Latest Madden 26 Ratings Sees Big Gains For Puka, Big Losses For Tua

With two weeks of the 2025 NFL season behind us, Madden NFL 26’s ratings are beginning to take shape. Thirty of the league’s 32 teams saw at least one player’s overall rating change in the game’s latest patch, with some teams seeing five or six players moving up or down the ratings scale. The biggest gains from the latest Madden NFL patch include Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua, who rises to 90 overall from 88 one week ago, and Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson, who now sports at 93 overall rating. Other notable players gaining points including Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts rising to 87 overall, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert jumping to 88, and Herbert’s Charger teammate Derwin James hitting a 94 overall rating. Madden NFL 26Among the biggest drops this week is Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who drops four points to 78 overall, and New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson, who dropped two points to 74 overall despite a productive Week 2 game in Dallas. Other drops include Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix also dropping to 78, while Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson slips to 92 overall. The Philadelphia Eagles saw the most player adjustments, with 13 players affected by this week’s patch. Only two teams were left out of the ratings changes entirely this time around, both of them from the NFC South, as neither the Carolina Panthers nor the New Orleans Saints saw any movement in their players’ overall rating. Madden NFL 26 is available now on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. The full list of ratings changes can be found below.
