NFL Offense Rankings 2026/27: Which Teams Look Potent Offensively Ahead of New Season?

On this page, we offer a ranking of all 32 NFL offenses that will be updated weekly throughout the 2026-27 season. These rankings are not purely based on stats and are subject to change from one week to the next.

• The Jets hope that Geno Smith and two first-round picks can improve a passing attack that finished last in the NFL in 2025

• The Kansas City offense will open 2026 with a healthy Patrick Mahomes and a new running back after the Chiefs signed Kenneth Walker

• The Rams are led by reigning MVP Matthew Stafford, who led the NFL in passing yards and touchdowns last season

Ranking All 32 NFL Offenses

The 2026-27 NFL season is almost upon us. That means you can forget (almost) everything about last season. Every team gets a fresh slate, and given all of the roster moves during the offseason, last season’s performance doesn’t mean all that much. With that in mind, we have put together a preseason ranking of all 32 NFL offenses, as we try to project how good each team will be at scoring points during the upcoming season.

32. Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders scored the fewest points in the NFL last year, so they have nowhere to go but up. A couple of additions to the offensive line should help improve the league’s worst rushing attack. One has to think that Ashton Jeanty will be more productive with better blocking in front of him. However, there are no proven difference-makers at receiver outside of tight end Brock Bowers. That doesn’t bode well with either rookie Fernando Menzoda or 38-year-old Kirk Cousins playing quarterback.

31. Cleveland Browns

The Browns made an uncharacteristically good choice this offseason by remaking their offensive line to help get things turned around on that side of the ball. That should help improve a lackluster rushing attack and keep their quarterbacks from taking 51 sacks like they did last year. Unfortunately, there might not be a good choice between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders, so it’ll be up to the offensive line and the Cleveland rushing attack to carry the team.

• Next Game: at Jaguars, Sunday, September 13 @ 1:00 p.m. EST

30. Miami Dolphins

After parting ways with Tua Tagovailoa, the Dolphins are banking on Malik Willis, who has just six career starts, to be the answer they need at quarterback. To be fair, Willis looked good in a small sample size with the Packers. But being a full-time starter is a different challenge. Plus, outside of De’Von Achane, it’s hard to get excited about Miami’s contingent of skill players.

• Next Game: at Raiders, Sunday, September 13 @ 4:25 p.m. EST

29. Arizona Cardinals

Arizona deserves some credit for a successful offseason. The Cardinals brought in some new faces along the offensive line and have arguably the deepest contingent of running backs after signing Tyler Allgeier and drafting Jeremiyah Love. However, it’s hard not to think that they have a limited ceiling wth Jacoby Brissett projected as the starting quarterback. He’s 20-45 in his career as a starter, including 1-11 in Arizona last year.

• Next Game: at Chargers, Sunday, September 13 @ 4:25 p.m. EST

28. New York Jets

What year is it? We ask because Geno Smith is starting for the Jets. In theory, the Jets have nothing to lose after finishing last in the league in passing yards in 2025. Smith aside, keeping Breece Hall and adding both wide receiver Omar Cooper and tight end Kenyon Sadiq in the first round of the draft should provide an immediate boost, with Garrett Wilson still the focal point. If Smith somehow has something left in the tank, there’s a chance the Jets will have a borderline competent offense this year.

• Next Game: at Titans, Sunday, September 13 @ 1:00 p.m. EST

27. New York Giants

The hype surrounding Jaxson Dart is giving the Giants hope, although there are plenty of lingering questions. There’s no guarantee that Malik Nabers will be fully healthy for the start of the season, inspiring the Giants to sign five new wide receivers during the offseason, hoping that something sticks. Darnell Mooney should contribute, but can JuJu Smith-Schuster jumpstart his career with the G-Men? On the bright side, Cam Skattebo should return to full health and help a rushing attack that ranked fifth in the NFL last year.

• Next Game: vs Cowboys, Sunday, September 13 @ 8:20 p.m. EST

26. Tennessee Titans

The Titans scored the third-fewest points in the NFL last season, so improvement feels inevitable. Cam Ward did show some progress late in the season, so there is some hope. The Titans also added Wan’Dale Robinson and some reinforcements along the offensive line during the offseason, while also using the fourth-overall pick on wide receiver Carnell Tate. But they still need Ward to take a big step forward in his development.

