Las Vegas Raiders star Davante Adams led the way last year with a 99 overall rating.
Here's a look at the ten highest-rated receivers this season and when you can expect to play the latest edition of Madden.
Jefferson Leads The Way
Justin Jefferson is widely considered the best wide receiver in the NFL, and this year's Madden rating reflects how great of a player he is.
The 24-year-old has a 99 rating, the only player at the position with the highest possible ranking.
Jefferson shared his excitement about his rating in a Tweet, saying he's been creating his own 99-rated character since he was seven.
The former LSU star has 4,825 receiving yards and 25 touchdowns through the first three years of his NFL career.

Four-time All-Pro Tyreek Hill is the second-highest overall rated wide receiver with a 98. However, he has the best deep route running rating (98).
Davante Adams is third on the list with a 97 overall. Adams averaged 15.2 yards per reception and led the league with 14 receiving touchdowns in his first season with the Las Vegas Raiders.
Stefon Diggs has a 96 overall rating as he enters his fourth season with the Buffalo Bills. Diggs has made three straight Pro Bowls and was on the All-Pro team in 2020.
Super Bowl LVI MVP Cooper Kupp rounds out the top five. He is also 96 overall. Kupp was the second-highest-rated player in last year's Madden game (98), coming off the best year of his career.
