Antonio Brown Tops Madden WR Ratings
By Ryan Mayer, CBS Local Sports
The Madden NFL 16 ratings continue to be rolled out as we get closer to the release of the game August 25th and the start of the NFL season shortly thereafter. We've already seen who the game developers have ranked as the top 5 QB's, top 5 RB's and the top rookies of this year's class. Today they released the ratings for the top 5 WR's in the NFL according to their ratings system. Ben Roethlisberger was listed in the top 5 of quarterbacks in the game, and his top target Antonio Brown tops the list of receivers.
Brown led the NFL in receiving yards last season with 1,698 on 129 receptions to go along with 13 touchdowns so it's hard to argue with him taking the number 1 spot. takes over the top spot formerly held by Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson who drops down to number 3 on the list. The rest of the top 5 is as follows:
1) Antonio Brown (97 overall)
2) Dez Bryant (96 overall)
3) Calvin Johnson (95 overall)
4) Odell Beckham Jr. (94 overall)
5) Julio Jones (94 overall)
Looks like Odell Beckham's ridiculous last three quarters of the season was enough to vault him up to the top of the list as well. It's hard to disagree with that considering how well he played.
