AFC North 2026 Season Preview

Baltimore's Edge Is Thin

The Ravens sit atop the division, but a No. 13 ranking with a 9-8 projection is no runaway. Pittsburgh sits right behind at No. 17, close enough that the gap barely qualifies as separation. Cincinnati projects a game worse at 8-9 and No. 24, still within shouting distance if bounces go its way. Cleveland trails clearly at No. 29 and 7-10, and this looks like a three-team scrap with the Browns watching from outside it.

Ravens Lead the Way

Baltimore dominates this list with seven picks, and the Ravens' presence stretches across both sides of the ball. Derrick Henry anchors the backfield while Marlon Humphrey and Nate Wiggins give the secondary two corners, plus Calais Campbell, Travis Jones and Jaylinn Hawkins filling out the trenches and back end. Cincinnati's contribution is almost entirely a receiving room, with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins joined by Chase Brown, while Pittsburgh's four picks cluster at quarterback and linebacker behind Aaron Rodgers, Alex Highsmith, Payton Wilson and Patrick Queen. Cleveland's group is thinner but pointed, with Harold Fannin Jr. and Carson Schwesinger hinting at a young core built for later.

Talent Scattered, Not Stacked

No club in this division owns the room edge outright. The Steelers claim two top spots, with Aaron Rodgers atop the quarterback rankings and Alex Highsmith leading the linebacker group. Everyone else splits the rest: Derrick Henry gives Baltimore the top backfield, Marlon Humphrey anchors its defensive backs, Ja'Marr Chase alone makes Cincinnati's receiver room the class of the division, and Harold Fannin Jr. and Alex Wright give Cleveland the tight end and defensive line crowns. That spread says this division's best players are distributed room by room, not concentrated on one roster.
