WR Rankings: Chase Tops Week

Ja'Marr Chase comes into the Dallas matchup with a strong history against the Cowboys, having recorded 14 catches for 177 yards and two touchdowns in their last meeting, which earned him AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors. In his last five games, Chase has amassed 441 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns. Justin Jefferson has also historically dominated his opponent, the Atlanta Falcons. In two previous matchups, he has averaged 8 receptions, 149 receiving yards, and 2 touchdowns. Over his last five games, Jefferson has totaled 249 receiving yards. Amon-Ra St. Brown, on the other hand, will be looking to improve on his past performances against the Green Bay Packers. In his last ten games against them, he has averaged 5.1 catches and 52.6 yards per game with 3 total touchdowns. Puka Nacua, a fifth-round draft pick, is coming off a historic rookie season where he set NFL records for both receptions (105) and receiving yards (1,486) by a rookie. He burst onto the scene in his first two games, setting a record for the most receptions by a rookie in a single game with 15 and becoming the first player to have over 10 catches and 100 yards in each of his first two NFL games. A.J. Brown made history in 2023 by becoming the first NFL receiver to record 125 or more receiving yards in six consecutive games. This record-breaking performance included a stretch of five games with over 125 yards, tying him with Calvin Johnson and Pat Studstill for the longest such streak. Mike Evans has been a model of consistency throughout his career, tying Jerry Rice for the most consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons to start a career with eleven. This remarkable streak was kept alive in the final game of the 2024 season. Tee Higgins recently signed a four-year, $115 million contract extension to remain with the Cincinnati Bengals, making him the highest-paid No. 2 wide receiver in the league. The deal was reportedly influenced by quarterback Joe Burrow and fellow receiver Ja'Marr Chase, who advocated for keeping the trio together. Cooper Kupp, the 2021 Offensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl MVP, has faced challenges with injuries since his historic season. After being released by the Rams, he signed a three-year, $45 million contract with the Seattle Seahawks.
