NEW DROP: Madden 22 has released the Rising Stars set featuring Chase Claypool

Let's take a look at the players involved in the MUT 22 Rising Stars set.

Best Players in the Rising Stars set

With each release, players set themselves apart in their set. The Rising Stars set in Madden 22 is no different and it highlights one rookie QB as the best in the group.

Remember that this could change every week, but we'll be sure to keep you updated as more Rising Stars are added.

Mac Jones - QB - 91 OVR

Mac Jones would go perfectly inside of a Patriots Theme Team, if that's what you're looking to create. He's got good speed and throw power, but has a 77 RUN. He fits best inside of a West Coast offense, so consider him if that's the offense you're running.

BIG MAC: The 91 OVR Mac Jones card is great for West Coast offenses

If you're thinking about passing on him, no worries, as this card will net you a ton at the Auction House. Currently, the 91 OVR Mac Jones is going for 158K.

Chase Claypool - WR - 90 OVR

Building a Steelers Theme Team but don't know which wide receivers you should have? It's time for you to grab the 90 OVR Chase Claypool. He's a jump ball menace that will ensure you touchdowns and is always a deep threat.

JUMP BALL: Chase Claypool could be the perfect addition to your receiving corps

Maybe you're set with your MUT 22 primary receivers, but could you imagine a receiver with 91 SPD in the slot? It'd be the perfect spot for Chase Claypool in your Madden Ultimate Team lineup.

Isaiah Simmons - MLB - 90 OVR

Ready to boost your defense with a solid MLB? If so, you'll want to get your hands on Isaiah Simmons, the 90 OVR MLB perfect for a Cardinals Theme Team. Simmons is probably the best overall option at this position right now because he does everything well.

GENERAL: Add Isaiah Simmons to your Madden Ultimate Team lineup ASAP

The only area where he has trouble would be in Pass Rush situations, but he makes up for it as a coverage linebacker. He's also bringing in the most dough at the Auction House at 193K.

All Remaining Players in MUT 22 Rising Stars

The players above are great and definitely separate themselves from the rest in terms of how they'll fit on your team.

However, there are some other great players included in the MUT 22 Rising Stars set that you'll be able to grab.

  • Gregory Rousseau - LE - 90 OVR
  • Nick Bolton - MLB - 90 OVR
  • Patrick Surtain II - CB - 90 OVR
