Madden 26 WR ratings: Here are the best wide receivers for 2025, from Ja'Marr Chase to Davnate Adams

Wide receiver is often a position that ignites debate in the NFL. Who is the game's best wideout? Which team has the best starting duo?

Every year, the iconic video game franchise "Madden" helps settle those debates — or maybe fuel them even more. As hype grows for the annual release of the game, which arrives this year on Aug. 14, ratings for every player are being rolled out ahead of time.

The official Madden 26 ratings for wide receivers were released Wednesday, a group that's headlined by Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase, both members of the "99 Club." But how do the receivers rank beyond the Vikings and Bengals stars, including names like CeeDee Lamb, Mike Evans and Terry McLaurin? What rating did rookie receivers Tetairoa McMillan and Travis Hunter get?
