Lamar Jackson’s 99 Club placing on the Madden 26 best players list isn’t the only example of the Ravens’ in-game brilliance. Baltimore has nine players rated 90 or over, with power back Derrick Henry clocking in on 98, and a defence marshalled by Roquan Smith on 94.

2 Philadelphia Eagles

Travis Kelce has been in the news for announcing girlfriend Taylor Swift’s 12th album, but he remains a force in Madden too – the veteran tight end’s rating this year is 93. Four Chiefs score even higher: Chris Jones (DT, 97), Patrick Mahomes (QB, 95), Trent McDuffie (CB, 94), and Creed Humphrey (C, 94).

4 Buffalo Bills - 89

99-rated signal-caller Josh Allen is a Prime Time showcase for the new set of Madden 26 QB Traits, but the Bills roster is well-rounded across the board. 16 players rated 79 or over make them a great choice for franchise mode, with exceptional depth should one or two leave after the first season.

5 Detroit Lions / Minnesota Vikings - 88

It’s a big NFC tussle for fifth spot, with Detroit and Minnesota sharing the same default rating. The Lions’ players are 96-rated duo Amon-Ra St Brown and Penei Sewell, while Justin Jefferson stands alone for the Vikings with another max score of 99.
