The hot new Madden game is dropping in a couple of short weeks and you're probably dying to know which Las Vegas Raiders players you will be utilizing the most this season. Read on for more about who to play as, how to play as them, and some of the key ways these players can help you win games.
1. Darren Waller 85

After three lackluster seasons in the NFL, Darren Waller upped his game in 2019 and totaled over 1000 yards with three touchdowns to match. If nothing else, he was one of the leading receivers for the Las Vegas Raiders and very much a factor in helping Derek Carr move down the field.
Now, the craziest part about this whole rating is that it s the highest boost for any member of the Raiders roster and should make him damn near impossible to stop in the game. In fact, if he gets the right routes and can speed away from his receiver, just sling the ball to him for some easy yardage.
2. Trent Brown 87
One sack. That is all Trent Brown allowed on Derek Carr in 300 pass-blocking attempts last season, which makes him more than deserving of his 87 overall Madden rating. While he isn t ranked as high as Incognito or Hudson, he is someone that is able to guard the quarterback and stop them from taking game losing sacks.
If nothing else, Brown s rating should allow players a few extra key seconds in the pocket and maybe even a chance at those long yardage plays. Of course, this doesn't mean Brown will be able to come up clutch every time, but he will certainly be a guy you want blocking for you during key moments.
3. Josh Jacobs 88
This man put up top tier numbers during his rookie season in the NFL and while a lot of that has to do with the previously mentioned Rodney Hudson and Richie Incognito, Jacobs abilities speak for themselves. Furthermore, he is someone that can take the ball and run with it when Derek Carr needs a key play.
Jacobs will enjoy an 88-overall ranking in Madden, which will make him great for cutting up defenses for a plethora of yards and moving the chains. Maybe using him in conjunction with Derek Carr will make up for the fact that the QB is only a 78 overall this year, which is going to hurt you on offense.
4. Richie Incognito 88
Remember Richie Incognito? If not, he was the supposed aggressor in a bullying incident that set the NFL ablaze a couple of years ago. The scandal got so bad that the Miami Dolphins ended up cutting him and making drastic culture changes to their team.
With that being said, it might have all been for the best as Incognito is now an absolute beast on the Raiders' 0-line. He even got the high honor of being the second highest-rated player on the Raiders roster, which means that he will be almost impossible to get past and will help you move the ball with Josh Jacobs.
5. Rodney Hudson 93
Not only is Mr. Hudson an absolute beast in real life, but he is also the best center in Madden 21 and the highest-ranked player on the Las Vegas Raiders roster. While there aren t a ton of stats to justify this ranking, especially since Hudson is a center, his towering height and powerful size should be a great shield for Derek Carr.
