A – Tier
Cincinnati Bengals, The Bengals have 2 players with abilities, but both Chase and Burrow’s abilities are very good. Chase has mid-in, mid-out, deep-out elite. Burrow has sideline deadeye, and inside deadeye, so perfect accuracy on all passes, fearless so no throws under pressure, and set feet lead, a top 2 QB in the game no doubt.
Cleveland Browns, I didn’t expect to put the Browns this high, but they are deep. Short route KO seems very useful on JOK. Amari Cooper has route tech and outside apprentice, two good/great abilities. Nick Chubb doesn’t have juke box or freight train, but still has solid abilities. Wyatt teller might have the 3 best abilities for a guard with nasty streak, post up, and threat detector. Threat detector is a top tier ability. Myles Garrett has edge threat and el toro. Unfakeable seems like it would be good this year, even on a CB.
Los Angeles Chargers, Pass lead elite is what gets them in A-tier. Keenan Allen should also be a monster in the slot with his abilities, slot-o-matic and mid-out elite. Derwin James if used correctly also has great abilities with unfakeable, flat zone ko and tip drill. Not what the Chargers had last year in terms of abilities, but still great.
Kansas City Chiefs, Mahomes is the best QB in the game with pass lead elite and hot route master. Kelce has TE apprentice just in case. Pick artist on McDuffie is great as well.
Dallas Cowboys, Diggs has acrobat, pick artist, and outside shade, all good abilities. Ceedee has short and mid out elite, as well as outside apprentice. Zack Martin has post up and threat detector. Tyron Smith has edge protector. Tre White also has acrobat and pick artist, as well as deep out zone KO. Micah has edge threat. Dak has Omaha which is the best XF and inside deadeye.
Philadelphia Eagles, Hurts has gunslinger and jukebox. Henry has freight train and tank. Slay has inside shade, acrobat, and deep route KO. Lane Johnson has nasty streak. Dallas Goedert has mid and short out elite. Jordan Davis has inside stuff. AJ Brown has WR apprentice and short out elite. Every ability I just named is great.
Green Bay Packers, bottom of A-tier but still A-Tier. Juke box, outside shade acrobat short route KO, no outsiders, inside stuff, edge protector. all very good abilities that can affect games.
B – Tier
Buffalo Bills, Allen has gunslinger and fearless, two great abilities. Fastbreak and dashing deadeye are also very useful. Diggs is the only other superstar and he has juke box which might be the best ability in the game.
Indianapolis Colts, I debated the Colts in A-tier or B-tier. Buckner has inside stuff, JT has juke box and Quentin Nelson has nasty streak. All great abilities, but just not enough depth to be an A-tier lock. I could be talked in to either spot.
Washington Commanders, Inside stuff on Jon Allen is elite. Goal line stuff on Montez Sweat is great. Good luck running on this team inside the 5. Scary Terry has outside apprentice which is very useful if used correctly.
Miami Dolphins, Tyreek has jukebox and short out elite which are great. Ramsey has acrobat and one step ahead which are great. Terron Armstead has edge protector and secure protector which are great. Great great great.
Atlanta Falcons, another team I debated putting in A-tier. Waddle has solid abilities. Pitts has double me, mid in elite, and redzone threat, all very useful. Terrell has inside shade, deep route KO and deep out zone KO. Bijan has juke box. Drake London has short out elite. Lindstrom has threat detector and secure protector. Jessie Bates has deep in zone KO and acrobat. A deep team with many superstar players and useful abilities if used right.
San Francisco 49ers, Lurker, evasive, short in elite, short out elite, route apprentice, edge threat, slot o matic, mid out elite, mid in elite. Only 5 superstar players on this team, but each one has at least one and most times 2 useful abilities.
New York Giants, big Dexter Lawrence has inside stuff. Saquon has juke box and tank. Justin Simmons has pick artist and mid zone KO. Von Miller has edge threat and no outsiders. The Giants are not the Eagles or Cowboys, but they are no slouches
New York Jets, close to A-tier but not there yet. Caleb has Omaha which can be elite. Dalvin has juke box in case you somehow didn’t know. Becton has nasty streak (idk how he’s even superstar) and big Quinnen Williams has el toro, defensive rally, and under pressure. Juke box, Omaha, and under pressure do the heavy lifting for this group.
Las Vegas Raiders. A top heavy team but their elite players have some elite abilities. Jacobs has backfield master and goal line back. Crosby has edge threat Elite. Adams has route tech, red zone threat, and outside apprentice. Not to mention both special teamers have focused kicker. Special teams is what pushed them in to B-tier.
LA Rams, only 3 ability players, but their top 2 carry them very far. Kupp has red zone threat and slot o matic. Big boy Aaron Donald has inside stuff, no outsiders, under pressure and el toro. The best defensive ability set up.
Baltimore Ravens, Tackle supreme and mid zone KO on Roquan are great. Justin Tucker has a slowed meter on all kicks. Ronnie Stanley has edge and secure protector. Sauce has acrobat, inside shade, and deep out zone KO. Mark Andrews has matchup nightmare and TE apprentice. Some great abilities for how Madden plays this year.
Pittsburgh Steelers, Inside stuff on Cam Heyward won him DPOY. TJ Watt has edge threat and no outsiders. Minkah is an INT machine with pick artist, tip drill, deep in and out zone KO. Short in elite should be helpful for Najee as a RB
C – Tier
Denver Broncos, Pat Surtain has short and medium route KO which are great in man coverage. Tip drill is a solid ability as well. Short in elite is nice on Courtland Sutton. Gerald Everett has jukebox which sounds great, but I’m not sure how useful it will be on a TE, but I could be wrong.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Wirfs and Jensen have edge protector and secure protector. Having both of them protecting the edge on an Oline should lock down pass rushers. Short out elite is great for Rachaad white. In my opinion defensive rally is a very underrated ability for Calijah Kancey.
Jacksonville Jaguars, Gunslinger is the only useful ability they have, and it is a really good but not elite one.
Detroit Lions, very high in the C-tier. They have juke box with Gibbs, goal line stuff with Chris Jones, short out elite with the sun god, and flat zone KO with Brian Branch.
Carolina Panthers, Burns has no outsiders. Ekeler has backfield master and goal line back. Ekwonu has post up and nasty streak, bryce has sideline deadeye, and Mckinney has flat zone KO. All good-great abilities but none of the top top tier.
D – Tier
Chicago Bears, The bears have 2 ability players, Joey Bosa, and Danielle Hunter. Between those two players they have 1.5 useful abilities. Bosa has no outsiders which is nice, and edge threat which I don’t think works.
Seattle Seahawks, Double me, redzone threat, and outside apprentice on DK are great, along with deep out elite. JSN is a good possession WR with mid out and short in elite
Houston Texans, Threat detector, post up, deep out elite and red zone threat are the really helpful abilities on this team. Threat detector could push the Texans higher but I will keep them in D-tier.
Minnesota Vikings, JJ is the only ability player on the team. Double me, outside apprentice, route tech, and deep out elite are all nice, but there’s only so much one man can do.
F – Tier
New Orleans Saints, maybe short in elite and deep in elite help on Olave but every other ability is useless.
Tennessee Titans, literally zero useful abilities.
New England Patriots 3 players with abilites, Keion White’s are useless, Gonzalez’s are useless. Deep out zone KO might be useless on Dugger if he’s at sublb, and I’m not sure how effective out my way is on a safety.
Arizona Cardinals, Demercado is the only one who has useful abilities. Short out elite and goal line back should be helpful, if goal line back works how it says.
