KANSAS CITY, MP – JANUARY 15: Running back Le’Veon Bell /

Running backs

1. Le’Veon Bell

Gamers don’t have to wait until Bell resolves his contract situation with the Pittsburgh Steelers to enjoy Bell’s power and speed. At 97 overall, he’s a powerful weapon for any Madden player.

2. David Johnson

Johnson will not only be a force on offense, in both the running and passing attacks, but also on special teams as well. Players who have mastered the art of the kick return will enjoy playing with Johnson’s 94 overall rating.

3. LeSean McCoy

At 92 overall, McCoy is the focal point of the offense of any player using the Buffalo Bills. His lethal combination of elusiveness and speed in the game make him a delight for those who are able to make defenders miss with Madden‘s controls.

4. DeMarco Murray

See above and apply the same principle when playing with the Tennessee Titans. At 91 overall, getting the ball to Murray early and often is a great way to set up the rest of an offensive scheme.

5. Ezekiel Elliott

Players have no reason to fear a suspension in Madden. The second-year back begins this season with a 90 overall rating. It could be higher if not for his low marks as a part of the passing game, but he more than makes up for that in other ways.
