With two weeks left in the regular season, the heat is on for those players to make a closing argument. Neither of the lead offensive contenders hurt their case in Week 15.Without further ado, the cumulative rookie power rankings.Week 16 Rookie Rankings1 Los Angeles Chargers QB It will be difficult to supplant as my Offensive Rookie of the Year for a few reasons. He was not expected to start early this season and it required a rare, unfortunate set of medical events for that to become reality. The Oregon product has also had to overcome the ‘ play-calling. To his credit Tony Phillips Jersey , he has. With the exception of a few weeks, Herbert has delivered consistently.2 Minnesota Vikings WR By now, you’ve all probably heard the audio of urging to throw him the ball. Jefferson’s output would have been even more noteworthy if that touchdown was tacked on to the rest. Jefferson is one of the best young wide receivers in the league and he knows it. He has a level of swag every time he takes the field.3 New England Patriots OT I have no complaints with anyone wanting to flip the order of these next two linemen. They have both been fantastic in 2020. Michael Onwenu has shown his versatility and a profe sional attitude that has Chris Bassitt Jersey endeared himself to a coach widely regarded as the biggest Grinch in the league.4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers OT is a great example of betting on traits. He was an athletic specimen who ran fast for his size and jumps like a gra shopper. There were some i sues with his technique but his desire to work on his craft has rendered those fleeting memories an afterthought.5 Washington Football Team DE impact has been greater than his production but I also don’t think he has performed quite to the level many had expected, including myself. The succe s of last year’s rookie cla s might have brought unfair expectations to the Ohio State product.6 Carolina Panthers OLB In Dennis Eckersley Jersey terms of impact plays, has made more than any other rookie on defense. He often finds himself in the right position at the right time and has been one of the most versatile defenders in the league.7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers SS Antoine Winfield Jr. made a great play in coverage midway through the fourth quarter to hold Atlanta to a field goal. It proved to be the difference in the game. The rookie continues to make plays every week.8 Indianapolis Colts FS has tapered off a bit with this defense but he has flashed a bright future in Indianapolis.9 New York Jets OT The finally got a victory and, although thoughts on the situation were not well-received by fans in New York, Matt Chapman Jersey they were able to avoid becoming the third team in league history to go 0-16. General manager Joe Douglas has a lot of work ahead of him this offseason but Becton is one of those building blocks for the future.10 Jacksonville Jaguars RB Baltimore was able to stifle on the ground but he did haul in a nice throw from . Robinson continues to be one of the most versatile rookie running backs in the game.11 Detroit Lions OG has been really good for Detroit when he has been on the field, which begs the question why he was not playing more when healthy. has been really good for Detroit, too, helping Swift and others.12 Atlanta Falcons CB The rookie cornerback cla s has been a mixed bag this year. C.J. Henderson started the year off well and hasn’t played poorly. A.J. Terrell started the year a little slow and has since picked up the pace. Consistency will be imperative to their respective careers and eventually earning those mega deals.13 Cincinnati Bengals WR Similar to situation in Dallas, ‘ production has started to tumble in the absence of . There Yusmeiro Petit Jersey is no le s belief in his capabilities, however. When Lamb and Higgins’ quarterback situation returns to normal, those two will begin to make a name for themselves once again.14 Indianapolis Colts RB is starting to find his groove now that Indianapolis is rolling with him. He has had four straight games of 80-plus yards rushing and has been a factor in the pa s game as well.15 Kansas City Chiefs CB was impre sive in Week 1 when he was forced to take the field but an injury cost him some time this season. His play against the was another feather in his cap.
