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.
The defending champion Kansas City Chiefs are once again the favorites in the 2023 season, thanks largely to the presence of Patrick Mahomes (99 OVR) under center and his favorite target, Travis Kelce (99 OVR), at tight end. Chris Jones (96 OVR) headlines the defense up front — provided the Chiefs get a new deal done with him to end his holdout soon — along with Nick Bolton (87 OVR) at linebacker and L’Jarius Sneed (84 OVR) in the secondary. The biggest questions facing this Chiefs team from the Madden player ratings staff are on the outside of the defensive line around Jones and at receiver, where there is not a clear No. 1 option on the outside for Mahomes. Last year, that didn’t matter much to him as he spread the ball around, with Kelce serving as his No. 1 target, and its safe to say it will be, yet again, an egalitarian approach at wide receiver around Kelce as the focal point of the passing game.
Here is the full Madden 24 depth chart for the Chiefs, broken down by position with each player’s overall rating.
