Bleacher Report ranks NFC South as NFL's weakest division for 2026

Bleacher Report has listed the NFC South as the NFL's weakest division ahead of the 2026 season, placing it last in their preseason rankings. The ranking is based on last season's performance and offseason moves, reflecting that no team in this division had a winning record in 2025. Despite this, there are reasons for optimism with teams like Atlanta, New Orleans, Carolina, and Tampa Bay hoping for improved quarterback play and overall competitiveness. Tampa Bay faces challenges with notable losses, including Lavonte David's retirement and Mike Evans’ departure. Bleacher Report suggests the division may still see a competitive race this season, though questions remain about each team's potential.
