Madden 25 Player Ratings For Week 7 – Derrick Henry Thrives

As someone who’s spent countless hours huddled around the television screen, controller in hand, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and disappointment with this week’s Madden 25 player ratings update. On one hand, it’s always thrilling to see new faces joining the ranks of the top-tier players, like Aidan Hutchinson and Ja’Marr Chase, who are now among the elite. But on the other, it’s disheartening to see veterans like Sauce Gardner, Jalen Ramsey, and Davante Adams taking a hit in their ratings.


In this week, the latest Madden 25 Player Rating Update has been released. Notably, players such as Derrick Henry and Patrick Surtain II have experienced substantial increases in their Overall Ranking (OVR). Moreover, a variety of other players underwent modifications in this update, reflecting their Week 6 performance and the broader seasonal trends. So, let’s dive into the Madden 25 Player Ratings Update for Week 7!

Madden 25 Player Ratings Update For Week 7

In Week 7, we highlighted some athletes whose Madden 25 Player Ratings saw an impressive increase due to their outstanding performance up until then.

  • Derrick Henry (Baltimore Ravens) – 97 OVR (+1)

Heading to the Top

Does @KingHenry_2 deserve that 99 OVR in #Madden25

With Jackson leading the charge from the line of scrimmage and Henry powering through on the ground, the Ravens’ offense appears fully assembled. This ex-Titan currently leads the NFL in rushing touchdowns, yards, and carries, which is quite an achievement at his age, being 31 in January. Yet, it seems he handles a heavy workload effortlessly. In their recent 30-23 triumph over Washington, Henry rushed 24 times for 132 yards and scored twice. Given his impressive performance, EA Sports might want to include him in the coveted 99 Club.

  • Patrick Surtain II (Denver Broncos) – 97 OVR (+1)

The top cornerback in the league is getting closer to joining an elite group (the 99 Club). However, Surtain was unable to play during last night’s win against the Saints as he was still undergoing concussion protocol. Denver’s defense managed without him last night, but his presence would have been beneficial against the Chargers. When Surtain II comes back, we anticipate that he will remind everyone why he is highly rated. Furthermore, considering he’s only 24 years old, it might be a good idea to acquire this player in Madden 25 Franchise mode.

  • Dexter Lawrence II (New York Giants) – 96 OVR (+1)

#2 Rated DT in #Madden25 for a reason

Lawrence and the stalwart defense of the Giants put up an impressive performance against Cincinnati. Moreover, he has accumulated his seventh sack of the season, achieving this feat in only six games. It’s crucial to note that while the Giants currently have a 2-4 record, players like Lawrence should not be held responsible for their standing. He is steadily approaching a 99 Overall Rating, and if he maintains his current form throughout the year, he could reach this lofty mark. Lastly, the 26-year-old Nose Tackle is certainly a player to keep an eye on in the Madden 25 Franchise Mode.

  • Joe Burrow (Cincinnati Bengals) – 94 OVR (+1)

The Cincinnati Bengals have had a rocky start to their season, but they’ve managed to win their last three games, with the offense scoring 33 points or more in over a third of their recent matches. However, starting the year poorly is not something the Bengals aim to repeat. Nevertheless, they find themselves needing to persist, relying on stars like Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase as they travel to Cleveland this weekend.

  • Xavier McKinney (Green Bay Packers) – 90 OVR (+2)

In a stellar performance for the Packers, McKinney leads the NFL with five interceptions, and the team’s defense has limited opponents to fewer than 20 points in four out of six games this season. This impressive display earned McKinney as a valuable free agent acquisition by the Packers. The team also boasts the best turnover differential in the league (9), with McKinney contributing significantly with six of the total 17 turnovers forced so far this year. We anticipate that his Madden 25 rating could see an upgrade in the coming weeks.

Moreover, numerous other team members were granted a boost to their Madden Player Ratings before the start of Week 7.

  • Aidan Hutchinson – 94 OVR (+1)
  • Mike Evans – 94 OVR (+1)
  • Ja’Marr Chase – 93 OVR (+1)
  • Trent McDuffie – 92 OVR (+1)
  • Josh Jacobs – 89 OVR (+1)
  • D.K. Metcalf – 89 OVR (+2)
  • Kendall Fuller – 88 OVR (+1)
  • Brian Branch – 86 OVR (+1)
  • Chris Godwin – 86 OVR (+1)
  • David Montgomery – 85 OVR (+1)
  • Christian Gonzales – 85 OVR (+4)
  • Zay Flowers – 85 OVR (+1)
  • James Conner – 85 OVR (+1)
  • C.J. Stroud – 85 OVR (+2)
  • Will Anderson Jr – 85 OVR (+1)
  • Bijan Robinson – 84 OVR (+1)
  • Jordan Love – 83 OVR (+1)
  • Brock Bowers – 81 OVR (+2)

However, many players received a decrease to their Madden 25 player rating ahead of Week 7:

  • Sauce Gardner – 96 OVR (-1)
  • Zack Martin – 95 OVR (-2)
  • Jalen Ramsey – 95 OVR (-1)

  • Michael Pittman Jr – 85 OVR (-1)
  • Justin Herbert – 84 OVR (-2)
  • George Pickens – 83 OVR (-2)
  • Calvin Ridley – 81 OVR (-2)

In summary, you’ll find the major adjustments in Madden 25 Player Ratings before Week 7. But don’t forget to explore the entire list for detailed changes per team. Also, remember that EA Sports will continually release updates on players following each week. So, stay tuned to catch the latest significant changes.

In terms of Week 7, it all started last night as the Denver Broncos outperformed the Saints with a scoreline of 33-10. I must admit, the Saints’ offense, which had been impressive in their first two games, seemed to unravel, becoming one of the least effective. Interestingly, even the formidable Alvin Kamara from the Saints was contained by the Broncos, managing just 24 yards on his 13 total touches.

Regardless, we’re excited for the upcoming player rating adjustments. Meanwhile, don’t hesitate to explore some of our Madden 25 tutorials covering passing, receiving, kicking, and other aspects.
