All 32 NFL teams in 2018, ranked



[ad_1]

We classified the defenses. Now, it's time to see how the teams will manage on the other side of the ball in 2018. Here are our rankings of the 32 NFL offenses for the coming seasons …

32. Buffalo Bills

Buffalo star LeSean McCoy could be suspended. In the past nine months, the Bills have lost three-fifths of their offensive line, which seemed horrible during the pre-season. Starting quarterback Nathan Peterman started 49 assists in the NFL; five of them were intercepted – all in one half. The No. 1 receiver is a slow and incoherent runner who can not catch. Other than that, the bill infraction should be perfect.

31. Colts of Indianapolis

It's a good thing that the Colts did not put much attention on Andrew Luck's shoulders after losing a year of play by throwing a football. What is it? His offensive line is terrible, his starting running back is Christine Michael, his home body may have gotten worse since the last time he played and he learned a new attack? Yes

30. New York Jets

There are many ways to finish this sentence: The Jets attack could be decent if …

… Sam Darnold is as good as he looked during the pre-season.

… Terrelle Pryor and Quincy Enunwa are both returning to their 2016 form, joining Jermaine Kearse and Robbie Anderson in a solid body of receivers.

… The offensive line is not the disaster that it was a season ago.

You had the idea.

29. Ravens of Baltimore

Joe Flacco managed to push Lamar Jackson back in the pre-season, which is probably a good sign for the Ravens' prospects in 2018. Jackson seemed as raw as we expected and was not ready to start a match of the NFL, while Flacco played legitimately well in pre-season. Some told him that he was motivated by the team that had recruited a quarter in the first round, but it probably has more to do with his health for the first time in years. He also has a better receiver body with Michael Crabtree who provides him with a reliable possession receiver and the fast John Brown who looks like his former during the pre-season. The race match, led by Alex Collins, coming out of an impressive first season in Baltimore, should also make things easier. This attack may not be very good, but it should be decent, which is all that Baltimore needs to make a playoff series with this defense.

28. Denver Broncos

Let's start with the good: The Broncos receiving corps could be among the best in the league in 2018, and the offensive line should be better than a year ago. It's just about everything.

Now, the bad: Many assume that the situation of the quarterback will also improve, but are we sure that Case Keenum is much better than Trevor Siemian? The two back quarters share the same weaknesses: overwhelming weapons and reckless decision-making. Rookie RB Royce Freeman may well be a fantastic football sleeper, but we've seen a lot of disappointment in Denver in recent seasons.

27. Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars coaches have done everything to protect Blake Bortles in 2017, and the team should be better equipped to do so this season after adding All-Pro Andrew Norwell to the offensive line. He will open more holes for Leonard Fournette, who, once again, will be invited to race in heavy boxes. There are physically gifted receivers on the list, but none of them is particularly reliable. Marqise Lee's late-season injury did not help.

26. Oakland Raiders

Nobody knows what to expect from Jon Gruden after a 10-year break. He certainly has enough work with him to succeed. Derek Carr could be overpaid but he's solid behind the center. Amari Cooper is expected to rebound after a season of injury. The halves played well in August. And the offensive line is among the best in football. There is a good offense somewhere. We do not know if Gruden is the man who organized everything.

25. Cardinals of Arizona

David Johnson is back! The Cardinals referee was defeated in 2016 before a wrist injury that ended his 2017 season in Week 1. Unfortunately, the offensive line remains an interrogation point, and the receiving corps does not will not threaten the defenses. do not leave him much room to run. At the very least, the situation of the quarters is much better. Sam Bradford will provide a good serve to receivers Larry Fitzgerald and rookie Christian Kirk (there is not much behind them), and when he will inevitably be injured, Josh Rosen is there to intervene. The rookie quarter impressed during the pre-season.

24. Houston Texans

Deshaun Watson is back with another year of experience in the Bill O'Brien attack, which was much better with the underlying Clemson product. But it will not be easy for the tough quarterback to stay healthy behind what might be the league's worst offensive line. Watson's receiving corps is not deep, but DeAndre Hopkins is an elite catcher No. 1 and Will Fuller's speed terrifies the opposing side. Lamar Miller is a solid back, but nothing more. And behind this offensive line, he is unlikely to make big numbers in what could be his last season in Houston.

