This past week, the folks at EA Sports steadily unveiled this year’s player ratings for Madden 24, as the game is now three weeks away from its August 15 release date. Player ratings are always a source of debate, but they do provide at least a decent look at each team’s strengths and weaknesses, with the understanding that preseason ratings can never account for any major leaps players could potentially make in an offseason.
The post-Tom Brady era in Tampa officially begins this fall, with Baker Mayfield (72 OVR) getting another shot as a starter in the NFL. He has some real weapons with Mike Evans (90 OVR) and Chris Godwin (86 OVR) leading the receiving corps, but there are a few spots of bother on the offensive line and an unclear direction coming off a rather dismal offensive season last year. That said, the defense should be good again, with Vita Vea (88 OVR) up front, Lavonte David (91 OVR) at linebacker, and Antoine Winfield Jr (87 OVR) and Jamel Dean (85 OVR) leading a terrific secondary. In an NFC South that doesn’t have a dominant team, there’s room for the Bucs to possibly stay up top, but it’ll require Mayfield to be more consistent than he’s ever been as a starter and the defense to not miss a beat.
Here is the full Madden 24 depth chart for the Buccaneers, broken down by position with each player’s overall rating.
