- Falcons still have Ridder at QB but all of their weapons have developed to high OVRs. They also drafted an X Factor LE Kenny Mullins last year who is 87 OVR already. 

- Commanders have Baker Mayfield as their starting QB. 

- Raiders have Jordan Love as their QB. They added SS DT Tyrone Keys (85) in the draft, and both TE Mayer and DE Wilson have leveled to 88 OVR. 

- The highest OVR player on the Patriots roster is HB Tremaine Robinson (88). They are really really bad. They still have Mac Jones. 

- The Broncos starting QB is rookie Sheldon Harold (71) with normal dev.

- QB G Marshall continues to have an excellent td/int ratio but struggles to put up yards. 

- HB B Edwards broke 1,000 yards for the first time. His 7 TDs were disappointing. 

- WR G McCain missed 2 games with injury again, and was just below 1,000 yards. 

- WR K Gills led the team with 11 receiving TDs. 

- LT Fitzsimmons really struggled after an excellent rookie season. 

- LOLB N McDonald had an active year with 6.5 sacks, 3 INTs, 8 TFL, 6 deflections and a forced fumble. 

- DT Zac Allen blew up with 17.0 sacks. He was #2 in the league in sacks. 

- Rookie LE Jerry Phillips had a solid rookie campaign with 7.0 sacks, and he played exclusively at DT. 

- I still got practically nothing from my edge rushers.
