What a good line is worth, position by position.
Best 8 lines against the worst 8, each season, 21 seasons. Points per game for each team's best player at the position, half PPR.

Everything above is measured. This section is a forecast, useful because it accounts for an offseason the tape cannot, and worth less because nobody has played a snap yet. It does not move any player's breakout grade.
Source: Consensus of PFF 2026 OL rankings + Sharp Football Analysis 2026 OL rankings. The rules engine reads the measured rank, never this one. A player's breakout grade is scored on the same column the historical hit rates were computed from.
Click a column to sort. Grade 50 = league average. Pass and Run are the two halves; a line can be excellent at one and poor at the other. Every column carries the season it is from. The last one is the only forecast in the table.
The scatter above needs both axes read together. This is one metric, sorted: pick the year and what to sort by.
