The offensive ratings board is open. EA has published 10 players at five major position groups, giving Madden Underground its clearest look yet at the rosters that could define the early Madden NFL 27 meta.
Five offensive players reach 99 overall: Matthew Stafford, Josh Allen, Ja’Marr Chase, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Trey McBride. The running-back and offensive-line groups stop just short of perfection, with Jahmyr Gibbs and Penei Sewell leading their respective boards at 98.

Stafford and Allen share QB1. Both launch at 99, while Joe Burrow sits two points back and Patrick Mahomes opens fifth at 93.
The receiver ceiling is crowded. Chase and Smith-Njigba share 99, Puka Nacua follows at 98, and Justin Jefferson lands fifth at 94.
Gibbs takes over the running-back board. His 98 edges McCaffrey’s 97, with every top-five back rated 94 or higher.
McBride owns the biggest No. 1 cushion. His 99 is three points above George Kittle and six above Brock Bowers.
The offensive line is deep. Sewell leads at 98, but nine other linemen remain tightly packed between 94 and 97.
