Best Fit for Each User - Madden 21 Edition

AFC NORTH 

1. Pittsburgh Steelers (Empty team...or is it..?) - Commish Adel made it very clear he was going to spend night and day scouting and recruiting new blood for Redzone. It’s possible this team stays empty to begin Madden 21 but I think Adel has a few tricks up his sleeve. I’m not sure what to write here but given the right user, the team could have promise. They will need to figure out their QB soon but having a talent like Juju should make it easy for any QB to jump right in. 
    

2. Cincinnati Bengals (Astin) -Astin is already in the RZ HOF, but imagine what his legacy could do if he could take the worst football team in the league and turn them into a dynasty? There’s very little to like on this team, besides QB Joe Burrow. They are awful on defense and AJ Green is inching towards retirement. If he can win multiple titles with a crappy team like this, it’s time to start labeling him the RZ GOAT.
    

3. Baltimore Ravens (Tauph) - Let's not kid ourselves, Tauph loves the powerhouse teams that don't need much building. He also needs a 90+ QB to help not throw 30 picks a season. He gets an instant cheat code out of the books and if he doesn’t win this division, he should quit immediately. All jokes aside, I love this guy and will be happy to see him win a championship for the city of Baltimore.
    

4. Cleveland Browns (Eikim) - Eikim loves shiny objects on Offense and there is a lot to like on this Cleveland Browns roster. Chubb is destined to break out this season, add in a young QB in Baker Mayfield and a top WR in OBJ and you have an offense that could be really fun. They also have some pieces on the defense that should give them a solid balance. The Browns underperformed last season so Madden may hurt their ratings a bit but they should still be solid in the areas that matter. 
    

AFC WEST

1. Kansas City Chiefs (White Greg) - WG gets his wish by landing this awful franchise and also gets his wish of fucking with Moji as well. In what is quickly turning into the Ego Division, WG will brag all year about how he is going to 16-0 and schedule his ring sizing appointment, but in reality he will finish 3rd-4th in the division each year and ruin Patrick Mahomes. Meanwhile, I’ll be sipping my martini on the side enjoying every second of it.
    

2. Denver Broncos (Pat) - There’s two reasons Pat takes this team. 1) So I can do all of his media for him and 2) To piss off Moji. These two have a weird friendship as I’m pretty sure they hate each other but in typical New Yorker fashion, all is fair in love and war. The Broncos/Raiders rivalry will take a step further as Pat gets a Drew Lock jersey and leads the Mile High City back to the promised land. 

 

3. Las Vegas Raiders (Moji) - I really want to cheer for Moj next cycle in potentially his farewell tour but I won't be able to because he’ll be back to black and silver. When I think of the 5 guys I’d want to be in Vegas with, Moj is top of the list. He returns to the team he coached when I first met him and has his work cut out for him. Good chance Carr will be gone quicker than Moj can get rid of his latest STD and he’ll start fresh with a rookie. 

4. Los Angeles chargers (JP) - I could see JP taking the Broncos or Las Vegas but the luck of the dice will land in LA with a Oregon QB not named Mariota. The LA Chargers have a lot of room to grow on offense but arguably have a top defense that will allow JP to compete in all 16 games. If abilities stick around in M21, he will have an instant 30-40 sack guy with Bosa, and a veteran secondary to make up for the limited points he will score on offense. 

 

AFC EAST

1. New England Patriots (Mans) - I’m predicting Mans will be towards the end of the team lottery which, unfortunately, won’t leave him many options. The Patriots are entering a rebuild after splitting up with Tom Brady. They don’t have an answer at QB and Edelmann isn’t getting any younger. I don’t think the Patriots will be a “high” desired team in M21 and will be there when Mans is picking. I hope we can get ‘invested’ Mans back as there are very few people in the league (or world) that have a heart like our buddy Joe.

 

2. New York Jets (Tiko) - Hey Moj, how are the gyms in New York? Our good buddy Tiko is coming to town! The Jets are an interesting team in Madden 21 as a lot of their success will be based on how EA Sports evaluates Sam Darnold for his ratings. Do they see him as the franchise guy? He hasn’t been helped out much by this roster and then again, ignored WR in the first round but did land Denzel Mims in the second round. I’m a big Mims guy so I think he will fit in nice. Hopefully Big Boy Becton can be an anchor in the offensive line and keep Darnold healthy. I’m not sure what to expect from Tiko in New York but it can’t be any worse than Chicago, right? /shrug

 

3. Buffalo Bills (Sin) - At first, I had Sin in the NFC but I don’t think he can be fully invested if he constantly has to face his beloved Giants. I see Sin staying near the New York area but heading to Bills Mafia. The team has added Stefon Diggs from the Vikings which will give Josh Allen an instant target. The defense has also continued to improve. It’s a nice young starter team that will be competitive all cycle. 

