NFL offensive line rankings ahead of Week 11

Indianapolis’ restored pass protection (five pressures, no sacks) boosts their win probability; bettors may lean toward Colts team totals and QB passing-over props or expect fewer sack-related player props to hit. Consider backing Colts spreads or QB props if lines reflect improved protection.

Team-by-team breakdown

1. Denver Broncos — Week 10 review

Projected Week 11 starters: LT Garett Bolles, LG Alex Palczewski, C Luke Wattenberg, RG Quinn Meinerz, RT Mike McGlinchey. Denver’s line protected efficiently in a Week 10 win over Las Vegas, yielding six pressures and no sacks across 31 pass plays. The unit posted a 90.3 pass-blocking efficiency rating, tied for fifth in the league that week. Backup left guard Alex Palczewski, filling in for an injured starter, did not allow a pressure and posted one of the higher pass-blocking grades among guards.

Best player — Garett Bolles

Bolles leads the group with an 88.8 overall grade this season that ranks among the top left tackles. His consistency on the edge has been a key factor in Denver’s improved protection numbers.

2. Indianapolis Colts — Week 10 review

Projected starters entering bye: LT Bernhard Raimann, LG Quenton Nelson, C Tanor Bortolini, RG Matt Goncalves, RT Braden Smith. Indianapolis rebounded from a rough outing in Week 9 to lock down pass protection against Atlanta. The line permitted just five pressures and no sacks on 39 pass plays, producing a league-leading 93.6 pass-blocking efficiency for the week. Left tackle Bernhard Raimann allowed only one quarterback hurry and posted one of the top pass-blocking grades among tackles.

Best player — Quenton Nelson

Nelson did not surrender any pressure in Week 10 and recorded the highest pass-blocking grade among offensive linemen that week. His presence at left guard continues to anchor Indianapolis’ interior protection.

What this means for the rest of the season

Offensive-line trends influence playcalling, quarterback health and betting markets tied to sacks, QB pressures and team totals. Units that show consistent reduction in pressures and sacks can lift a team’s passing game and make certain player and team props more attractive to bettors. Keep monitoring injury reports and starter continuity, as replacements can swing both on-field outcomes and market lines quickly.

The Broncos hold at the top, while the Colts and Bills round out the top three.
