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.
