The Bears Wide Receivers Won’t Be Happy

The people over at Electronic Arts wanted to start the week off with a bang and man did they deliver. They released the ratings for every wide receiver in the NFL. Here are some of the notable Bears Madden 24 ratings:

DJ Moore: 86

Darnell Mooney: 81

Chase Claypool: 76

Dante Pettis: 73

Tyler Scott: 71

Velus Jones Jr: 69 (Nice)

Although most Bears receivers won’t be happy with their rating, only one has called out EA so far. It was newcomer DJ Moore. He was not letting the disrespect fly.

A 86 ? 😂😂 Come on now @EAMaddenNFL

How can you blame Moore for calling out EA for such a considerablely low rating given his production over the last few seasons. Some are calling it the “Bears Tax” which means the league won’t value him as much since he’s Chicago. In all honestly, I kind of believe this to an extent but it will now be up to Moore to go out and prove them wrong. EA actually responded to DJ in a tweet stating that they believe he will be boosted to higher overall at some point next season.

We don't expect you to be in the 80s for long 🤝 #Madden24

If Fields and Moore can continue to build on the momentum they have already established, I don’t see why Moore’s rating wouldn’t rise as the NFL season progresses. The quarterback ratings are set to be revealed this Friday and my guess for Justin Fields overall is 76. He was a 74 in Madden 23. Just like Moore, I believe his number will rise too.
