Playing franchise mode with your favorite team can be difficult if they're terrible, so here are the three best teams to rebuild in Madden 21.

Madden season and the NFL season are well underway and players are looking for their next challenge in EA's long-standing gridiron game. While The Yard offers players a new game mode, Face of the Franchise is revamped and better than ever, there's nothing quite like the classic Madden Franchise mode.

There are many different ways to play Franchise. Most people simply chose their favorite team to have a fantasy scenario of being controlling owner or coach. If you're looking for a reclamation project, this is the article for you. Here are the top three picks to rebuild a team in Madden 21 Franchise mode.

3 Best Teams to Rebuild in Madden 21

Miami Dolphins

The first team on the list is the Miami Dolphins. Though they haven't enjoyed much success over the past few seasons, they are well positioned to be a future contender. They drafted who they hope to be their franchise quarterback in Tua Tagovailoa (73 overall) in April's draft, and made some key signings in free agency. Byron Jones (88 overall) and Kyle Van Noy 86 overall) highlight the potential in the 'Fins defense.

Detroit Lions

Next are the Detroit Lions. While you'll likely only be getting a couple more years at best out of current QB Matthew Stafford (83 overall) there's a solid supporting cast should you be able to find Stafford's successor. Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones Jr. (86 & 85 overall) will serve as great pass-catching options for your future franchise QB.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Last on the list, the Jacksonville Jaguars. There's no way around it, this franchise is not any good right now. But that's not to say they're without potential franchise cornerstones. Many believe Josh Allen could be a game-wrecker on defense and his 81 overall starting rating is a good launch-point. The key to rebuilding this franchise will be the continued development of Gardner Minshew III, and effective draft picks to round out the offensive talent.
