Who will grace the cover of ‘Madden NFL 25’? C.J. Stroud, Justin Jefferson among my top candidates

The list of top NFL wide receivers is so saturated these days that a single off year, coupled with the short-term memory of some eager fans, can cause one to topple down the rankings. Even so, Jefferson still draws plenty of support as the finest wideout in the league despite missing seven games due to injury. Why? Well, in the 10 games in which he was healthy enough to suit up, the man managed 68 receptions for 1,074 yards and five touchdowns. He averaged 107.4 yards per game in 2023, a figure which A) only put him behind Tyreek Hill (112.4) and B) was better than the 106.4 mark he posted as the 2022 Offensive Player of the Year.
