Updated NFL Power Rankings: New 1-32 poll, plus each team's rookie of the year

Updated NFL Power Rankings: New 1-32 poll, plus each team's rookie of the year

By NFL Nationwww.espn.com - TOP

We're almost at the finish line of the 2025 NFL regular season , making this our second-to-last NFL Power Rankings of the year. There was plenty of movement near the top of the list after both No. 1 seeds (the Rams and Broncos) lost in Week 16 . Plus, the bottom of the list shuffled after dominant wins by the Saints and Titans. In addition to the rankings, we asked our NFL Nation reporters to pick the rookie of the year for each team. From top quarterbacks to dynamic defenders, which first-year players stood out from the rest? Who could run away with the Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year awards? Let's get into all that, starting with a different team from last week's rankings . Our power panel of more than 80 writers, editors and TV personalities evaluated how NFL teams stack up against one another, ranking them from 1 to 32. Jump to a team: ARI | ATL | BAL | BUF | CAR | CHI | CIN CLE | DAL | DEN | DET | GB | HOU | IND JAX | KC | LAC | LAR | LV | MIA | MIN NE | NO | NYG | NYJ | PHI | PIT | SF SEA | TB | TEN | WSH 1. Seattle Seahawks (12-3) Week 16 result: Beat the Rams 38-37 (OT) Week 16 ranking: 2 Rookie of the year: Left guard Grey Zabel Zabel was the Seahawks' highest-rated interior offensive lineman prospect, and the 18th pick has shown why. He ranks first among all guards in run block win rate while starting all 15 games. This distinction could just as easily go to second-round pick Nick Emmanwori , who has the third-best odds for NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year (+750 at DraftKings) as an almost-every-down playmaker at nickelback. The tie goes to Zabel because while Emmanwori missed three games and most of a fourth, Seattle's left guard has played almost 99% of the team's offensive snaps. -- Brady Henderson 2. Los Angeles Rams (11-4) Week 16 result: Lost to the Seahawks 38-37 (OT) Week 16 ranking: 1 Rookie of the year: Tight end Terrance Ferguson Ferguson, a second-round pick, joined a crowded group of tight ends with the Rams. He was a healthy scratch in Weeks 3 and 4 but was active in Week 5 while starter Tyler Higbee was dealing with a hip injury. Since then, Ferguson has 9 catches for 177 yards and 2 touchdowns. He has been especially important as the offense has found its identity in 13 personnel (three tight ends). "He's going to be a hell of a player, and he's becoming a hell of a player before our eyes," coach Sean McVay said earlier this month. -- Sarah Barshop 3. Denver Broncos (12-3) Week 16 result: Lost to the Jaguars 34-20 Week 16 ranking: 3 Rookie of the year: Running back RJ Harvey Harvey's 11 total touchdowns (seven rushing, four receiving), lead the team and...
