Wonder what Antonio Brown is rated. 110 receptions with 1,499 yards last year.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Top 5 Wide Receivers and Tight Ends

Demaryius Thomas should be top 3

Re: Madden NFL 15 Top 5 Wide Receivers and Tight Ends

I would assume Alshon Jeffery will be rated in the lower 90's. So he , along with Marshall , Forte , Bennett. This team will be tough this year.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Top 5 Wide Receivers and Tight Ends

I'm a little shocked by Andre Johnson's appearance but his ratings do make sense. I also expected Julius Thomas to be among the top 5 after his breakout year. Anyone dare guess at OL before tomorrow rankings?

1 iupati San Fran
2 Mathis Philly
3 clady denver
4 Thomas cle
5 nicks New Orleans

^5 pure guesses truly a shot in the dark

Re: Madden NFL 15 Top 5 Wide Receivers and Tight Ends

Hard to argue with either of those. Weird not seeing Tony G up there anymore. My first thought when thinking about the WR list before it came out was Calvin Johnson and everybody else.

Screenshots look nice. Good to see all the face scans.

As will the 'Boys offense.

I new someone was missing. I agree wiith you. I would venture to say he is prolly 6 or 7 on this list though.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Top 5 Wide Receivers and Tight Ends

I also love how they seperated the clear cut elite tight ends this year . Nice drop off after the top four.

Your probably right. But that defense ... ouch.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Top 5 Wide Receivers and Tight Ends

I would tie Demaryius with Dez for overall ability points. It is tough to not see Fitz in top 5 but thats how the world turns.

Player Model wise that AJ Green is looking a bit Hulky and would expect a more slender but defined look fr him.

No way. He's big, strong, and fast, but is still developing in many technical areas. He's 8th or 9th in the NFL right now, in my opinion of course.

Watch guys like Marshall go up and attack the ball in the air, DT doesn't do that yet. Can he catch a bubble screen and take it 80 yards? Yes, he can. That doesn't, in my eyes, make him a truly elite WR just yer.

Of course, as always, just my two cents.

I think these ratings are pretty good, typical Madden inflation not wishstanding.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Top 5 Wide Receivers and Tight Ends

I thought maybe they weren't handing out any 99's this year after Manning got a 98. Seems odd.

[William85]

Re: Madden NFL 15 Top 5 Wide Receivers and Tight Ends

Next 5 WR in no particular order ...

Demarius Thomas
Alshon Jeffery
Jordy Nelson
Desean Jackson
Antonio Brown
