Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase had already been confirmed as the top wide receivers in Madden NFL 26 thanks to their inclusion in the 99 Club, but there is plenty of future competition for the top spot, as the newly released ratings for the game have shown.

Closest to the top duo is Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown with 96 OVR and an attribute total that's merely four points below that of Chase. St. Brown has had a steep rise since first appearing in Madden 22, which saw him debut with 67 OVR. He added eleven points to that, reaching 78 OVR in Madden 23, and then immediately climbed to 95 OVR in Madden 24.

After adding one point in last year's iteration, St. Brown carried over his starting rating from the previous game for the first time in Madden 26.
