The Top 50 NFL Players for 2018
At the end of every NFL season, Pro Football Focus puts together its "Best 101 Players" of that year. But as we approach the preseason, the team is taking a look at the best players in the game overall right now.
Instead of 101, the list has been broken down into the top 50 players heading the 2018 season — chosen by the PGG team and informed by grading, statistics, and schematic context. For the second consecutive season, Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald topped the list as the No. 1 player for 2018.

"The No. 1 player on the list a year ago, somehow Donald has only gotten better for the Rams, and he may be in an even better situation heading into 2018 with additions like Suh to the defensive line. Donald led the league in total pressures (91) in 2017, despite playing only 14 games and doing it from a predominantly inside alignment. Donald is the best player in football right now and practically unblockable when it comes to generating pressure."
Fellow Rams defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh also earned a spot on this year's Top 50, landing at No. 36.
