What this team is
A middle-of-the-league roster with specific, nameable strengths and one problem it cannot hide. The face of it is Micah Parsons (LE, 98).
Offense
Josh Jacobs (HB, 88) is the headliner. 94 carrying — the ball simply does not come out; 91 broken tackles — runs through arm tackles like they are suggestions. Everything this offense does is built to get him the ball in the situations those numbers describe.
Jordan Love (86) at quarterback is a strength in his own right — the ball gets where the play says it should.
Defense
Micah Parsons (LE, 98) sets the terms. 97 finesse moves — wins with bend and hands — the finesse half of a rush; 92 power moves — wins with power — the long arm and the bull rush, your tackle going backward; 91 strength — immovable when he anchors. Offenses spend the week accounting for him, and the rest of this defense eats in the space that creates. What the 98 overall does not show: he tore his ACL last December and opened this season on the PUP list — the highest-rated defender on this page has yet to play a down in 2026.
And he has company at the top: Xavier McKinney (92) also rates 90+, giving this roster 2 defenders at that level.
Special teams
Trey Smack (74) kicks — 96 leg, 81 accuracy. Daniel Whelan (74) punts — 94 leg, 82 accuracy. The return game has a genuine weapon: Keisean Nixon (84 return, 92 speed). As a unit the kicking game rates bottom-three in the league — field position is going to be a season-long tax.
Hidden gems
Offense: Bo Melton (WR, 72 OVR). Read the ratings page twice: the overall says 72, the speed says 94. Overall is about the whole job; that speed is about one job, and he can already do that one as well as most starters.
Defense: Brandon Cisse (CB, 72 OVR) — a 92 speed buried at 72 overall. Speed is the one trait that plays at any overall — it travels to any package, any formation, any Sunday.
Built from EA's Week 7 roster update: the headliners are each side's highest-rated players, trait callouts are their actual top ratings, and league ranks compare all 32 starting units in the same file. A gem is a non-starter (85 OVR or under) carrying at least one elite trait of 92+.
