Christian Gonzales, CB, New England Patriots – 97 OVR (+1)
Gonzales is now tied with Pat Surtain II for the highest OVR rating for a Cornerback in Madden 26. Furthermore, he’s an integral part of a strong Patriots’ defense that forced 5 turnovers in a 28-16 win over the Texans. Gonzales and the defense has limited opponents to just 19 points in two playoff games. It won’t be easy for Broncos’ backup QB Bo Nix this weekend as he’ll face Gonzales and a tough Patriots’ secondary.
Kenneth Walker III, RB, Seattle Seahawks – 88 OVR (+1)
Kenneth Walker III was a big part of the Seahawks’ dominant 41-6 win over the 49ers. He scored three touchdowns while also rushing for 116 yards on 19 carries. Unfortunately for Seattle, they’ll be without backup RB Zach Charbonnet, who was a great back to have rotating with Walker. We wonder how this loss could impact the Hawks’ run game against the Rams. Nevertheless, L.A. will still need to stop the guy who ran for 100 yards against them last time they played.
