It doesn't matter which of the 32 NFL teams you root for, chances are that Madden for any given year will do something you feel is a slight to one or multiple of the players that reside on your favorite team's roster. Madden 22 is no different and fans have already come out in the dozens to voice their opinions.

Plenty of the teams in the game have talent, but there's only a handful or so that are great options when it comes to starting up a new franchise in franchise mode, in an attempt to take a team to the promised land and form a Super Bowl-winning dynasty.

Updated April 5, 2022, by Jerrad Wyche: The NFL offseason is well underway in 2022 and many teams are changing their rosters, hopefully for the better. Between free agency signings, trades, and the NFL Draft there is plenty to get excited about. Madden 22 offers you the ability to download updated rosters made by other users, meaning you can have access to the current lineup of your favorite team. This also makes franchise mode and which team you pick in said mode a lot more interesting.

15 Jacksonville Jaguars

Madden 22 Franchise Best Teams Jaguards

The Jacksonville Jaguars are a team that is perfect for the type of player who wants to build their own roster but wants to have some tools at their disposal. With rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence under center, it allows you to build the offense in a way you see fit. Add in the signings of right guard Brandon Scherff and wide receiver Christian Kirk in free agency and you have an emerging offense.

On the defensive side, they have a young emerging superstar in the defensive end, Josh Allen, as well. They may not have stacked picks in terms of draft capital, but their cap space situation is one of the best in the league. A great proposition for free agents is simply paying them more than the other guy.

14 Philadelphia Eagles

Madden 22 Franchise Best Teams Eagles

Now, not everyone is sold on Jalen Hurts being the franchise quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, but they're positioned in a way that entices those on either side of that argument.

Their three first-round picks in the 2022 NFL Draft allow you to either draft significant additions on both sides of the ball to aid Hurts, or alternatively, you can use those picks to draft a quarterback or package them to land a veteran. When it comes to franchise mode and drafting, the Eagles might be the most entertaining choice.

13 New York Jets

Madden 22 Franchise Best Teams Jets

Now, it needs to be stated upfront that the New York Jets are a tough rebuilding project, but their pieces make it enticing enough to invest in the potential. In addition to their core trio of rookie offensive playmakers quarterback Zach Wilson, running back Michael Carter, and wide receiver Elijah Moore they also have a nice crop of draft picks.

This doesn't even take into account their emerging offensive line, as well. The real challenge will be using the cap space and draft picks to build up a rather lackluster defensive roster outside of star defensive lineman Quinnen Williams.

12 Los Angeles Chargers

Madden 22 Franchise Best Teams los angeles chargers

It may feel low for a team with pure superstar talent on both sides of the ball, but the Los Angeles Chargers still have plenty of holes that make them lesser than the other teams on the list. Justin Herbert seems primed to be the next great young quarterback and is surrounded by great weapons.

On defense, you can use their all-world safety talent, Derwin James, as much as you'd like, but unlike Herbert you're going to have a tough time, initially, finding any other bright spots on that defense outside of pass rushers Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack.

11 Green Bay Packers

Madden 22 Franchise Best Teams green bay packers

The reality of the 2021 NFL season was that it was likely the last time we saw Aaron Rodgers in a Green Bay Packers uniform and/or throwing to Davante Adams. It turns out that the latter of those two things was the eventuality, with Adams now a member of the Las Vegas Raiders.

With their new draft compensation, the Packers have a good number of draft picks you'll need to use to rebuild a team that was contending for years. You'll need to make the most out of Rodger's final years as you try and form a contender once again.

10 Dallas Cowboys

Madden 22 Franchise Best Teams dallas cowboys

Most people dislike the Dallas Cowboys, for one reason or another. The truth is, no matter where you fall on that concept, it's hard to deny how explosive and talented their offense is. Both quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott are good, but with Amari Cooper now in Cleveland the development of CeeDee Lamb is pivotal.

Sure the defense is a giant liability with its lack of talent and skill, but in terms of a video game their rookie middle linebacker, Micah Parson will at least make that side of the ball entertaining and engaging from time to time as the reigning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.

9 Chicago Bears

Madden 22 Franchise Best Teams chicago bears

When you selected the Chicago Bears in previous editions of Madden, you'd know you were getting a solid defense, but would have to work around the offensive shortcomings. Though the former is still true, the latter is different this time around.

RELATED: Madden 22 Player Ratings: The Best Overall Running Backs, Ranked

If you pick the Bears you'll not only have Justin Fields at quarterback, but you'll have David Montgomery in the backfield and wide receiver Darnell Mooney to throw to in what feels like the most youthful offense the Chicago Bears have rostered in years.

