NFC Takeaways
The Eagles are who we thought they were. They are absolutely dominant on paper as they try to defend their NFC crown.
The 49ers are even better than we thought they were, but unfortunately, not at the most important position. Their score is 112 points better than any team in the NFL.
The Cowboys continue to be all hype, without success in January and February.
As down as the NFC South is, the Saints seem to stack up well according to this list. No quarterback from the South made this list.
The NFC North seems to be up for grabs with Aaron Rogers out of the division. Justin Jefferson ranking as the second-best player in the league gave the Vikings a commanding lead in this scoring system.
