2024 NFL RANKINGS: QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | Defense
AFC North
Baltimore Ravens (12-5)
Cincinnati Bengals (11-6)
Pittsburgh Steelers (10-7)
Cleveland Browns (7-10)
The Ravens got stronger offensively by adding Derrick Henry to their rushing attack and will be fine defensively despite losing some staff and personnel with plenty of core pieces. Reigning MVP Lamar Jackson will keep thriving in the new offense to hold off the revived Bengals with a healthy Joe Burrow. Mike Tomlin and the Steelers having a winning record is a lock, and their defense plus much better QB options say playoffs, too. The Browns are the odd team out in a tough division with the most offensive questions.
AFC South
Houston Texans (12-5)
Tennessee Titans (9-8)
Indianapolis Colts (7-10)
Jacksonville Jaguars (7-10)
This division is very hard to predict, as the Jaguars and Texans won as mild surprises the past two seasons. Houston looks stronger around C.J. Stroud and Tennessee's overhaul will lead to a surprise upswinging record with Will Levis and rookie coach Brian Callahan. The Colts will have a few transitional lumps, while the Jaguars might need to face a tough decision on Doug Pederson after the season.
AFC West
Kansas City Chiefs (15-2)
Los Angeles Chargers (10-7)
Las Vegas Raiders (5-12)
Denver Broncos (5-12)
Two things for certain in this division: The Chiefs will dominate again, and Jim Harbaugh will pull off an inspiring quick turnaround. Kansas City exudes another big season toward a potential second Super Bowl repeat, while Los Angeles has favorable elements to be a lot more competitive. The Raiders will see their bridge at QB break at some point, and the Broncos' bigger concern might be defense.
NFC East
Philadelphia Eagles (12-5)
Washington Commanders (9-8)
Dallas Cowboys (8-9)
New York Giants (5-12)
The Eagles have rebooted offensively and defensively with improved schemes and more reliable young talent. They'll go back to humming with Jalen Hurts. Jayden Daniels also will benefit from great coaching in his rookie season to be a dynamic dual threat in Washington. The Cowboys need more attention for their lack of offseason improvements and key brain drain with Dan Quinn now leading the Commanders instead. The Giants are headed to draft Daniel Jones' replacement high.
NFC North
Detroit Lions (13-4)
Green Bay Packers (10-7)
Chicago Bears (9-8)
Minnesota Vikings (5-12)
The Lions should go from breakout NFC runners-up to a dominant, wire-to-wire team to take this division again easily with fewer holes. The Packers will be once again powered well by the brilliant offensive coaching of Matt LaFleur pumping up Jordan Love. Caleb Williams will duel Daniels for OROY all season while also leading his team to a wild card, and the Vikings wait for J.J. McCarthy in 2025.
NFC South
Atlanta Falcons (9-8)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-10)
New Orleans Saints (6-11)
Carolina Panthers (4-13)
Kirk Cousins flips the Falcons from their 7-10 limbo to finally take advantage of great weapons in a much more dynamic, pass-heavier offense, with the defense also responding well to Raheem Morris. That causes the Bucs to slide a bit with Baker Mayfield, while the vibes with Derek Carr and the Saints stink for a Dennis Allen lame-duck season. The Panthers look a lot better offensively with Bryce Young, but their D now needs work.
NFC West
49ers 14-3
Rams 9-8
Seahawks 6-11
Cardinals 4-13
