The 5 most fun players to play with in Madden 18

Every Madden fanatic has their favorite player to play with, whether it be a running back from their hometown or a tight end from their favorite team.

But there are some Madden 18 players so objectively fun to use that it's impossible for anyone not to love embarrassing their friends with them.

Here are the game's five most fun players:

Tyreek Hill, WR, Chiefs

When it boils down to it, Madden is all about speed. And if you love speed, Hill is your man.

Only John Ross (98 speed) is faster than Hill (97 speed), and the Chiefs receiver is more agile and is a more dangerous returner. Throw in the fact that Hill can also run the ball, and you have maybe the most fun player in Madden 18.

What's better than playing as Lynch, running over a bunch of defenders, and yelling "Beast Mode!" at the top of your lungs?

Answer: absolutely nothing.

Lynch may not be rated as highly as he used to be (83 overall), but no running back can run harder (88 strength) or cause more virtual pain (98 trucking).

Bobby Wagner, LB, Seahawks

For defense lovers out there, it doesn't get much better than Wagner - especially if your preference is to survey the field from the middle linebacker spot.

While Wagner is among the more athletic linebackers in the game, capable of covering downfield, his unreal tackling (97) and hit power (95) ratings mean you can routinely make splash plays in run defense.

Sure, other quarterbacks have better arms or are better runners, but Wentz is an ascending star in both the real and virtual football worlds.

The quarterback has jumped up to 85 overall since the start of the year. He has the arm strength and accuracy to make all the throws you want, in and out of the pocket, and is one of the faster, stronger QBs in the game.

Plus, when you play as Wentz, you aren't just getting him. Jay Ajayi, Alshon Jeffery, and Zach Ertz headline arguably the most talented offense in the NFC.

Tavon Austin, WR, Rams

Sometimes, real-life football and Madden don't line up. Austin is a bust for the Rams - a gadget player who has never developed or found a significant role.

But in a video game, only his ratings matter: 95 speed, 94 acceleration, 89 elusiveness, 98 juke move, 93 spin moves. He's listed as a running back on Madden 18, so players can use his crazy speed to kill stretch and break defenses.

Austin is a big play waiting to happen, even if using him effectively and in exciting ways is a tough pill for Rams fans to swallow.
