NFL top 100 players in NFC West
McBride is the only player for the Cardinals who makes the list. While he is certainly worthy, RB James Conner and S Budda Baker are notable absences.
It is interesting that QB Matthew Stafford isn't on the list. RB Kyren Williams has also been very good. Likewise, no DT Kobie Tuner, who has 17 sacks in two NFL season, is a notable snub.
Of the Cardinals' opponents in 2025, the 49ers are tied with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the most players on the list.
The Seahawks have two defensive cornerstones. They deserve to be here.

Your 2025 Dolphins Offensive Stat Leaders
A couple of nights ago, I asked the following question: What's your prediction for who will lead the Miami Dolphins offense in any statistical category? Give us your list of leaders, along with statistical numbers, if you also want to predict those. Below are some of your thoughts and answers- Advertisement SlayerNation1 has all of the usual suspects. Achane 800/400 yards Hill 1400 (Waddle will miss games 1100) Tua 3,000 yards passing, will miss games Smith if He plays 700 yards, many of his short passes/behind LOS passes could go to a RB or Conner. Mcadaniel leads the league with 30 Delays of Game dedstrk316 added some new statistical categories. Injuries: Tua, Chubb, Phillips, at least one oline player. Timeouts due to not being able to get the play call in on time: McDaniel Hissy Fits: Tyreek Being a total badass: Seiler and Grant How the heck did he do that: Achane, Waddle Yarganaught doesn't know who it's going to be but believes that the run game will be a focus this coming season. Oh gosh, I really don't have any idea who will be The Man at any spot. I think the running game will be a focus, and the O-line will improve in that area. But will those carries go to Achane, or will he become an increased passing threat? Perhaps Wright or Gordon II will surpass him in rushing yards and TDs. As mentioned below by JUK, will MMD spurn Hill's ego (in what could be his final season with Miami) in turn for Waddle's? Similarly, will MMD try to replace Jonnu's TE production with one of the other TEs on the roster, will Achane assume many of those shorter yardage passes, or will a WR3 step up as the TE (Pharoah) assumes more of a blocking role again? And that's just on Offense!!! Dolphster sees the status quo remaining. Interesting question. I think Tua, Achane, and Hill will still lead in passing, rushing, and re Smith will stay, play to the same standard but be at least 20% down in counting statsceiving. Even if Jonnu stays, I don't foresee him replicating last year's stats, so I don't see him repeating for most receiving TDs. Not sure who I would guess would take that lead this year though. Maybe Achane for most overall TDs, but not receiving TDs. JUK has Achane leading the team in yards and Waddle besting Hill. Achane will lead the team in total yards from scrimmage, that's the easiest call for me if he's healthy. Waddle will outplay Hill, whether he leads the team in receiving yards depends if McD has learned his lesson or if he keeps trying to feed balls to protect Reek's ego. Bill Moody sees Tua staying healthy. QB (All) - Tua (he stays healthy) RB (Rushing and Scrimmage Yards, TDs) - Achane (Wright didn't look good last year, and Ollie is new) WR (Receiving Yards) - HIll (while I think both Hill and Waddle will have a resurgance, I think Hill gonna be on a warpath) These seem most likely to me. It seems that if there is any consensus, it is that things will continue as they are. Thank you to each of you who took the time to answer our question of the day. More from

Josh Allen Defends Second-Year Bills' Receiver: 'Very Smooth'
Josh Allen Defends Second-Year Bills' Receiver: 'Very Smooth' originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Buffalo Bills only got a small taste of what former second-round receiver Keon Coleman can do. The Florida State product caught 29 passes for over 500 yards in his first season in the league. Advertisement While he showed the kind of potential that most teams look for, Bills fans were concerned about his lack of production. The team isn't too worried, though. In an interview noted by Bleacher Report, reigning league MVP Josh Allen discussed Coleman's production and the young receiver's future. "He looks very smooth right now. I feel like he's put on some muscle, he's moving quicker, not just physically but mentally, with our offensive system," Allen said. "I think he's attacked this offseason the way you would want a second-year receiver to attack." Allen has worked with a quality All-Pro receiver before. Stefon Diggs helped him become one of the league's better signal-callers. Advertisement Last year, Allen didn't need a star receiver to become the MVP. And ... Buffalo doesn't have a clear-cut No. 1 receiver. But it is comfortable with its current collection of weapons. If Coleman can develop into a star receiver, that will even help Buffalo's offense. It's easier said than done, though. Every offense needs a guy with Coleman's skill set as a deep-threat wideout. He'll still need to earn more playing time with acquisitions like Joshua Palmer, and Elijah Moore added this offseason. Allen still believes in his young receiver. If Coleman can take a jump in his second season, Allen's numbers will remain among the best in the league - and maybe Keon can be key to another MVP.

Can Bills' Josh Allen Win Super Bowl With Average Receiver Room?
Can Bills' Josh Allen Win Super Bowl With Average Receiver Room? originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Buffalo Bills' receiver room has gotten a lot of attention this offseason, with many of the thought that Josh Allen needs more weapons. Advertisement Having lost Amari Cooper and Mack Hollins, the Bills "replaced" them with Joshua Palmer, Elijah Moore, and Leviska Shenault Jr. That trio comes to a room already housing Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel, Dalton Kincaid, and Dawson Knox. But the big issue for some is the lack of a No. 1 star to bring the group together. As such, the overall look of the room for Pro Football Focus leaves a bit to be desired despite its potential, and in ranking all 32 receiver rooms, Buffalo's comes in at No. 19. "The Bills put forth a diverse passing attack in 2024, with eight players seeing more than 30 targets," Pro Football Focus writes. "Khalil Shakir not only led them in targets but also in PFF receiving grade (80.1). Second-year wideout Keon Coleman could be in for a massive season after earning just a 68.8 PFF receiving grade as a rookie. Advertisement "Meanwhile, Dalton Kincaid cracked the top 10 of PFF's tight end rankings with the ninth-best PFF WAR figure at the position over the past two seasons. The Bills will be without Mack Hollins and Amari Cooper from last year's group, but their potential remains high." Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allencelebrates with WR Khalil Shakir (10) after scoring a touchdown in a 2025 AFC divisional-round Fisher-Imagn Images The receiver-by-committee approach worked last season, with Allen leading the offense to average 30.9 points per game, so the lack of a No. 1 weapon didn't hinder the group. Yet, some think it will in 2025. Ranking the room 19th might seem a little harsh, as with the expected improvement of Coleman and Kincaid, who dealt with injuries last year, Allen's weapons "should" be better than a year ago. Advertisement But if Buffalo's receivers needed any more motivation ahead of what might be a defining year, they just got it.
