Two weeks into the season, the Premier Madden League landscape is already taking shape. Undefeated teams are starting to establish themselves as true contenders, while others are quickly learning how unforgiving the ELO system can be. Big jumps, steep falls, and clear tier separation headline the Week 3 Power Rankings.
Let’s break it all down.
🏆 ELITE TIER
1. Philadelphia Eagles (1682, 2-0, +4)
The Eagles sit atop the league once again, doing exactly what the top team should do: win consistently. They haven’t needed massive ELO jumps to stay No. 1 — steady, dominant performances keep them firmly planted as the league’s standard.
2. Washington Commanders (1656, 2-0, +9)
Washington is making a statement early. A perfect record and a strong ELO climb puts them right behind the Eagles. This team looks disciplined, efficient, and dangerous on both sides of the ball.
3. Cleveland Browns (1651, 2-0, +15)
Cleveland’s surge has been one of the biggest stories of the young season. A +15 ELO jump reflects convincing wins and rising confidence. This roster is clicking fast.
4. Pittsburgh Steelers (1632, 2-0, +19)
The Steelers are climbing rapidly. Their +19 ELO increase is among the largest in the league, signaling that their undefeated start is no fluke. They’re forcing the rest of the AFC to take notice.
5. Las Vegas Raiders (1631, 2-0, +10)
Quietly elite. The Raiders continue stacking wins and remain undefeated. They may not dominate headlines, but their ELO says everything you need to know.
🔥 CONTENDER TIER
6. Green Bay Packers (1599, 1-1, +7)
Green Bay holds strong in contender territory. While not perfect, their ELO rise suggests they’re winning the games they should — and staying competitive in losses.
7. Indianapolis Colts (1583, 2-0, +7)
An undefeated AFC team sitting just outside the elite tier. The Colts are efficient, disciplined, and trending upward — one big win away from breaking into the top five.
8. Dallas Cowboys (1557, 1-1, -9)
Dallas takes a step back after an ELO dip. Still dangerous, but inconsistency is keeping them from elite status for now.
9. Chicago Bears (1535, 2-0, +17)
One of the biggest risers this week. Chicago’s perfect start and massive ELO jump shows they’re outperforming expectations and becoming a real NFC threat.
10. Los Angeles Chargers (1534, 1-1, -15)
A rough week drops the Chargers. The talent is there, but the ELO system isn’t forgiving mistakes.
11. New York Giants (1532, 2-0, +5)
Another undefeated team quietly making noise. The Giants keep winning and remain firmly in the contender mix.
12. Baltimore Ravens (1528, 1-1, -19)
Baltimore experiences one of the steepest drops among contenders. The bounce-back opportunity is there, but margin for error is shrinking fast.
⚖️ AVERAGE TIER
13. New Orleans Saints (1514, 1-1, +13)
The Saints trend upward after a solid week. They sit right on the edge of contender territory.
14. Denver Broncos (1514, 0-2, -10)
Despite a respectable ELO, the Broncos’ winless start is concerning. The clock is already ticking.
15. Cincinnati Bengals (1504, 2-0, +13)
An undefeated team buried in the middle tier — for now. If the Bengals keep winning, expect a rapid climb.
16. Detroit Lions (1487, 0-2, -7)
Detroit continues to slide. Close games or not, losses are costly in ELO.
17. San Francisco 49ers (1486, 1-1, +12)
A bounce-back week helps the 49ers stabilize and regain momentum.
18. Minnesota Vikings (1485, 1-1, +26)
The biggest mover of Week 4. Minnesota’s +26 ELO jump signals a massive turnaround and puts the league on notice.
19. Jacksonville Jaguars (1482, 2-0, +11)
Another undefeated squad rising steadily. Jacksonville is outperforming preseason expectations.
20. Seattle Seahawks (1478, 0-2, -40)
The largest fall of the week. Seattle’s early struggles have resulted in a brutal ELO collapse.
21. Los Angeles Rams (1476, 1-1, +40)
The mirror image of Seattle. The Rams explode upward after a huge week, showing how fast fortunes can change.
🚨 STRUGGLING TIER
22. Houston Texans (1465, 1-1, -12)
Inconsistent play keeps Houston stuck in limbo.
23. Arizona Cardinals (1442, 0-2, -26)
The losses are mounting, and the ELO reflects it.
24. New York Jets (1437, 0-2, -5)
Still searching for answers on both sides of the ball.
25. Kansas City Chiefs (1426, 0-2, -13)
One of the biggest surprises of the season. An 0-2 start has the Chiefs near the bottom — shocking by any standard.
26. Tennessee Titans (1426, 0-2, -13)
Similar story to Kansas City: winless and struggling to gain traction.
27. Atlanta Falcons (1423, 0-2, -17)
Early-season woes continue for Atlanta.
🔄 REBUILD TIER
28. Carolina Panthers (1391, 1-1, -11)
Competitive moments, but consistency is lacking.
29. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1369, 0-2, -7)
Still searching for an identity.
30. New England Patriots (1368, 1-1, -23)
A tough ELO hit despite a win on the record.
31. Miami Dolphins (1360, 1-1, +23)
Miami surges upward with one of the biggest ELO gains this week — a promising sign for a rebuilding team.
32. Buffalo Bills (1346, 0-2, -4)
The Bills bring up the rear. The rebuild phase is in full effect, and patience will be key.
📊 Final Thoughts
Week 3 shows clear separation forming across the league. The undefeated teams are being rewarded heavily by ELO, while early losses are proving extremely costly. With massive swings already happening, the next few weeks could dramatically reshape the rankings once again.
