Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase has dropped 12 spots in the NFL Top 100 ranking, falling from No. 4 to No. 16 ahead of the 2026 season. Despite finishing with impressive statistics, including 125 receptions for 1,412 yards and eight touchdowns in 16 games, Chase's peers moved him down. The Cincinnati Bengals had a 6-11 record last season, and Chase played without quarterback Joe Burrow for much of the year.
Chase's drop is notable given his career track record of topping 1,000 receiving yards in each of his five NFL seasons and his 1,400 receiving yards last year. He led the AFC in catches and receiving yards and faced the most double coverage among receivers. Chase's production and workload suggest he remains an elite player, but his 2025 season indicates a potential drop in his ranking.
