ProFootballFocus Top 5/Bottom 5 at every position, as of Week 8

Recommended Posts

Friend with the subscription sent me the updated numbers so I'm sending them to you. A disclaimer: I do not own a PFF subscription but my friend does and sent me this list to post it. PFF is obviously flawed, and in some cases downright laughable, I do not necessarily share their opinions on the top/worst players. Still, this should be interesting. Keep in mind their new player grade scale lists players via a 1-100 format. Also keep in mind that players who do not have a certain Snap % are not included (not sure what exactly the minimum snap count is... I think its like 25%).

Saints have two defenders in the top of their positional rankings. I’ll take it.

Haven’t watched enough football this year to say Cam or Lattimore are the BEST at their position, but they’re both clearly playing at an elite level right now. 

And Kenny Vaccaro bottom 5 is a laugher... he’s had a great season, he’s gonna get PAID this year.

Adolphus Washington in bottom 5??? None of the Bills interior dlinemen deserve to be there. None have played great but none have been bad. They have all been well coached, stout, and overall solid. Smith not in top 2? Ertz not in top 5? One of the worst PFF grades I've ever saw

He’s really caught my eye the last couple of weeks, has he played this well all year? I’d be interested to see his grade week by week.

It blows my mind to not see any Bengals offensive linemen on the bad side of things.

Because as a unit, they're terrible, but that doesn't necessarily mean each individual has been one of the worst at the position.

I'm very pleasantly surprised by both Adrian Amos and Eddie Jackson, for the first time in a decade I feel like the Bears S are not an overall weakness.   I don't know that Amos is the second best safety in the NFL, but he's certainly been on a hot streak since getting benched for Demps and then coming in to replace him due to injury.  Lit a fire under him or something.

no.. they are also terrible individually...

Russell Bodine has to be the worst center in the NFL
