We're only hours into the EA Play Trial period for Madden NFL 21 and there's already a lot of hype about Core Rookie Master Isaiah Simmons.

It's that time of the week again to predict who we think will earn TOTW 15 honors. With so many high-rated cards released so far this year (especially on offense), predicting TOTW gets more difficult each week since there can only be a select few rated in the 90's. With that said, for this week's LTD player, we're predicting Julio Jones after his big 13 catch, 134 yard, 2 TD performance in a 29-22 win over the formidable 49ers. Our pick for Hero on offense seems like a shoe-in for TOTW, but whether he's Hero remains to be seen; it's …

With an exciting Week 14 nearly in the books, it's time to guess who we think will earn TOTW honors. This week saw a lot of big performances on the defensive side of the football.

For defensive Hero, I'm predicting Danielle Hunter after he led the Vikings over the Lions, 20-7, with his 7 tackles, 3 TFL, and 3 sacks. On the offensive side of …

Today’s update reflects the first wave of updates to defensive playbooks, with even more coming in the future. Details about these new defensive sets, such as Nickel Triple and Nickel 2-4-5 Odd, in addition to a number of offensive updates …

With all but the MNF game between the Chiefs and Chargers left in Week 11, it's that time again to predict who we think will earn Team of the Week honors. After racking up 9 catches for 137 yards and 2 TDs in a 37-20 win over the Dolphins, my prediction for this week's LTD player is John Brown of the Buffalo Bills. For the offensive Hero of Week 11, I'm going with Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott. There's a lot of speculation that Dak is due for a card in the upcoming Thanksgiving promotion. If he's not included this …

Preston Smith and Jameis Winston are today's latest Flashbacks. Preston Smith takes us back to 2016 when he was a member of the Washington Redskins while Winston flashes back to 2015.

A new round of Signature Series was released today with Eagles QB Carson Wentz and Jets MLB Avery Williamson joining the program. Wentz's latest item has just enough speed (80) to help avoid the pass rush and with 93 Throw Under Pressure and 90 Throw on the Run ratings, expect him to help extend passing plays. Williamson is a run-stuffing MLB with 94 PRC, 95 PUR, 91 TAK, and 92 BSH. So, if you're having trouble against the run, consider giving Williamson a look.

After another exciting week of NFL action full of big plays and underdog wins, it's time for us to predict who will earn Team of the Week 10 honors. Despite his team narrowly losing to the Bucs, we're predicting Christian Kirk as this week's LTD after his big game of 6 catches, 138 receiving yards, and 3 TDs. Our guess for offensive Hero is Derrick Henry, who led the NFL in rushing yards this week with 188 and paved the way for a Titans win over the heavily favored Chiefs, 35-32. After missing out on TOTW 9 honors last week …

Welcome back to ZAN's Corner,

In lieu of another great Lamar Jackson performance, I wanted to show a unique option play from a very under-appreciated playbook - the Pistol Weak Wing "Read Option."

With the strong under center run meta in Madden 20, you typically don't see too many players running a "Fast Break QB" under center when they could easily hand the ball off to an "Evasive" Saquon Barkley or a "Bruiser" Bo Jackson. However, with the Ravens playbook, you have the ability to use your QB as a ball carrier to keep those heavy blitzing run defenses honest …

This week's new Legends are Dallas Clark, Keith Bulluck, and LTD Brian Bosworth. Clark has average speed for a tight end but excels with his route running and sure hands. Keith Bulluck with his 86 Speed and 87 Acceleration, is now the fastest ROLB currently in the game. LTD Bosworth also offers a nice speed option at MLB while bringing 92 Tackle, 90 Block Shedding, and 90 Hit Power to the table. Check out all of today's latest items and their ratings below:

With another week of exciting NFL action nearly in the books, it's time to guess who we think will earn TOTW 9 honors. With his name in the discussion for MVP and after a 3 touchdown performance in a 30-20 win over the Titans, Legend and I think this will be Christian McCaffrey's week for an upgrade with a new LTD item. For Hero on offense this week, we're predicting Tyreek Hill will earn the honor after a close win against the Vikings that saw him grab 6 catches for 140 yards and a touchdown. Recording his fourth interception since …

Tyrann "Honey Badger" Mathieu and Marcedes Lewis are today's newest Flashbacks released by EA. Mathieu's latest item takes us back to 2015 when he was a member of the Arizona Cardinals. While his height can be a bit of a liability, his speed (87) and acceleration (89) will help the "Honey Badger" cover ground in the secondary. Lewis flashes back to 2010 when he was a member of the Jaguars. His stats seem a little low but he can be useful for run blocking (87) and for Jaguars' theme teams. Check out the latest Flashbacks and their ratings below:

This video also explains the importance of labbing your routes on both the wide and short side of the field vs. zone coverages to see how zone "grids" work.

The newest player items added to the Heavyweights program today are Ben Jones and Grady Jarrett. Ben Jones has decent block ratings for both the run and pass.

