Happy Monday, Madden fans!Madden NFL 23 Ratings Week kicks off today on @espn! Let us know your thoughts on the newest members of the 99 Club! Davante Adams Myles Garrett Aaron Donald Trent Williams What do you think of the ratings that have been posted so far? Which players' ratings updates are you most excited to see? You can find the full schedule of ratings updates at the Madden NFL 23 website.

TJ Watt gets a 96 while Myles Garrett gets a 99? TJ Watt led pass rushers in quite literally every statistical category. More sacks, more forced fumbles, more pass breakups, more solo tackles, more tackles for loss. The only two things Myles Garrett led in: assisted tackles and games played. TJ Watt beat him in every major statistical category for pass rushers and he did it in two less games. Not even to mention that he tied the single season sack record and won DPOY. I mean c'mon.... who at Madden has something against TJ Watt?

@tylerstale2828 TJ does have better traditional stats but I would say that’s a product of him playing with a better Defensive line than Myles in a defense that blitzes more giving him better opportunities. Myles does have a lot better advanced metrics like pass rush win rate, he’s doubled at a higher rate and wins those double teams more often than TJ. He’s also a much better athlete which definitely plays a factor in ratings. Both are great though.

Deebo Samuel is tied at 13th Wide Receiver. He should at least be in the top 10. His numbers had him at 4th best WR in the NFL. You can't argue with numbers. Last season (regular season & playoffs ) 87 catches , 1559 receiving yards , 16 TDs , 502 rushing yards. He also returned some punts & some kick offs. It's not often you see a player in the NFL with 2,000 plus all purpose yards. There should be more respect for his name & his game. Updates were given , but still no plays with Deebo at RB. Deebo attributes were low as RB as well.. Didn't see any running plays with him at RB in the beta either. This extra element should not be left out the game. He only has a 71 in carries. He ran the ball 86 times. Deebo is one of the best when it comes to YAC as well as one of the best when he has the balls in his hands. Its hard for people to bring him down. His JUKE , BREAK TACKLE , SPIN , TRUCK , & STIFF ARM ratings should all be rated higher.

Chris Olave over Drake London? Is this the importance of speed in OVR showing up again?A quick suggestion - maybe have a place to show dev traits?

Jimmy Ward is known for shutting down anyone he covers. He can play all the positions in the secondary. Jimmy Ward man coverage is only a 77. It should be much higher. Jimmy Ward was only targeted 33 times & only allowed 17 receptions on him. You will not find another Safety in the NFL that was targeted less & had less receptions caught on him. Tyrann Mathieu was targeted 47 times & allowed 35 receptions . Mathieu's man coverage is a 90. Derwin James Jr. was targeted 58 times & allowed 35 receptions . James's man coverage is a 87. These stats come from PFF. Jimmy Ward does not get the credit he deserves because he doesn't get a lot of interceptions like most safeties cause QBs don't throw at him much . Unlike most safeties ; Jimmy Ward asked to do more Man coverage then any other safety. Elijah Mitchell was a rookie last year that only played 11 games in the regular season ; 13 if you count the playoff. In 13 games Elijah Mitchell had 1,132 rushing yards , 6 rushing TDs , 26 receptions , 194 receiving yards & 1 receiving TD. He didn't fumble not one time during the whole season . His carries should be higher along with his OVR. All the other RBs got hurt on the 9ers squad so he had to carry the load. With him taking most of the carries ; he got hurt. That caused him to miss some games. A 80 OVR is very disrespectful. Najee Harris was a rookie last season as well & he is a 85. He only had a better season cause he played 17 games & had a 100 more carries then Elijah Mitchell. Najee Harris played 17 games and had 1,200 yards rushing , 7 rushing TDs , 74 receptions , 467 receiving yards, 3 receiving TDs.

Charvarius Ward is not getting the love he should get in his ratings. Charvarisus Ward is real good in man coverage. Here are the stats broken down from PFF ( Pro Football Focus) .PFF says how many times QB targeted them & how many times someone caught the ball on them as well. I also put their MCV ( man coverage rating ) in madden. Good CBs don't get the ball thrown their way as much cause they have their man locked down. Charvarius Ward's man coverage rating should be higher. Just take a look at the facts. You can't argue with numbers. Men lie , women lie , numbers don't .
Charvarius Ward
Targeted 72 times
Receptions allowed 36
Madden Man Coverage Rating 79
Xavien Howard
Targeted 84 times
Receptions allowed 48
Madden Man Coverage Rating 89
Tre'Davious White
Targeted 58 times
Receptions allowed 31
Madden Man Coverage Rating 93
Jalen Ramsey
Targeted 93 times
Receptions Allowed 59
Madden Man Coverage Rating 98

IMO, this is the best 99 Club we have had in years. Can't wait to get started.

The back-to-back MVP is only a 96, and he's behind the aging (albeit extremely slowly) Tom Brady?

Aidan Hutchinson and Josh Paschal should be Defensive End not Outside Linebacker. Also Von Miller should be Outside Linebacker not Defensive End
