1) Rams - There's really no need for explanation on this one. Talib and Peters. Joyner roaming the middle of the field and the defensive front is A+. Offensively there is plenty here to move the football.
2) Jags - The new Seattle Seahawks defense in Madden will be the Jacksonville. Can't run, can't pass. Clutch plays. Offensively you have to deal with Fournette (99 truck), then Westbrook, and now Chark (94 speed). The only thing that will mess this team up is Bortles and bad decisions. Madden will give you some games if you let it.
3) Vikings - Very similar to the Jags defensively to a degree.
4) Falcons - More bombs away with Ridley joining the squad. Two good HB's and a fast defense. Suspect at CB #2 spot but up front Jarrett, Beasley, Tak.
5) Philly - SB Champs. They lost a little bit but gained some back. Sydney Jones will make his debut and the Eagles added another CB. Another weapon down the seam and in the intermediate game for Wentz in Goedert, plus Michael Bennet Seattle cheese to help the pass rush.
6) Texans - Tough to guard WR's and tough to defend QB. Good front 7 on defense with Honey Badger and Justin Reid at Safety. Should be a strong team out of the box.
7) Panthers - A little mix of old Seattle defense in the front 7 but should be vulnerable on the back end. Offensively, there's a lot of speed to go around. If you cannot move the football with this team, don't look at the team.
8) Broncos- more auto-pilot defense. Will need to draft a QB after the first season. The addition of Sutton in the WR corps makes them a formidable opponent.
9) Steelers - Trade Away Bryant, bring in Washington and his College QB Rudolph. Brown, JuJu and Washington with Bell in the backfield. This will be one of the better-rated offenses out of the box. They lose a lot of speed at middle linebacker and don't replace it. But overall, this is a team that should not have issues moving the football and slowing opposing offenses
10) Browns - This team will have everything. You have a franchise QB in Mayfield, a trio of backs with Chubb, Duke, and Hyde. Njoku at TE, Gordon, Landry, and Calloway at WR. Not sure they are sold on Coleman and if he'll be around but if he is then it's a good 4 man squad. Defensively, the Browns are a good Madden team. They would have been a lot stronger with Chubb but what they have is better than most teams.
