Here are four Chargers players whose ratings seem off in “Madden NFL 21.”
WR Mike Williams – Rating: 81
Keenan Allen was given a 91 overall rating, which seems just about right considering he is one of the best wide receivers in the game. But his partner in crime’s rating of 81 seems to be a bit off. He’s stacked up with wideouts like A.J. Brown and Michael Gallup when he should be in the same tier as Courtland Sutton, Jarvis Landry and D.J. Moore. His rookie season was riddled by an injury, but he has been the model of consistency since then. In 2018, the big-bodied target reeled in 10 touchdowns. He scored just twice in 2019, but he averaged 20.4 yards per reception, which was No. 1 in the league, and topped 1,000 yards for the first time. While Tyrod Taylor might not have the biggest arm, Justin Herbert does. If Herbert is under center, Williams will become a go-to target for the former Clemson product.
What it should have been: 85
