Three Vikings players that Madden 21 got wrong

Here are some Minnesota players who Vikings Wire thinks were unfairly rated by Madden 21.

I mean this as a sincere question: If C.J. Ham is a 73 overall fullback, how can there even be a fullback with more than an 85 overall rating?

I think by most accounts, Ham was pretty good in 2019. The blocking fullback played 359 snaps and was a big part of a Vikings offense that finished sixth in rushing. The Vikings ran the ball quite a bit, and Ham was a big part of the offense.

He also made the Pro Bowl, albeit a flawed metric by itself to evaluate the quality of players.

Ham was named the best fullback in the NFC North by Zone Coverage’s Bo Mitchell, with Mitchell adding that “it’s not particularly close right now.”

In terms of his Madden rating, Ham was ranked as the sixth-best fullback in the NFL. I think he should probably be a little higher up.

Actual Madden Rating: 73

Ideal Madden Rating: 82
