The roster update following week eight of the season is available to download now in Madden NFL 16. The trade deadline passed with only one deal being made as Vernon Davis moves to the Broncos in the update. Another week, another player moves up to 99 Overall, as Tyron Smith makes it seven currently at the top. Check out everyone who had their Overall Rating change with the new roster in the spreadsheet here.
There’s a lot of weird stuff in there that doesn’t make much sense given performances in week eight. That even includes players who have been injured getting their ratings changed. Maybe there were some wider mid-season reevaluations that took place.
