Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase has been on a tear to begin his NFL career and his hot start has him near the top of the leaderboard in receiving touchdowns through the first three weeks of the season.
Chase has four touchdowns, currently tied with four other players for second in the league and just one behind Rams WR Cooper Kupp for the top spot. Chase is tied with Buccaneers TE Rob Gronkowski, Chargers WR Mike Williams and Vikings WR Adam Thielen.
The wild part is he has done all this on just 11 catches, averaging 20 yards per catch, which ranks sixth in the league.
- Eagles WR Quez Watkins – 26.6
- Buccaneers WR Antonio Brown – 23.0 (two games)
- Jaguars WR – DJ Chark Jr. – 22.0
- Raiders WR Henry Ruggs III – 21.5
- Raiders WR Bryan Edwards – 21.0
- Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase – 20.0
Not a bad start for someone who had trouble catching the football in the preseason.
