As a die-hard football fan who’s seen my fair share of seasons and player ratings, I must say, this Madden 25 Player Ratings update after Week 2 has got me buzzing! The way T.J. Watt continues to dominate on the field is nothing short of spectacular, making him the undisputed king of linebackers in my book.

Watt, Saquon Barkley, and others. Notably, some players experienced a drop in their Overall Rating (OVR) due to their performance in Week 1.

Overall, some of the most notable movers this week include:

  • T.J. Watt (Pittsburgh Steelers) – 98 OVR (+1)

Currently, the top linebacker in the league serves as the primary focus of the Pittsburgh Steelers. In their Week 1 win against the Falcons, Watt registered a sack, recovered a fumble, made two tackles for loss, and hit the quarterback, Kirk Cousins, on three separate occasions. Remarkably agile, Watt consistently outmaneuvers offensive linemen to reach the opposing team’s quarterback.

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

Regardless of the Giants’ offensive challenges, they boast one of the top defensive performers in the league with Dexter Lawrence II. Last week alone, Lawrence managed a sack, a tackle resulting in a loss of yards, and a quarterback hit. It remains uncertain how long General Manager Joe Schoen will hold onto his position, but it was a shrewd move on his part to secure Lawrence with an extension in 2023.

  • Saquon Barkley (Philadelphia Eagles) – 93 OVR (+1)

Without a doubt, Saquon Barkley thrived during his initial game with the Eagles, amassing 109 yards and scoring two touchdowns in their thrilling 34-29 victory over Green Bay. His opening run was somewhat tricky, but soon after, he showcased his signature skills. Barkley exhibited remarkable patience for a gap to open, and with the Eagles’ powerful offensive line paving the way, he proved unstoppable. Now, all that remains is for him to maintain his health.

  • Kyle Hamilton (Baltimore Ravens) – 87 OVR (-2)

The third-year safety made a costly error in in the 27-20 loss against the Chiefs when he let Xavier Worthy get an easy TD. Patrick Mahomes did throw a pick, but enjoyed an otherwise productive day where he completed over 70% of his passes for over 290 yards. But Hamilton is still a great safety who’ll likely shake off his rust in Week 2.

  • Joe Mixon (Houston Texans) – 92 OVR (+1)

Similar to Barkley, Mixon had a powerful debut with his new squad. He managed an impressive 5.3 yards each rush attempt, completing 30 runs in total for a grand total of 159 yards. The Texans can now depend not only on QB CJ Stroud but also on a potent running back who excels both in rushing and receiving. However, it’s crucial they regulate his workload more carefully, as carrying the ball 30 times per week might be too much for the 28-year old.

Additionally, several other players received notable OVR increases this week:

  • Tristan Wirfs – 95 OVR (+1)
  • Mike Evans – 92 OVR (+1)
  • Aidan Hutchinson – 89 OVR (+1)
  • Greg Rousseau – 87 OVR (+1)
  • Alvin Kamara – 86 OVR (+1)
  • Brock Purdy – 86 OVR (+1)
  • Garrett Wilson – 86 OVR (+1)
  • George Pickens – 85 OVR (+2)
  • T.J. Edwards – 85 OVR (+1)
  • Brandon Aubrey – 85 OVR (+3)
  • David Montgomery – 84 OVR (+1)
  • Julian Love – 84 OVR (+1)
  • Aaron Rodgers – 84 OVR (+1)
  • Harrison Butker – 84 OVR (+1)
  • Rashee Rice – 82 OVR (+1)
  • Jordan Love – 82 OVR (+1)
  • Baker Mayfield – 80 OVR (+1)

  • Tyron Smith – 93 OVR (-2).
  • Derrick Brown – 88 OVR (-2).
  • Justin Tucker – 87 OVR (-1)
  • Christian Wilkins – 86 OVR (-2)
  • Raheem Mostert – 85 OVR (-1)
  • Jalen Hurts – 85 OVR (-1). Additionally.

  • Jared Goff – 81 OVR (-1)
