EA Sports' Madden 27 has released its 99 Club for their upcoming Madden game that releases on August 13. We got to looking at the 99 Club, and it seems like these rankings are highly influenced by fantasy production in many cases. Some of these rankings make sense, but others simply don't. We are going to decide if these fantasy football stars deserve their 99 rating in the new Madden game, and if it translates to fantasy football.
QB Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills
If you were filling out his actual Madden statistics, it's hard to imagine that he should equal out to a 99 because he isn't the most accurate quarterback in the world. With that being said, he should be the best quarterback in the NFL, in the game, and in fantasy football this season. Especially when you consider Patrick Mahomes is still recovering from a torn ACL late in the season.
We do believe that it's fair for Allen to have a 99 ranking. However, I'll still be playing with Lamar Jackson when I get my copy of the game. I'd also prefer to draft him in fantasy at his ADP, but would take Allen as the QB1 at an equal price.
QB Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams
