Going into Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season, the Denver Broncos have a 1.3 Football Power Index (FPI) rating from ESPN, which is tied for 14th in the NFL.
FPI is "a measure of team strength that is meant to be the best predictor of a team's performance going forward for the rest of the season," according to ESPN.com.
"FPI represents how many points above or below average a team is. Projected results are based on 10,000 simulations of the rest of the season using FPI, results to date, and the remaining schedule."
So with that background in mind, here's a look at how the league's 32 teams stack up based on ESPN's FPI ratings going into Week 7 of the 2026 campaign.
San Francisco 49ers: 6.5
Kansas City Chiefs: 5.2
Los Angeles Rams: 3.0
New England Patriots: 2.4
Dallas Cowboys: 1.7
Green Bay Packers: 1.3
Baltimore Ravens: 0.5
Carolina Panthers: -0.3
Pittsburgh Steelers: -0.9
Indianapolis Colts: -0.9
Los Angeles Chargers: -2.0
Las Vegas Raiders: -2.3
Washington Commanders: -3.3
Atlanta Falcons: -3.3
New York Jets: -4.2
Tennessee Titans: -5.9
Last week, Denver ranked 13th in the league with a 1.5 PFI rating. The Broncos are now considered road favorites going into a cross-conference showdown with the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7.
