The 2024 NFL season is finally here, so it’s time to create top 32 offense power rankings.

To rank each team, I put a lot of weight on quarterback play and offensive playcaller. I also considered offensive line along with wide receivers and tight ends. Continuity was another important factor.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at my NFL offense power rankings.

NFL Offense Power Rankings 32-21

32. New England Patriots

The Patriots are in rebuilding mode, hoping that Drake Maye provides the playmaking ability that this offense desperately needs. Rookie Ja’Lynn Polk has potential, but there’s not much here to strike fear in opposing defenses, especially if Jacoby Brissett opens the year as starter.

31. New Orleans Saints

You may be surprised that I’m ranking the Saints so low. While I like the Klint Kubiak hire at offensive coordinator, this team ranks 32nd in offensive line rankings at PFF. Alvin Kamara and Derek Carr are both declining as well. This feels like the year where the Saints completely bottom out.

30. Carolina Panthers

The Panthers were awful last year, but there’s light at the end of the tunnel here with Dave Canales as the new head coach. We saw Canales help both Baker Mayfield and Geno Smith improve significantly, so perhaps he can do the same with Bryce Young. Having said that, I can’t put the Panthers too high yet, even with an improved supporting cast.

29. New York Giants

The Giants lost Saquon Barkley, but added a generational wide receiver prospect in Malik Nabers, who should help make life easier for Daniel Jones. Wan’Dale Robinson is now healthy, providing the team with a valuable weapon in the slot. But Jones is still one of the worst starters, which keeps the G-Men low on this list.

28. Pittsburgh Steelers

I love what the Steelers are building on the offensive line. This team should have a great running game. But there are a lot of question marks under center with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Add in the limited group of receivers outside of George Pickens and you can see why the Steelers are 28th.

27. Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders are another projected run-heavy offense with questionable quarterback play with Gardner Minshew. Luke Getsy is also considered to be a subpar play-caller. However, this team has some nice weapons in Davante Adams, Brock Bowers, and Jakobi Meyers, which puts them ahead of teams like the Steelers.

26. Washington Commanders

I’m high on Jayden Daniels, who has the potential to be an electric dual-threat playmaker for the Commanders. The problem here is that the weapons are limited outside of Terry McLaurin. Add in one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL and you can see why the Commanders are 26th.

25. Denver Broncos

Sean Payton hand-picked Bo Nix in the draft. Having a quarterback with a skillset perfectly tailored to Payton’s scheme should help the Broncos have an improved offense. I can see Denver moving up these ranks quickly, but I can’t put them too high considering the limited weaponry outside of Courtland Sutton and Javonte Williams.

24. Tennessee Titans

The Titans did a terrific job bolstering their offense this offseason, hiring Brian Callahan as well as signing Calvin Ridley and Tony Pollard. The question here is a concerning offensive line and an unproven quarterback in Will Levis. They’re similar to the Broncos but only higher due to superior wide receivers.

23. Minnesota Vikings

Kevin O’Connell is one of the brightest offensive minds in the game. There are also terrific weapons here in Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and Aaron Jones, although T.J. Hockenson won’t return until midseason. The reason why I’m lower on the Vikings is because of Sam Darnold. Until he can show otherwise, we have to temper expectations.

22. Los Angeles Chargers

You may wonder why the Chargers are 22nd despite one of the worst groups of receivers in the NFL. The reason is simple: Justin Herbert is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL with the ability to elevate his teammates. This is also a terrific offensive line, led by Rashawn Slater and rookie Joe Alt.

21. Cleveland Browns

The Browns boast a strong offensive line, a creative play-caller, and terrific weapons. It all comes down to Deshaun Watson. If Watson can recapture at least some of the form he showed as a Texan, this offense can emerge as one of the best in the NFL. But that hasn’t been the case in his Browns’ tenure, which is why they come in at 21st.

NFL Offense Power Rankings 20-11

20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Bucs were one of the biggest surprises of 2023, fielding an impressive offensive led by Baker Mayfield, Rachaad White, Mike Evans, and Chris Godwin. The reason why I’ve moved Tampa a bit lower is because former offensive coordinator Dave Canales is now head coach of the Panthers. I need to see how they respond to a new play-caller.

19. Arizona Cardinals

The Cardinals added one of the best receiving prospects in recent memory in Marvin Harrison Jr. to form a nice group of weapons with Trey McBride and James Conner. Kyler Murray is finally healthy, so we could see this offense take off in 2024. The only issue here is their offensive line, which PFF ranks 26th.

18. Jacksonville Jaguars

Trevor Lawrence played through injury for much of the 2023 season, which is why the Jaguars offense struggled. Now healthy and with a new group of receivers that includes Brian Thomas Jr. and Gabe Davis, we could see this group soar to new heights this season. My one concern is the play-calling with Press Taylor, who misused Calvin Ridley last season.

17. Seattle Seahawks

I’m bullish on the Seahawks offense because new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb should do well with a terrific trio of wideouts that includes DK Metcalf, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Tyler Lockett, similar to what he had at Washington (Rome Odunze, Ja’Lynn Polk, Jalen McMillan). The concern here is offensive line (31st at PFF).