 

4. Miami Dolphins (Spittah) - Tank for Tua has become a reality and Terrance will take over a potentially exciting team in Miami. Tua will take some years to develop and you hope his injury rating doesn’t hurt him (remember Cave’s rookie QB that couldn’t stay healthy?). DeVante Parker will see a big boost in fantasy value as it’s already been rumored that he’s working out with Tua in Florida. This division is wide open and could see a different division winner each season.

 

AFC SOUTH

1. Tennessee Titans (Lefty) - Lefty is another one of those guys who loves to pound the rock. I can’t think of a better team than the Titans with Derrick Henry. There are some holes on this roster but they have some young talent to work with. Lefty will jump from one QB contract nightmare to another with Tannehill but I’m guessing Tanney will get enough of a Madden rating boost to be serviceable. 

 

2. Jacksonville Jaguars (Beat) - I’ll be honest, I didn’t even know Beat was still in the league until I saw his name on the M21 roster. Another candidate who will be lower on the draft lottery puts him on a team that is a disaster from start to finish. This team has little hope, but the same could be said for Beat’s media production hope. Odds he last the entire cycle? I’m putting it at +280. The Jaguars have a few young pieces but there's a very high possibility Ngakoue will be traded before the cycle begins. Good luck bud. 

 

3. Houston Texans (BluePrint) - The Texans are a team that took a step back in the offseason. Losing Hopkins hurt significantly but they replaced him with Brandin Cooks. It’s a shape QB Watson has been dealt the cards he has in Houston but you have to hope this can be a playoff team. I’m not a big fan of what the Texans have done in the last 6 months, signing Tunsil and Roby to large contracts. David Johnson is also old and will not provide much for BP. There’s some work to do here but the most important position (QB) is set for the cycle. Let’s see what the Texans “Blueprint” for success looks like in Madden 21. 

 

4. Indianapolis Colts (Prewitt) - I was really hoping Nick was going to be in the new user lineup I received from Adel so I could make the joke about him picking Indianapolis to play with Andrew Luck…but I guess I will have to make due with Prewitt. I think this is an interesting team for Madden 21 as they are kind of stuck in quicksand. Are they a playoff team? Or in a rebuild? Who is QB 1? Old Man Rivers or Brissett? Too many questions for my liking with this team but have fun Prewitt! 

 

NFC NORTH 

1. Green Bay Packers (Ramesu) -Ramesu is a historian and what’s a better franchise to take over than the history in Green Bay. In addition to the team’s history, they have a HOF quarterback and a potential replacement in Jordan Love that can take over in a few years. Ram likes to run the ball and Aaron Jones will give him exactly the weapon he needs. I like Ramesu to land here and think he can have some legit success.
    

2. Minnesota Vikings (Spencer) - My fellow mini-Duke loving, friend is going to head North. The weather won’t quite be like what he’s experienced in the South but I think he will fit in nicely in Minnesota. He’ll need to practice his SKOL chants but this team will fit his playstyle nice. The defense has some young pieces and they will need a year or two to groom. In addition, losing Diggs hurts the offense a lot but I really like Justin Jefferson out of LSU to replace Diggs’ production immediately. 

 

3. Chicago Bears (Glenn) - I don’t know much about Glenn, but if the rumors are true that he loves interceptions...I can’t think of a better fit than Chicago. Mitch Trubisky loves throwing interceptions as much as Pat loves money. I expect Glenn to take the Bears over and win 3-4 games a season. Khalil Mack will eventually ask for a trade, and Chicago will be in a world of suck. 

 

4. Detroit Lions (BlackMagic) - I really thought Weed was going to have the success that Jake had with Detroit but he could never get over the hump. Black Magic is next in the rotation to bring this Detroit team back to some form of success. The Lions added RB Swift in the draft which should give their offense a solid spark paired with Marvin Jones and Golladay. Okudah will be able to step in immediately and provides a deadly duo with Trufant. The more I look at this team, the more I think they win the division in the first year. 

 

NFC WEST

1. Seattle Seahawks (Roc) - The Seahawks have had a quiet offseason so far so I think they will go under the radar as far as the team draft. I have a rule in sports gambling and that is to never bet against Russell Wilson. He is one of the most fun QB’s to watch in the league and I think could be a really solid Madden QB if given to the right user. Roc has had success in his tenure with RZ and I think will make a really exciting addition to this division. 