Mike Evans is our guess for this week's LTD item after torching the Titans secondary for 11 receptions, 198 yards, and 2 TDs in a narrow loss . Tevin Coleman is our pick this week for Hero on offense. Coleman led an impressive 49ers offense with 118 total yards and 4 TDs in a 51-13 beat down of the Panthers. Last week we wrongly predicted a Bosa family reunion, but Legend and I are doubling down again this week. Fool us once, shame …

If you like mixing up the run and pass on offense, Upshaw could provide a nice upgrade for your offensive line at left guard.

With Week 7 nearly in the books, it's that time again to guess who we think will earn Team of the Week 7 honors from EA. While Aaron Rodgers had a monster game with his 6 total TDs, his current 91 overall Ultimate Kickoff card makes us think he will miss out this week. Our LTD and Offensive Hero predictions this week come from the same game. Kirk Cousins led the Vikings to a 42-30 win over the Lions while Marvin Jones Jr did everything he could to keep his team in the game with 10 catches for 93 yards …

Today's new Flashbacks are Mark Ingram II and Aqib Talib. Both players lack speed which may make it difficult to add them to your squad unless you're running a theme team.

Welcome back to ZAN's Corner,

This week on the show, we show the value of the "Jet Touch Pass" that you can find in most offensive playbooks in Madden 20. The Big Dime 1-4-6 DB Sting 2 Buzz is a defense that you have assuredly faced online, whether in MUT Head-to-Head, Salary Cap, Draft Champions, or even if you dabble in "Regs" Head-to-Head with the actual NFL rosters. With this style of defense, it makes the offense's job fairly difficult to establish a reliable run game from the Shotgun. While there are many undercenter formations that do a solid job …

Today's new Legends are John Henderson and Christian Okoye. What Henderson may lack in speed at DT, he more than makes up for in the strength and power categories. Nicknamed the "Nigerian Nightmare", Christian Okoye offers a huge upgrade to the fullback position with his impressive 88 speed rating. Not only can Okoye provide an upgrade at FB, but he would also make for a nice tight end option as well. Check out all the new items and ratings below:

One of the most anticipated programs of the year has returned to Ultimate Team, Most Feared!

Similar to previous years, this program features players who will become enraged from Wednesday, 10/30 until Friday, 11/1. Enraged players in years past increased in both size and ratings, so we're anticipating a similar effect again this year.

A new currency (Bats) has been added to Ultimate Team for Most Feared. Bats can be used to purchase Most Feared packs …

After another Sunday full of exciting football, it's time to guess who will get TOTW honors for Week 6. Stefon Diggs is our guess for this week's LTD player item after his monster game of 7 catches for 167 yards and 3 TDs in a 38-20 win over the Eagles. Unless EA has a card planned in the near future for Diggs, he seems like a lock for this week's LTD. The Hero on offense is a bit tricky this week considering his team lost, but we feel like Matt Ryan makes the most sense here based on performance and …

Today's new Flashbacks players are Malik Jackson and Ben Roethlisberger.

Welcome back to ZAN's Corner!

It's been over a year since we had this series, but we decided to bring it back this year in Madden 20! With how dominant the run game is in Madden 20, I thought it was the perfect topic for our return video.

In this tip, we'll show you 2 adjustments you can make to make ANY defense better against the run game in Madden 20:

- QB Spies for the inside run

- Inside Linebacker Hard Flats (Pass Committed) vs. the outside run

When you combine them together, this will make you much safer against the …

EA Sports added two new Signature Series players to Madden Ultimate Team today. T.Y. Hilton is a great route runner with decent speed. If you power him all the way up, he will be able to hit the 90 Deep Route Running threshold which will unlock the best versions of several deep routes in the game. While it's hard to justify starting an OLB slower than a 300-pound DT, Chandler Jones has great Power Moves, Play Recognition, Pursuit, and Tackle.

With Week 5 nearly in the books, it's that time again to guess who we think will earn TOTW honors. This week could prove to be tricky with outstanding performances on offense from Will Fuller, Deshaun Watson, and Aaron Jones. The only way we can see all 3 being included is if Will Fuller gets a normal TOTW card while Jones and Watson battle it out for LTD and Hero. It will be interesting to see if all 3 get included or if one stays on the sidelines. With Philly's dominant showing on defense against the Jets this week, our …

A few of you reached out asking where our Power Rankings were last week. We've decided to scale things back slightly. There has only been one relevant tournament each week which means there just are not a lot of opportunity for players to move up or down in the power rankings.

Here are our power rankings for this week:

1. SeriousMoe

House Rules is back and we're playing Double Trouble this week. In this mode, offensive 20-yard plays, tackles for loss, and interceptions are worth 2 extra points. The first person to get at least a 14-point lead wins the game. For example, if you get two 20-yard plays and kick a Field Goal on your first drive, you will have 7 points. If you then get an interception for a TD (8 points), you will now have a 15-point lead and win. If no one goes up by 14 points during the game, it will play out until the end …

Last week, we released our first ever competitive Madden power rankings. We plan to update and publish our power rankings every week for the top 25 players based on performances in relevant competitive Madden events.

Keep in mind that there are many top Madden players that don't regularly play in significant events outside of the MCS majors. Because of that, we have no meaningful way to include them in our power rankings if they didn't have a strong performance at the Madden Classic. If your favorite player isn't on our list, that's likely why.
