Another week of NFL action has given us another Madden 22 Roster Update, and Week 5 saw several huge names both rise and fall.
With two of the games highest rated players on the move, we're taking a closer look at the top 50 ratings changes in the Week 5 Madden 22 Roster Update.
Madden 22 Roster Update: Top 50 Week 5 Ratings Changes
As has been standard since the NFL season began and Madden 22 was released, we've consistently gotten a weekly Madden 22 Roster Update with several ratings shifts.
While at a glance it may be surprising to see, the top rated player on the move this week did technically see an improvement, even if his rating appears to have gone down.
Tom Brady was boosted to 99 OVR temporarily last week after breaking the all-time passing record, but that 99 Club membership was promptly revoked as he only earned that due to the record.
The same happened with Justin Tucker, who jumped to 99 OVR before being dropped back down 90 OVR, which was still 3 points above his 87 OVR rating prior to the temporary 99 Club boost.
While Brady dips to 98 OVR compared to last week's record-induced 99 Club reign, it still puts him one point up from the 97 OVR rating Brady had the week before.

Lamar Jackson continues to see a steady ratings improvement
While there were plenty of quarterbacks making ratings moves in this Madden 22 Roster Update, both positive and negative, it's Lamar Jackson who stands out the most.
While Brady still has the higher overall rating, Brady also started the year at 97 OVR while Lamar Jackson was just a 91 OVR at launch.
That's three points below the 94 OVR rating that Jackson had when Madden 21 launched, but he's slowly working his way back up to that same level.
In the last two weeks we've seen two one-point improvements for Jackson, carrying him now to a 93 OVR rating.
Lamar Jackson has remained the fifth highest rated quarterback in Madden 22 even as his ratings haf gone up, but he's now just one point away from tying Russell Wilson at fourth.
Patrick Mahomes (99 OVR), Tom Brady (98 OVR), and Aaron Rodgers (95 OVR) all round out the top five, but if they're not careful Jackson will be on their heels in no time.
