Legend. OVR is EA Sports’ overall player rating (0–99) in the Madden NFL 27 Week 4 ratings update. Stat lines are for the first four games of 2026 and are blank (—) for positions where ESPN does not publish a box-score line, such as offensive linemen. Status is the injury designation ESPN lists on Oct. 11 and changes often. cmp = completions/attempts, car = carries, rec = receptions, tkl = tackles, PD = passes defended. Madden ratings can change weekly during the season.

Glossary of stat definitions
- FPI
- Football Power Index: ESPN’s rating of team strength, in points per game versus an average team on a neutral field.
- EPA
- Expected points added. In ESPN’s FPI, the offense, defense and special-teams EPA components show each unit’s contribution to the FPI rating.
- Red-zone TD %
- Share of trips inside the opponent’s 20-yard line that end in a touchdown.
- Turnover differential
- Takeaways minus giveaways; positive is better.
- Net punting average
- Gross punt yards minus return yards and touchbacks, per punt.
- Rank
- Position among all 32 teams; “T-” means tied. For points allowed, giveaways, and similar “lower is better” numbers, 1st is the lowest. Ranks are computed by us from ESPN’s team data for all 32 teams.
Ratings explained
Where the ratings come from. Player ratings are EA Sports’ Madden NFL 27 overall ratings (Week 4 update). Team ratings are ESPN’s Football Power Index. Everything else on this page is a record, a date or a counting statistic.
What they are not. Madden ratings are a video-game publisher’s judgment of player ability and change during the season. FPI is a statistical model that uses only four games of 2026 data plus preseason priors, so it moves quickly. Neither is a Boston Report grade, and we do not invent ratings: where a source has no rating for a player or coach, we leave it out.
Gaps. There is no published rating for coaches or front-office staff, so those rows show records and titles only. Offensive linemen and some other positions have no ESPN stat line (—). Madden ratings change with each weekly update.
