Madden 25’s updated ratings are giving Jerry Jeudy some credit.
The video game updated the rosters ahead of Week 15 and the Cleveland Browns wide receiver received a bump up to an 84 overall. Another notably increase was given to Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who moved to a 97 overall.
This comes after the revelation that New York Jets owner Woody Johnson nixed a trade in the offseason that would have sent Jeudy to the Jets due to his low Madden rating.

Jeudy would end up being traded to the Browns instead and has had a breakout season with his new team. He has 70 catches for 1,052 yards with four touchdowns in 14 games in 2024. He has been targeted 111 times and has produced despite some mediocre quarterback play from Deshaun Watson and Jameis Winston.
Allen received his bump as he is currently in the midst of another excellent season. He has thrown for 3,395 yards with 25 touchdowns and five interceptions and helped lead Buffalo to an 11-3 start to the season. He is now tied with Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes for the second-highest-rated quarterback behind Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Some other players receiving boosts include Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive lineman Tristan Wirfs and Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans.