16. Indianapolis Colts

The Colts offense has a lot of upside, highlighted by an elite play-caller in Shane Steichen and terrific offensive line (3rd per PFF). This team has a nice trio of receivers in Michael Pittman Jr, Josh Downs, and Adonai Mitchell. We just need Anthony Richardson to live up to lofty expectations and the Colts could fly up this list.

15. Chicago Bears

The Bears drafted one of the best quarterback prospects in recent memory in Caleb Williams, who has an elite receiving core that includes DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, and Keenan Allen. My one concern here is whether new play-caller Shane Waldron will use his weapons properly. With that said, it may not matter with how good Williams can be.

14. New York Jets

Aaron Rodgers is set to win NFL Comeback Player of the Year with a strong supporting cast that includes Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall. The Jets upgraded their offensive line by drafting Olu Fashanu in the first round as well as signing Tyron Smith and Morgan Moses. This team may have the most improved offense in football.

13. Buffalo Bills

Look for more of that methodical and run-heavy offense that we saw from the Bills in the second half under Joe Brady last season, especially with Stefon Diggs gone. I don’t envision a high-octane passing attack that we once saw. With that said, Josh Allen is the second-best quarterback in the NFL, which is why the Bills remain so high on this list.

12. Los Angeles Rams

When the Rams have a fully healthy offense with Matthew Stafford, Kyren Williams, Puka Nacua, and Cooper Kupp, they’re extremely dangerous. Sean McVay remains one of the best offensive minds in the NFL. Adding Blake Corum brings depth to the backfield. The issue here is that the injury risk is high with this group.

11. Atlanta Falcons

Like the Jets, the Falcons look like a lock to be among the most improved offenses in the NFL. Look for new play-caller Zac Robinson (formerly of the Rams) to actually utilize his young weapons properly. Kirk Cousins brings stability under center as well. Expect career years from Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts.

NFL Offense Power Rankings 10-1

10. Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys still have a fast-paced and high-octane passing attack led by Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb. The reason why I have them a bit lower than consensus is because this team’s depth is paper-thin. What happens if Lamb misses time? Brandin Cooks and Jalen Tolbert would be the top receivers — yikes — this is a top-heavy group.

9. Cincinnati Bengals

After an off year due to Joe Burrow’s injury, the Bengals are ready to take off once more. Look for Burrow to lead an impressive passing game, peppering Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins with targets. The reason why the Bengals are a bit lower is because Burrow feels like more of an injury risk than other quarterbacks.

8. Green Bay Packers

If we get the second-half version of Jordan Love for a full year, the Packers could have a top-five offense. Love played like one of the best quarterbacks in the league during that stretch. This team has a terrific young group of receivers with Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, Dontayvion Wicks, and Romeo Doubs. The sky is the limit in 2024.

7. Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens remain an electrifying group as long as Lamar Jackson is healthy. The addition of Derrick Henry makes this running game even more explosive. If Mark Andrews can avoid injury, there’s a lot to like about this supporting cast. However, given Jackson and Andrews’ injury history, we have to keep the Ravens a bit lower than other teams.

6. Houston Texans

The Texans could soar to new heights with stud quarterback C.J. Stroud throwing to the best trio of receivers in the NFL in Nico Collins, Tank Dell, and Stefon Diggs. I’m expecting a pass-heavy attack that will catapult Stroud into the NFL MVP discussion. Adding Joe Mixon also brings stability to this backfield.

5. Philadelphia Eagles

Look for a bounce-back season from the Eagles’ offense following a down year. New play-caller Kellen Moore is a major upgrade over Brian Johnson. Expect more creativity with pre-snap motion, allowing A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith to be put in more favorable positions. Bringing in Saquon Barkley gives Philly an explosive talent at running back.

4. Detroit Lions

The Lions have a terrific supporting cast with continuity now that Ben Johnson stayed on as offensive coordinator. This team has the best offensive line in the NFL, allowing Jared Goff to flourish. If Jameson Williams can live up to his potential as a former first-round pick, this offense can absolutely explode in 2024.

3. Miami Dolphins

Mike McDaniel is an extremely gifted play-caller, allowing Tua Tagovailoa to thrive with the most explosive supporting cast in the NFL which includes Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and De’Von Achane. Bringing in Odell Beckham Jr. and Jonnu Smith was shrewd which adds to the depth here. It wouldn’t shock me to see the Dolphins lead in scoring.

2. San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers were one of the most efficient offenses in the NFL last season, but I’m not ranking them first overall due to the Brandon Aiyuk situation as well as a concerning offensive line that came in at 24th in PFF’s rankings. With that said, expect a lot of fireworks from the 49ers, even if Aiyuk does end up getting traded.

1. Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs are back as an explosive offense this year. Patrick Mahomes now has a terrific group of receivers that includes Rashee Rice, Hollywood Brown, and Xavier Worthy to go along with Travis Kelce and Isiah Pacheco. I’m expecting Mahomes to get back to MVP form. Worthy’s speed should open up a lot of opportunities for this offense.
