Madden NFL 24 is set to release soon, so the game’s developers at EA Sports have started to reveal some positional rankings based off player grades. The New Orleans Saints offense is one that is not very highly regarded around the league right now, and the madden ratings that have been revealed really show that with a now numerical value.
The New Orleans Saints wide receivers rankings look like this: Chris Olave and Michael Thomas at 84 overall, Tre’Quan Smith at 75 overall, Rashid Saheed at 74 overall, Bryan Edwards and James Washington at 72 overall, Keke Coutee at 71 overall, rookie AT Perry at 68 overall, Keith Kirkwood at 66 overall and lastly Kawaan Baker at 62 overall.
Olave and Thomas being tied for the best receiver on the team, actually does make sense in my eyes. The other 84 overall receivers include Garrett Wilson and Marquise Brown.
There are two NFC South receivers ahead of the two Saints star targets, Mike Evans leads the way at a 90 overall followed by his teammate Chris Godwin at 86 overall.
One questionable stat that stood out is Shaheed being listed at 92 speed. Some of the skill based stats I could see Madden being weary with for a second year formerly undrafted player, but his speed rating being that low is confusing. Olave is faster than him at a 93 speed. Deebo Samuel, Garrett Wilson, Elijah Moore, Rashod Bateman and Alec Pierce are all at 92 speed. They aren’t slow, but Shaheed is another level of speed and watching him for any amount of time would make that clear.
Bottom line, the Saints wide receiver room has some work to do if they want to be seen as a more than just serviceable room across the league.
