Patrick Mahomes, QB (Kansas City Chiefs) – 96 OVR (+1)
Mahomes and the Chiefs lost last week, and the HOF-bound QB is partly to blame.
A 99-yard pick six soured what was shaping to be Mahomes’ best game of the season yet. He completed over 70% of his passes and threw for over 300 yards without Xavier Worthy or Rashee Rice. And while Travis Kelce is still good, he’s not the player he was just a couple of seasons ago. Time has caught up.
However, it seems the main issue for Kansas City is the run game, or rather, the lack of a run game. Kareem Hunt and Isiah Pacheco only ran seven times each, while Mahomes led the team in rushing yards. Both Hunt and Pacheco average less than 10 carries per game so far this year. The lack of commitment to the run keeps offenses predictable for defenses.
Nevertheless, Mahomes’ Madden rating increased.

Taylor only earned 66 yards on the ground in the team’s 40-6 win over the Raiders. But his three touchdowns certainly make up for it as he continues to increase his OVR.
Taylor currently leads the league in rushing yards (480) and rushing TDs (6), and is on pace to be the league-leader in both categories before the year’s end. Of course, there’s still a lot of football left, but something tells us that the sixth-year back is poised for a great season. Supported by a strong O-Line, the Colts’ offense looks fantastic this year.
However, they’ll have an interesting challenge this week as they face the league’s ninth best rushing defense.
Kerby Joseph, FS (Detroit Lions) – 91 OVR (+1)
Joseph accounted for one of Jake Browning’s three total interceptions in the team’s 37-24 win over Cincinnati. It marked his third interception of the year, which currently ties him at second place for INTs in 2025.
Interestingly, all three of his interceptions have only netted Joseph...
