle out of Philly.

Meanwhile, the tush push has evolved into such a psychological weapon that Saquon Barkley walked in for an untouched score on a fake so convincing that a few Buccaneers players are still jumping on the pile.

Beyond their raw dominance, this unit is also absurdly disciplined, with just six penalties all year, and only four of those upheld.

No blown assignments, no mental errors, no trading for Texans backups. This is the gold standard of NFL offensive lines.