 

2. Arizona Cardinals (weed) - Kyler Murray goes from one great user to another. Weed’s tenure with the Detroit Lions in Madden 20 would have to be looked at as a disappointment for Weed’s level of expectations. He was never able to win a ring in Madden 20 but I’m hopeful that can change in Arizona. The team needs some improvement but Kyler & Hopkins combo should be deadly. One of my favorite memories of 2019 was PMing with Weed back and forth about our rosters and offering opinions back and forth. I hope we can get that level of passion from Weed in Madden 21. 

 

3. San Francisco 49ers (Beech)- Contrary to popular believe, Beech is a super smart guy and I think he sees what happened in Madden 20 with D-line and player abilities and has the 49ers with a big * next to it. This is the best d-line in the league and it’s not close. If Madden 21 continues to have abilities that aren’t nurfed, this defense will be impossible to neutralize. Could Beech win rings in back to back cycles? I think this team has everything needed to make another run. 

 

4. Los Angeles Rams (Rfox) - On top of the awful contracts on this roster and limited youth, the owner of this team will now have to play with the ugly jerseys and team logo. I’m giving this one to the new guy as I think the Rams will hang around during the team draft. There’s not much to be excited about on this team outside of Aaron Donald. Good luck Rook, you’re gonna need it. 

 

NFC EAST 

1. Dallas Cowboys (Adel)- What’s a better spot for Adel than arguably the biggest football franchise in the world? Jerry’s world will be switched over to Adelmann’s World. Adel has had mixed results with rebuilds so I think he takes a happy medium here. The Cowboys landed a top WR in the draft class and have one of the best RB’s in the league. There are several gaps on defense but this can be a competitor day one. The next question will be, what’s bigger? The jumbotron or Adel’s forehead.
    

2. Washington Redskins (Vandosol) - I’ll be completely honest, I’m not really sure who this guy is or what team he managed in Madden 20. I see the name in the chat occasionally and he seems like a nice guy but as far as his Madden skills? I have zero insight. Being a newer guy, I’m guessing he will be lower in the lottery which ends him up in Washington. Jake proved that you can make this team successful so it would be wise for Vandosol to follow the Jacob Allen plans and attempt to duplicate his success. 

 

3. New York Giants (Jim) - I’m not sure where Jim will end up on the lottery draft order but I think the Giants could be an interesting team for him. Saquan is obviously a stud but there are big question marks at QB. The Giants drafted the best OT in the draft and brought in a RZ Favorite, the Fack Attack. There won’t be much “Lob City” in New York for a bit but as Sin has shown, with the right pieces this team can compete. 

 

4. Philadelphia Eagles (Metal) - Metal gets his Eagles back, a team he won his first Superbowl with. I think this team fits what Metal wants to do and his knowledge of this team should allow for him to succeed. I’ll be honest, I haven’t followed much of Metal’s team in Madden 20 (Mainly because it was the Raiders) but I think he’d love to return to a team where his success really shot off. He hasn’t been able to repeat his success from team to team the way Astin has so I think this team makes sense. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. 

 

NFC SOUTH 

1. Carolina Panthers (Malik) - There is one reason you take this team and his name is Christian McCaffrey. The Stanford alum is an absolute game changer if used correctly and I think Malik will be drawn to that multi-purpose dimension. The Panthers are in a rebuild mode and in search of a QB of the future so I expect Malik to be active in the first draft or by trade. Perhaps Cam Newton will still be a free agent and the team will reconsider their decision? Talk about awkward....

 

2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Jake) - Cue “I’m Coming Home” music...Jake gets to connect with a local Florida team while also syncing up with his first love, Tom Brady. This team will have heavy firepower on offense in the first year or two but Jake will have some obstacles to overcome if he doesn’t compete right away. This team is made to win now and Jake has typically taken a season or two to settle in. 

 

3. New Orleans Saints (Trent) - It’s been awhile since we’ve seen Trent competitive in Redzone. Whether it’s lack of time or just the wrong line-ups, it hasn’t come together for Trent. Now with a wife and child on the way, Trent needs a team that takes little GM work. He will need to figure out a future QB as Drew Brees is not getting any younger but this team should be able to win games right away. WHO DAT. 

 

4. Atlanta Falcons (IJ) - Outside of being a Tarheel loving bum, IJ is a good guy. Every man has a weakness and that is clearly his. The Falcons have some fun pieces and Julio Jones is still a top WR in the league. I think this could be a fun division and the Jake/IJ rivalry could be fun to watch unfold. The Falcons lost some key talent in the offseason but add in Todd Gurley, Dante Fowler, and Hayden Hurst.
