This past week, the folks at EA Sports steadily unveiled this year’s player ratings for Madden 24, as the game is now three weeks away from its August 15 release date. Player ratings are always a source of debate, but they do provide at least a decent look at each team’s strengths and weaknesses, with the understanding that preseason ratings can never account for any major leaps players could potentially make in an offseason.
Coming into the 2023 season there’s at least a bit of optimism in Houston after using back-to-back picks in the top five of this year’s draft to land players they hope will be franchise cornerstones on both sides of the ball. CJ Stroud (73 OVR) figures to step into the starting job immediately, while Will Anderson Jr (78 OVR) will hope to be the next great edge rusher for the Texans. Around them, the roster is a bit rough — and very young. Laremy Tunsil (95 OVR) is comfortably Houston’s best player, and will be Stroud’s best friend protecting him at left tackle. Jimmie Ward (87 OVR) leads the defense from his safety position, but there is no doubt this is a rebuilding team that figures to remain near the basement of the league. That’s fine, as this is a long game in Houston, and they’ll just hope to see enough glimpses from their two rookie stars to create hope of a bright future for the team once they fill the roster with talent around them.
Here is the full Madden 24 depth chart for the Texans, broken down by position with each player’s overall rating.