23. Miami Dolphins

There was a lot of talk about the Dolphins replacing Ryan Tannehill in the off-season, which made little sense. Although it never really broke (IS IT YEAR?!?!), It is a solid franchise-level quarterback that was producing like a quarter higher – at least statistically – the last time we saw it on an NFL pitch. With Danny Amendola and Albert Wilson added to the receivers' corps, which might seem like an average offensive line – which would be a tremendous upgrade from what Tannehill has been playing – and a handsome duo of Kenyan Drake and former Frank Gore Adam Gase and Tannehill have no excuses in 2018.

22. Cincinnati Bengals

As was the case in the era of Andy Dalton, the success of this attack boils down to the offensive line game, which was a complete mess in 2017. There is more than enough Weapons with AJ Green, John Ross and Tyler Eifert make up the body of the receivers, and Joe Mixon and Giovani Bernard form an intriguing pair. Dalton has never been good under pressure, but may look like a quarter of a franchise behind a good line. Additions from Cordy Glenn and Billy Price are expected to provide the second-round pick of 2011 with a little more time and space in the pocket, which could bring this offense back to its 2015 form.

21. Cleveland Browns

The Browns certainly have the pieces to mount a high level attack, but there are a lot of question marks. Tyrod Taylor is Cleveland's best quarterback for a while, but he is a mediocre mediator. The runners' group is deep, but Carlos Hyde never seems to stay healthy. Josh Gordon must be available for the receiving body to really work. And then there's the dynamic between Hue Jackson and Todd Haley, who could quickly move south. If most things break well for this unit, however, that will mark many points.

20. Seattle Seahawks

It will be Russell Wilson against the world once again in 2018. The offensive line may not be the disaster it has been, but it is still not good. The recipient body has the potential to be better than a year ago, but question marks appear in the depth chart. Doug Baldwin is injured, Seattle is still waiting for Tyler Lockett to break and Brandon Marshall has not finished a healthy season as the Seahawks were in the AFC. This could be a slight exaggeration, but you understand. The team (stupidly) used a first-round pick on a running back who is already injured and who does not even have to start. Unless Chris Carson is a Pro Bowl starter, Wilson, who has been a lean quarterback in recent seasons, will be invited to coach the team on points.

19. Titans from Tennessee

Marcus Mariota was not as bad as his 2017 stats line suggests. The Titans using an offensive coordinator whose game notebook was written at the turn of the century should help the fourth-year quarterback to show his true talent in 2018. If his young receiving body takes the next step. It starts with Corey Davis, who was taken with a first choice in the project last year. Tennessee needs another reliable outlet for Mariota other than TE Delanie Walker. The RB Dion Lewis offers an option to the young quarterback. He spells Derrick Henry by the way. These two should have a lot of leeway behind a good underperformed Titans line last season.

18. New York Giants

The Giants have seen the left side of their offensive line, but that does not necessarily mean it will be obviously better than in recent years, since LT Nate Solder and rookie LG Hernandez are not sure. This will certainly improve the stability of the players Eli Manning must work with after the team has drafted Saquon Barkley and Odell Beckham was injured. Sterling Shepard and Evan Engram give him good third and fourth options. Can the aging quarterback enjoy it?

17. Chicago Bear

While Matt Nagy is hailed as Sean McVay this year, it may be necessary to slow down a bit there. How often do coaches like Sean McVay appear? And there is a glaring difference between the two: McVay was an interlocutor long before he was hired by the Rams. Nagy did not assume the duties of player until the last month of the 2017 season. Whatever the case may be, the program will be an upgrade to everything the Bears used under John Fox. This should help Mitch Trubisky in what we plan to be a breakup year. He is behind a good line with dynamic pitchers and, more importantly, he will be pitching NFL receivers this season. If Nagy is up to it, the Bears will surpass this ranking.

16. Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys' great offensive line, the foundation of this unit, may have to settle for "just good" in 2018, with the future of C Travis Frederick, who had been diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease. It is difficult to know if he will return during the 2018 season, leaving the line without his anchor in the middle. The Cowboys are hoping their absence will not affect Dak Prescott as much as Tyron Smith's and Zeke Elliott's absences have affected the sophomore quarter in 2017. Elliott, one of the league's best rounds, should be in the lineup for the 16 games this season. which would make things easier on Prescott. This receiving body, on the other hand, will not do it. The best receiver of Prescott could be rookie Michael Gallup, who looked fantastic in pre-season despite an irregular service from the QB Cooper Rush.