• Next Game: vs Jets, Sunday, September 13 @ 1:00 p.m. EST

25. Minnesota Vikings

It turns out letting Sam Darnold go was a bad move because two years later the Vikings have a three-way quarterback battle. On the bright side, Aaron Jones is still a steady running back when he’s healthy, and there’s no denying the talent in the wide receiver group, which is led by Justin Jefferson. If they can find the right quarterback, the Vikings could have a competent offense this year, although there are no guarantees.

• Next Game: vs Packers, Sunday, September 13 @ 4:25 p.m. EST

24. Carolina Panthers

Bryce Young got Carolina to the playoffs last season. But the Panthers also averaged a meager 18.3 points per game during the regular season. They also saw 1,000-yard rusher Rico Dowdle leave in free agency. While Young has good chemistry with Tetairoa McMillan, there are plenty of lingering questions with the Carolina offense.

• Next Game: vs Bears, Sunday, September 13 @ 1:00 p.m. EST

23. Indianapolis Colts

Don’t forget that a healthy Daniel Jones got the Colts off to a 7-1 start last season. Having Jonathan Taylor in the backfield is a big help as well. Of course, the Colts need to hope that Jones can get healthy and pick up where he left off last year. They also have to replace Michael Pittman, so the Indy offense may not be able to hit the ground running to open the new season.

• Next Game: vs Ravens, Sunday, September 13 @ 1:00 p.m. EST

22. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

For the first time in more than a decade, the Tampa offense will be without Mike Evans. Even with the emergence of Emeka Egbuka last year, the Bucs may not realize how much they’ll miss Evans. They still need complementary receiving options to emerge and more out of their running game, with last year’s leading rusher Bucky Irving gaining just 3.4 yards per carry.

• Next Game: at Bengals, Sunday, September 13 @ 1:00 p.m. EST

21. Atlanta Falcons

Between Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa, there are questions about the health of both Atlanta quarterbacks. With Bijan Robinson, Drake London and Kyle Pitts, the Falcons have the skill players to put together an average or better offense. But whether or not they have the right quarterback, or even a quarterback who can stay healthy, remains a huge question heading into 2026.

• Next Game: at Steelers, Sunday, September 13 @ 1:00 p.m. EST

20. New Orleans Saints 

After averaging just 18 points per game last season, the Saints have a chance to make big improvements offensively in 2026. Keep in mind that New Orleans ended last season on a four-game winning streak with Tyler Shough at quarterback. The addition of Travis Etienne should improve one of the league’s worst rushing attacks, making things a little easier for Shough, as he continues his development.

• Next Game: at Lions, Sunday, September 13 @ 1:00 p.m. EST

19. Washington Commanders

If Jayden Daniels can stay healthy, the Washington offense should make big strides following a lost 2025 season. The Commanders still had a top-notch rushing attack last year, and they’ve added Rachaad White to complement Jacory Croskey-Merritt in the backfield. On the downside, there doesn’t seem to be a clear No. 2 receiving target behind Terry McLaurin, so we may not see Daniels pick up where he left off before the injury.

• Next Game: at Eagles, Sunday, September 13 @ 4:25 p.m. EST

18. Green Bay Packers

The Packers didn’t add much offensively during the offseason. They also lost Dontayvion Wicks and Romeo Doubs, who led the team in receiving last year. There were times last year when Jordan Love looked like an elite quarterback. But without any meaningful additions, it’ll be up to him to carry the Green Bay offense in 2026.

• Next Game: at Vikings, Sunday, September 13 @ 4:25 p.m. EST

17. San Francisco 49ers

It’s fair to be bullish on the 49ers after Brock Purdy played just nine games last year. In those nine games, he nearly set a career-high for interceptions, which is also a bad omen. Christian McCaffrey still gives San Francisco huge upside, but he’s a perpetual injury concern. Adding Christian Kirk and the aging Mike Evans to remake the receiving corps may not move the needle much.

• Next Game: vs Rams, Thursday, September 10 @ 8:35 p.m. EST

16. Pittsburgh Steelers

Aaron Rodgers is running it back in Pittsburgh, but are the Steelers rolling the dice by putting everything on the back of a 42-year-old quarterback? That being said, trading for Michael Pittman and signing Rico Dowdle were both positive steps forward for the Pittsburgh offense. You can’t say that Rodgers doesn’t have a good supporting cast around him.

