Russel Wilson, from Seattle Seahawks, saw an increase of one point in his overall rating, taking it to 98. He gained a point each for his awareness and pressure throws. Zack Martin, from Dallas Cowboys, on the other hand, saw his rating go down a point after week 1, taking his overall to 97. He lost a point each in awareness and run block power.

Among the other gainers in the top 100 were Davante Adams from the Packers, Jamal Adams from the Seahawks, Josh Jacobs from Raiders, and Mark Andrews from the Ravens.
