A star NFL linebacker went up in the Week 3 Madden 24 ratings update, while the cover athlete of the game received yet another downgrade.
With Week 3 of the 2023 NFL season complete, EA Sports officially released the new ratings & roster update for Madden 24.
As always, the ratings have been updated to reflect which players are trending upwards in the league and which athletes are not performing up to their previous overalls.
Here’s a look at which notable players went up and down in the Week 3 ratings update of Madden 24.
Watt and Herbert among risers in Week 3 Madden roster update
No new players will join the Madden 24 99 Club in this update, but Steelers LB T.J. Watt is inching closer. The five-time Pro Bowler received a +1 OVR increase in the Week 3 Madden 24 ratings update, which puts him at 97 OVR.

Madden 24 cover athlete Josh Allen, meanwhile, received yet another downgrade. Allen’s OVR went down one point to 93 OVR. It’s the second time this year that his overall has been reduced, as he received a downgrade after his Week 1 performance against the Jets.
