2017 Preseason Power Rankings

Unscripted NFL Power Rankings
2017 Preseason

Previous Power Rankings:

Offseason, Post-Super Bowl

(In addition to the Rankings, you can also view my way-too-early 2017 Season Predictions here.)

Preseason Note: These rankings are based on an evaluation of teams as they exist now, in light of free agency, the draft, and training camps. They are not a projection of who will win the next SuperBowl, or even who the best teams will be in Week 1. Instead, these rankings reflect current standings in the preseason or, in other words, who would win if the teams played today.
