We're already at the quarter pole of the season, and we've had a chance to see all the offensive lines play a few games. We've also had a chance to see a number of teams lose a starter or two to injury, with the result being some lines aren't as good as they started out. And some look better.
Among the risers: Baltimore, which has looked solid thus far, and which has been relatively healthy. Atlanta, which is 1st in passing offense and 5th in rushing offense. The Titans, who are running the ball well (line can't be blamed for Marcus Mariota's struggles thus far).
Falling some are the Colts and 49ers, with players getting hurt or, in the case of Anthony Davis, retiring again. Washington lost its center. The Vikings lost their left tackle. Houston has been banged up. And it's only Week 5. The Rams are at the bottom, part of why Todd Gurley has been a disappointment thus far.
Updated rankings are shown below. A colorful chart showing how we grade each player can be seen on our Facebook page.
