Eagles rookie linebacking sensation Jordan Hicks is out for the season because of a torn pectoral muscle suffered in the 33-27 victory over the Cowboys Sunday night.
But the rest of the league and the media have recognized just how good Hicks has played.
Hicks stays at the top spot because he again played well before the injury occurred. But he’ll likely drop if anyone behind him can step up in the near future.
Here are Bleacher Report’s rankings:
| Rank | Player | Pos. | Team | Pick | LW | Moving |
| 1 | Jordan Hicks | LB | Eagles | 3.20 | 1 | Same |
