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 Commanders were the odd team out in 2022 in the NFC East, finishing 8-8-1 just behind the Giants. Coming into the 2023 season, there’s positivity around the team, not so much out of an expectation things will be better on the field, but because Dan Snyder is finally out as owner of the franchise. In the immediate, Washington again looks like the third or fourth best team in the division, as they simply don’t have a top-end QB. Jacoby Brissett (72 OVR) is perfectly serviceable and Sam Howell (66) is a mystery as a young player, but in a division with Jalen Hurts and Dak Prescott, they’re pretty far behind. Still, this is an excellent defensive unit, headlined by one of the league’s best defensive fronts that may look even better with Chase Young (85 OVR) healthy again. He joins Jonathan Allen (93 OVR), Daron Payne (83 OVR), and Montez Sweat (82 OVR) to create a formidable line. Behind them is a solid secondary led by Kendall Fuller (87 OVR), and if the linebacker play can suffice, this could be, once again, one of the NFL’s stingiest defensive groups. Whether the offense can produce enough to give them the help they need remains to be seen, but they should be a miserable team to face once again this season.
