NFL football is back and it is time for the first NFL Power Rankings of the season. Heading into week 1, we don’t have a lot to base the rankings off of. We had to look at last year, free agency signings, potential drafted player impacts, health, and preseason evaluations. Things like the Buccaneers retaining all starters on offense and defense or the Minnesota Vikings adding 10 new starters to their defense weighed heavily into these initial rankings.
A lot will change in the first few weeks as we get to know the 2021 identity for each team. That is why the Super Bowl winning Tampa Bay Buccaneers hold the top spot until someone takes it from them.
