Last week, Nick Shook of the league's official website published his preseason power rankings ahead of the 2026 NFL season. Shook clearly believes in the Denver Broncos, ranking them second overall, only trailing the Los Angeles Rams.
"After falling painfully short of the Super Bowl last season, the Broncos return one of the most complete rosters in the NFL with hope spilling out of their saddlebags," Shook wrote for NFL.com. "There's good reason for the optimism: Their core contributors return on both defense and offense, and they've added a new weapon in explosive receiver Jaylen Waddle. Theoretically, the team that finished 14-3 last season should be even better."
Elsewhere in the AFC West, the Kansas City Chiefs are ranked No. 15, the Los Angeles Chargers are ranked No. 17 and the Las Vegas Raiders are ranked No. 31.
Overall, the Rams are ranked No. 1 and the Miami Dolphins are ranked No. 32 (last). To view the complete power rankings, visit NFL.com.
