5 Underrated players To Watch For In Madden 18
If you play Madden, you are always looking for the opportunity to find undervalued players. You may want to use an unsuspecting wide receiver to throw away your opponent, or with a powerful running to pry defense when no one is ready.
So, we have listed five often overlooked players, their overall score is 80 points or so. These are just a few radar players that have been noticed in Madden 18, without specific order.
Tyler Lockett WR/KR – Seattle Seahawks
Tyler Lockett must be one of the forgotten and versatile weapons in the game. This did not help him to be hurt most of the season, but whether or not he could change a game for you at heartbeat, he has a 80 overall, 93 speed, 87 grab, 96 agile.
Lockett is one of Madden’s most dangerous returners, and with his catch rating being as high as it is, he makes for a deadly slot receiver in Seattle’s offense.
Derrick Henry RB – Tennessee Titans
Derek Henry is the only rookie. Henry had a good skill, and he was relatively neglected in Madden's game because he fell behind Demarco Murray in the depth map. But there is no doubt that Henry is an absolute beast, and if you decide in Tennessee's Madden 18 final, he will definitely be used.
Henry is an 80 overall, but he has an 88 speed rating, with an 89 truck, 89 carry, and 88 ball carrier vision. These ratings make Henry a great option in the short running game, and also in formations where two running backs are used.
Taylor Gabriel WR – Atlanta Falcons
Taylor Gabriel’s skill set is very similar to Lockett’s in that he works well in the return game as well in the role of slot receiver. For those playing with Atlanta in Madden, Gabriel is extremely under the radar since he plays next to Julio Jones, and is only rated at a 79 overall.
Gabriel is a great change of pace receiver next to Jones. Having a nice 93 speed rating, and an 86 catch make Gabriel serviceable, but it’s his 95 jump makes him just as dangerous in those situations when you need to throw deep.
Ryan Shazier Middle Linebacker (MLB) – Pittsburgh Steelers
Ryan Shazier is the only defensive player on the defensive list, but as more and more Madden players control the MLB's defensive position, he's definitely worth mentioning
Shazier is a 80 overall, but boasts a 90 speed rating, an 85 tackle, and an 81 play recognition. Shazier’s speed alone makes him a great option at the position, but he also has a big hitter trait, high motor trait, and a strips the ball trait. All this combined means the future is bright for Shazier in Madden 18.
Jameis Winston QB – Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Given that he was the first choice two years ago, it was hard to believe that Jameis Winston was under the radar quarterback. Winston's overall score of 80 points, some may be low.
Few players use the Bucs when playing in online H2H matches, but Winston has some great attributes that certainly make him worth a second look when picking a team to play with. Jameis sports a whopping 95 throw power, 78 speed, and 81 agility to go with his 85 short accuracy, 81 mid accuracy, and 78 deep accuracy.
Winston is definitely an under utilized quarterback, and should be a true sleeper when Madden 18 comes around in August.
