NFL Week 8 Power Rankings 2025: How all 32 teams stack up - ESPN

Week 8 of the 2025 NFL season is here after a "Monday Night Football" doubleheader that included a matchup between the top teams in last week's Power Rankings (the Buccaneers and Lions). Detroit won following an exciting Sunday slate, which even featured a 33-point fourth quarter by the Broncos against the Giants.

How do all of these teams fit in our updated Power Rankings? We restacked the NFL heading into Week 8, which includes byes for six teams (Cardinals, Jaguars, Lions, Raiders, Rams and Seahawks). In addition to the 1-32 rankings, our NFL Nation reporters picked an unsung nonstarter or role player from each roster. Who is making a big impact with their limited snaps on the field? Which nonstarters are having big performances in place of injured or released players?

Let's get into it with our No. 1 team. Our power panel of more than 80 writers, editors and TV personalities evaluated how NFL teams stack up against one another, ranking them from 1 to 32.

Unsung nonstarter/role player: WR Isaac TeSlaa

The rookie has received limited snaps playing behind wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Kalif Raymond, but TeSlaa has produced some highlight reel plays when given opportunities. A native of Hudsonville, Michigan, he has logged only three receptions for 54 yards, though two of those receptions were TDs. The first was a spectacular one-handed grab in the season opener at Green Bay. His second career catch was another one-hander from quarterback Jared Goff
