The full slate of Madden 27 player ratings is out, and the Dallas Cowboys already have a clear leader. CeeDee Lamb sits at the top of the team at 93 overall as EA Sports moves the game closer to release.
That is why the ratings are drawing attention now: they give Cowboys fans an early read on how the roster stacks up before Madden 27 arrives. Lamb’s No. 1 spot is followed by Quinnen Williams, Dak Prescott, George Pickens, Tyler Smith, Brandon Aubrey, Javonte Williams, Jalen Thompson, Rashan Gary and DaRon Bland, with Pickens coming in at 89. Several Cowboys are clustered in the top 10, which gives the game a quick snapshot of the group most likely to shape the season.
Lamb’s rating fits the way he is viewed after a 2025 season in which he had a down year by his own standards but still made his fifth Pro Bowl. Prescott’s placement is just as notable. He has climbed above 90 and is still being treated like one of the NFL’s best, even after the Cowboys won just seven games last year. That gap between reputation and results is part of what makes preseason ratings chatter matter to fans: the numbers can praise a star even when the standings do not.
Brandon Aubrey’s ranking may be the most striking of the rest. He has made kicks from 60 yards six times, more than any player in NFL history, and that kind of range helps explain why he is in the Cowboys’ top 10. Javonte Williams arrives after posting a career high in rushing yards in 2025, while Rashan Gary’s place is backed by a steady run in Green Bay, where he had at least 7.5 sacks four times and in each of the last three seasons. DaRon Bland rounds out the list after a 2023 season that featured nine interceptions and an NFL-record five Pick 6 touchdowns.
The ratings do not tell the whole story, but they do show where Madden 27 sees the Cowboys’ core right now. With the game closing in on release, the next thing fans will be watching is whether these numbers hold or shift before kickoff arrives in the game and on the field.
