Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens lead early 2026 AFC executive rankings and preseason projections as the top contenders, buoyed by Josh Allen’s elite play and a favorable outlook amid perceived regression from Kansas City and Baltimore. The Broncos, Texans, Ravens, and defending conference champion Patriots sit close behind in a crowded field where 11 teams project for eight-plus wins, heightening the importance of division titles and wild-card positioning. A competitive AFC West featuring the Chiefs, Chargers, and Broncos adds uncertainty, while roster additions, coaching shifts like Joe Brady in Buffalo, and quarterback development for players such as Drake Maye shape team trajectories. Schedule strength, injury management, and divisional tiebreakers will influence which squads secure byes or home wild-card games en route to the Divisional Round.
