The New Orleans Saints looked exceptional in their Week 1 matchup, taking a 47-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers and playing well in all three phases of the game. With that, the Madden 25 ratings for multiple Saints players have been adjusted, six in total to be exact, all of whom received upgrades and no Saints received downgraded ratings. For what it's worth, it would be hard to justify downgrades to any player in that type of victory, but seeing improvement considering many players seemed undervalued in the Madden metrics is a positive.
Here are the players who received upgraded ratings:
