We're going to take a look at some of the most underrated rookie sleepers available to trade in Madden 23's Franchise Mode. Find out which young players have the most potential to become stars in Madden 23.
One of the most satisfying elements of managing a club in Madden NFL 23 is drafting or trading for a player that another team hasn't yet developed into a star and then seeing them rise to prominence under your leadership. The good news is that there are many Rookie Sleepers available to steal from other clubs and mould into future stars, whether you choose to accomplish so in your first season or over a few. You'll discover the best "sleeper players" to sign with your organization or to employ on your present squad below.
The ranking was compiled based on a number of factors, including but not limited to overall rating (neither too high nor too low), age or years of experience (the less, the better), position, club, organizational depth, and offseason adjustments. Furthermore, it's worth noting that in Madden NFL 23, it's far more straightforward for hidden talent to emerge. These aren't necessarily the players who will break out in the 2022 NFL season, but rather the ones who can be made into stars in the video game Madden.
Madden 23: Tua Tagovailoa - 76 OVR
In his third season, Tagavialoa should ascend from backup quarterback to top-12 contender. In 2021, Tagovailoa participated in 13 games and started 12. He completed more than three and a half more passes than he did as a rookie and passed for 2,653 yards. In addition to being sacked 20 times, he passed for 16 touchdowns. Additionally, he scored three touchdowns while rushing for 128 yards on 42 attempts.
Madden 23: Jr Derek Stingley - 77 OVR
Cornerback Derek Stingley, Jr., the lone rookie on the list, is a wonderful addition to your squad since he has a chance to become Houston's starting CB before the season ends. Stingley, Jr., the third generation of professional footballers in his family, joins a Houston squad still suffering from the Watson controversy and firmly in the rebuilding phase. You should make Stingley, Jr. a lockdown corner for your club (and Houston, if that's your preferred team) because of his outstanding Speed (93), which allows him to cover the quicker receivers in the league.
Madden 23: Isaiah Simmons - 78 OVR
Isaiah Simmons, a third-year player for the Arizona Cardinals, is one of the inside linebackers in their 3-4 defense and is due for a breakthrough season. With his 93 Speed, he is even more suited to play coverage than Oweh, and he possesses above-average sideline-to-sideline ability. A defense that features J.J. Watt and Budda Baker is something he wants to be a part of.
Madden 23: Odafe Oweh - 78 OVR
Odafe Oweh, a second-year linebacker, is set to continue in his starting role on the right side of the defense and prove himself as another strong defender for Baltimore. Oweh's height and weight are also remarkable. He is 6 feet, 5 inches tall, and 251 pounds. You may confidently use him in coverage against ends and even certain wideouts or in zones, thanks to his strong Speed rating of 89.
Madden 23: David Njoku - 80 OVR
The Cleveland quarterback situation has been resolved, thus, David Njoku, the sole tight end on the roster, should strengthen his position as a pass-catching tight end in Madden 23. Despite the fact that Deshaun Watson will miss the first 11 games of the 2022 season due to suspension, Njoku will still have a capable passer in Madden if you choose to start your club with Watson as the quarterback. Njoku's high-Speed rating of 86 will be an asset to his team.
Madden 23: Allen Lazard - 77 OVR
Since Allen Lazard has left, we are once again in the midst of a period of rapid expansion following the departure of a significant figure. This is especially true for Lazard and Green Bay, who had to deal with the offseason departure of star wide receiver Davante Adams to Las Vegas, home of the infamous 99 Club.
Although Sammy Watkins 80 - OVR and Randall Cobb 78 - OVR rank higher than Lazard on the depth chart, they are both beyond their primes and towards the conclusion of their careers, much like Lazard. Even though Aaron Rodgers and Randall Cobb have been teammates for a while, the Packers and Lazard have a great chance to make some huge plays in the future.
Madden 23: Trey Lance - 72 OVR
Trey Lance's potential is likely to be realized in Kyle Shanahan's playbook, but he is also a terrific choice as a backup quarterback or as the team's starting quarterback right now. If the buzz around him in the real-world transfers to Madden 23, where many experts are picking San Francisco to make and win the Super Bowl, he will undoubtedly be the game's Rookie of the Year and the best selection among the sleepers.
Madden 23: Jerry Jeudy - 82 OVR
The highest-rated athlete on this list, quarterback Jerry Jeudy, is selected because of a newcomer rather than a departure: Russell Wilson. Since Peyton Manning's retirement (and perhaps throughout his last season), Denver has been searching for a replacement quarterback. The former Seattle star may be the answer. Jeudy is in a position to become Wilson's new favorite target, and his presence alone should boost the performance of the whole offense. Having him on your side, particularly in Denver, where Wilson will undoubtedly be forced to scramble for extra time, should benefit from his 91 Speed.
Madden 23: Mecole Hardman - 79 OVR
Because Tyreke Hill is now playing in Miami, Hardman is a sneaky good choice in Madden 23. Even though JuJu Smith-Schuster (80 OVR) has been added to the team as the No. 1 wide receiver, he is older and has played for fewer years than Hardman (three), who has a rating of 79. With a Speed rating of 97, he is a more desirable option than Smith-Schuster on deep routes. He will start at one of your top two wideout spots on a lesser team and help shore up your receiving corps on a better squad if you're the one in charge of that squad.
Madden 23: Justin Fields - 74 OVR
The quarterback is entering his second season in Chicago, hoping to improve upon what can only be described as a trying first year. The 2022 Chicago Bulls will be in the league's cellar, and Justin Fields will be the only bright point. Chicago has to do all it takes to protect quarterback Fields by upgrading the offensive line if they want to win with him under centre. If you're the Bears' manager, your main goal should be fixing the offensive line so Fields can reach his full potential. Having reliable security in place is essential if you want to get him.
Final Thoughts
As we've shown in this article, Madden NFL 23 has a plethora of fantastic players that are buried deep inside the game's roster, but you have to know what to search for in order to find them. There are a number of different avenues that may be traded in order to acquire prospective great players for your squad, such as engaging in astute player scouting and negotiating advantageous trades. Even so, there are probably a few solid sleeper player alternatives that we overlooked altogether. More read on MMOexp.com.
