You can check out the full list of rating updates on the official Madden 26 website, but we will cover the main rating overhauls.
Key Highlights From The Week 7 Ratings Update
This week’s update affects the top echelon of players in Madden 26. Most athletes have kept their top spot, while others have been boosted where needed.
For instance, wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, defensive end Myles Garrett, and offensive tackle Lane Johnson all hold strong in the 99 Club after dominant real-life performances. Josh Allen also maintains his 99 Overall rating, remaining one of the game’s most complete quarterbacks.
Similarly, Lamar Jackson and Micah Parsons hover in the 98 range after explosive weeks that reinforced their MVP-level impact. On the other hand, Derrek Brown gets a well-deserved bump to 96 OVR.
Players like Jonathan Taylor, Quenton Nelson, and Trey McBride have also been boosted to 94 OVR. Jaxon Smith-Njigba has received a huge boost, moving him into the 90s.
For Franchise and Ultimate Team players, this update does shake things up. You might need to recalibrate your rosters and maybe change your lineups. Weekly ratings do affect these modes a lot, and this week is no exception. While fans celebrate their favorite players getting boosts, the conversation around “snubs” continues. After all, Madden Ratings are the most talked-about feature in sports gaming.
The overall rating changes are positive and justified. There are no changes that you would call unfair. There have been previous weeks where the rating changes were not loved by the playerbase, but this week has been positive.
