As I’m sure you’ve hypothesized before, the play of a team’s offensive line has a tangible impact on the fantasy points its skill players can produce — and now we have the data to back it up. By understanding which units are thriving (and which are floundering), we can make more informed decisions when targeting or fading certain players — another small but crucial edge against our league mates. With that in mind, it’s time to pinpoint exactly where each offensive line stands heading into 2025.

More Offensive Line Rankings: 21-11 | 10-1 (Coming Soon)

Below, I’ll be counting down the bottom-11 offensive lines entering the 2025 season, including a “key stat” from last year’s group and a rundown of offseason changes. Movement notes will list either the player’s previous team or the round in which they were drafted. Additions and subtractions are limited to those expected to start, serve as primary backups, or those selected in the top four rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft. Let’s dig in.

32. Jacksonville Jaguars

Key 2024 Stat: 1.10 RB Yards Before Contact (31st)

Offseason Movement

Additions: Fred Johnson (Eagles), Robert Hainsey (Buccaneers), Patrick Mekari (Ravens), Chuma Edoga (Cowboys), Wyatt Milum (third round)

Subtractions: Mitch Morse (retirement), Brandon Scherff (FA)

Despite the Jaguars’ offense sputtering at times last season, the o-line held up surprisingly well in key metrics. They limited Trevor Lawrence to a 5.9% adjusted sack rate and a 28.6% pressure rate, both ranking inside the top 10. The run game, however, told a different story. Jacksonville finished second-to-last in running back yards before contact, and ironically, many of their most efficient runs came behind two linemen who are no longer with the team.

According to Sports Info Solutions, Jaguars running backs averaged 0.02 EPA per carry (10th) when running up the middle or off right guard — a stark contrast to the -0.11 EPA (27th) on all other gap attempts. That makes the departures of Mitch Morse and Brandon Scherff especially tough, even if the team tried to soften the blow by bringing in veteran replacements.

Robert Hainsey and Patrick Mekari look to fill that void, with Chuma Edoga and third-rounder Wyatt Milum battling it out for guard depth. While Morse didn’t have a lights-out final NFL season, it’s worth noting here that Hainsey lost his job outright to a rookie (first-rounder Graham Barton) and logged only 94 total regular-season snaps across three games, including a Week 6 spot-start in 2024. Mekari, a long-time Baltimore Raven with experience across all five spots, adds flexibility to the line, and at the very least has tons of experience from the run-heavy AFC North powerhouse.

Along the outside, Walker Little looks to stay put as the starter on the left side, which would be quite the outlier from the first four years of his career. Although he has appeared in 55 games, only 25 of those were starts, including three at LG. Even Anton Harrison isn’t necessarily marked in at RT, which means LG Ezra Cleveland might be the only locked-in option from last season.

It’s a lot of movement from a group that doesn’t have an absolute anchor at any spot.

31. Houston Texans

Key 2024 Stat: 36.8% QB Pressure Rate (29th)

Offseason Movement

Additions: Laken Tomlinson (Seahawks), Cam Robinson (Vikings), Ed Ingram (Vikings), Trent Brown (Bengals), Aireontae Ersery (second round)

Subtractions: Laremy Tunsil (Commanders), Kendrick Green (Bills), Kenyon Green (Eagles), Shaq Mason (FA)

Trading away your best offensive line piece after finishing the previous season as a not-good offensive line will be a fascinating case to follow. There were, of course, compensation and long-term contract elements to consider here, but since we are only ranking the potential effectiveness of a team’s o-line heading into the 2025 season, we don’t really care about that.

In Laremy Tunsil’s stead, the Houston Texans will look to roll out Cam Robinson, or, potentially, second-round rookie Aireontae Ersery, to kick off the year. However, the veteran has been taking most of the first-team reps through minicamp. Robinson will head into the 2025 season wearing his third jersey in the last 12 months, coming off of arguably the worst campaign of his eight-year career. Maybe it was the mid-season change of scenery to blame, but he ended up allowing the second-most pressures in the league (52), behind only Saints’ RT Trevor Penning (54).

The Texans will also need a jump in performance on the other side of the line to keep C.J. Stroud upright, as 2024 second-rounder Blake Fisher allowed 18 pressures on only 210 pass-blocking opportunities, finishing with a 94.8 pass-block efficiency according to PFF (75th/80 tackles). If Fisher falters and they don’t want to move Ersery to the right side, it means we’re likely to have a look at Trent Brown —however briefly— in the starting lineup. Brown has averaged 527 snaps over the last six seasons, and that includes a full 17 games with New England back in 2022. A once-dominant presence, the veteran is far more effective as a spot-starter, rather than someone to hang your hat on.

Houston is banking on a bounce-back season from basically all four of their free-agent additions to improve on a unit that ranked in the bottom 10 of numerous o-line metrics.
