Top 5 Wide Receiver Items in MUT

A dominant WR is a real force in Madden NFL 16, especially with all the new catching mechanics. These elite-level players can bail your QB out on a bad throw and make some spectacular plays. Continue to feed these players the ball until the defense commits to double-teaming them. They may be covered, but they are always open!

Julio Jones

Style: Speed Run

Julio Jones is capable of making every catch type look routine. With a great blend of size and speed, Julio is like a combination of A.J. Green and the more powerful Demaryius Thomas. Jones has everything in one package and can beat nearly any DB one-on-one.

Odell Beckham Jr.

Style: Short Pass

Odell Beckham Jr. exploded onto the scene last season and quickly showed off his top 5 talent. Odell Beckham Jr. is an all-around talent and has the added bonus of making highlight reel plays for your offense. If you want spectacular catches, this is your receiver.

Calvin Johnson

Style: Ground and Pound

Johnson has one of the biggest bodies in all of Ultimate Team and can consistently make an aggressive catch downfield. There is no single defender in the game who isn’t a mismatch, so adding Megatron to your lineup will pay off big.

Dez Bryant

Style: Long Pass

Dez Bryant has turned into a red zone machine who is able to hang onto balls in traffic. Bryant is our favorite midrange receiver because he consistently fights defenders for catches and hangs onto them.

Antonio Brown

Style: Short Pass

Brown is an excellent choice for the top receiver spot because he really benefits from the new RAC (run after catch) move in Madden NFL 16. Brown can run any type of route, so making sure to use all the different types of catches will ensure he earns his number one spot.
