Madden 25 Player Ratings For Week 16 – Josh Allen Nears 99

Dec 20, 2024

As a die-hard football enthusiast who’s been playing Madden for decades, I can confidently say that this week’s update has got me excited! The ratings changes reflect the ebb and flow of the season, with players like Tristan Wirfs, Davante Adams, and Jayden Daniels seeing a well-deserved boost.

The latest Madden 25 Player Ratings update has been released just before Week 16, and standout players such as Josh Allen, Terry McLaurin, and others have experienced an improvement in their Overall Rating (OVR). Interestingly, every team this week underwent some modifications. Numerous players have seen a positive jump in their rating, but unfortunately, some saw a drop due to subpar performance. Let’s delve into the details without any further delay.

Madden 25 Player Ratings For Week 16 – Biggest Winners & Losers

  • Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills – 97 OVR (+1) – Madden 25 Ratings

Josh Allen is convincingly arguing for both the MVP award and membership in the Madden 25 99 Club. Similar to Baltimore Ravens’ players Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, Allen appears worthy of joining this elite group. If he maintains his current form, he could potentially displace Kansas City Chiefs’ TE Travis Kelce from the club, as Kelce has had a good, but not exceptional season thus far. In his last two games alone, Allen has accumulated 10 total touchdowns and amassed over 850 yards.

  • Terry McLaurin, Washington Commanders – 93 OVR (+1)

Over the past three weeks, McLaurin has been exceptional, catching 20 passes for a total of 248 yards. Interestingly, a fourth of those receptions have resulted in touchdowns. This season, he’s already scored 11 touchdowns, which is a significant career best for him. Moreover, his contributions to the growth and development of rookie QB Jayden Daniels are crucial, enhancing the overall performance of this offense. After all, they nicknamed him “Scary Terry” for a reason.

  • Derek Stingley Jr., Houston Texans – 92 OVR (+3)

Who else deserves a #Madden25 Ratings Boost?

Houston has been impressively selecting skilled players in recent drafts, with one standout being Derek Stingley Jr.. Last week, he shone against the Dolphins, snagging two interceptions that left their offense struggling to advance. Tua Tagovailoa attempted 40 passes, yet failed to surpass 200 yards, while neither Jaylen Waddle nor Tyreek Hill managed a catch or significant yardage respectively.

  • Trent McDuffie, Kansas City Chiefs – 92 OVR (+1)

Last week, Jameis Winston threw more interceptions, with Trent McDuffie of the Chiefs’ defense managing to grab one. McDuffie, along with the rest of the Kansas City defense, has been crucial in contributing to their 13-1 record. The team is likely to depend on its defensive unit even more if Patrick Mahomes’ ankle injury worsens. This weekend, they’ll face off against C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans.

  • Mike Evans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers – 94 OVR (+1)

It’s plausible that Evans could rack up another 1,000 yards this season, but it won’t come without a fight. Last week, he demonstrated his prowess with nine receptions for 159 yards and two touchdowns in the team’s convincing 40-17 victory against the Chargers. However, the Bucs are currently focused on winning their remaining games to secure a playoff berth. They first need to win in Dallas before facing off against the Panthers and Saints at home. With this final stretch upon us, it’s likely that Evans will be crucial to their efforts.

So, make sure to revisit this space to discover who’s gaining and losing the most with each update.

As for Week 16’s game, it kicked off yesterday as the L.A. Chargers triumphed over the Denver Broncos with a score of 34-27. In the thick of things, the Broncos had an 11-point advantage midway through the third quarter, but they surrendered three touchdowns to the Chargers in the last 18 minutes of playtime. Unfortunately for both teams, their rookie QB, Bo Nix, found it challenging to advance the ball, frequently opting for short passes instead of long-range throws. However, there’s still a possibility that either team could qualify for this season’s playoffs.

Despite that, we eagerly anticipate the upcoming player ratings refresh. Meanwhile, don’t hesitate to explore some of our Madden 25 guides, covering topics like passing, catching, kicking, and much more. Also, have a glance at who Madden 25 predicts will emerge victorious this weekend. So far, Madden 25 has had a successful season with a record of 153 wins against 72 losses (taking last night’s prediction into account), since Week 1.
