NFL preseason Power Rankings 2023: How all 32 teams stack up - ESPN

In a little more than two weeks, the 2023 NFL season will be here. The reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs open the season at home vs. the Detroit Lions on Thursday, Sept. 7.

Much has happened since we last polled our experts in the weeks after the 2023 NFL draft: The Washington Commanders were sold; DeAndre Hopkins signed with the Titans; running backs Ezekiel Elliott (Patriots) and Dalvin Cook (Jets) found new homes; and Josh Jacobs still has yet to report to Raiders camp.

Now that eyes are turning to the regular-season schedule, it makes us wonder. Who has the most at stake this season? Who is on the hot seat for each team in 2023?

In addition to our preseason Power Rankings, our 32 NFL Nation reporters identified one player, coach or executive who has much to prove in 2023 — some players are trying to hold on to their starting spot, while a few coaches/GMs are looking to stay employed.

We did the same exercise in 2022, and out of the 32 names, 10 players are on different teams and four coaches have moved to different jobs. Who's on the list this year?

Our power panel is a group of more than 80 writers, editors and TV personalities that evaluates how NFL teams stack up against each other, then ranks them from 1 to 32.

On the hot seat: RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire

Edwards-Helaire is most likely in his final season with the Chiefs and could be playing for his career as well. He hasn't proved worthy of the first-round pick the Chiefs used on him in 2020 and has been passed on the depth chart by Isiah
