Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb earned boosts to their overall ratings in the latest Madden 24 update.
Jackson was phenomenal during the Ravens’ 56-19 victory over the Miami Dolphins, throwing for 321 yards and five touchdowns on just 21 pass attempts which resulted in a perfect 158.3 passer rating.
Lamb destroyed the Detroit Lions, hauling in 13 receptions for 227 yards and a touchdown. After his big night, he now holds Dallas’ single-season record for catches as well as receiving yards. Lamb has 122 receptions for 1,651 yards in 2023.
Several other notable players saw their ratings increase following Week 17’s action. The list includes Atlanta Falcons safety Jessie Bates III, New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner, Tampa Bay Buccaneers tackle Tristan Wirfs, and Jacksonville Jaguars pass-rusher Josh Allen.
Despite the Jets’ 37-20 defeat at the hands of the Cleveland Browns, Gardner has remained one of the few bright spots on New York’s roster this year. He picked up his 10th pass defensed of the season and earned his second Pro Bowl nod in two years on Wednesday.
Wirfs similarly shined during a loss, as the Buccaneers were unable to defeat the Chicago Bears. The 24-year-old has been the linchpin of a Tampa Bay offensive line that has protected quarterback Baker Mayfield admirably.
Jaguars pass-rusher Josh Allen has continues to see his overall increase, as the former No. 7 overall pick is in the midst of a career year. He recorded three sacks as Jacksonville’s defense shut out the Carolina Panthers, bringing his season total to 16.5. That’s the second-highest mark in the NFL.
Bates III shined in spite of the Falcons’ 37-17 loss to the Chicago Bears, recording a team-leading 11 tackles. He’s currently the highest-rated safety in the game at 97 overall after beginning the season with a 91 rating. Bates II has set career-high marks in interceptions, forced fumbles, and solo tackles in his first season with Atlanta.
