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.

After a solid close to the 2022 season and then landing Bryce Young (74 OVR) in the draft, the Panthers come into 2023 with optimism about where the franchise is going after five straight years without a playoff appearance. Snapping that drought would be a surprise this year, but they will hope to see positive strides after bolstering their roster on the offensive line and at the skill positions to try and give Young the support he needs on offense. Adam Thielen (83 OVR) comes in to provide a veteran receiver for Young, while Miles Sanders (86 OVR) is coming off a terrific season running the ball in Philadelphia. On defense, Brian Burns (87 OVR) and Derrick Brown (84 OVR) headline a young defense that has some very talented players, and there’s reason to believe this Panthers team can be competitive next year, provided Young is able to navigate his rookie year as well as his pedigree suggests.

Here is the full Madden 24 depth chart for the Panthers, broken down by position with each player’s overall rating.

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.

As the New Orleans Saints enter the 2023 season, they’ll be looking at a wide open division thinking they have a very good chance to snap a two-year playoff drought. Derek Carr (78 OVR) comes to town looking to capitalize on a fresh start after almost a decade with the Raiders, and has some real weapons to enjoy in New Orleans. Chris Olave (84 OVR) broke out last year and Michael Thomas (84 OVR) is back, while Alvin Kamara (86 OVR) will miss the start of the season on a suspension but will eventually give Carr a dynamic pass-catcher out of the backfield. On defense, there are some stalwarts like Cam Jordan (87 OVR), Demarrio Davis (90 OVR), Tyrann Mathieu (91 OVR), and Marshon Lattimore (90 OVR) throughout all three levels, but success on that end will be dependent on how the others fill the gaps between them.

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.

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 Arizona Cardinals are fully in rebuild mode for the 2023 season. They have a new head coach and new GM turning over the roster around Kyler Murray (79 OVR) who will miss all of this upcoming season rehabbing a torn ACL. As such, this will be an evaluation year to see who can stick and who might be on the move soon. There are some interesting players on both sides of the ball, but quarterback will be an adventure and they figure to give their young guys lots of opportunity to play and make mistakes. Hollywood Brown (84 OVR) and Rondale Moore (80 OVR) are now the leaders in the receiver room after they released DeAndre Hopkins. They’ll hope the offensive line starts to come together after selecting Paris Johnson Jr (77 OVR) at the top of this year’s draft, as they try to do a better job protecting Murray in the future. On defense, Budda Baker (90 OVR) leads a young group with some intriguing talent like Zaven Collins (76 OVR), but it’s overall not expected to be a strong group.

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.

Life came at the Rams quickly in their title defense in 2022, and they enter 2023 in an interesting position. There’s still some talent on the roster, but it’s not clear if there’s enough (or enough depth) to be a contender again, with no real hope of reinforcements in the near future after trading so many draft assets to make that title run. Aaron Donald (99 OVR) is still the most dominant defensive force in football, but there’s not a ton around him right now on that side after they traded Jalen Ramsey to Miami. Cooper Kupp (96 OVR) is still one of the best receivers in football, but likewise, he’s a bit on an island and needs Matthew Stafford (75 OVR) to bounce back from a down year that raised questions about the condition of his shoulder. All told, the Rams don’t appear to be a legit threat in the NFC on paper despite having a pair of the best players in all of the NFL, and how this season goes will likely decide whether big changes are on the horizon in L.A.

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 Seahawks slipped into the playoffs last year as the last Wild Card team, which was a shocking result after trading Russell Wilson away in the offseason. Geno Smith (81 OVR) had a spectacular season getting the chance to start again, providing one of the best stories in the NFL, and now the question is whether he can back it up. Kenneth Walker III (87 OVR) emerged as one of the NFL’s best young backs and Tyler Lockett (89 OVR) and DK Metcalf (88 OVR) remain a top-tier receiving duo — with Jaxon Smith-Njigba (78 OVR) as an intriguing rookie addition. On defense, they’re led by their second level, with Bobby Wagner (89 OVR) still patrolling the middle at linebacker, Jamal Adams (88 OVR) and Quandre Diggs (87 OVR) making up an elite secondary, and Tariq Woolen (83 OVR) an emerging star at corner. Seattle has some questions on both of their lines, but if those hold up they could absolutely be in the mix for a playoff spot again this season, even as they rebuild a bit with young talent.

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 49ers season a year ago was cursed when it came to quarterback health, as they saw Trey Lance (71 OVR), Jimmy Garoppolo, and Brock Purdy (73 OVR) all suffer season-ending injuries, leading to a dismal NFC title game loss to the Eagles in which they had no quarterbacks to play. Purdy emerged as a surprising star and enters this season as the presumptive starter, but quarterback is still the question hanging over the Niners when it comes to their hopes of being a contender. There are stars all over, with Christian McCaffrey (96 OVR) and Deebo Samuel (89 OVR) headlining on offense, while Nick Bosa (98 OVR) and Fred Warner (96 OVR) lead the defense. The expectation is they will, again, be one of the league’s best on that side, even with DeMeco Ryans off coaching in Houston, but there are questions on the offensive line aside from Trent Williams (98 OVR) and the aforementioned curiosity as to whether Purdy can recapture the magic from last year. If so, this is a contender, but they will not be among the absolute favorites due to the lack of a QB with pedigree.

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.

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 Eagles came so close to another Super Bowl title last year, only to fall just short against the Chiefs, but Philadelphia comes into 2023 as the favorites once again in the NFC. The offense is led by returning stars Jalen Hurts (88 OVR), AJ Brown (91 OVR), DeVonta Smith (87 OVR), and Dallas Goedert (89 OVR), while they overhauled their running back room, now led by D’Andre Swift (81 OVR). Swift will be running behind the best offensive line in football, with Lane Johnson (98 OVR), Jason Kelce (92 OVR), and Jordan Mailata (87 OVR) as the standouts up front. On defense, Darius Slay Jr (92 OVR) leads the secondary, while Haason Reddick (90 OVR) is their top pass rusher. They saw some turnover up front but still are led by Fletcher Cox (81 OVR) in the middle, with the two young Georgia Bulldogs (of many on the roster) Jordan Davis (79 OVR) and Jalen Carter (79 OVR) stepping into key roles this season. There aren’t a lot of questions for this Eagles team, but if they do exist they are up the middle in the back end, where middle linebacker and safety are a bit unproven. Still, this is a loaded roster where the goal is to win a Super Bowl, and provided their stars stay healthy, they’ll be the favorites to emerge from the NFC.

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.

A year ago, the New York Giants were among the league’s biggest surprises, as they vaulted into the playoffs in Brian Daboll’s first season as head coach, beating the Vikings in the Wild Card before getting thumped by the Eagles in the Divisional round. Now, they have to back that up when there are expectations on them. Daniel Jones (75 OVR) was rewarded with a big contract this offseason, while Saquon Barkley (93 OVR) failed to get his and will holdout through camp before deciding whether to sign the franchise tag. Without Barkley, the Giants rushing attack takes a major hit and more pressure would fall on Jones’ shoulders in the passing game, with a middling receiving corps around him. However, Darren Waller (86 OVR) being added to the roster should provide Jones with a new favorite safety valve at tight end. While the offense was solid last year, it was the defense that led the way for New York, headlined by Dexter Lawrence (94 OVR) in the middle of the defensive line. Whether that group can remain as stingy as they were a year ago will likely determine how much of their success they can replicate in 2023, barring another leap from Jones not many see coming.
