Madden NFL 11 Week 8 Roster and Rating Changes
It's been another busy week of transactions and rating adjustments in the NFL.  Here are a few of the highlights:
  • Ray Lewis jumps all the way up to a 99 Swagger and 96 Overall this week after a huge game last week
  • Chris Johnson-Mr. CJ2K-has been having an up and down 2010 season. He falls back down to a 98 Overall this week after his 24 carry/66 yards performance against Philadelphia last Sunday.
  • Vernon Davis is inching closer and closer to that elusive 99 Overall rating. VD is all the way up to a 98 Overall this week.
  • Approximately 275+ transactions, rating adjustments and depth chart moves are updated in this Week 8 update.