8 Miami Dolphins

Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins are a team that's seen a lot of changes as of late and have quietly emerged as a pretty interesting option for franchise mode.

Provided you've downloaded the latest rosters via the file-sharing feature on Madden 22, you'll see what makes the Dolphins a viable selection. The addition of superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill adds a dynamic playmaker opposite of rookie wide receiver Jaylen Waddle. If you don't enjoy using quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, the team has plenty of picks in the NFL Draft that you can package together to move up and draft someone you want to lead your franchise.

7 Denver Broncos

Broncos

The Denver Broncos have felt like a team that was simply a quarterback away from making noise in the AFC, and with their trade for quarterback Russell Wilson from the Seattle Seahawks in the 2022 offseason, those questions will be answered.

He comes in and immediately adds a level of consistency to that position group the Broncos have lacked since Peyton Manning's retirement. The offense has plenty of weapons, and the defense is good enough to hold its own. The real issue is whether you feel like battling against what many consider to be the toughest division in the entirety of the NFL in the AFC West.

6 Las Vegas Raiders

Raiders

A year ago it'd be hard to recommend anyone outside of the fanbase to use the Las Vegas Raiders in franchise mode. These days you'd be a fool not to consider them, despite how tough the division they belong to has become.

The trade with the Green Bay Packers for all-pro wide receiver Davante Adams reunites him with his college quarterback Derek Carr. Add in the fact that they improved their defensive line with the signings of Chandler Jones and Bilal Nichols, among other pieces and it's hard to deny how good this team out west can be. The one real concern is how consistent and viable their offensive line will be, but that didn't stop Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals from making the Super Bowl last season.

5 San Francisco 49ers

Madden 22 Franchise Best Teams san francisco 49ers

The reason the San Francisco 49ers get the edge over the Chicago Bears simply comes down to their offensive weapons and defensive studs being younger than their Chicago counterparts. Trey Lance, the rookie quarterback, may not be throwing to wideouts that aren't as good as Allen Robinson right now, but he'll have them for plenty of years.

The combination of Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and the All-Pro elite tight end George Kittle will make it feel like you're playing backyard football.

4 Cincinnati Bengals

Madden 22 Franchise Best Teams Bengals

If there's one thing the 2021-22 NFL season did, it showcased how much potential the young upstart Cincinnati Bengals have. The offense is filled with young explosive talent at every skill position, and the defense is one of the more underrated units in the league.

With the offensive line being heavily upgraded in free agency, you can avoid the incredible pressure Joe Burrow was under and prove that their ascendence and Super Bowl contention wasn't a fluke, but rather a showcase of a team built to contend for the foreseeable future.

3 Los Angeles Rams

Madden 22 Franchise Best Teams los angeles rams

If you were to just look at the Los Angeles Rams defense you could make a case for choosing them in franchise mode. They have the highest overall player in Madden 22 in defensive tackle Aaron Donald and the game's highest overall cornerback in Jalen Ramsey. Not to mention they are the reigning Super Bowl Champions after defeating the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI.

You then take a look at the offense, which now has Matthew Stafford at quarterback in addition to Allen Robison at wide receiver, and it's hard to argue how fun and explosive this team can be to use week after week.

2 Buffalo Bills

Madden 22 Franchise Best Teams buffalo bills

Now, the Buffalo Bills may be coming in as the second-best team to use in Madden 22's franchise mode, but they're closer to a 1B than a 2. Josh Allen is a dual-threat quarterback with a cannon of an arm and all the talent in the world.

The issue is that he was snubbed in terms of overall, and if he was given a proper rating, they'd likely be the team at the top of this list. Overall their defense is better than that of the Kansas City Chiefs, but fall short when it comes to talent at tight end and running back.

1 Kansas City Chiefs

Madden 22 Franchise Best Teams kansas city chiefs

At the end of the day, it's hard to beat both the talent and entertainment value the Kansas City Chiefs bring to Madden 22. If you choose them as your franchise team, not only will you be a playoff contender every year, but you're also getting a relatively young quarterback with a high overall in Patrick Mahomes. The departure of wide receiver Tyreek Hill is something you'll need to solve in order to make sure that the offense doesn't miss a beat.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire is also a dual-threat running back that can be used on all three downs, which isn't too shabby. On defense, players can also experiment with how they use Justin Reid, the safety who signed in free agency, formerly of the Houston Texans.
