Hey Madden community! It's Friday and that means we have another top 10 list for you. We also have something special for you if you make it to the end of the article 👀. This week we're looking at the top 10 players in the Harvest program:
Top 10 Harvest Players in MUT 23
1. 93 OVR Aaron Rodgers (QB)
Whenever a new Rodgers item is released, it's almost certain that he's one of the best QBs in the game and this is no exception. His Slinger 1 pass release animation means he's able to get the ball out faster than anyone else. Rodgers can equip Set Feet Lead for 2 AP in its own slot, and then you can choose between Fearless, Hot Route Master, and Threat Detector, each for just 2 AP in a different slot. Elway's price has dropped about a million coins since the Harvest Rodgers reveal. That should tell you a lot about what the community thinks of this item.
2. 93 OVR Jeremy Chinn (SS)
Chinn is the best safety currently in the game and he has the best chance to defend against the aggressive catch meta. He's 6'3" with 93 speed, 91 acceleration, and 93 zone coverage which allows him to cover a lot of ground. You could user him at SUB LB or let him play a deep safety position. Chinn can equip Pick Artist for 0 AP which means he can catch dropped passes that would otherwise fall harmlessly to the turf. Also, if you run a Cover 3 or Cover 4 scheme, consider running Deep In Zone KO for only 1 AP to trigger knockout animations in the deep middle of the field.
3. 93 OVR Lawrence Taylor (ROLB)
Last week we ranked the top 10 pass rushers in the game, and if he had been available, Taylor would have been on top of that list. He can equip the Edge Threat and Double or Nothing combo for just 3 AP (it ordinarily costs 6 AP). He has 91 speed, 90 acceleration, 90 finesse moves, 92 power moves, and all three pass rush traits. He's everything you want in a pass rusher. Remember that you have the option to run him at either DE position and still get chemistry boosts since he gets LE, RE, and LOLB as secondary positions.
4. 93 OVR Tariq Woolen (CB)
Competitive Pass Woolen was a staple in many MUT defenses for a long time, and this is the newer, better version. This new Woolen is 6'4" with 93 speed, 94 acceleration, 92 agility, 90 change of direction, 92 man coverage, 93 zone coverage, 93 press, and 95 jumping. He's the ideal MUT corner, especially for the current meta that's dominated by height. He also can equip Tip Drill for 0 AP which means he can catch dropped passes, just like Chinn, without having to spend any of your limited Ability Points.
5. 93 OVR Randy Moss (WR)
It's crazy we're all the way down to number five before mentioning the greatest WR of all time (feel free to tell us why you think Jerry is better in the comments). We just couldn't put him above any of the players we've already discussed. You already know Moss is 6'4" with top end speed and he always comes with amazing WR ratings. What makes him even better this time around is that he can equip Deep Out Elite for 0 AP to help win even more jump balls deep down field. You can also run Route Technician for 3 AP to help create consistent separation in man coverage.
6. 93 OVR Darren Waller (TE)
Waller is an absolute beast at TE. He's 6'6" with 91 speed and 90+ in all route running ratings. He also has 93 trucking to help you break tackles after the catch. Waller is the first TE to get Short In Elite for 1 AP and TE Apprentice for 1 AP in different slots so you can equip them both for a discount at the same time. Keep in mind you sub him in at WR in your favorite formations to create mismatches against smaller DBs.
7. 93 OVR Robert Griffin III (QB)
RG3 is the best mobile QB in the game. He has 93 speed, 94 throw power, 94 throw on the run, and great accuracy ratings (89 SAC, 91 MAC, 93 DAC). He's basically a running back in the open field with 93 juke moves, 92 spin moves, 93 change of direction, and 93 break tackle. He can equip Gunslinger for 2 AP to speed up his release and your choice of Fearless for 2 AP, Set Feet Lead for 2 AP, or Juke Box for 0 AP. If your scheme involves designed QB runs or RPOs, strongly consider picking up RG3 if you haven't already.
8. 93 OVR Jason Taylor (RE)
Taylor is another pass rusher we covered in last week's top 10 list. He has all the ratings you're looking for in a pass rusher, but the fact he can equip Unpredictable for 0 AP makes him even more valuable. It helps him generate organic pressure without having to spend any of your Ability Point budget.
9. 93 OVR Zack Martin (RG)
We know most of you don't get excited over linemen, but Martin is by far the best lineman in the Harvest program. He has great run blocking and pass blocking ratings. He can equip Nasty Streak for only 1 AP which helps dominate blocks down field. He also can equip your choice of Fool Me Once for 0 AP, Post Up for 1 AP, or Secure Protector for 1 AP. Our advice is to go with Secure Protector to hold up in pass protection, but Post Up also has value in double-team block situations.
10. 93 OVR Nick Chubb (HB)
Chubb is the best power back available in MUT right now. He has 92 speed, 94 acceleration, 93 trucking, 91 stiff arm, and 94 break tackle. He can equip Goal Line Back for 0 AP. It's hard to justify spending AP on an ability that only works on 5% of the field, but when it's free, there is a lot of value in goal line situations. He can also equip Bruiser for just 1 AP which upgrades his truck and stiff arm animations.

There were a few more players that could have made the list this week, but we had to cut it off at 10. Let us know who you think our biggest snub was or what you would have done differently in your rankings.