• Next Game: vs Falcons, Sunday, September 13 @ 1:00 p.m. EST

15. Baltimore Ravens

Most of Baltimore’s offseason was spent trying to upgrade the offensive line. That should help protect Lamar Jackson and open even more holes for Derrick Henry, who had nearly 1,600 rushing yards in 2025. The problem is the Ravens need someone other than Zay Flowers to be productive in the passing game. Until that happens, the Baltimore offense has a ceiling.

• Next Game: at Colts, Sunday, September 13 @ 1:00 p.m. EST

14. Los Angeles Chargers

His inability to win big games aside, Justin Herbert can sling it with the best of them. The offensive line also got an upgrade, which should help keep Herbert from taking 54 sacks the way he did last year. Also, don’t sleep on the backfield tandem of Kimani Vidal and Omarion Hampton, or a contingent of tight ends led by Oronde Gadsden. All of the pieces are there for Herbert to lead the Chargers to big things in 2026.

• Next Game: vs Cardinals, Sunday, September 13 @ 4:25 p.m. EST

13. Denver Broncos

Trading for Jaylen Waddle is just what the Broncos needed. They now have two legitimate stars at wide receiver, and a nice contingent of complementary receivers. The backfield isn’t spectacular, but if J.K. Dobbins can stay healthy, the Broncos will be in good shape. From there, it’s all about how Bo Nix comes back from his unfortunate postseason injury and what he does to take that next step.

• Next Game: at Chiefs, Monday, September 14 @ 8:20 p.m. EST

12. Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia offense underwent substantial changes during the offseason. A.J. Brown is gone, replaced by the addition of Dontayvion Wicks, Elijah Moore, and Marquise Brown. The Eagles also used their top two draft picks on offensive skill players: wide receiver Makai Lemon and tight end Eli Stowers. If the offensive line stays healthy, Jalen Hurts has everything he needs to make the Philly offense one of the best in the league, including Saquon Barkley, who can still be a difference-maker at age 29.

• Next Game: vs Commanders, Sunday, September 13 @ 4:25 p.m. EST

11. Houston Texans

C.J. Stroud still hasn’t taken a step forward after a brilliant rookie season. If anything, he’s regressed some the past two years. The good news is he’s only 24, so a big step forward in 2026 wouldn’t be that hard to believe. Trading for David Montgomery this offseason gave Houston a much-needed upgrade at running back. The Texans also put huge emphasis on the offensive line during the offseason, which should help Stroud be at his best.

• Next Game: vs Bills, Sunday, September 13 @ 1:00 p.m. EST

10. Chicago Bears

Expectations are high for Caleb Williams and the Chicago offense this season. However, Williams has to survive the Madden curse and the loss of DJ Moore. Chicago’s running game remains stable with D’Andre Swift. But will Kalif Raymond and other players the Bears added during the offseason move the needle that much?

• Next Game: at Panthers, Sunday, September 13 @ 1:00 p.m. EST

9. Jacksonville Jaguars

No quarterback was better the second half of last season than Jacksonville’s Trevor Lawrence. Granted, Travis Etienne signing with the Saints this offseason is a huge blow to the Jacksonville offense. But the receivers who helped Lawrence look like an MVP for two months are all back, so there is hope that Lawrence and the Jags can carry that into 2026.

• Next Game: vs Browns, Sunday, September 13 @ 1 p.m. EST

8. Cincinnati Bengals

The Bengals just have to figure out a way to keep Joe Burrow healthy. They have two elite wide receivers and a 1,000-yard rusher in Chase Brown. Just keep the quarterback upright and on the field. Burrow is technically healthy heading into the season, so for now, the Cincinnati offense is in good shape.

• Next Game: vs Buccaneers, Sunday, September 13 @ 1 p.m. EST

7. Kansas City Chiefs

Patrick Mahomes has a clean bill of health for the new season, which should put the rest of the league on alert. The backfield looks completely different, but Kenneth Walker figures to be an upgrade at running back. Travis Kelce is also back, and if the team’s speedy wide receivers can stay healthy, nobody should be surprised if the Kansas City offense starts humming again.

