THE NUMBERS DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR TEAM

Caleb Williams threw 4 interceptions against the toughest defense in the NFL.

Adjusted for that defense, his game still graded above average.

He's no longer No. 1. Joe Burrow is.

Burrow is the only S-tier QB in football. S tier means a grade of 35 or higher, the elite level in our rankings, where 0 is league average.

Top 10 through Week 9:

@tonegodspeed @WeAreMany7 Not trash, just specific. It ranks who lost key players mid-season. Teams that lost guys before Week 1 have already played 9 games without them. Philly just started its third-string QB. That's the list.

[Data Disrespect @NFLDisrespect]

THE MOST BANGED-UP TEAMS IN THE NFL, RANKED

The Eagles and Ravens both started their third-string QB last week.

Philly has 7 key players injured, including Jalen Hurts (out for the season) and his backup.

Meanwhile, 5 teams didn't miss a single key player: the Bengals, Falcons, Raiders, Dolphins and Saints.

[Data Disrespect @NFLDisrespect]

@WeAreMany7 Fair catch. Our list only counts players who started 3+ games this season and then went down. Micah hasn't played a snap in 2026, and Reed and Bako-Bewele went down early, so they're already baked into who the Packers are. Count all three and Green Bay climbs even higher.

[Data Disrespect @NFLDisrespect]

@JoelDehls One pushback: Cincinnati's front isn't the problem. The Bengals have the 4th-best D-line in our rankings and stuff more runs than anyone. Jacksonville is 16th. On KC you're right: 26th in our pass rush rankings.

[Data Disrespect @NFLDisrespect]

It's 3 of the 49ers' top receivers out right now, not 6: Evans, Deebo and Christian Kirk. Demarcus Robinson and KhaDarel Hodge are back. They still rank low because none were every-down players (Evans 54% of snaps, Deebo 58%, Kirk 1 game), and QBs count the most. We weight injured starting QBs much higher because losing one hurts the offense and the defense, which ends up on the field way more. Purdy's healthy, and they still hung 38 on Vegas.

@MLFootball @EaglesBurna @howardeskin @JoshReynolds24 @JalenCarterDPOY @KennyKing_Jr @RaidersBeat @RaiderHoncho @RaiderHours Philly can't afford to lose him. The Eagles already have the weakest 4-man pass rush in football: pressure on just 6.9% of plain 4-man rushes. Trade Carter and that number gets worse.

[Data Disrespect @NFLDisrespect]

@AkoyeMedia Gary may be doing his part, but the unit isn't. Dallas ranks 29th in our D-line rankings and 31st at stopping the run. One guy can't fix that.

[Data Disrespect @NFLDisrespect]

@Nate_Tice The run D holds up: 7th in run stopping in our D-line rankings. The pass rush is the real problem. Philly gets pressure on just 6.9% of plain 4-man rushes, lowest in football.

WHO OWNS THE TRENCHES? EVERY NFL DEFENSIVE LINE, RANKED

The Eagles have the weakest 4-man pass rush in football. Pressure on just 6.9% of plain 4-man rushes.

Seattle is No. 1, top 3 at both rushing the passer and stopping the run.

Cowboys 29th. Panthers dead last.

[Data Disrespect @NFLDisrespect]

@LamarDummy For the record, the Ravens are 2nd on our most banged-up list. Lamar and Huntley are both out, plus Wiggins, Hawkins and 2 more key players. Hype accordingly.

[Data Disrespect @NFLDisrespect]

@tomstakes Before anyone gets fired, some context: Philly is the most banged-up team in football by our count. Hurts is out for the season, his backup is hurt, LT Lane Johnson hasn't played since Week 3, and DeVonta Smith is out. They started their No. 3 QB last week.

[Data Disrespect @NFLDisrespect]

@BradyHenderson Standing pat is a bold call for a team that's 3rd on our most banged-up list. Darnold, LT Charles Cross and Leonard Williams all missed Week 9. Getting those three back might be the real trade.

[Data Disrespect @NFLDisrespect]

@vikingzfanpage And the shuffle isn't over. Murray and starting guard Donovan Jackson both missed Week 9, which puts Minnesota 5th on our most banged-up list. Wentz filled in and graded -68.9, the worst QB game of the week.

[Data Disrespect @NFLDisrespect]

@AdamSchefter @RobDemovsky Brutal timing for Green Bay. The Packers were already 6th on our most banged-up list before this. Glover, Franklin, Rhyan, Cooper and Monk all missed Week 9. Now add Jacobs.

@RandomLurker111 @SleeperNFL The numbers agree with you. When defenses blitz Purdy, he averages +0.31 expected points per dropback. Best of any QB in football. League average against the blitz is basically zero. Minnesota is about to find out.

[Data Disrespect @NFLDisrespect]

@SleeperNFL Purdy is 2nd in our QB grades (+32.0), and the 49ers have the No. 1 offensive line in football. If anyone stops them, it's Minnesota. The Vikings blitz on 73% of dropbacks, most in the NFL by a mile, and Purdy sees them in two weeks.

[Data Disrespect @NFLDisrespect]

@JacobsMovement It's a split personality line. Pass protection is 6th in football. Run blocking is 21st. Packers fans are feeling every stuffed run. The pass pro is fine.

[Data Disrespect @NFLDisrespect]

EVERY NFL OFFENSIVE LINE, RANKED 1 TO 32

The 1-7 Titans protect their QB better than anyone in football. 6 sacks allowed all year. Whatever's wrong in Tennessee, it isn't the line.

The Eagles? 26.6% of their runs get stuffed at or behind the line. Most in the NFL. The most famous line in football is now dead last in run blocking.

Top 5: 49ers, Falcons, Titans, Broncos, Bills
Bottom 5: Commanders, Eagles, Giants, Chargers, Browns

The Browns have allowed 31 sacks. Only 3 were the QB's fault. Shedeur deserves better.

Pass protection 55%, run blocking 35%, line penalties 10%. Opponent-adjusted, garbage time removed.

@MLFootball @iamSauceGardner @Colts_Law @BarstoolUC @thebengalorian @BengalsCaptain @bengaljims_BTR @gameonjmoney @TonyDaTiger96 The QB side is handled. Burrow is the only S-tier QB in football after adjusting for opponents (+38.3). The pass defense is the problem: 17th in our ratings through Week 8. If you're ever going to spend late firsts, it's with a QB playing like this.
