Ranking the NFL’s Top Offensive Weapons Groups

July 11, 2025 by Windy City Gridiron

NFL: DEC 29 Cowboys at Eagles

ESPN just came out with their rankings for each teams offensive weapons. Here, we discuss those rankings and share our own.

A year ago, with Keenan Allen, Khalil Herbert and Gerald Everett, ESPN ranked the Chicago Bears offensive weapons (RB, WR, TE only) as the 6th best league wide. This year, sans those three players but with the additions of first-rounder Colston Loveland, second-rounder Luther Burden III, Olamide Zaccheaus, Devin Duvernay, and Kyle Monangai, ESPN ranked them 25th. Perhaps everyone else expected another All-Pro season from Keenan Allen, but aside from that possibility, it does not make much sense how the same group can add some blue-chip talent and proven depth and drop so far.

Suffice it to say, I disagree with their rankings but not just because of where Chicago lands either. Now, ESPN is clear in that they weigh WR more heavily than other positions, which may explain the differences, but as our resident RB homer, I cannot overlook the RB position when considering the top offensive weapon groups league-wide.

Here are my rankings with ESPN’s rankings in parenthesis:

  1. Eagles (1) – elite RB, stellar WR’s with depth and top 10 TE.
  2. Ravens (8) – elite RB, stellar TE room with underrated WR corp.
  3. Lions (2) – elite RB room, stellar TE1 and WR1 with questions thereafter.
  4. Vikings (6) – Elite WR1/WR2, top 10 TE and solid, if unspectacular RB room.
  5. 49ers (4) – Elite RB, elite TE1, solid, if unspectacular WR corp.
  6. Bengals (3) – Elite WR1/WR2, solid RB room, average TE room that could surprise.
  7. Rams (5) – Elite WR1/WR2 with decent WR depth behind, above avg. RB and average TE.
  8. Falcons (9) – Elite RB room, Solid WR1/WR2 with top 10 TE (potentially top 3).
  9. Bucs (7) – Elite WR1/2/3, solid RB room with average TE.
  10. Chiefs (12) – Elite TE with solid WR1/WR2 with solid RB room.
  11. Bears (25) – Elite WR room, top 5 TE room, average RB room.
  12. Broncos (23) – Above avg. WR room, TE room and RB room.
  13. Steelers (21) – Top TE room league wide, solid WR1 with solid RB room.
  14. Colts (16) – Elite RB room, top 10 TE room, solid WR room.
  15. Commanders (13) – Above average WR corp, TE room and average RB room.
  16. Texans (14) – Elite WR1 with top 10 TE and top 10 RB but little behind those three.
  17. Dolphins (10) – Elite WR/WR2 with above average RB room but below avg. TE room.
  18. Packers (17) – Top 10 RB, above average TE room, average WR corp.
  19. Bills (28) – Top 5 RB room, above average TE with average WR corp.
  20. Jags (18) – Top 10 RB room, above average WR room, below average TE room.
  21. Seahawks (19) – Top 5 RB room, avg. WR corp., avg. TE room/maybe slightly above avg.
  22. Titans (32) – Top 10 RB room, average WR room and TE room.
  23. Cardinals (15) – Top 3 TE, average RB room, stud WR1 with little behind them all.
  24. Chargers (22) – Avg. maybe slightly above WR and RB room with below average TE room.
  25. Raiders (20) – Stud TE1, stud RB1, below average WR corp.
  26. Panthers (31) – Top 10 RB room, average WR and below average TE room.
  27. Browns (29) – Above average RB room, average WR corp, above avg. TE room.
  28. Pats (30) – Average WR corp, above average RB room, average TE room.
  29. Cowboys (11) – Stud WR1/WR2, below avg. to avg. TE room, arguably worst RB room in NFL.
  30. Jets (27) – Stud RB room, average WR corp, below average TE room.
  31. Saints (24) – Average WR corp., above avg. RB room with below average TE room.
  32. Giants (26) – Stud WR1, below average TE and RB rooms.

What about you? Where would you have Chicago ranked? Who is your number one? Who would be ranked last on your list?

DJ Moore and Rome Odunze don’t appear to be getting the recognition they deserve league-wide. Especially with Ben Johnson calling plays.