15. Washington Redskins

Kirk Cousins ​​was replaced by Alex Smith, which could be a net positive for an attack that had so much trouble running the ball. Getting the healthy offensive line will obviously help in this regard, but the same goes for Smith's mobility. Jay Gruden has already mentioned that Smith will allow the Redskins to read more zones in 2018. This threat will also boost the play-off game. Health is obviously the big concern here. The line had problems staying healthy, as was the receiving body. If Josh Doctson and Jordan Reed can stay out of the injury report, it should be a very good attack. Adrian Peterson's signature is fascinating, but the odds that it's a real factor of difference at his age are slim.

14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

With Jameis Winston suspended for three games, we will not see this offense until week 4. The intrigues have not changed since the last season: the offensive line still stinks, the return position remains unstable after Ronald Jones Winston's disappointing pre-season needs to be more precise and make better decisions. But the receiving body is absolutely loaded. Mike Evans, DeSan Jackson, Chris Godwin, O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate are the best target groups in the league. If Winston is ready to go to the next step, the passing game will be hard to stop.

13. Carolina Panthers

True Story: When I typed the header of this section, I first wrote "Cam Newton" instead of "Carolina Panthers". That's a mistake because Cam was forced to carry this offense since the team's draft in 2011. It's apparently the best support team that Newton has worked with, but Devin Funchess is always his number one receiver. Behind him are Torrey Smith and rookie D.J. Moore Reserve Curtis Samuel could be Newton's best receiver. It is not a good thing. Greg Olsen's return to good health and Christian McCaffrey's second year should help reduce the pressure on Newton, at least in part. This offensive line will certainly not help. Not with the departure of LT Matt Kalil, who is not very good, and who should miss a month or two. The line could be a disaster. But Newton's underestimated genius will keep the offensive afloat. If Carolina gets a break season of one or two players, this offense could look like that of 2015.

12. Minnesota Vikings

Kirk Cousins ​​is an upgrade from Case Keenum, but this does not necessarily guarantee that the Vikings will get better production outside the quarter. Keenum played in his head in 2017. Especially under pressure, Cousins ​​has had difficulties throughout his career. This could be a major problem behind a suspicious line. Fortunately, Minnesota is in charge of positions with receivers Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs on the outside and Dalvin Cook and Latavius ​​Murray on the outside. TE Kyle Rudolph provides a tight-tipped red zone threat. This unit, which was so successful in 2017, lost its architect Pat Shurmur. He was replaced by former Eagles coach John DeFilippo.

11. Los Angeles Chargers

Philip Rivers may not have a lot of pass protection – although his ability to call in has a bit of a soft spot – but he has a lot to do with the passing game. Keenan Allen is a silky road racer who is dangerous with the ball in these hands. Travis Benjamin can not really take but he will play. Mike Williams begins to shine the potential that has brought him into the top 10. And, oh yes, Antonio Gates is back to replace the wounded Hunter Henry. The Bolts also have two good backs in Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler.

10. Detroit Lions

Maybe it is the year we can stop pushing the story that Matthew Stafford is carrying this offense. Of course, the Lions do not have a lot of play – even if it could change this year after the team has recruited RB Kerryon Johnson and LG Frank Ragnow – but you will not find a more underrated receiver duo than Marvin Jones and Golden Tate. Kenny Golladay, who made the jump in his second year, could propel the recipient body to the top in 2018.

9. San Francisco 49ers

The attack was much better before RB Jerick McKinnon tore his ACL, but tinkering with a good racing game was never a problem for Kyle Shanahan. An improved offensive line with C Weston Richburg and RT Mike McGlinchey will help you. We can not expect Jimmy Garoppolo to win every game he starts (or can we do it?) And his chance of interception is due to a regression, but he seems to be a beginner in a group diversified recipients. Shanahan calling games, Jimmy G will not have to do a lot of work.

