How to Read the Rankings
Talent Is Only Part of the Story
Talent matters, but depth is what keeps a season from falling apart when injuries hit. Roster Strength grades the full team, not just the biggest names. The PFM Team Score and overall NFL rank show whether the quarterback, coaching staff and recent play are good enough to turn that roster into a contender.
