As the NFL Playoffs are in full swing, Madden 21 Team of the Week has brought gamers the TOTW players for weeks 16 and 17 of the season. The latest content release arrived on Tuesday, January 19, and included Offense and Defense Hero cards as well as Player of the Week and LTDs. Among the latest star players were the Cowboys’ Dak Prescott and Saints’ Jared Cook.
Madden 21 Team of the Week 16 includes Jared Cook, Jamison Crowder
Madden 21 Team of the Week 16 gives the best card of the bunch to current New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook. While his team lost in the NFC Divisional Round this past weekend, Cook still gets an LTD TOTW card from his days on the Tennessee Titans. Fumble jokes aside, he provides gamers a new tight end with 97 Spectacular Catch, 96 Catch in Traffic, 95 Short Route Run, 94 Catching, and 91 Speed.
Joining Cook as TOTW 16 Player of the Week is Michael Gallup with a 95 OVR card. The Cowboys wide receiver has 95 Catch in Traffic, 95 Spectacular Catch, 94 Speed, and 94 Jumping.
The Offense Hero for Week 16 is Santana Moss, while former Carolina Panthers star Luke Kuechly is Defense Hero. Both players receive 95 OVR cards which could give their respective theme teams or MUT rosters a nice boost.
