NFL Power Rankings: Biggest risers and fallers as training camp continues

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers face potential offensive regression following the departure of head coach Liam Coen, with concerns that their defense may be insufficient to compensate. This outlook positions them as merely "good" currently, lacking higher-tier expectations.

The Houston Texans must resolve offensive line issues to advance in 2025, as this weakness hindered progress in 2024. Should the offensive line improve, they are projected to reclaim the AFC South title and potentially mount a deep playoff run, though quarterback CJ Stroud needs to recapture his standout 2023 rookie form.

For the Green Bay Packers, Jordan Love's evolution into a star quarterback is critical. While the roster is generally solid, significant gaps persist in the secondary and at wide receiver. Despite these limitations, the team is forecasted to win 10-12 games and contend for the NFC North championship.

The Los Angeles Chargers appear to have stagnated this offseason, with perceptions that the Denver Broncos have surpassed them in the AFC West hierarchy. Key concerns include Najee Harris's injury, minimal defensive improvements, and lingering questions about Justin Herbert's impact. Ranked ninth in power rankings, the team seems capped at its current "good" level without clear upward trajectory.