• Next Game: vs Broncos, Monday, September 14 @ 8:20 p.m. EST

6. Seattle Seahawks

Has anyone considered the possibility that Sam Darnold is now an elite quarterback? Including the playoffs, he’s 31-7 over the last two seasons. Of course, ball security remains an issue for him, and losing Kenneth Walker in free agency is a big hit for the Seattle offense. But the Seahawks finished third in the NFL in points last season, and they still have Darnold and Jaxon Smith-Njigba leading the way.

• Next Game: vs Patriots, Wednesday, September 9 @ 8:20 p.m. EST

5. New England Patriots

Most people should be sold on Drake Maye by now, and the offseason additions of A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs should raise some eyebrows. However, it’s the signing of guard Alijah Vera-Tucker and addition of first-round pick Caleb Lomu that could help take the New England offense to the next level. If the Patriots can protect Maye better than they did last season, the upgrades at skill positions could be even better than expected.

• Next Game: at Seahawks, Wednesday, September 9 @ 8:20 p.m. EST

4. Dallas Cowboys

As long as Dak Prescott is healthy, the Cowboys are in good shape offensively. After all, it was the 30th-ranked Dallas defense that caused the team’s 7-9-1 campaign in 2025. With George Pickens back via the franchise tag, the trio of him, CeeDee Lamb, and Javonte Williams remains intact. Any meaningful contributions outside of that group are icing on the cake for an offense that’s dangerous as long as the principal players remain healthy.

• Next Game: at Giants, Sunday, September 13 @ 8:20 p.m. EST

3. Detroit Lions

The Lions didn’t make many upgrades to their offense during the offseason. But they didn’t need much with Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Jameson Williams forming the core of the offense. A healthy Sam LaPorta, who played just nine games, would make the Detroit offense even better than the unit that averaged 28.3 points per game last season.

• Next Game: vs Saints, Buccaneers, Sunday, September 13 @ 1 p.m. EST

2. Buffalo Bills

Josh Allen is still more than capable of doing the heavy lifting for the Buffalo offense. Trading for DJ Moore surely helps a lackluster set of receivers. But don’t forget that the Bills have James Cook and three capable tight ends to help Allen.

• Next Game: at Houston Texans, Sunday, September @ 1:00 p.m. EST

1. Los Angeles Rams

The Rams mostly focused on their defense during the offseason, and drafting a backup quarterback in the first round won’t do much for their offense in 2026. On the other hand, they have the reigning MVP at quarterback. The supporting cast around Matthew Stafford is stable, with proven playmakers like Kyren Williams, Puka Nacua, and DaVante Adams. That sets up the Rams for another big year after leading the NFL in points last season. 

• Next Game: vs. San Francisco 49ers, Thursday, September 10 @ 8:35 p.m. EST

Top Five NFL Passing Offenses

• Los Angeles Rams: Matthew Stafford led the league with over 4,700 passing yards last season. Even at his age, the Rams are going to let him keep airing it out until he proves he can’t do it or somebody can stop him.

• Detroit Lions: With the weapons Jared Goff has around him, the Detroit passing game will be among the best in the league. If Goff plays well, he could put up MVP-caliber stats.

• Dallas Cowboys: With both CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, all Dak Prescott needs to do is stay healthy, and he’ll throw for over 4,000 yards and 30 touchdowns this season.

• Jacksonville Jaguars: Nobody was better than Trevor Lawrence late in the 2025 season. The Jags can’t wait to see him replicate that kind of performance across the entire season. 

• Buffalo Bills: Buffalo added DJ Moore during the offseason, which should make it even easier for Josh Allen to sling the ball all over the field in 2026.

Top Five NFL Rushing Offenses 

• Indianapolis Colts: Jonathan Taylor will keep getting as many carries as he can handle, with the Colts hoping Daniel Jones can come back healthy after last year’s season-ending injury.

• Buffalo Bills: James Cook led the NFL in rushing last season and has a chance to be equally productive this season, especially with Josh Allen still a threat with his legs.

• Baltimore Ravens: As long as Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry are sharing the same backfield, the Ravens have a chance to have the NFL’s most dynamic rushing attack.

• Philadelphia Eagles: With over 1,100 rushing yards last year, Saquon Barkley somehow flew under the radar. He still has plenty left in the tank, while Jalen Hurts can also move the ball with his legs.

• Kansas City Chiefs: The Chiefs didn’t spend all that money on Kenneth Walker not to use him. He’ll get tons of touches, giving the Chiefs a productive rushing attack and taking some of the pressure off Patrick Mahomes.
