Cincinnati Bengals wideout Ja’Marr Chase repped the team just outside the top 20 in new rankings.
Over at Pro Football Focus, the slow rollout of the top 50 players of the 2024 season from Sam Monson included Chase at No. 24:
Even without a healthy Joe Burrow for most of the season (very much hampered and then shut down for the year), Ja’Marr Chase had a big season, catching 100 passes for 1,216 yards and earning an 85.3 PFF overall grade in the process. Every receiver needs service, but Chase showed that he can cook regardless of who is throwing him the football. With Burrow back in 2024, expect to see one of the best in the game continue to excel.
The stat included on the social media post is wilder than anything else:
Ja’Marr Chase: 9 TDs of 50+ yards since joining the league
T-1st during that span

When it comes to Chase, the conversation around his numbers must always include the fact he missed time in 2022 due to injury, and the quarterback position was a mess in 2023, too.
Wildly enough, Chase has the talent to keep rising up rankings like this if things like health go well, too.
