All 32 NFL teams (including the Broncos) ranked by FPI ratings

Six games into the season, the Denver Broncos (3-3) have a -3.8 Football Power Index (FPI) rating from ESPN, which ranks 25th in the NFL.

The New Orleans Saints (2-4), who will host the Broncos on Thursday Night Football this week, are ranked 29th with a -5.2 FPI rating.

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 FPI going into Week 7 of the 2024 NFL season.
