Key Takeaways

• Antonio Williams has climbed to the top of the rookie power rankings after capitalizing on increased snap share, recording 7 targets with 7 receptions for 88 yards and a TD across two games, including a Week 1 64-yard, 1-TD performance.
• Sonny Styles has become the focal point on defense, starting every snap and handling green-dot responsibilities; through two games he has 7 tackles, a sack, two tackles for loss, and three pressures, with durability and playcalling noted as key factors in his rising profile.
• Drew Stevens dropped two spots despite notching 3-of-5 field goals and 3-of-4 extra points; his 55-yard long field goal and a 50-plus yard success rate are weighed against two misses and the emergence of Williams and Styles in the ranking.
• Kaytron Allen moved up one place with 9 carries for 40 yards (4.4 ypc) and 3.78 yards after contact per attempt, but his role remains limited behind other backs, keeping his future upside contingent on more opportunities.
• Athan Kaliakmanis has moved closer to a game-day role due to roster decisions and injuries at quarterback, though he has yet to throw a regular-season pass, leaving his exact impact to be determined once he sees playtime.
• Joshua Josephs has seen reduced defensive snaps (13 Week 1, 7 Week 2) and has yet to register a pressure through 20 snaps, signaling a potential stall in the trajectory from summer momentum to regular-season production.
• Matt Gulbin finally appeared for four snaps against Dallas with a clean performance (71.5 PFF grade, no pressures), while Tanoa Togiai remains inactive and behind Cosmi on the depth chart, keeping his immediate impact limited.
