Madden 18: Week 16 Roster Ratings Update
Highlights
The highlights of this week’s roster update feature changes to players from the Jaguars, Lions and Chargers collectively. All three teams have at least two players who saw significant changes in their overall ratings. Jaquars QB Blake Bortles and WR Keelan Cole were rewarded for big games. Both players received two meaningful points to their overall ratings. QB Jimmy Garoppolo gets a much deserved ratings boost as he also gained two points in his overall.
QB’s Philip Rivers and Dak Prescott both struggled and suffered a one point loss in their overall ratings as a result. Staying with QB’s, there were three players whose overall ratings climbed up by one point. QB’s Nick Foles, Jameis Winston and Cam Newton each gained one point in their rating.

Fellow AFC West HB, Melvin Gordon also saw a two point ratings boost putting him at an 88. Lions HB’s Ameer Abdullah and rookie Tion Green both witnessed their overall ratings drastically change.