8. Kansas City Chiefs

The ceiling of this attack is ridiculously high, but the floor is also much lower than a year ago, Patrick Mahomes succeeding Alex Smith. Mahomes has a lot of weapons to work, including Sammy Watkins, Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce and Kareem Hunt, and he also plays in one of the league's most innovative offenses. But the offensive line is mediocre and Mahomes' decision making and accuracy have been inconsistent, at best, during the pre-season. If he can clean some of his problems, this offense will skyrocket.

7. Green Bay Packers

The Packers may be too high on this list considering the problems this offense has had in recent years, but Aaron Rodgers remains AARON RODGERS, and we've never seen him working with a weapon like Jimmy Graham. The offensive line is not as deep as it was a few years ago, but the tackle pair of David Bakhtiari and Bryan Bulaga is as good as possible. Davante Adams and Randall Cobb are closer to the "league average" than average, but Rodgers will do everything possible.

6. Atlanta Falcons

We all know that talent is there for a record offense. That same group of players beat the league in 2016 with Kyle Shanahan calling the shots. Steve Sarkisian's sequel was not a disaster, but it was a big disappointment. The Falcons have everything in attack: a smart and precise quarterback who can make things happen when a room breaks down (Matt Ryan); two halves who can cram teams on the ground or in the pass (Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman); a superhuman catcher (Julio Jones); an exciting rookie with racing skills on the opposite side of him (Calvin Ridley); a versatile veteran receiver to complement these two (Mohamed Sanu); and a deep and talented offensive line. This attack is even deeper than that which broke the record that led Atlanta to a 28-3 lead at Super Bowl LI. Coaching is the only thing holding him back.

5. Philadelphia Eagles

The way Carson Wentz bounced back after destroying his ACL at the end of the 2017 season will obviously determine how good this offense will be. But even if it does not return to full strength, the Eagles will still score many points thanks to an elite offensive line, an eclectic group of running backs, a group of deep receivers and the incentive system. from Doug Pederson. We saw how this support team could go back when Nick Foles destroyed Vikings and Patriots' defenses on their way to a Super Bowl victory.

4. Los Angeles Rams

We saw coaches burst onto the scene with an innovative attack, but they eventually fainted once the defenses received a little film. But Sean McVay is different. After all, his fouls have come up against defenses since he was offensive coordinator of the Redskins. And it's not like the Rams escape in 2017 was about X's and O's. Los Angeles has a lot of guys on this offense. Todd Gurley is the star of the unit. Everything is built around his well-balanced game. Jared Goff left some field shots last season, but he is improving and could be ready to play MVP numbers with an improved receivers body, now with Brandin Cooks.

3. Pittsburgh Steelers

As foolish as it may seem, the game of quarterbacks could be the only thing that keeps this offense at the top of the list. Not because Ben Roethlisberger is not a big quarterback. It is. There are too many times a season that he does not play as such. This inconsistency usually costs the Steelers one or two games, which inevitably costs them the field advantage in the playoffs. If Big Ben finally manages to organize a brilliant season, this offense could rewrite the NFL record book. He has the best reception corps in the league led by Antonio Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster. LeonVeon Bell is the most dynamic in football (he will come back eventually, right?) And James Conner seems to be a good support. And the offensive line is not only good, but it has played together for almost half a decade. This kind of continuity is rare in today's NFL.

2. Patriots of New England

The Patriots have the best quarterback ever, the tightest end of all time, one of the league's best slot machines and the best offensive coordinator in the NFL. Of course, there are interrogation points on the left, but the offensive line is solid in the other four places. There is no receiver that stretches on the ground, but Tom Brady has been on this road many times. And there may be no turning back (although rookie Sony Michel can play this role in good health), but New England certainly has a group of talented riders who can do it all.

1. Saints of New Orleans

There is no offensive in the league with fewer holes than that of New Orleans. The Saints do not have a tight end and Max Unger is on the wrong side, but when a former Pro Bowl center is your "weakest link", then your attack is rather stacked. Drew Brees showed no signs of slowing down in 2017, even though the team asked him less after Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram emerged as the best backfield in the league. Mike Thomas gives the team the real No. 1 receiver he never had at the time of Sean Payton. Ted Ginn still can not catch, but the secondaries fear his ability to stretch. And rookie WR Tre'Quan Smith could give Payton and Brees another tool to torture defenses. As if they needed it.
